Dayton Power & Light (DP&L), a subsidiary of The AES Corporation
(NYSE:AES) today awarded the Kettering Health Network an energy
efficiency rebate of $200,700.80 for a project that upgraded the air
conditioning system at the Kettering Medical Center campus.
The project, which was implemented by Siemens, installed a Demand Flow
chilled water plant optimization control system that upgraded the air
conditioning system’s control logic, installed high accuracy sensors and
variable frequency drives, as well as other hardware to achieve the
higher energy efficiencies.
As a result of the energy efficiency upgrade, the Kettering Health
Network is expected to save 1,938,008 kilowatt hours a year and save
$135,000 a year in electricity costs.
“Like DP&L, Kettering Health Network is called upon to deliver safe and
reliable service to its customers 24/7. We are pleased to present
Kettering Health Network with a rebate check recognizing their efforts
towards increasing the energy efficiency of their buildings,” said DP&L
President and CEO Derek A. Porter.
“We appreciate this generous rebate from DP&L,” said Roy Chew, President
of Kettering Medical Center. “Our goal is to become more energy
efficient throughout our hospital. We appreciate Siemens’ help in
reaching one more milestone toward our goal.”
Kettering Health Network applied for the rebate in 2013. The system
upgrade which controls four chillers with the capacity of 3,400 tons of
cooling was completed in 2014. DP&L auditors collected data before and
after the installation at the Kettering Medical Center campus on
Southern Boulevard to determine the amount of savings and to verify the
improvement in energy efficiency.
