EECBG Mini Case Studies



	Baboa Park Centeral completes two HVAC improvement projects and three lighting upgrades. The Prado Ballroom, Balboa Park Visitor Center, and San Diego Museum of Art Offices are retrofitted with highly energy efficient lighting. The HVAC is upgraded with energy efficient hot and chilled water pumps. Learn more about energy efficiency at Balboa Park Central.
	The Mingei International Museum completes an air handler retrofit and installation of state-of-the-art variable frequency drives, creating an “All Variable Speed Central Plant” and reducing energy usage by 30%. Additionally, a new building management system is installed. Learn more about energy efficiency at the Minegi International Museum.
	The Museum of Photographic Arts (MoPA) installes two visually pleasing and energy efficient lighting projects; one in their gallery/atrium and the second in the egress and dining area of Casa de Balboa. The new lighting and control systems save MoPA thousands annually. MoPA also retrofitted the existing HVAC air handlers with more efficient motors and variable frequency drives. Learn more about energy efficiency at the Museum of Photographic Arts.
	The Reuben H. Fleet Science Center installs energy efficient lighting upgrades in the theater and lobby. Five of the original seven air handlers dating over forty years old are being replaced with state-of-the-art air handlers. Additional benefits will be derived through the installation of a single digital control system integrated to manage the entire building. Learn more about energy efficiency at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center.
	With the new light fixtures, the San Diego Art Institute: Museum of the Living Artist is no longer limited to having all the lights on or off. The lights are sectioned into 17 clusters, all of which can be independently controlled to highlight special exhibits and create more intensity during events.The use of true color LEDs reduces the cost of lighting fivefold. In addition, LEDs rival the old halogen lights in providing a true color spectrum, which is necessary in museum lighting.Learn more about energy efficiency at the San Diego Art Institute: Museum of the Living Artist.

	The San Diego Hall of Champions consolidates and virtualizes 7 computer servers into 2. The exisiting computer servers require a significant amount of energy to operate and remain cool. Because most servers only operate at about 5%-15% of their total load capacity, applications can be consolidated into a smaller number of servers using virtualization technology. In addition to saving energy, virtualization reduces hardware and maintenance costs. Learn more about energy efficiency at the San Diego Hall of Champions.
	The San Diego History Center's Director of Exhibitions, Nicholas Vega describes their gallary lighting retrofit: “The addition of the new LED lighting system will have an immediate impact on our exhibitions; artifacts will now be displayed in a brighter, crisper light without compromising the physical condition of the featured object.” Learn more about energy efficiency at the San Diego History Center.
	Learn more about energy efficiency at the San Diego Model Railroad Museum.
	The San Diego Museum of Art (SDMA) upgrades the existing HVAC with new insulated chilled water cross piping to air handlers for greater efficiency. Similarly to the San Diego Hall of Champions, SDMA consolidates and virtualizes 6 computer servers into 2. Learn more about energy efficiency at the San Diego Museum of Art.
	The San Diego Museum of Man installs 56 Light Emitting Diodes (LED) to replace existing 65 watt incandescent and par30 halogens lighting in the Gift Shop. The new lighting remains cool, lessening the air conditioning load and creating a comfortable environment for the employees and visitors. Learn more about energy efficiency at the San Diego Museum of Man.
	The San Diego Natural History Museum implements an ambitious lighting-efficiency upgrade in their exhibition galleries, replacing most of the existing 50-, 75- and 100-watt halogen lamp track fixtures with 20- and 39-watt CMH Serpentine track fixtures, reducing the number of lamps by more than half! Learn more about energy efficiency at the San Diego Natural History Museum.
	The historic Old Globe Theatre is part of the comprehensive server virtualization effort, consolidating and virtualizing 14 computer servers to 2. In addition, The Old Globe replaces a 30-year old HVAC unit with a water-cooled, screw compressor chiller that is 30% more efficient, saving $4,000 - $8,000 monthly. Learn more about energy efficiency at The Old Globe.
	Learn more about energy efficiency at the Timken Museum of Art.
	The WorldBeat Cultural Center completes two lighting upgrades, including improved efficiency lighting and fixtures and installation of Sulatube daylighting systems. These projects contributed to the WorldBeat Cultural Center achiving LEED^TM Silver Existing Buildings Operations & Mainenance in February 2012.
