Military Barracks, Southeast USA
This retrofit of an Army barracks building involved pump changeouts for the cooling systems in one building, while an identical building remained unchanged. Results were an 88% savings in energy consumption, more efficient chiller operation, and a 0.66 ton reduction in CO2 emissions.
The Wilo Stratos pump was chosen as an example of a pump utilizing ECM (electronically commutated motor) technology, which is able to realize up to 80% energy savings compared to conventional constant speed pumps. Wilo is the industry innovator and leading supplier of this technology, having premiered the technology at the ISH Exhibition in Frankfurt in 2001.
