Franciscan Health Central Region

Franciscan Health engaged HEAPY as a part of the AES Indiana’s Retro-Commissioning (RCx) Program. The combined annual electricity savings represents 5.4% of the facility’s total electricity usage. The RCx Program outperformed Franciscan Health’s study goal by 55% and paid for 81% of the implementation costs.

RCx measures to optimize systems included:

• AHU Optimization
• Zone-Level Scheduling
• Economizer Setpoint Adjustments
• Static Pressure Reset
• Discharge Air Temperature Reset
• Central Plant Optimization
• Condensed Water Reset

At the Mooresville, Carmel, and Indianapolis inpatient hospitals, HEAPY engaged Franciscan Health throughout the process to ensure critical hospital functions remain a top priority, while improving overall building performance, improving patient and staff comfort, and maintaining consistency with compliance standards.
