    Bernhard recently announced the successful completion of the Midtown Lane Office project in Bentonville, Arkansas. Our commitment to innovative building solutions harmonizing artistic form with operational functionality is highlighted throughout the project. Bernhard teams were responsible for the Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Fire Protection (MEPFP) design and construction administration, as well as the lighting design for the project. Our experts’ ability to refine the balance between artistic form and function positioned Bernhard to bring the Midtown Lane Office vision to life. Our team’s innovative approach ensured the building’s infrastructure was efficient and seamlessly integrated with its architectural design. #Engineering #design #sustainability Read More: https://lnkd.in/gK_AzUri

    In April, Bernhard and Hackensack Meridian Health announced a groundbreaking 30-year Energy-as-a-Service partnership. Hackensack Meridian Health is set to own the largest solar and battery energy storage system of any not-for-profit healthcare provider in the U.S., thanks to this pioneering collaboration. Nearly 98 percent of the project scope is solar and battery storage, including 50,000 solar panels manufactured in the USA. The agreement encompasses $134 million in infrastructure improvements, a 10 percent reduction in carbon emissions, a 25 percent decrease in purchased electricity, and 33 percent guaranteed energy savings. This project solidifies Hackensack Meridian Health‘s dedication to remaining the largest, most comprehensive, and truly integrated healthcare network in New Jersey, offering innovative research, life-enhancing care, and a complete range of medical services. #sustainability #energy #healthcare

    Jim Crockett, Jaron Peck, and Gregory Jimmie are participating in a webinar on July 10th moderated by John Avina. The webinar focuses on their novel approach to maintaining chiller efficiency. New advancements in technology give chiller plant owners and operators the ability to monitor their chilled water systems, find equipment failures, or detect changes in efficiency that historically would only have been detectable by a technician conducting a detailed on-site assessment. Bernhard recently had the opportunity to investigate and learn more about chiller failures by watching and gathering data from a large chiller fleet for 3 years. When changes in efficiency were observed, Bernhard teams investigated their root cause, made necessary repairs, and quantified the energy penalty avoided by fixing the problem. Join us July 10th to learn more!

    A Novel Approach to Maintaining Chiller Efficiency:  Lessons Learned from Monitoring 78 Chillers   Chillers are often the largest energy consuming pieces of equipment in large buildings. But over time they become less and less efficient. Why is that? I don’t know how many of us have asked that question. I bet not enough of us. I didn’t. I just thought chillers degraded over time. That is what I used to think anyways, until I read an article in International Journal of Energy Management by Jim Crockett, Gregory Jimmie and Jaron Peck at Bernhard. The team at Bernhard studied 78 chillers at several hospitals and found that chiller efficiency degrades in step changes, not gradually. The events that lead to the degradation are fixable, so that, if you monitor your chillers and isolate the problems that arise, you can maintain your chillers working at a high efficiency. I don’t want to tell you more. You should listen to the crew explain what they did, what problems cause chillers to become less efficient, how they fixed the problems and the result. Hopefully they will convince you to change the way you approach chiller plants. Maybe you don’t always need to replace chillers. Maybe a few tweaks will do the job. I know for the occasional failing M&V guarantee, this could be a "get out of jail free" card.   This is such a different approach to chillers. I found it fascinating, genius really, and so obvious in retrospect. I would have never figured it out.    Please join us on Wednesday, July 10 at 10 AM Pacific to hear Jim and his crew teach us their novel approach.
