PROJECT SUMMARY:

The Interchurch Center is a 604,557 square-foot high rise building located in New York City that is home to more than seventy community development, educational, intercultural, and religious organizations. The building, which has a rich history dating back to the 1950’s, when President Dwight D. Eisenhower laid the first cornerstone, needed a comprehensive lighting upgrade and full replacement of its dated and nearly obsolete building automation system.

PHASE ONE – LED LIGHTING UPGRADE

IoEnergy replaced approximately 10,000 fixtures throughout the 19-story building. The upgrade improved the general aesthetic, while also updating the lighting technology and delivering nearly $585K in annual energy and maintenance savings.

PHASE TWO – BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEM UPGRADE

IoEnergy also performed a total replacement of the Interchurch Center’s building automation system. The incredibly complex project required significant engineering and research into all of the building’s processes and operations, including thousands of building management control points. IoEnergy collaborated with the BAS engineering personnel, facility managers and c-level decision makers to address all functional needs, while also meeting energy savings and project financing objectives. The new BAS, built upon flexible, brand agnostic technology, is designed to evolve over time. Further, it replaced an outdated, propriety system that was incompatible with many of the latest developments in BAS tech and could only be serviced and updated by the proprietary developer.
