In 1999, a master energy services agreement (MESA) was executed
between CEPS and Jefferson Health System. The MESA spelled
out how energy projects were to be evaluated, as well
as other contractual terms. The next step was to perform
preliminary energy audits of the facilities. Once measures
were identified, the System then decided which measures
were to be studied in detail.
The SCPD needed an energy/facilities management expert to
identify and implement upgrades that would reduce annual
utility and maintenance expenses for its headquarters.
Faced with increasing energy costs at its downtown Philadelphia
campus, Thomas Jefferson University selected Constellation
Energy's Projects & Services Group (CEPS) to identify,
coordinate and implement facility improvements that would
significantly reduce energy expenses.
In an effort to reduce operating costs and improve the learning
environment for its students, the university needed to
upgrade its energy systems in a way that that would not
require an initial project investment.
