HUNTERDON DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER

The facility houses approximately 600 developmentally challenged individuals and is manned 24/7.

Two Trane absorption chillers and one cooling tower were replaced with an energy efficient electric chiller system powered by the cogeneration plant at the neighboring Edna Mahon Correctional Facility.

M&E compared nine different chiller approaches to the existing system and performed a design for two 500 ton air-cooled chillers, which resulted in a annual savings of $225,823 representing a 49% savings in operating costs.
