Dome-Tech's retro-commissioning and recalibration program led to Schering-Plough
realizing annual savings of $450,000.
Project Scope
Dome-Tech used a rigorous retro-commissioning process to identify variances between the design
energy baseline and the actual performance of a select area of a Schering-Plough laboratory facility. The
area contained a lab block with 95 labs and 250 chemical fume hoods, as well as an office block. Dome-
Tech identified opportunities for minimizing energy consumption and provided a detailed protocol to
ensure sustainability.
Project Summary
Dome-Tech's retro commissioning of the laboratory facility identified major discrepancies with the
calibration of the Building Automation Systems' (BAS) readings for temperature, airflow and static
pressure. They also identified opportunities to improve scheduling. To address these issues, Dome-
Tech developed several reset strategies, implemented a recalibration program, and adjusted the Air
Handling Unit (AHU) operating schedules to more accurately reflect building occupancy.

Monitoring & Verifying Energy Savings
By reprogramming the BAS, Dome-Tech and Schering-Plough were able to see immediate results in
reduced energy consumption during the off hours. Lower utility bills confirmed the savings.
Distinguishing Value
Dome-Tech develops good customer relationships. Because of their good faith history, innovative
solutions during project discovery are expected and welcomed rather than challenged. Dome-Tech
displays expertise that builds trust with the customer and facilitates project implementation. Dome-Tech
became a valued resource to the team in resolving technical issues, planning work, and providing an
objective process to capture the savings.
