Federal Medical and Laboratory Facility (Maryland)

With an annual operating budget of more than $50 billion, the federal complex of clinical and health research facilities employs more than 3,000 clinicians and some 35,000 researchers — making it the world standard for care and innovation.

TEN has been engaged in a 25-month energy upgrade project designed to meet federal energy conservation and decarbonization mandates. Federal entities will invest $35.2 million and return an estimated $2.6 million in annual savings over a 17-year total project duration. TEN completed an investment grade audit (IGA) that identified and quantified ECMs.

TEN’s project team to deliver:

Complete LED Lighting upgrades in four buildings.

46,000 total fixture upgrades

Upgrade aging and failed steam condensate return units.

Install 33 condensate return units with dual pumps for redundancy.

Replace 21 chilled water or hot water flow meters.
