Project Highlight. Ashland Community & Technical College
 In 2007, Paladin began commissioning Ashland Community and Technical College's East Park, Phase II project located at their Greenup, KY campus. The project is a 136,000 sq. ft. $27,000,000 addition to an existing facility. Programming for the facility includes: classrooms, welding laboratories, culinary arts laboratories, chemistry and science laboratories, computer laboratories, a bookstore, a cafeteria, instructor offices, student administration offices, and circulation spaces. Paladin's scope of services included Pre-Construction though Post-Acceptance Phase services. Currently, the project is in the Acceptance Phase. Systems commissioned include: foodservice equipment, conveying, plumbing, mechanical, lighting, emergency power, and electronic safety and security systems.
Pre-Construction services involved coordinating project documents with commissioning requirements. During Construction, Paladin lead Commissioning Team meetings, reviewed submittals, verified installation of commissioned equipment, attended manufacturer's start-up, reviewed testing and balancing work, verified resolution of issues tracking log items, and began functional testing. Functional testing continued into the Acceptance Phase in addition to owner training. |
"smart" electric meters are being installed in commercial buildings, electric utilities are gathering - and starting to provide - boatloads of meter data showing usage in 15-, 30- or 60-minute intervals. The goal is to help facility managers better manage their power consumption and peak demand. But many facility managers are scratching their heads when it comes to converting that data into money-saving action. To achieve those ends, some are now using real-time Web-based software to digest and portray that information in ways that lead directly to their bottom lines. <<Click
