Grander Capital Partners (GCP) is a leading real estate investment and operating company in theNorth East and Mid-Atlantic regions with over 3million square feet of owned, managed, and operated commercial property. A large, historically significant building in their portfolio located in Baltimore’s center city business district suffered from chronic excessive energy consumption. Despite multiple attempts to correct this situation, consumption continued to trend above expectations despite fluctuations in tenant complement/occupancy.

Our team put together a plan and conducted a detailed evaluation of all building systems and their operation. This led to a much-needed change in the operation of the condenser water loop. Utilizing a local utility incentive program, we were able to offset the costs associated with implementing the necessary corrective action. This resulted in the substantial reduction of ongoing operating expenses saving the owner more than 500,000 kWh per year and approximately $60,000 in annual operating expense.

Grander Capital Partners collaborated with MD Energy Advisors to tackle persistent overconsumption at a landmark downtown Baltimore property. By optimizing building systems and leveraging utility incentives, they implemented a low-cost tune-up—saving over 500,000 kWh and $60,000 annually, with a payback period under four months.
