A case study of the overview, process, and results of the re-tuning that was conducted in a building in Arlington, Virginia by Vornado Realty Trust in October 2012. Re-tuning provided the facilities management team with the ability to identify and understand building scheduling opportunities that drove significant, low-cost energy savings. Five measures were conducted, many of which pertained to the HVAC system.

Re-tuning focuses on a number of commonly occurring operational problems in buildings. These guides, through examples, provide details on how to detect good (normal) and bad (abnormal) operations. The purpose of the central utility plant (CUP) heating control guide is to show, through
examples of good and bad operations, how CUP heating can be efficiently controlled. This guide will focus on hot water boilers and their operations
Re-tuning focuses on a number of commonly occurring operational problems in buildings. These guides, through examples, provide details on how to detect good (normal) and bad (abnormal) operations. The purpose of the air-handling unit (AHU) minimum outdoor-air operation control guide is to show, through examples of good and bad operations, how AHU outdoor-air operations can be efficiently controlled.
Re-tuning focuses on a number of commonly occurring operational problems in buildings. These guides, through examples, provide details on how to detect good (normal) and bad (abnormal) operations. The purpose of the air-handling unit (AHU) heating and cooling control guide is to show, through examples of good and bad operations, how AHU heating and cooling can be efficiently controlled.
Re-tuning focuses on a number of commonly occurring operational problems in buildings. These guides, through examples, provide details on how to detect good (normal) and bad (abnormal) operations. The purpose of the air-side economizer control guide is to show, through use of examples of good and bad operation, how air-side economizers should be utilized and efficiently controlled. An air-side economizer is a duct/damper arrangement in an air-handling unit (AHU) along with automatic controls that allow an AHU to use outdoor-air to reduce or eliminate the need for mechanical cooling.

The purpose of the air-handling unit (AHU) static pressure control guide is to show, through examples of good and bad operations, how the static pressure can be efficiently controlled.
Re-tuning focuses on a number of commonly occurring operational problems in buildings. These guides, through examples, provide details on how to detect good (normal) and bad (abnormal) operations. The purpose of the air handling unit (AHU) discharge-air temperature control guide is to show, through use of examples of good and bad operations, how the discharge-air temperature can be efficiently controlled.
Re-tuning focuses on a number of commonly occurring operational problems in buildings. These guides, through examples, provide details on how to detect good (normal) and bad (abnormal) operations. The purpose of the zone heating and cooling control guide is to show, through use of examples of good and bad operations, how the heating and cooling at the zone level can be efficiently controlled.
The Fire Station Efficiency Solutions Package aims to assist municipalities nationwide to reduce carbon footprints, lower utility bills, and increase resiliency by selecting improvements that will reduce energy and water use in existing buildings by at least 20%. This toolkit is a product of a collaboration between the City of Atlanta and Southface Energy Institute. Through this solutions package, municipalities and fire departments will be equipped to plan and implement individual and portfolio-level upgrades.
