About 353 North Clark

With its vibrant 'green' roofs, gorgeous landscaping fed by harvested rainwater, glittering thermal-glass curtain walls, expansive sunlit interiors and state-of-the-art, high-efficiency infrastructure, 353 North Clark has been one of Chicago's most environmentally advanced structures since it opened in 2009. 353 North Clark currently holds a LEED Gold certification and continues to promote sustainability.

 

Overview

As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability, the property was looking to further increase its operational and energy efficiency.

The Solution

Aero began monitoring-based commissioning at 353 N Clark in 2017 through the ComEd Energy efficiency program. With the help of the property team, Aero originally implemented 12 low-cost energy conservation measures (ECMs) that proved large energy savings.Because of the resounding success, the building then chose to continue monitoring-based commissioning through an ongoing contract.

Recently, during a controls upgrade at the building, hundreds of fan-powered boxes became unscheduled. Aero was able to catch and fix this error and was able to verify the 4th largest energy conservation measure in the energy efficiency program's history 

 

12 Energy Conservation Measures produced an ROI of less than 2 months.

The Results

Within the project's original scope, Aero verified over 2.68 million kWh in energy savings. An additional 1.93 million kWh was verified during the ongoing phase, saving the building over $370,000 in ANNUAL utility costs. Aero continues to monitor the building for ECMs and to ensure that previous energy conservation measures remain in place.
