Tropicana Field
- Enhanced management and operational controls with their Building Automation System
- Computer now automatically controls all fans based on temperature and humidity
- System previously ran at either 100% or was off. Now it can run at 50%
MetLife Stadium
- Focused on improving operational controls and systems to maximize energy efficiency, such as controls for:
- Lighting (stadium and parking lots)
- Condenser water system
- Air handling units
Target Field
- Maximized the Building Automation System
- Replaced lighting systems with LED or fluorescents
- Re-commissioned HVAC systems
- Implemented a “winterization” mode to shut off unnecessary equipment during the off-season.
Nationals Park
