"The JLL team’s recommendations provided us with a way to avoid costly modifications to the existing building infrastructure. Our property managers continue to collaborate with JLL as a trusted advisor through implementation.”

The JLL approach
JLL’s Sustainability Consulting team carried out an energy audit and reviewed existing operations, during which they identified some critical reporting corrections. The building had three substantial server rooms that weren't mentioned in the energy reporting. This led to the building receiving a lower score because it was benchmarked entirely against office buildings, rather than correctly separately reporting the data rooms. In addition, by reporting vehicle charging energy separately, the score improved further.
The team also recommended a series of low- and no-cost energy saving measures with a high return on investment. These included HVAC equipment scheduling, lighting upgrades, artificial intelligence chiller plant optimization controls and additional opportunities to improve inefficient building transformers.
