Roxborough Memorial Hospital

Overview

Roxborough Memorial Hospital is a 347,961-square-foot hospital campus in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, consisting of five buildings: the main hospital building, the school of nursing, a medical office building, a boiler house, and an auditorium. The project pursued ENERGY STAR® for Existing Buildings Certification to comply with the City of Philadelphia’s Building Energy Performance Program (BEPP), including completion of the High-Performance Building Worksheet.

Services included:

• ENERGY STAR® benchmarking
• ENERGY STAR® certification application and project submission
• On-site performance testing, including:
  • Indoor air quality (CO₂)
  • Temperature and relative humidity
  • Lighting levels
• Completion of the High-Performance Building Worksheet for Philadelphia BEPP compliance

ReVireo analyzed the campus’s complex mechanical systems, including gas boilers, chillers, steam heat exchangers, and a building management system (BMS), and documented how these systems directly contribute to energy efficiency to meet ENERGY STAR® standards. The campus achieved ENERGY STAR® certification which enabled it to comply with Philadelphia BEPP requirements through the performance-based compliance pathway, in lieu of a whole building tune up with additional inspections and testing.
