Project Snapshot

Nationwide Children’s Hospital Columbus, Ohio Application/Industry: Hospital Measures Implemented: Variable Frequency Drives Annual Energy Savings: 255,424 kWh Project Incentives: $60,368 Payback Period with Incentive: 1.2 years Testimonial: “Data Centers typically consume outrageous amounts of energy and we are always looking at ways of lowering the cost of operations and becoming more efficient. One

  • f the easiest, most cost effective ways for us to do that was to install VSDs on each CRAC
  • unit. With the help of AEP Ohio we were able to fully realize our energy saving potential. AEP

Ohio’s thorough data collection process allowed us to get a detailed look at the energy being consumed before and after the upgrades.”
