Trane honors Virginia Department of Forensic Science with energy award
Trane recently presented its Energy Efficiency Leader Award to the Virginia Department of Forensic Science (DFS) in Richmond, VA. Trane officials said Virginia DFS was chosen as the 2015 award recipient for sustainably improving the air quality within its Richmond, Norfolk, Roanoke, and Manassas facilities, and for also helping to increase employee comfort and productivity while reducing the state’s environmental impact.
DFS leaders expect that the improvements, when completed later this year, will reduce energy consumption by over 40% and save more than $1 million of taxpayer dollars in annual energy and operating costs. The project also supports Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s 2014 Virginia Energy Plan on reducing energy consumption in state buildings and his Executive Order 31 which directs state agencies to reduce their electricity consumption in state buildings by 15% by 2017.
