CCAC Building Solutions, a leader in commercial HVAC that provides service throughout the state of North Carolina, recently partnered with YWCA’s Gateway Sports and Wellness Center to provide members with the optimal experience while visiting their 90,000-square feet fitness center and meeting spaces.
As a result of this partnership, the YWCA has been able to make several operational improvements including replacing two of its major HVAC units and installing a new control system. For long-term energy efficiency, preventative maintenance will be performed every quarter to extend the life of the equipment, provide comfort to YWCA members and reduce energy costs.
“The situation we were faced with at the Gateway was daunting, to say the least. I couldn’t be more pleased with the incredible work CCAC Building Solutions has done for us with our HVAC system, as well as the way their team operates with our team,” said Christy Respess, CEO of the YWCA. “This has made a significant difference for us and where we are today. This has been noticed by the employees, the members, partner organizations, and the clients we serve daily in our programs. We truly value this partnership.”
In addition to the partnership with CCAC, the recent upgrades to the HVAC system at the YWCA’s Gateway Center were made possible as a result of a grant from the Reynolds American Foundation and additional financial resources from the Smart Saver Incentive Program through Duke Energy. By investing in highly energy-efficient equipment, and tuning-up existing equipment, businesses can improve their bottom line by reducing energy consumption. These companies will contribute to a greener environment by reducing the amount of natural resources needed to keep businesses running.
