FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As commercial property owners grapple with high operating costs, Hill York – one of Florida's oldest and largest air conditioning companies -- is launching a new Performance Management Division and introducing Hygreen (Hill York Green) technology solutions to reduce energy consumption in new and existing buildings. "Since 50 percent of the cost of owning a building is directly associated with operating costs, energy efficiency is critical in meeting financial objectives," said Jeff Phillabaum, president, Hill York. "By achieving ongoing peak performance of HVAC systems, owners can reduce energy use by 10 to 15 percent," he said. "Hill York has strategically invested in the research, training and technology to meet the increasing demand for green building and environmental energy conservation solutions." With annual revenues of $84 million, Hill York delivers a continuum of design, construction, service, maintenance and replacement of HVAC systems for complex facilities. Hill York's new Performance Management Division and Hygreen solutions address the "next wave" of energy saving opportunities for schools, hospitals, life science research labs and other commercial facilities. "Building a 'green' structure is not enough – it has to run green," Phillabaum explained. "Hill York's Building Oversight Management team fine tunes systems, capitalizing on energy management systems that continually monitor and analyze energy usage in buildings," he added.
