Project Management Consulting – Energy Efficiency Upgrades

METRO Transit Authority Energy Efficiency Upgrades – Houston, TX

Modolith Structures

Guiding Sustainability Forward

As part of METRO Transit Authority’s strategic push toward sustainability and reduced operational costs, Modolith was engaged as a project management consultant to support a sweeping set of energy efficiency upgrades across Houston-based transit facilities. Working alongside the design-build firm, we oversaw the implementation of key infrastructure improvements designed to cut energy waste, modernize outdated systems, and future-proof the organization’s utility performance.

Scope of Work

Energy Optimization with Multidisciplinary Integration

This ambitious upgrade project included a series of interrelated system enhancements. Modolith played a central role in ensuring each upgrade was executed seamlessly, safely, and within defined performance metrics. Our oversight extended across the following categories:
Legacy chillers were swapped with high-efficiency models engineered to lower power consumption and improve reliability across cooling infrastructure.
Worn and inefficient cooling towers were restored and modernized to improve heat rejection capacity and lower operational load.
A modernized building automation system was deployed to allow real-time energy monitoring, load balancing, and environmental control.
Old lighting systems were replaced with LED solutions throughout facilities, reducing electrical draw while enhancing visual quality.
High-efficiency fixtures and water-saving systems were introduced, aligning with both sustainability goals and cost reduction.
Modifications to air handling units improved HVAC response times, indoor air quality, and equipment longevity.
