Mr. Priolo has worked on a wide range of projects Recently Mr. Priolo managed a project for the Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center in Brooklyn that received an ARRA grant to upgrade their mechanical infrastructure including upgrading the building management system. The hospital was founded in 1930 and has undertaken significant additions and renovations since then. Designing the BMS upgrade required that his team perform extensive field surveys to identify the existing conditions and develop strategies to ensure that the new controls would deliver energy savings. As a result, the necessary mechanical repairs were included in the project as well as detailed control drawings and sequences of operation. In order to meet the grant schedule requirements the project was bid as two phases to meet the deadline.
