MEP engineering for this project incorporated a range of sustainable systems that contributed to LEED Platinum certification, including a ground source heat pump system, solar thermal domestic water heating, advanced pool treatment and energy recovery systems, and a building automation system. Water-saving strategies and daylighting were also integrated to reduce resource use and enhance building performance. Energy modeling performed during design projected approximately 58% annual energy cost savings compared to a code-compliant baseline, demonstrating the impact of the coordinated high-efficiency design approach.
2RW provided MEP engineering services, which included a variety of sustainable features that contributed to the LEED Platinum Certification:
2RW also created energy models to estimate the expected energy savings compared to a code-compliant building meeting the requirements of ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004 as a base. The energy model was used to assess the cumulative effect of all of the energy-efficient design strategies based on typical weather data
and building usage.
Estimated 58% annual energy cost savings.
