In addition to providing the MEP engineering services, 2RW designed many of the sustainable features that contributed to the LEED Platinum Certification. Specifically, the standing column well (SCW) ground source heat pump system, which helped to minimize the building operating and maintenance costs by reducing energy consumption. Additional energy saving features include automatic low-flow water fixtures which reduce wastewater by 64%; daylighting to 98% of the occupied spaces; and a roof-fitted solar thermal system to heat domestic water.

2RW created energy models to estimate the expected energy savings using a code-compliant building meeting the requirements of ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004 as a base. The energy model is used to assess the cumulative effect of all of the energy efficient design strategies of the project based on typical weather data and building usage.

Based on the energy modeling, there is an estimated 58% annual energy cost savings which includes heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, and domestic hot water savings.
