Energy Efficiency Measures

• Envelope inspections
• Clerestory glazing
• 18% more efficient thermal barrier than prescribed by ASHRAE 90.1-2007
• Optimized occupancy schedules, HVAC system zoning, and part load HVAC system efficiency
• Improved ventilation efficiencies
• Low air return
• Demand Control Ventilation
• Bi-Polar Ionization which dramatically improves indoor air quality while significantly reducing the requirement for outside air thus reducing the energy associated with mechanically conditioning that air
• Very limited use of incandescent lighting and utilization of LED site lighting
