Alberici Constructors' new LEED Platinum certified headquarters is the result of transforming a boxy, 50-year-old, metal-covered industrial building into an impressive office structure. The facility uses 60 percent less energy than a comparable building with conventional systems. This project was also named Commercial Project of the Year by Midwest Construction News in its "Best of 2005" awards. HEA's commissioning services satisfied EA Prerequisite 1 and EA Credit 3 of the LEED Rating System.
Several elements were incorporated to achieve the enviable savings, the most dramatic of which is a wind turbine that has become a landmark for motorists. Others include an HVAC system that combines an efficient under-floor air distribution and natural ventilation; solar panels that use solar energy to heat water; efficient boilers and chillers; and location of the central utility plant in the parking garage.
