This new laboratory and research based Science & Technology Center is LEED Gold Rated. The advanced facility includes a sophisticated mechanical system design comprised of variable air volume HVAC systems and fume hoods, and a run-around-loop heat recovery system. This facility was designed and tested to BSL-2 standards.
Extensive commissioning has resulted in energy savings projected to be almost 50% greater than a typical laboratory building due to careful selection and design of the HVAC system, electric lighting system and reliance on daylighting. In 2004 this facility was designated as a Department of Energy (DOE) Federal Energy Saver Showcase Facility. Additional efficiency improvements included zoned carbon dioxide sensors, plate and frame exchanger heat recovery and a variable frequency drive chiller.
