General Description
This client required a new entry/visitor center for their remote campus and wanted to go sustainable. This client turned to HAWA, BHDP and Messer Construction to design and construct a Net Zero Energy Building. The 2,000-square-foot facility incorporates a geo-exchange heat pump system, a photovoltaic array, a green roof and an energy-monitoring dashboard. Thanks in part to our engineers’ design work, this project earned LEED Gold status.
Key Features
- Two 13-kW photovoltaic solar arrays
- Geo-exchange heat pump system
- Lighting controls with daylight harvesting and “vacancy” control rather than occupancy control
- Energy-monitoring dashboard system
Our Role
HAWA designed the MEP systems to support the building and adjacent guardhouse, including site electrical distribution and campus distribution of voice, data, paging and security systems on this project.
