It's in the details: engineering for low cost and high efficiency.

Author(s) : STEIN J., TAYLOR S. T.

Type of article: Article, Case study

Summary

This paper deals with a building completed in 2002. It is 350 000 ft2 (32 515 m2), four stories tall, and includes offices, an atrium, cafeteria, child care centre, and auditorium. There is nothing particularly "sexy" about the mechanical system - no thermal storage tanks or ground-coupled heat rejection. Yes, it has many state-of-the-art features such as underfloor air distribution and a primary-only, variable flow, chilled water plant, but this is not why EAII earned an ASHRAE Technology Award.
