• High efficiency packaged rooftop units were utilized to condition the renovated space.  Units serving multiple zones were variable volume type to provide zone level temperature control.

• Demand control ventilation using carbon dioxide sensors were used to minimize outside air load on the heating and cooling systems.

• Low flow plumbing fixtures were utilized to reduce water consumption.

• An automatic sprinkler system was added to serve the entire building.

• A building automation system controls the HVAC systems and provides continual diagnostic feedback to the facilities office.
