Variable-Refrigerant-Flow Technology Helps College Achieve LEED Silver Certification - Garners seven of the 39 LEED-NC points earned

摘要

Built in 1885, Archdale Hall is the oldest building on the campus of the third-oldest coeducational college in the United States, Guilford College in Greensboro, N.C. For 80 years, it served as a men's dormitory before being converted to faculty offices. Last renovated during the 1950s, it inspired frequent complaints about cooling and heating discomfort, noise, and indoor-air quality (IAQ) and was highly energy-inefficient.
