New Mexico Best of 2007/Jefferson Green @ the Journal Center

摘要

The design-build, three-story building achieved LEED gold certification in part due to its highly efficient mechanical systems. The 85,000 sq ft building in Albuquerque uses 30 percent less water and 45 percent less energy than typical structures. Two Trane Acer 44,000 cfm roof-top units utilize both direct expansion and evaporative cooling, and also allows for the option for cooling with just the natural, outside air. The underfloor ducts supply air via a raised floor with adjustable floor diffusers. With the addition of operable windows, office workers will be able to customize their individual environments.
