Sustainability Features
Construction
Construction of the Water Bottling Facility was based on a design bid build delivery method. Because of the size of the company, the general design of the facility had already been decided with some adaptations made to create a higher LEED score. The construction schedule was exceedingly fast, competing the over 500,000 square foot building in 7 months.
Electrical
The Water Bottling Facility receives its electricity from the local electric company. It is equipped with five 12.47 kV transformers as well as four 480kV switchgears and one 4160kV switchgear.
Lighting
Lighting levels must reach 50 footcandles in the production areas and 35 in the warehouse of the Water Bottling Facility. Within the warehouse and office spaces vacancy sensors are used to reduce energy use when spaces are not occupied.
Mechanical
The Water Bottling Facility’s mechanical system is made up of six roof top air-handling units. Each of these units is assigned to one of the five conditioned areas of the facility. Cooling is provided by cooling towers in conjunction with ammonia chillers, while heating is provided by gas, electric, or a combination for each of the units. 17 VAV terminal units provide the airflow to the offices spaces. The production space is conditioned with direct ducting to the space. The warehouse space is ventilated with 8 make up air handling units and supply fans.
Structural
The structural system of the Water Bottling Facility is acknowledges live loads of 27 psf for the roof as well as 250 psf for the quality Assurance mezzanine. Wind loads are based on a basic wind speed of 90 mph with an importance factor of 1. The building has an exposure category C and an internal pressure coefficient of +/- 1.08. Snow loads for the facility’s ground snow load are 30 psf while the flat roof snow load is 27 psf. The Water Bottling Facility is in seismic group I.
Fire Protection
A foam suppression system is used in the flavor room of the Water Bottling Facility. All other spaces are equipped with a water suppression system.
Telecommunication
The Water Bottling Company has its own telecommunications company which has servers connected in Arizona and Texas.
