SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES |
The Second & State Building is currently being reviewed for a LEED V3.0 Silver Rating. A closed loop geothermal system for heating and cooling is the headline sustainability feature. Space constraints in the urban location precluded a typical field of geothermal wells, prompting the design team to locate the fluid loops alongside the spiral reinforcement cages of the foundation caissons. This approach, while more common in Europe, is used infrequently in the United States, making the system somewhat novel. Energy efficiency is substantially enhanced by an integrated building control system for HVAC and lighting functions. Other features include high efficiency glazing, LED accent lighting, high efficiency plumbing fixtures, and a preference for local and recycled materials, including brick for the façade. |
