Emory Hill constructed the Delaware Tech Energy House , a teaching facil- ity built entirely with the latest “green” technologies, products and energy- efficient systems, which was recently awarded LEED Platinum Certification. The facility houses classrooms and a lab to give students the opportunity to learn first-hand how to develop or implement various green technologies and be better prepared to find employment in this field.
Hartz Mountain Ind. Solar Farm, Hamilton NJ This project, combined with rooftop solar arrays on 13 of their commercial and retail buildings, brings Hartz’s total solar generating capacity to 17 MW -- providing clean electricity to their tenants and to NJ’s energy grid.

The Walters Group, developer of Stafford Park, has broken ground on Stafford Preserve, a luxury rental com- munity, consisting of 18 three-story buildings, totaling 216 units. The energy-efficient complex will provide one- and two-bedroom garden-style apartments and two-bedroom townhouses. Each apartment will include a washer and dryer, fully equipped kitchen, window coverings and ceiling fans in the master bedroom. Some units will have lofts. Services and facilities onsite will include a community clubhouse with state-of-the-art fitness center, resort-style pool, children’s playroom, tot-lot playground, tennis and basketball courts, picnic pavilion, and barbeque area.
This project consists of a complete renovation of former warehouse and production space into a new corpo- rate headquarters. A portion of the building will be jacked up to accommodate a second floor. Project is being staged to allow for the building to be fully functional throughout the renovation process. The building is seek- ing to earn a LEED Silver certification. As part of the LEED process, a variety of HVAC system approaches were modeled and subjected to a life-cycle cost analysis to determine the best approach for the new building. An Integrated Automation System will monitor and control the HVAC, lighting, and security/access control systems. M&E Engineers has been working very closely with NK Architects on this extraordinary project.
