Accord- ing to Vanderweill Engineers Associate principal Gregory Sibley , “The building will incorporate high efficiency heating, cooling and lighting systems that will significantly reduce the energy use. The en- tire building will be managed by the DDC (Direct Digital Control)-controlled Building Energy Management System, which will optimize the energy use based on occupancy, air quality, natural lighting levels and other variable factors. The college’s facility management teamwill be able to control the building’s systems remotely, from the campuses’ central control room.” ■
