SUSTAINABILITY
25% projected energy savings below ASHRAE 90.1 2007 baseline
The central sustainability challenge for the Enzi project is energy usage, primarily driven by the mechanical exhaust requirements needed to maintain a healthy working laboratory environment. At the core of the building’s approach to sustainability is an effort to reduce this energy usage. Through a combination of strategies, the building is projected to achieve energy savings amounting to 25% below the ASHRAE 90.1 2007 baseline established by LEED 2009. In addition to energy reduction, the building incorporates an array of other sustainability strategies in areas such as water efficiency, material choices and indoor environmental quality. The project is designed to LEED Silver certification under LEED 2009 criteria.
