The University of Florida provided extensive upgrades to mechanical, water, and lighting systems using a energy savings contract and drastically improved efficiencies in its student union. They did so, and added 100,000 square feet of space, while keeping the existing building open to meet student needs.
Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) is a nonprofit dedicated to transforming global energy use to create a clean, prosperous, and secure low-carbon future. Therefore, when RMI needed a new office and convening center for 50 employees in the mountain community of Basalt, Colo., they seized the opportunity to practice what they preached with a state-of-the-art building that achieved an unprecedented level of integration, automation, and performance.
Guaranteeing the actual energy use of a newly constructed building with severe financial penalties on the line is a much more significant challenge — one that few teams pursue.
