Features

In line with TLC’s pledge to the AIA 2030 Commitment, the overall building design achieves a calculated Energy Use Intensity (EUI) of 25 kBtu/sf/year. An average building of this type has an EUI of 65, thus the team exceeded the goal of a 60% reduction. We engineered the center to operate efficiently; the design achieved a lighting power density that was just 80% of that allowed by ASHRAE 90.1-2007, while being well-lit.
