Features

TLC used energy modeling to make sure that the building and its systems were efficient and followed LEED guidelines. The projected percentage of energy-use reduction compared with the ASHRAE 90.1 baseline is 25% and the water-use reduction compared with the ASHRAE 90.1 baseline is 31%. LEED principles were used to increase energy efficiency on plumbing, HVAC equipment, LED lighting and lighting control. Efficient glazing and chilled beam systems were presented to UCF and were selected by them to reach their energy goals.
