“Clone” schools?
Same designers… Same general
contractor… Same specs…
Different results!

Limitations:Gas usage not yet clear
1st year data is incompleteCommissioning during part of first year
Need 2‐3 years of data for it to be meaningful

Lessons Learned:4‐pipe system = good acoustic control
Water‐cooled chiller boosts energy savings
Fast track process complicates commissioning review
Waiting to see impact of Aircuity system
Design‐build pros & cons:
Good team might exceed performance goals while meeting budget
Difficult to work with multiple demands: LEED goal, energy savings goal, and detailed system requirements
