Award Team• Architect: Mahlum• Mechanical Engineering: Mazzetti• Energy Consulting: Cobalt & UW IDLEnergy Details• Energy Goal: 100 KBtu/SF Year • One-year operational energy use
below 80 kBtu/SF Year (252 kWh/SM)
Energy Strategies
• Hybrid systems with appropriate HVAC for different functional areas:
• Non-Conditioned
• Natural Ventilation & Operable Windows (in patient rooms!)
• 2-Pipe and 4-Pipe Fan Coil Units
• VAV
• Ground coupled heat pump plant
• Efficient heat recovery• Occupancy sensors that turn
systems down when rooms are not in use

There’s more work to do
• Improve codes – base on science and/or measured air quality• Improve understanding of medical equipment and the loads it
imposes• Improve efficiency of all equipment in hospitals• Better controls – turn off lights and equipment when not needed• Design for adaptability – All-electric as a transition strategy
