The Iowa Utilities Board and Office of Consumer
Advocate in Des Moines is home to two agencies that
govern state utilities, so it is fitting that the building be
energy efficient and a symbol of the state's sustainable
stewardship. Design decisions were driven by energyefficiency and integrated design-from the geothermal
system to the height of the office furniture.
Located within the State of Iowa Capitol Complex,
the 44,700 ft2 (4153 m2) IUB/OCA is an infill development on a 6 acre (2.4 ha) site of a former landfill. The
IUB/OCA uses the building to conduct its business and
also as an education tool for energy-saving technologies and increased efficiency and health in the built
environment.
Scott Bowman, P.E., is retired from KJWW Engineering Consultants where he was project executive for the IUB/OCA project. He is owner
of Integrated Design + Energy Advisors in Johnston, Iowa. Carey Nagle is project manager/project architect at BNIM in Des Moines, Iowa.
