High Performing Buildings - Winter 2008 - (Page 8) north-south orientation to maximize daylighting, the building has an arc footprint approximately 400 ft in length and 62 ft in width. The thin 62 ft width means that no part of the floor is more than 30 ft from a window. To further project light into the building, light shades were used on the south side. Optimizing the daylighting capabilities of the building considerably reduced the lighting heat load and the energy savings produced by the lighting systems. A dimming control system combined with T5 lamps supplements daylight with artificial light only as needed, so that artificial light is produced as efficiently as possible. Additionally, space occupancy sensors turn lights off when spaces are unoccupied. This further contributes to the facility’s energy savings. The lighting system produced the greatest single energy savings. In the final energy analysis, lighting energy used was calculated to save 57.3% of the lighting energy required by the Standard 90.1 budget building. Raised Floor Air-Distribution System Heifer International desired the building to provide a flexible work environment for employees. The design requirements included optimizing comfort, flexibility and sustainability. A raised floor system was chosen because it met all three of these design requirements. Several different types of raised floor systems were evaluated, and a steel and concrete composite system was selected with an 18 in. clear space below the floor. Great care was taken during construction to minimize air leakage within the floor system. A variable air volume (VAV) airdistribution system was chosen because it is believed to be the most efficient system for moving heat from the occupied space where it is produced to the air-handling unit that moves it to a place where it is unobjectionable. The narrow arc of the building allows daylight and outdoor views for every workstation. 8 HIGH PERFORMING BUILDINGS Winter 2008 Photo © Timothy Hursley
