Vidaris has been providing extensive consulting to the Related-Oxford development team, and to the designers, Kohn Pedersen Fox and Jaros Baum & Bolles, to achieve a range of high-level goals for this building: energy efficiency, sustainability, comfort, and a LEED Platinum rating. We modeled the energy use of the building under many scenarios, undertook THERM studies to design an envelope with reduced heat loss, and undertook CFD studies to harmonize the curtain wall with the HVAC for better comfort and for reduced chance of moisture condensation. We also analyzed many environmentally-beneficial options.
The Core & Shell building is estimated to reduce energy cost of the entire building by at least 20% vs. ASHRAE 90.1-2007, primarily through a high performance envelope, efficient chiller/boiler plant, and an on-site 1200 kW cogen with absorption chiller. The Related team and Vidaris also worked with the tenants to further increase energy savings, using lower lighting power density, extensive lighting controls and high-efficiency HVAC distribution (underfloor air delivery and electronically-commutated motors). The collaboration between Core and Shell and tenants resulted in a building that is estimated to have at least 28% lower energy cost compared to the ASHRAE baseline.
Stormwater management is another notable sustainability initiative. Stormwater tanks located in multiple strategic locations collect all of the rainwater and reuse it for cooling tower makeup water and landscape irrigation. Extensive daylight, views, fresh air, and low-voc materials were included in the design to provide tenants with a comfortable, high performance office space.
