Description:
This presentation explores the integration of architectural design, conceptual cost and energy modeling, and efficient mechanical engineering systems to reduce initial and long-term energy costs. The program will focus on Kaiser Permanente's first all-electric medical office building, located in Santa Rosa, California. The three-story, 87,000-square-foot building represents a design solution that eliminates natural gas from the project, reducing the first cost of mechanical systems and utilities by over $1 million. This low-energy, all electric building has been measured and verified Net Zero Energy and Net Zero Carbon operation. Attendees will receive building performance data, review the design process, obtain lessons learned, and explore applications for other projects.
Hosted by the AIA Academy of Architecture for Health an AIA Knowledge Community.
Learning Objectives:
- See how architectural and engineering design integration can reduce initial construction costs and long-term operating costs in medical office building applications.
- Learn about the design-assist process Kaiser Permanente used to design and deliver this high-performance medical office building project.
- Implement highly efficient, all-electric heat pump systems in lieu of fossil fuel-based boiler systems for medical office building applications.
- Learn about using third-party solar agreements to achieve net zero energy and net zero carbon operation.
