eorgia Tech built a 45,000-squarefoot facility to research energy

efficient technologies with a goal
of minimizing net energy usage of the building.

THE CHALLENGE
McKenneys was responsible for a tight
project schedule, which required management
of several major subcontractors performing
work concurrently and coordination of
material storage at a congested job site.

THE SOLUTION
A pre-planning and batching effort was
implemented. Many energy efficient technologies were utilized, including: dual energy
recovery wheels, an under-floor air distribution system with individual zone controls, a
prefabricated chiller plant with a magnetic
bearing compressor, natural ventilation with
automatically controlled windows and louvers,
radiant under-slab heating systems, coil
condensate recovery, and an underground

rainwater recovery system for the toilets and

HVAC systems. McKenneys was able to keep
minimal amounts of material on the jobsite
and worked effectively with other contractors.
THE RESULTS
McKenneys successfully completed the job
on schedule and on budget and helped the
laboratory earn LEED Platinum certification.
