Hohbach-Lewin, Inc. projects awarded USGBC LEED Certification:
This four-story steel framed medical office building with ambulatory surgery facilities just opened last fall.
The building’s HVAC system relies on an innovative, sub-grade geothermal heat transfer mechanism to maximize efficiency.
Construction of the building is composed of concrete fill over metal deck, supported on steel wide flange beams, girders and columns at the floors; similarly, roofs are constructed with metal decking spanning between steel wide flange beams and columns. The three-story portion of the building is designed for future build out of the fourth floor.
LEED points were achieved through a combination of implementation of sustainable building practices including the use of non-toxic materials for walls (bamboo), ceilings and flooring, zero tolerance for PVC components, energy efficient mechanical and electrical systems, extensive natural day lighting, the use of indigenous plants in landscaping. A high percentage of the (85%) of the demolished site structure was re-cycled.
