Michaud Cooley Erickson (MCE) provided full MEPF engineering services for their new headquarters building that would be connected to their existing headquarters. With a LEED Platinum certification, the MEP systems are designed to be 45 percent more energy efficient that ASHRAE performance standards. MCE modeled the entire building in IES-VE software to assist in choosing energy efficient HVAC systems and to help the architects make design decisions about glazing and orientation of the building. Some of the components used where a dedicated outside air system with energy recovery, dedicated outdoor air VAV boxes, condensing boilers, LED lighting systems, daylighting controls, solar panels installed on the roof, water saving plumping fixtures and a system for storm water collection to be used for irrigation. Additionally, MCE participated in the Xcel Energy Assist Program to provide rebates to the owner.
