Energy Resource Center Green Building Characteristics
ERC designated as an Energy Star Building by US EPA, exceeding California
Title 24 energy building code by 45%.
Building envelope strategies (insulation, caulkings and sealers, roof
coatings and low-e windows) increased R-values and reduced heating and air
conditioning needs.
Lighting requirements were reduced by 40% through daylighting strategies
(skylights and translucent window walls) and energy efficient lighting schemes
including T-8 compact fluorescent bulbs, and monitor and sensing devices.
Heating and Cooling System includes indirect/direct evaporative cooling,
desiccant units, absorption chillers/heaters, and package units.
Digital monitoring and logging system constantly reviews and adjusts
mechanicals for maximization of energy use.
