500 word narrative that clearly and concisely outlines the project scope and explains why the project should be considered based on judging criteria and specific category requirements. This narrative will be used to describe Honor award winning projects at the ceremony. (500 word max):

The IUPUI Rotary building is a 33,000 s.f. office building for the IU School of Medicine. Achieving LEED Silver certification, the renovation included the extensive reprogramming of the space, the addition of a central communicating stair, the improvement of the building envelope, as well as entirely new mechanical and electrical systems throughout the building. Sustainable features include the installation of an active chilled beam system, low flow plumbing systems, LED lighting, and the use of the central chilled water and steam infrastructure that is utilized for most buildings on campus. ENERGY EFFICIENCY Options for improving the building envelope were studied during early design. Options included: • Addition of 3” of insulation to the exterior walls • Addition of 3” of hard insulation above the 3rd floor ceiling on the bottom of the attic structure • Improving the glazing properties beyond code minimum of the replacement windows. These options were evaluated using Trace 700 software along with the option of an active chilled beam system. All of the above options for improving the building envelope were taken and used to reduce the size of the mechanical system installed. In addition, approximately 90% of the interior lighting is LED and 98% of the building is equipped with motion sensor control for lighting. Energy modeling predicted savings of 38% beyond a code minimum building using ASHRAE 90.1-2007 Appendix G guidelines. INDOOR AIR QUALITY Indoor air quality was addressed in multiple ways. The building is designed to be positively pressurized at all times to reduce infiltration. Additionally, spaces were ventilated per ASHRAE 62.1-2007 or better. Because the active chilled beam system required more air to drive the active chilled beams than was required by ASHRAE 62.1, the air handling unit was designed for less than 100% outside air, thereby optimizing energy usage without sacrificing indoor air quality. MERV 14 final filters were also utilized at the air handling unit. INNOVATION Because of the historic nature of the building, routing systems through the building was a concern during early design. An early demolition package exposed potential issues and minimized the risk of change orders in construction. The final design included: • A smaller air duct system used in the active chilled beam system worked well to meet the challenge of routing systems • The crawl space was utilized to route ductwork horizontally to various chases • The central air handling unit was designed to operate in an unoccupied recirculation mode to reduce the energy costs during unoccupied periods • The air handling unit was designed with an enthalpy wheel which was required by ASHRAE 90.1, but in addition a heat pipe was utilized to provide free reheat during cooling season. COST EFFECTIVENESS The design of the mechanical and electrical systems was designed to utilize the existing chilled water and steam infrastructure, thereby making the systems inherently more cost effective than packaged equipment or a central chiller/ boiler plant. The $6 million dollar project was a cost effective use of the client’s resources and resulted in a projected $17,800 in energy savings annually.
