The process tasked the geothermal exchange based HVAC system with hybrid integrated fluid coolers (commonly known as cooling towers) and the fluid based HVAC heat-pumps as well as more conventional energy consuming systems. The full commissioning study in June and July of 2015 provide verification of very exemplary level of care by the on-site facilities management team and as well made several recommendations for further improvements. The building attained an Energy Star for Buildings rating of 86 (2014’s performance) meaning it was in the top 14% of all buildings when considering energy performance. The revisit in 2017 for the required reporting update saw many of the initiatives recommended installed even though the campus size grew and the building gained even more occupants as well as an improved Energy Star for Buildings rating of 89.
