DPR Construction

Building Automation

Home to DPR Construction’s Phoenix office, this facility is certified as a Net-Zero Energy Building (NZEB). Producing as much or more energy than it consumes, the LEED®-NC Platinum office building is the first in Arizona and only the second office in the U.S. to achieve NZEB certification from the International Living Future Institute (ILFI) through its Living Building Challenge(SM) program. To date, there are only four buildings in the nation with this certification.

DRP purposely chose a building that was nearing the end of its intended lifecycle in a redeveloping area to show their commitment to the local community and to demonstrate the impact of revitalization.

DPR needed a partner to develop a design-build technical solution and integrate multiple applications into a single user interface, achieving the possible energy savings and meeting the goal of LEED – NC Platinum, net-zero energy.

Project Solution

Climatec worked directly with the construction and design teams in real time, performing an integrated project delivery with a target value approach. In addition, Climatec developed the entire building systems in the most cost effective way while maintaining human comfort.

Climatec installed Honeywell Niagara Framework which controls all of the sequences to take full advantage and bring the outside environment inside. During times when it makes sense, they can utilize operable windows in conjunction with evaporative cooling and convection ventilation to maintain a comfortable temperature in the main office area. Once the available cooling is extinguished via passive systems the control system determines when to enable the conventional cooling means.

DPR has achieved all of the goals to make this the first Net-Zero building in Arizona.
