“ASHRAE is committed to making its headquarters a ‘living lab’ for its members and the HVAC&R industry. Generous donations from companies such as Dynamic Air Quality Solutions, have helped to make this goal a reality,” says William A. Harrison, ASHRAE president and chair of the ASHRAE Headquarters Renovation Ad Hoc Committee. “With its sustainability and productivity focus, this project showcases Dynamic Air Quality Solutions commitment to environmental leadership and healthy environments. ASHRAE is grateful for not only their donation, but their dedication to the technologies we are embracing as part of the renewal.”
Sustainable buildings ultimately mean preserving resources for future generations. The design of energy-efficient buildings with sustainable materials now lets us reap benefits for many years to come. These were determining factors when ASHRAE honored Dynamic Air Quality Solutions with their choice of using Dynamic V8 Air Cleaning Systems in the ASHRAE Headquarters Renewal Project. In January 2006, rather than buying or leasing a new facility, the ASHRAE Board of Directors decided to go with a comprehensive renovation of the existing 31,000 sf Atlanta headquarters building that was constructed in 1965. Some of the key project requirements related to IEQ included: • Operation and maintenance needs, featuring an easily maintainable and secure facility with low utility and maintenance costs. • Excellent indoor environmental quality requirements that facilitate occupants’ productivity by providing a comfortable environment while avoiding design attributes related to poor HVAC system performance, poor space utilization, poor acoustical qualities, and inconsistent interior style. • ASHRAE’s desire to minimize environmental impacts and to achieve LEED® NC 2.2 & LEED® EB Gold Certifications.
