Built Different
Adaptive Reuse Challenge
Converted a 1970s-built former nursing home—originally operating at an EUI of 95 kBtu/ft²/yr with inefficient masonry walls and natural gas steam heating—into a leading-edge behavioral health facility.
Low Ceiling Heights, High Complexity
Engineered flexible HVAC systems within tight floor-to-ceiling constraints, overcoming the absence of centralized AC, ductwork, and ventilation.
Optimized Envelope
Delivered a new R40 roof, triple-pane glazing, and an R19 composite wall system with continuous insulation—dramatically reducing heat transfer and air infiltration.
Electrification at Scale
Designed and installed an 88-well geothermal HVAC system to provide efficient, all-electric heating and cooling for the 80-bed inpatient treatment center.
Solar Integration
Coupled the geothermal system with a 700 kW PV array across the roof and parking canopy to offset 100% of annual energy consumption. PV is expected to be completed in 2025 and the NZE verification process will begin.
