Targeting LEED NC Gold, The Kohl Building includes: geothermal heating and cooling with radiant panels, energy efficient systems and lighting, a green roof system, storm water run-off collection and filtration, and the use of local, recycled, and sustainably-harvested materials. The project was designed to achieve energy performance greater than 40% better than an ASHRAE 90.1 baseline. Significant attention was paid to tight integration of acoustic, energy, comfort, and air quality considerations. As an added value, the geothermal radiant system reduces the need for ductwork, thereby mitigating penetrations in floors, ceilings and walls that compromise acoustics;Modern DesignRead More!
