Project Overview
The US Department of Defense (DOD) sought to develop a building design for a new fitness and training center, referred to as the H2F Readiness facility, to be located throughout the US as needed. Coffman Engineers, in support of a design competition team with the fitness provider Beaver Fit, worked to develop designs which could be replicated to scale the multiple locations the DOD was considering.
The project included multiple energy efficiency goals for the design included:
The UFC requirement to exceed ASHRAE 90.1 by 30%
All Electric Systems
LEED Silver Certification
Our Role
A2 Efficiency supported the design team with detailed building energy modeling and analysis of options to reach the multiple goals for the project. This included evaluating the design concepts in multiple locations to help identify solutions which could be applied in many locations. The team also provided thermal load calculations, leveraging the use of VE-IES to generate both mechanical sizing calculations and annual energy performance.
Project Highlights
Key performance achievements of the design:
33% and 36% ASHRAE 90.1 2019 App G savings in the two locations
14 LEED 4.1 EA credits identified for both locations
All Electric HVAC Design
Efficiency Measures incorporated: Efficient Cooling, Ventilation Energy Recovery, Variable Speed Fans, Low power lighting, Tight envelope, Improved wall and roof insulation
