Installing Complex HVAC Systems at ASHRAE’s New Sustainable Headquarters
ASHRAE commenced a transformative renovation for its new global headquarters in January 2020. The newly acquired, 66,700-square-foot facility in Peachtree Corners, Georgia, showcases the latest HVACR equipment and technology, providing a destination venue for visitors to experience state-of-the-art technology in the built environment.
Consistent with the organization’s vision and values, ASHRAE set high sustainability goals for the building that required partners and solutions that could deliver an energy-efficient HVAC piping system. Given its vast membership base, the project also benefited from the participation of some of the construction industry’s top engineers, contractors, and manufacturers, as they worked together to make ASHRAE’s dream become a reality.
And while ASHRAE’s dream was big, the timeline was not. The project had to be completed by late summer so the organization’s 125-person staff could move in by October.
