Description

Achieving deep energy savings is especially challenging when you’re faced with an existing structure with poor orientation, historicpreservation requirements and little space for renewables. This paper outlines how the design team used the right steps in the right order to achieve a predicted 60-70% annual energy cost savings in a building with all of these challenges – the Byron G. Rogers Federal Office Building inDenver, Colorado. The Byron Rogers building is currently undergoing a deep energy retrofit, to be completed in 2013, and upon completion it willconsume less than half the energy than it did pre-renovation. The building was constructed in the 1960s and is just under 500,000 square feet.Upon its fiftieth birthday, it will officially be recognized as a historic building.
