Case Study

Capital Area East End Complex

Enovity provided assistance to the State of California’s Department of General Services (DGS) during Design/Build construction phase of this 1.4 million square foot complex. This project is the largest sustainable office complex that the State of California has ever conceived; one of the five buildings has received a gold rating from the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) and the entire project was the winner of the 2003 Governor's Environmental and Economic Leadership Award.

Our work included verification of building energy performance and HVAC systems commissioning oversight. Enovity principal Greg Cunningham was involved in the project starting at the earliest planning stages. He helped develop the energy performance targets, modeled energy efficiency measures, authored the energy performance requirements in the RFP “Bridging” documents, worked with the project’s “Green Team” on sustainable and LEED components, assisted in evaluating D/B team qualifications, and provided energy oversight during the projects’ detailed design phase.

The project features the following energy measures:
