OK, let's look at the green facts. According to a recent EPA study, commercial buildings account for 39% of total energy use, 12% of total water consumption, 68% of total electricity consumption, and 38% of carbon-dioxide emissions. Being environmentally friendly is the "right" thing to do. Is it really that difficult? Does it really cost that much? Can you really afford not to? The answers are no, no and no. We don't want you to be sad and "blue" down the road because you didn't go "green" when you had the chance.
Anoka-Hennepin Public Schools | new construction / addition / renovation
The program included 2,000,000 SF of occupied additions / renovations and capital improvements to 36 schools, the new Andover High School, and two new elementary schools - Oxbow Creek and Rum River Elementary.
As a part of the project, Stahl installed an ice storage system to be used for the cooling of school buildings. The system was installed for energy savings and resulted in a substantial rebate from Xcel Energy. The building chiller comes on only at night, during off-peak hours, to make ice that is stored in large tanks. The glycol is sent through the tanks during the day to cool the buildings, which means the chiller doesn't run during peak hours.
