McKinney Green Building

This 61,000 square foot speculative office building features a number of significant sustainable design elements that contributed to its LEED Platinum rating. A 62 percent reduction in energy use was realized due to an energy-efficient building envelope, use of sunshade devices, an underfloor air distribution system, efficient fenestration and high insulation R-value for roof and walls. A rooftop photovoltaic system supplies approximately 10 percent of the building’s electric demand, and can accommodate future expansion. Occupancy and daylight sensors control lighting and energy, while an open plan design maximizes daylight filtration and views to the outdoors
