Based on the final simulation results, the proposed design not only meets Minimum Energy Performance requirement but also qualifies for additional LEED points. The facility is 18.4% more energy cost efficient than the ASHRAE 90.1-2010 reference model. In addition, the project claimed 3.8% more annual energy cost savings through the On-Site Renewable Energy Production, which yields to 22.2% total annual energy cost savings for the proposed design over the baseline reference model. &nbsp;This equals to nine (9) LEED-NC v4 points. Following are renderings of the final energy models and LEED certification review report after final LEED Design Review that shows achieved Optimize Energy Performance points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/climaticdesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"868\" height=\"282\" src=\"http:\/\/climaticdesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/climaticdesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-1.png 868w, https:\/\/climaticdesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-1-300x97.png 300w, https:\/\/climaticdesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-1-768x250.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 868px) 100vw, 868px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sub>Courtesy of Wendel<\/sub><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/climaticdesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"987\" height=\"306\" src=\"http:\/\/climaticdesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/climaticdesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-3.png 987w, https:\/\/climaticdesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-3-300x93.png 300w, https:\/\/climaticdesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-3-768x238.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 987px) 100vw, 987px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sub>Rendering of the Baseline Reference Model<\/sub><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/climaticdesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"976\" height=\"229\" src=\"http:\/\/climaticdesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/climaticdesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-4.png 976w, https:\/\/climaticdesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-4-300x70.png 300w, https:\/\/climaticdesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-4-768x180.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 976px) 100vw, 976px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sub>Rendering of the Proposed Design Model demonstrating exterior wall types<\/sub><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/climaticdesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-5.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"857\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/climaticdesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-5-857x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1341\" style=\"width:840px;height:1003px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/climaticdesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-5-857x1024.png 857w, https:\/\/climaticdesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-5-251x300.png 251w, https:\/\/climaticdesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-5-768x918.png 768w, https:\/\/climaticdesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-5.png 975w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 857px) 100vw, 857px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Location:&nbsp;4615 14th St NW, Washington, DCOwner:&nbsp;Washington Metropolitan Area Transit AuthoritiesArchitecture Firm:&nbsp;Wendel, Buffalo, NY 14203Project description: Bus Maintenance Facility, 446,600 GSFAnticipated end date:&nbsp;October 2025LEED Rating:&nbsp;Anticipated Platinum CDL has performed a whole-building energy model simulation, a comprehensive energy analysis, and an assessment of the building systems and configuration for the WMATA Northern Bus Division Replacement (WMATA-NBD).
