HVAC systems are controlled by a centralized Invensys/ENE Systems Energy Management Control System. All main lobby and Galleria lighting is controlled by a Lutron programmable lighting control system. All base building air handling units, as well as the cooling towers and the circulating water system pumps were installed with Variable Frequency Drives. The original building design included the installation of water side economizers on all base building air handling units, thereby utilizing colder outdoor air temperatures to make chilled water out of our condenser water to eliminate the need for mechanical cooling.

In 2008, the building is upgrading the ventilation system in the 400 car parking garage with a DDC controlled CO level monitoring system. The system is comprised of 21 sensors controlling 16 ventilation fans. In addition to the CO level monitoring system, VFD's will be installed on each fan for added electrical savings.

Also in 2008, motion sensors will be installed in all mechanical rooms, janitors closets, and electrical closets.
