Walnut
Creek Center-100 is a seven-story, Class A commercial office
building in Walnut Creek, CA whose tenants include attorneys,
investment planners, insurance companies, and financial companies.
The building, constructed in 1983, is owned by Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance Company, Inc. and professionally managed by
Crosspoint Realty Services, Inc.
Walnut Creek Center has long employed energy saving strategies
with tools such as automatic light sweeps; window film on the
eastern, southern, and western windows for higher efficiency and to
reduce solar load; and occupancy sensors in private offices,
conference rooms, and restrooms.
In
2007, the energy management team replaced the roof on the two towers
with a single-ply cool roof system for energy conservation. In 2008,
the team replaced the energy management system with Johnson
Controls' Metasys Bacnet communications, which increased the control
points for more efficient management of system controls. In 2009,
the team replaced the Westinghouse chillers with McQuay Turbocor
chillers while installing new energy-efficient motors and variable
frequency drives (VFDs) on all pumps. In 2010, the team commenced
replacement of the existing Trane pneumatic VAV boxes with new Titus
direct digital control (DDC) boxes. In 2011, the team replaced two
Bryant natural draft boilers (75 percent efficiency) with K&N
induced draft boilers (94 percent efficiency). In addition, the team
replaced the existing F96 fluorescent garage fixtures with QL
induction fixtures, which will yield an additional 30 percent energy
savings and reduce maintenance costs over the life of the fixtures.
This accomplishment is achieved by implementing sound
maintenance programs on all mechanical equipment and utilizing best
practices in conserving energy. The energy management team continues
to increase its energy conservation efforts and strives to reduce
the building?s carbon footprint. This effort is further enhanced by
the work of building tenants to achieve Bay Area Green Business certification.
