Rebranded as 100 Montgomery in 2009, the 25-story, 431,407-square-foot office building is considered a historically significant structure in downtown San Francisco. Redesigned by Robert A.M. Stern Architects and restored to its former glory, the building features an ultra-modern crystallized glass exterior, complemented by the refurbished Art Deco metal panels and window mullions. The operable windows on each floor have been preserved, as has the historic Montgomery Street lobby entrance. A new lobby was added at the corner of Montgomery and Sutter, and the redesigned ground floor features large retail storefronts and display windows. The building was originally designed by Wilbur D. Peugh and developed by Equitable Life Insurance as their headquarters in 1955.
100 Montgomery earned the ENERGY STAR for superior energy performance in 2010,2011and 2012 and The Gold certification under the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC's) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System in 2009. The Platinum certification under the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC's) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System was achieved 2014.
To achieve these milestones, 100 Montgomery identified and implemented energy efficiency improvements throughout the building's equipment and operations. The building's HVAC system was upgraded in 1965, and its chillers were replaced in 1995. In 2009, the building's HVAC was re-commissioned by Retrocom, a third-party consultant.
The chillers, one of which is equipped with a variable frequency drive (VFD), are constantly monitored for efficiency using a proprietary "Chiller Performance Test," which has lab-grade thermometers for temperature readouts. The building utilizes a 100 percent economizer system.
For new tenant improvements, the lighting standards were rewritten to include T5 troffer systems with dual level switching and adding variable air volume (VAV) systems to control interior zones.
In 2013 100 Montgomery Installed VFD’s on all Supply and Return fans and completed replacing the Perimeter Induction Steam Coils throughout the building. In addition to the Fan VFD's Cooling Tower fan VFD's were also installed enabling the BMS to Control the Cooling Tower Fans.
In 2013 a State of the Art Fitness Facility was built on the Ground Floor for a Tenant Amenity. Installed is State of the Art Equipment that requires up to 75% less energy while being used.
In 2013 Mach Energy System was installed to Monitor and Trend Both Steam and Electricity to the building.

By Installing VFD's on all of our Supply and Return Fans we are seeing a significant savings on our Electricity Bill. Before Fans ran 100% alfor 12 hours a day 5 days a week.
