Located
at 1999 Broadway in Denver, CO, this property is a 43-story, green
glass office tower built around the Holy Ghost Catholic Church. The
building was constructed in 1984 and includes 680,276 square feet of
rentable space. Original construction specified that pneumatic
controlled fan powered boxes with three stages of electric
heat would be installed in all tenant office areas. Two independent
energy management systems controlled the building operations. One
system functioned as a basic time clock while the other handled
limited direct digital control (DDC) functions. Primary HVAC
equipment consists of 12 75hp fans and two chillers with a combined
capacity of 1,500 tons. The cooling tower is comprised of four
cells, each with a capacity of 500 tons. Three 30hp pumps provide
domestic water service to all areas of the property.
In 1994, the building ownership embarked on a Demand Side
Management (DSM) program which brought district steam into the
building. The installation of a new energy management system (EMS)
allowed for a steam hybrid heating system to be installed. This
heating system provided night set back, morning warm up, and
pressurization capabilities to all areas of the building. The
introduction of the steam hybrid system significantly reduced the
winter electrical peak demand.
The first major lighting upgrade occurred in 2000/2001. New,
low mercury T-8 lamps with electronic ballasts were installed in all
fixtures. In addition, the center tube in each fixture was
permanently removed. Incandescent exit signs were replaced with new
LED signs, and all existing T-12 lamps located in the building's
service areas were upgraded to T-8 lamps. High pressure sodium light
fixtures located in the parking garage were replaced with T-8
fluorescent fixtures and electronic ballasts.
In 2005, Transwestern Broadreach 1999 L.L.C. purchased the
property and began a program dedicated to replacing inefficient and
antiquated equipment. All of the main supply air fans were upgraded
to new premium efficiency motors and variable frequency drives
(VFDs) were installed. New electronic control panels were installed
on both chillers and a VFD was installed on the lead chiller. The
cooling tower was completely rebuilt and again new premium
efficiency motors with new fans were installed. VFDs were installed
on the two lead cooling tower fans. All three domestic
water pumps were fitted with VFDs. Finally, a new LON-based energy
management system was installed, which allows for the monitoring and
control of some 1,500 plus points. As new construction progresses,
the old pneumatic fan powered box controls are replaced with the
latest direct digital controls. This DDC upgrade on tenant floors is
about 60 percent complete.
Since 2005, all new
construction is required to install passive infrared lighting
controls. In 2010, contractors will complete the final phase of a
3-year window wet seal project. Also scheduled for completion in
2010 is the upgrade and replacement of all fire sprinkler heads
throughout the tower. The new sprinkler heads will activate within
15 seconds vs. the old standard of 45 seconds. Two large pumps are
scheduled to be rebuilt and motors upgraded to premium efficiency by
the end of 2010 as well.
1999 Broadway uses the computerized Angus Anywhere software
for submitting and tracking tenant work orders. This software is
also used for the scheduling of planned maintenance on over 200
pieces of equipment. This software provides instant status reports
to tenants and team members as well as a multitude of information
including history, employee hours, and report generation.
Since purchasing the property, Transwestern Broadreach
1999 L.L.C. has dedicated much time and capital to preserving the
building envelope, improving tenant safety, and continuing to
upgrade equipment in order to reduce overall energy costs.
