Developed and managed by Hines, Oak Brook Pointe is a
214,000-square-foot, five-story office building situated within
walking distance of Oakbrook Center Mall, one of the most exclusive
shopping centers not just in suburban Chicago, but in the entire
United States. Designed by Wright Architects and completed in 1999,
Oak Brook Pointe is clad in reflective blue glass and gray stone
panels. In keeping with the exclusivity of its surroundings, Oak Brook
Pointe was designed to offer eight corner offices per floor and
includes an underground executive parking area. There is also a
one-level above-ground parking structure and ample surface parking for
guests and visitors. Tenant amenities include an upscale delicatessen
and a full fitness center within the property.
Oak Brook Pointe earned the ENERGY STAR as the result of highly
efficient design and active energy management practices. In the
Chicago area's seasonally extreme climate, HVAC is a major driver of
energy consumption. In Oak Brook Pointe, variable frequency drives are
used on supply and return fans to allow them to operate at levels
commensurate with actual demand. Similarly, the temperature at which
cooled air is distributed through the building is set based on outdoor
temperatures'helping to eliminate unnecessary energy expenditure
during cooler weather. Property management reprogrammed the morning
warm-up cycle for rooftop HVAC units, helping to make the process more
efficient. Lighting is another source of savings, with unnecessary
illumination reduced through the use of programmed light controls in
building common areas, and light sensors in outside parking areas.
Hines, EPA's ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year in 2001, 2002 and
2003, as well as the recipient of the EPA's Sustained Excellence in
Energy Management award in 2004, is proud to participate in the ENERGY
STAR program, considering it an aid to leasing and a sound and
responsible business decision.
