Hines is the
owner, developer, and property manager for
PNC
Center
, a 27-story,
497,000-square-foot office tower in downtown
Cincinnati
,
Ohio
.
Designed by the
firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and completed in 1979,
PNC
Center
is
distinguished by its clean architectural style and an exterior
curtain of travertine marble, aluminum, and bronzed, dual-pane
glass. The interior carries on this theme of simple, modern
opulence, with a high-ceilinged lobby finished in travertine and
dark granite, and dramatic glass walls that allow visitors to view
activity in the building's retail banking lobby and brokerage offices.
PNC
Center earned
the ENERGY STAR for superior energy performance as a result of
retrofitting the
building infrastructure elements, as well as making changes in the
active management of the property's energy consumption. On the
infrastructure side, lighting was one focus: for example, 32-watt
fluorescent bulbs throughout the facility were replaced with
higher-efficiency 25-watt bulbs, while three-tube fluorescent
fixtures were upgraded to two-tube T5 fixtures. HVAC systems
provided additional opportunities for savings. The cooling tower
was re-piped to improve efficiency, and the chilled water valve
actuators were upgraded for improved performance. Property
managers at
PNC
Center
also work
actively to reduce energy consumption, using an upgraded building
management system to monitor energy demand and reduce it where
possible, such as setting equipment start/stop times that optimize
the balance between energy savings and tenant needs.
Hines has been
recognized with multiple ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence and
Partner of the Year awards. For a summary of the firm's
