building

Owned and managed by Houston PT BAC Office, LP, Bank of America Center is a landmark 56-story, 1.5-million-square-foot office tower in the heart of downtown Houston. The neo-Gothic tower, designed by the firm of Philip Johnson and John Burgee, is clad in Napoleon red granite and reflective glass, with a striking gabled roofline descending in three stepped sections on the building's northern facade. Bank of America Center has a grand lobby space that connects to an adjacent 12-story banking hall, and the property also features exterior balconies on 14 floors.

Bank of America Center earned the ENERGY STAR for superior energy performance as a result of a series of infrastructural upgrades and sound building management. Climate control-driven energy consumption is minimized through the use of variable frequency drives (VFDs) on cooling tower fans and chilled water pumps, enabling them to operate at levels that closely correspond to actual demand. Active management of building energy consumption also contributes to bottom-line energy savings, allowing property managers to monitor energy consumption and control energy usage, for example, by minimizing energy usage during times of low building occupancy.
