The
Ellipse at Ballston is a Class-A office building in Arlington, VA
offering over 195,000 square feet of rentable space. Built in 1989,
the building is currently 85 percent occupied.
An
emphasis on energy management and sustainability is standard
practice at the Ellipse. The building management team, comprised of
JRT Realty Group, Inc. and Cushman & Wakefield of Virginia,
Inc., continually applies no- and low-cost energy efficiency
measures, including the provision of weekend HVAC only upon tenant
request, a preventative maintenance schedule, and optimization of
HVAC start and stop times.
Ongoing energy management efforts have included the completion of several upgrades, such as:
-- The addition of a variable frequency drive (VFD) to the air handling unit;
-- Chiller replacement;
-- The installation of motion sensors to the lighting system; and
-- Upgrading the energy management system (EMS) to include enhanced features such as optimal start/stop of HVAC systems.
Other
energy-efficient technologies contributing to the building's high
energy performance score include variable speed drives on cooling
towers and domestic water pumps; T8 and CFL lighting; and LED exit signs.
