The Treasurer for McHenry County moved into a vacant building that was formally a commercial bank in Woodstock, Illinois. The existing building was constructed in 1978 and is a 5710-square-foot, single story structure with a full basement. The McHenry County Board and the Facilities Management Department recognized the potential to improve the building?s energy efficiency and renovate using ENERGY STAR and LEED guidelines. Under the guidance of the County Board, John Hadley, Director of Facilities Management, and Chris Hansen, KSA Architect, worked closely to identify several green design elements that were incorporated into the project.
Architectural Systems:
-- TPO Roofing Membrane: The ?white? Thermoplastic Membrane Roofing system was specified for its high solar reflective index (SRI).
-- Roof Insulation: The two inch thickness of existing roofing insulation was replaced with two layers of two inch thickness (total of 4 inches) of polyisocyanurate board insulation. The original R value of the old roofing insulation was approximately R-10. The new insulation has an R value of 24.
Mechanical Systems:
-- Furnaces: New ENERGY STAR-rated gas fired furnaces were installed to replace the old gas furnaces. The old furnaces had an annual fuel utilization efficiency of 80% AFUE. The new furnaces are high efficiency, sealed combustion type and have an annual fuel utilization efficiency of 95%.
-- Air Conditioning: New ENERGY STAR-rated air cooled condensing units were installed to replace the old air conditioning system. The new condensing units utilize a refrigerant that have zero ozone-depletion potential. The condensing units also have a seasonal efficiency of 13.
-- Controls: Direct digital controls enabling web-based monitoring of the building were utilized to operate the equipment with unoccupied temperature setbacks.
Electrical Systems:
-- Interior Lighting: Interior lighting utilized energy efficient fluorescent lighting sources, meeting the International Energy Conservation Code?s (IECC) power allowance requirements of 1.0 watts per square foot.
-- Exterior Lighting: The parking lot pole lighting was specified with LED lamps instead of traditional HID (Metal Halide or High Pressure Sodium) units. The typical LED light fixture will burn for 50,000 hours compared to traditional 400W Metal Halide lamp that has an average life of 36,000 hours.
-- Lighting Controls: Individual interior lighting controls, including dual light level controls, were provided for the interior lighting fixtures. All internal lighting fixtures are connected to a central lighting controller which will automatically shut off lighting fixtures after normal business hours. A master switch has been provided for occupants to override the interior lighting automatic shut off function.
-- Exterior lighting controls include an astronomical time clock and a photo-sensor. These controls will prevent exterior lighting fixtures from consuming energy during daylight hours.
McHenry County Treasurer?s Office Building has achieved significant energy savings to earn an ENERGY STAR score of 84.
