The 200 Market
Building is a 19-story, 400,000 square foot office and retail
building. It is the seventh largest multi-tenant office building in
Oregon and the first building of its kind in the nation to achieve
LEED-EB Gold certification. 200 Market is an excellent example of
how existing buildings can be transformed to achieve high levels of
performance and efficiency. The building earned the EPA's ENERGY
STAR label in 2007.
When Russell
Development purchased the building in 1988, immediately steps were
taken to improve the building's environmental quality by removing
asbestos. By 2003, significant investments had been made in energy
efficiency, with innovative installations of equipment such as the
experimental 30 kW Capstone Microturbine which generates electricity
for the building's emergency lighting.
BEA Consulting,
LLC was retained by the 200 Market Building to provide building
commissioning services for existing systems. The commissioning
process included the major mechanical systems equipment, HVAC and
lighting controls and verified that building systems met current
needs and sustainability requirements.
Examples of other
energy efficient measures taken at 200 Market Building include:
Direct digital
controls and lighting sweep programs.
Carbon monoxide
sensors installed in the underground parking garage control exhaust
fans resulting in an energy savings of over 60%.
Installation of
variable speed fans to the smoke ventilation shaft to draw in fresh
air and allow outside air economizer operation during significant
portions of the year when outside air temperatures are within
established ranges.
Temperature
sensors on domestic hot water return lines control two circulating
pumps that previously ran constantly, and pressure tanks installed
in the rooftop penthouse with pressure sensors have reduced pump run
times by over 50%.
Eliminated the
building elevator system DC motors and replaced with AC frequency drives.
Dimming ballasts
and motion sensor controls throughout the three levels of
underground parking garage lighting.
In summary, 200
Market Building's energy efficiency achievements over the years
demonstrate what can be accomplished with an existing building.
Continual efforts to improve the facility over the long term have
established the Owner's commitment to his tenants and to high
performance buildings.
