Developed, owned,
and managed by Hines, ChemedCenter at 255 Fifth is a 32-story office
tower housing 525,000 square feet of office space, as well as 10,500
square feet of exclusive retail space. Designed by Skidmore, Owings
& Merrill and completed in 1991, ChemedCenter at 255 Fifth is
clad in Sardinian gray granite and bronze-tinted glass. The property
is an elegant and dramatic element of the Cincinnati skyline, with
its illuminated sculptural rooftop crown a particularly distinctive
element. Street-level presentation was also addressed with a
two-story Fifth Street portico opening into a grand corridor to
ChemedCenter's two-story lobby, its walls clad in cream-colored
travertine and dark mahogany.
ChemedCenter at 255 Fifth earned the ENERGY STAR for superior
energy performance as a result of extensive retrofitting to lighting
and HVAC infrastructure. Existing T-8 fluorescent lamps were
replaced with T-12 lamps, while incandescent bulbs were replaced
with high-efficiency halogen and compact fluorescent lamps. HVAC
retrofits include the installation of variable frequency drives
(VFDs) on air handling units throughout the system, which enable
these units to operate at levels that correspond closely with actual
demand. In addition, chilled water reset capabilities on chillers
allow the chilled water supply temperature to fluctuate depending
upon the outside air temperature, further bringing HVAC energy
consumption into line with actual demand.
Hines has been recognized with multiple ENERGY STAR Sustained
Excellence and Partner of the Year awards. For a summary of the
