Ten PennCenter, which rises 27
stories high and has a total square footage of 721,408, was built
by Turner Construction in 1981. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill
designed the building, and Jaros, Baum & Bolles acted as
mechanical engineer. In 2000, the main lobby of Ten Penn Center
underwent an extensive renovation and the exterior was renovated
in 2008.
Ten PennCenter earned the ENERGY
STAR as a result of the energy efficiency features designed into
the building, several equipment upgrades, and the planning,
dedication, and professionalism of the building operations and
maintenance staff. The building's exterior shell has a high
insulating value. This insulation helps reduce the amount of
energy used for heating and cooling. Much of the building has been
retrofitted with energy-efficient lighting, and the building's
chiller plant was upgraded with variable frequency drives (VFDs)
and efficient chillers.
Operations and maintenance at Ten
Penn Center is grounded on a philosophy of providing quick
response and quality service. This is made possible by an
intensive preventive maintenance and capital upgrade program.
Energy utilizing equipment at Ten Penn Center is kept at peak
efficiency to minimize energy consumption while improving
reliability and availability.
In 2008, Ten Penn Center started an aggressive plan which
included improving the building's energy efficiency. Taking
advantage of Pennsylvania's ACT 129 rebates, the building's HVAC
main fan distribution system was retrofitted with variable
frequency drives and lighting controls were installed in tenant
and mechanical spaces to further reduce and control energy
consumption. In 2010, Ten Penn Center further enhanced its
efficiencies by completing the extensive requirements of LEED
certification becoming the first GOLD certified building in
Philadelphia for Existing Buildings in Operations and Maintenance
(EBOM). As a result of their GOLD certification, Ten Penn Center
continues to look for innovative ways to further reduce its carbon
footprint and keep the building in the forefront of energy savings
and management.
