The Project: PNC Branch Banks
PNC Branch Banks are the first LEED® volume certified buildings in the U.S. ranging from Certified to Gold levels. PNC presently has over 150 certified buildings and is the largest single LEED® owner in the country.

CJL Engineering Design Solutions:
• Standardizing systems to simplify and reduce PNC costs for purchasing, construction,
   operations, and maintenance.
• A high performance envelope and glazing system enables maximum exposure to daylight
   while significantly reducing thermal losses and solar heat gain.
• Efficient Atrium lighting systems that automatically dim and shut off, saving an estimated
   31% of lighting energy.
• Exceptional indoor air quality and energy efficient performance is provided by the high
   performance HVAC system, and use of nonpolluting interior materials.

The Project: Pittsburgh Green Innovators
The historic Connelley Trade School will be renovated and modernized to create the Pittsburgh Green Innovation Center, a cutting-edge training, education, and research center that will support the new green economy in Western Pennsylvania. PGI will showcase new and evolving green building technologies; will demonstrate energy efficient building systems performance and energy generation using renewable biofuels; provide green building systems training, research, and education; and provide start-up facilities for emerging green business ventures. The building will be designed to achieve a LEED® Platinum certification

CJL Engineering Design Solutions:
• High Performance envelope with improved insulation, high performance glazing and
   sawtooth clerestories, daylighting.
• Geothermal heating/cooling, EcoClean boilers with recycled plastic pellet fuel
• Microturbine Combined Heat and Power (CHP) generators, using biofuels, for off-grid peak
   demand shaving.
• Renewable Energy sources, including photovoltaics, solar hot water, and wind generation.

The Project: BJC Data Center
The new 30,000 sq. ft. Tier 3 primary Data Center for BJC Healthcare, St. Louis, MO will be located on an existing hospital campus that is being developed as a green healthcare facility in accordance with LEED® criteria. The Data Center and all future buildings will be built with high performance sustainable design principles, creating an “integrated” green site.

CJL Engineering Design Solutions:
• The Data Center incorporates a high density heat containment approach to minimize
   cooling energy requirements and maximize environmental control to meet increasing
   data equipment power and cooling loads.
• The Data Center cooling load heat rejection is recovered and used for various hospital
   heating needs, including boiler makeup water preheat, VAV reheat, Domestic Hot Water
   preheat.
• The Data Center is built to Tier 3 standards, including seismic and tornado hardened
   facilities, multiple utility power sources, and n+1 redundancy for normal and
   emergency MEP equipment.

The Project: Phipps Conservatory ‘Living Building’
The Phipps Conservatory is developing the Center for Sustainable Landscapes in accordance with the USGBC Cascadia Chapter’s “Living Building Challenge.”, which mandates net-zero energy, waste, and water usage. It will be a landmark building that produces as much energy from renewable resources as it uses from the grid on an annual basis. It will also capture, treat and recycle wastewater and rainwater onsite. When completed, Phipps Conservatory’s ‘Center for Sustainable Landscapes’ will house administration offices, research, education and exhibit programs.

CJL Engineering Design Solutions:
• The building will achieve a LEED® Platinum certification level, based on the highest levels
   of Indoor Air Quality, energy efficiency, water conservation, and resource conservation.
• The building will generate a net surplus of energy from renewable sources, including
   photovoltaics, solar hot water, geothermal storage, and wind.
• HVAC system includes geothermal heating and cooling, underfloor air, desiccant
   dehumidification and heat recovery, hybrid/natural ventilation, economizer,
   radiant heating.

The Project: Edinboro University Institute for Human Services and Civility
The Institute for Human Services and Civility at Edinboro University will be a 25,600 sq. ft. facility designed to meet LEED® Silver Certification. It will utilize numerous Green Building features, not the least of which is a Geothermal System for yearround heating and cooling. The new facility will have Wireless Networking throughout to serve the classrooms, seminar rooms and tiered lecture hall. The University’s Department of Speech and Hearing Diagnostic & Education will also be housed in the complex.

CJL Engineering Design Solutions:
• Green Building Engineering applications to achieve LEED® Silver rating.
• Geothermal System for heating and cooling energy savings. Under Floor Air Distribution
   (plenum) Systems with perimeter reheat, air highways and VFD units on fans and pumps
   for improved Indoor Air Quality and reduced loading of building HVAC systems.
