A Green Construction

The operations and development team designed the Troy Park Tennis Center project using a holistic and sustainable approach that will influence the design of every part of the building and site. Through the charrette method, the development team engaged all project stakeholders in a process of dialogue and brainstorming to compile a list of sustainable goals and strategies using the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) New Construction Rating System as a guide.

We will achieve energy efficiency by employing an energy modeling program and performing a commissioning process on the mechanical systems in the project. The energy modeling process creates an interactive database that allows the design team to fine-tune the building envelope components and the mechanical system in order to identify and achieve energy reduction targets. Commissioning verifies the appropriate installation of new systems, monitors its functional performance, and trains the owner in the operation and maintenance documentation. The goal of commissioning is to achieve the full energy efficiency capability of the building’s mechanical systems.
