LEED / COMMISSIONING PROJECTS

Celebration C5 Office Building - At approximately 103,189 square feet,
this office building in Celebration, Florida was awarded the LEED Gold Certification
by the U.S. Green Building Council under the Core & Shell rating system

Some of the design aspects of the building included: high efficiency variable
air volume packaged rooftop units, use of non-CFC/HCFC based refrigerants,
Energy Recovery wheels for the units serving high occupancy areas,
outside air monitoring station, CO2 sensors in high occupancy areas,
building energy management system with optimum start and stop controls,
high efficiency building envelope, and lighting occupancy sensors.

Magnify Credit Union (formerly Community First Credit Union)
in Lakeland, Florida was awarded the LEED Gold Certification by USGBC.
This building was touted as Florida's First "Net Zero Energy" Commercial Building.
Some of the work done here included a gray water system for the restrooms,
low consumption/low flow fixtures, high efficiency air handling units,
and a large array of photovoltaic panels (see second picture below).

Kyra Info Tech - Lakeland, Florida - is to be rated LEED Silver.
Some of the design aspects include: high efficiency building envelope,
high efficiency air handling units, water efficient landscaping,
and low consumption/low flow fixtures.

Largo Community Center - is to be rated LEED Silver. Some of the
special design aspects of this approximately 30,000 square foot building
includes the use of energy recovery units, CO2 demand controlled
ventilation, low flow plumbing fixtures, and solar hot water heaters.

Mosaic Building Corporate Headquarters - Lake Hutto, Florida - Built in
Lake Hutto, Florida as the headquarters for Mosaic's phosphate business unit
and supply chain group, CEA provided the LEED Enhanced Commissioning and
was also the LEED Administrator for this 110,000 square foot, 4-story building.

One of the interesting aspects of this project is the
high reflectivity, low heat-gain glazing, used to maintain low heat loads
on the mechanical system and decrease utility demand.
