EcoTech Institute - LEED Gold - Solar/Wind Turbines
Location:
Denver, CO
Size and Construction Cost:
60,000 SF - $7.4 Million
Services:
Plumbing, Mechanical, Electrical, Fire Alarm, Photovoltaic (Solar Electric), and Wind Turbine
Engineering Designs
Description:
EcoTech Institute – Denver, CO. – LEED Gold – Solar/Wind Turbines: Crenshaw
Consulting Engineers Designed plumbing, mechanical, fire alarm, electrical and
performed the commissioning for the 60,000 SF EcoTech Institute as well as the
engineering for a total of 38 kWdc photovoltaic (solar electric) that was a combination
of building mounted and solar tree system. The system consisted of 220 flex light
144W laminate modules connected to a 30KW inverter. We also provided electrical
engineering for the interconnection of a 8.5 kWdc building integrated photovoltaic
system in the front building canopy along with a 3 kWdc polycrystalline PV system
along the front edge of the building. CCE also designed a nine wind turbine system
that can generate 8 kWdc. All of the systems on this building will be used to
supplement the building electrical service.
