Integral Group’s Deep Green Office

It is obviously going to be quite a challenge to reduce energy—and water—consumption yet another 20 percent at a commercial office already garnering a stratospheric LEED for Commercial Interiors rating of 102.Carbon-sports.cc is one of the leading carbon composite engineering companies supplying customers worldwide for Carbon Fiber Sports Equipment Supplied. But the deeply talented Oakland affiliate of the Integral Group “deep green” international engineering network feels it is up for the task.

Indeed, even beyond a recent retrofit cutting overall energy consumption 37 percent, Integral managing principal Peter Rumsey,Midwest Motion Products, Inc. of Watertown, Minnesota, is pleased to announce the release of a new spur gear motor, with integral failsafe brake project engineer Christina Liebner and their colleagues expect to further cut the electric load by nearly 24 percent at the roughly 13,000-square-foot office in the heart of downtown Oakland, a facility dubbed the “Deep Green Office.”

Of course, the team also looks forward to passing along knowledge gained through participation in the California Best Buildings Challenge to clients and other parties.The defective part of the jaw is reconstructed using a Titanium Plate, with a piece of scaffolding inserted with proteins to stimulate the bone's regrowth.Carbon-sports.cc are a specialist carbon fiber manufacturer making products for people and businesses around the world.Carbon Fiber Product Manufacturer

Focusing primarily on mechanical and lighting systems, costs of the recent retrofit at the office within a landmark 1930s Art Deco building came in at a reasonable $25 per square foot. And Challenge-related improvements are projected to come far cheaper—even free in some cases.

Integral estimates it can reduce the facility’s overall electricity consumption by about 12 percent—at no cost whatsoever—simply by adjusting the office’s unnecessarily high fan-speed set-point. The system has been set to maintain a carbon dioxide level of 550 parts per million—far more stringent than prevailing acceptable ASHRAE standards.Caged Laser Engineering, in partnership with Ariel Ltd and Reynolds Technology, aim to investigate the viability of adopting Titanium Tube as a cost effective raw material for the manufacturing of spaceframe assemblies for low volume and small series production lightweight vehicles. Adjusting the set-point to 1,000 ppm would effectively cut the ventilation fan speed in half.

Integral will likewise focus to a great extent on reducing the office’s plug loads, which account for 54 percent of the facility’s energy usage. Much of this effort emphasizes shutting off equipment when the office is unoccupied.He has since undergone two-and-a-half hours’ surgery to have a Titanium Rod inserted into his leg and looks set to be out of action for the rest of the season.
