Aaon Helps Project Achieve LEED Platinum



Signature Center, in Golden Colorado, recently received a LEED™ Platinum rating. This ambitious goal was realized with inspired design, and wise choice of mechanical systems.

The design featured:
  • Underfloor Air Distribution
  • Chilled Beams
  • Evaporatively Cooled Chillers with Variable Speed Pumping
  • Evaporatively Cooled Rooftop DX Air Handlers
  • Non-CFC R-410a Refrigerant
Aaon made a natural choice because of their commitment to efficient packaged equipment. This project utilized a packaged LL Chiller Plant as well as a penthouse-type RL air handler. Both units utilized Aaon's unique, water-saving evaporative condensing system. Major project savings were achieved not just in energy, but in this other increasingly scare resource.

Not only did this project reach LEED™ Platinum--It also received the 2007 top award in the institutional building category from the Colorado Renewable Energy Society (CRES).
