Design

Energy modeling began very early in the design process and multiple iterations were run to study numerous sustainable strategies. These studies included daylight studies, carbon studies, building MEP system studies, and computational fluid dynamic studies for the solar towers. Given the project's timeframe, the energy modeling was extremely extensive.

Construction

The contractor had to coordinate and train 25,000 on-site workers to follow LEED requirements for construction waste management, the indoor air quality management plan, commissioning and erosion control. The coordination and communication effort was monumental.
