Analysis of the Design and Energy Performance of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Cambria Office Building

doi:10.2172/15016075

Abstract

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection asked NREL to evaluate the energy performance of the Cambria Office Building to determine if it had met design goals. The focus of this report is the analysis of an integrated design process used to construct the facility and the postoccupancy energy performance. NREL collected energy use and other performance data and compared that data with a standard ASHRAE baseline computer model. NREL used this metered data and analysis to formulate recommendations to further improve building performance.

Preliminary Energy Analysis of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's Cambria Office Building Ebensburg, PA

Deru, M. ; Hancock, E. January 2003

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has undertaken a path to build''high performance green'' buildings as part of the objectives of the Governors Green Government Council. The first building, completed in 1998, is used as the DEPs regional headquarters in Harrisburg. The Cambria office, located in Ebensburg, is DEPs second building. Many of the lessons learned from the first building were successfully applied to this building, which was completed in 2000. The objective was to provide a comfortable and productive work environment while minimizing its short- and long-term environmental impacts.

The 36,000-square-foot Cambria Office building in Ebensbug, Pennsylvania houses the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. Designers of the energy-efficient building used integrated design to minimize energy use and pollution created in the production of the materials they used, and reduced the overall pollution and environmental impact the building will create over its lifetime. The building also employs daylighting and renewable energy technologies.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) Order 5400.1 (DOE 1988a), General Environmental Protection Program, establishes environmental protection program requirements, authorities, and responsibilities to ensure that DOE operations are in compliance with applicable Federal, State and local environmental protection laws and regulations, executive orders, and internal department policies. Chapter 3 of DOE Order 5400.1 requires that each DOE Field Office prepare a plan for implementing the requirements of this order and update the plan annually. Therefore, this update to the US Department of Energy -- Richland Operations Office Environmental Protection Implementation Plan (DOE-RL 1989a), initially prepared November 9, 1989, is beingmore » issued.« less
