Century was retained to provide all mechanical and plumbing design services for a new 100,000 square foot Inn & Conference Center addition to an existing building. The addition houses 126 hotel rooms, guest support services, administrative and storage spaces, meeting rooms, and building support spaces. LEED-NC® Certification was achieved, with energy performance improved by 30% over the LEED® Base Line. Century worked closely with the Architect on the design and selection of the building thermal envelope components such as walls, roof and fenestration to make sure that all individual components worked as a high efficiency system. Century also wrote the commissioning program which guaranteed and documented that the systems were installed and operated as per the original design.
