U.S. Engineering fabricated and installed the mechanical systems to meet LEED® requirements, which incorporate highly efficient design and construction techniques. Some of the systems include chilled beams, evaporator systems, energy recovery heat pumps, low-flow fixtures, highly efficient pumps, and other sustainable features. The NCAR supercomputer, at the time it was installed, ranked among the world’s top 25 for speed and the facility is 90% more energy efficient than typical supercomputing centers.
