Overlook at the Fairgrounds Apartments & Mix-Use (Indianapolis, IN)

Design-Aire Engineering performed MEP Design-work on a 4-story, 59-Unit Apartment Complex/Mix-Use Project that was funded with QAP Tax Credits. Housed in a what was formerly the Homer J. Wilson Chocolate Factory, the Overlook resides across the street from the Historic Indiana State Fairgrounds with the primary aim to reinvigorate the area.

In addition to (40) 1-bedroom units  (675 SF each) and (9) 2-bedroom units (950 SF each), there is 1,800 SF of rooftop green-space, a shared event space, onsite fitness facility, and a job-training center.

Aleda E. Lutz – Building 6
Saginaw, MI

The Veterans Administration constructed Building 6 on the Aleda E. Lutz campus in Saginaw, Michigan to achieve a Leadership in Engineering and Environmental Design (LEED) rating of Silver.  The building included energy efficient lighting (light emitting diode & compact fluorescent, occupancy sensors), heating ventilation and air conditioning (connection to central heating plant 12 EER roof top cooling, energy management system) and insulation (3” isoboard, R-21) walls and roof. Total square feet – 7,318

Design-Aire Engineering (DAE) provide building simulation to determine if modifications to the Aleda E. Lutz Veterans Administration Medical Center reduced energy costs sufficient to qualify for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) accreditation

Building 6

DAE determined renovations to the lighting, heating, air-conditioning and building envelope systems reduced energy consumption and cost by 24% and thereby qualify for 9 points toward LEED Silver accreditation.
