This expansion added two new three-story office buildings for a total of 413,000 square feet, a second 35,000-square-foot central plant CP-2 that consisted of two 1,500 ton chillers and four 2,500 KW 12KV generators, a new auditorium attached to their existing main building which had 6,000 square feet, and a new MDF computer room of 2,000 square feet. The existing central plant CP-1 was also retro-commissioned. This expansion brought their Pensacola campus up to 10,000 employees.
KFI’s Arizona staff performed commissioning services on the following systems: HVAC, controls, plumbing, fire protection, electrical power distribution, emergency power distribution, lighting and lighting controls, fire alarm, and building enclosure systems. All aforementioned systems were subject to inspection, point-to-point, and operational and functional testing. A thorough design review was also performed. In the expanded auditorium, KFI performed commissioning on the auditorium environment, AV/IT booth, and the expanded MDF data center.
KFI’s Arizona staff performed commissioning services for all systems listed above for the new office buildings, parking garage, central plant, and auditorium addition to ensure efficient operation to meet Navy Federal requirements and gain LEED certification. Ultimately, this project achieved the desired LEED® Gold rating.
