This LEED Gold-rated project is a 560,000 SF office development for the California Public Employees' Retirement System. The development includes two U-shaped buildings of four stories and six stories, covering two full blocks of downtown Sacramento in Lincoln Plaza. It features a sculptured glass entrance atrium, tiered shading devices on the façade, and several outdoor terraces. All parking spaces are located in an underground garage to reduce the urban heat island effect and to lessen the development footprint. During construction, more than 90% of the project's construction waste was diverted from landfill. In addition, the project was designed to achieve energy savings of approximately 38% beyond ASHRAE 90.1-1999 (and Title 24-1998 requirements). Among its energy-related features, the project has an 87 kW array of photovoltaic panels and waste heat is recovered from the chiller for water heating.
