Skanska<\/a> has completed the renovation of American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers<\/a>\u2019 (ASHRAE\u2019s) new global headquarters in Peachtree Corners, Georgia.<\/p>\n

The 6197-m2<\/sup> (66,700-sf) office building was renovated and retrofitted using innovative technologies and sustainable materials to reduce energy use, water consumption, and carbon footprint.<\/p>\n

The project demonstrates how a three-story 1970s era structure can be transformed into a high-performing net-zero-ready facility in a cost-effective way that can be replicated, Skanska said in a press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were delighted to deliver this highly sustainable building that exceeds environmental standards and caters to ASHRAE\u2019s unique mission,\u201d said Kevin Bell, vice-president of operations for Skanska. \u201cA great deal of thought and consideration went into the design and execution of the renovation. We were able to complete the project during the pandemic without having to shut down because of the safety measures we put in place.\u201d<\/p>\n
