The Center of Developing Entrepreneurs [CODE] project consists of a 10-story building that includes versatile office spaces, food and retail storefronts, a courtyard, an amphitheater, and a 225-seat auditorium. The staggered roof-top terraces provide working spaces and greenery watered by a rainwater harvesting and irrigation system. In addition, CODE’s HVAC system features a dedicated hydronic heat recovery system and air enthalpy wheels to optimize energy usage. Combined with the building construction, the CODE project operates using 46% less energy than the ASHRAE 90.1-2010 baseline. ColonialWebb performed both the core and shell and the tenant improvement scopes for this project.
