Case Study:
San Francisco Federal Building

Jonathan Soper, PE, Enovity, Inc.
Mark Levi, General Service Administration

Jonathan Soper and Mark Levi will present performance data on the new San Francisco Federal Building. Highlights include learning how an automated natural-ventilation building can work and where some of the challenges lie; understanding how to overcome some of the difficulties in designing, installing and commissioning under-floor air-distribution systems; and insight into how the commissioning process can add value for a building of this complexity. They will talk about how the building was commissioned and some of the approaches used, providing insight and lessons learned for practitioners facing similar challenges. Visuals and data that reflect actual performance of the building in its first year of occupancy will be shared.
