Microturbines generate power and an absorption chiller/hydronic heating hot water system utilizes the waste heat
Conventional water-cooled chiller and hydronic boiler supplement capacity and provide redundancy
High delta T hydronic systems reduce first cost and pumping capacity
The air handling systems provide low-temperature air to fan powered variable air volume boxes to reduce first cost, fan capacity
Car charging stations
LED light fixtures with daylight sensors to automatically dim lighting
