When Banner Health – one of the largest non-profit healthcare systems in the US – constructed their new facility in Maricopa, AZ, they had an important goal in mind: creating a comfortable, healthy environment for patients and staff.
The team at Banner Health was curious about the benefits of Displacement Ventilation (DV) and consulted the engineers at SmithGroupJJR for suggestions. The engineering team identified Price as a solid partner for the project, noting their consistent and industry-leading product support.
As Banner Health had predicted, the superior thermal comfort, indoor air quality and energy efficiency of Price Displacement Ventilation made it a perfect fit for their new facility. Found in Banner Health Center Maricopa’s patient care areas and public spaces, this versatile air distribution technology assists in setting a high environmental standard for all future Banner Health facilities.
The California Independent System Operator (California ISO) treated the design of its new headquarters in Folsom, CA as an opportunity to demonstrate strong energy leadership. The corporation – which manages the power grid of 30 million people – wanted to achieve 25% less energy usage than outlined in California’s Title 24 standard, and targeted LEED certification as a benchmark.
Because of the building’s diverse functional areas, a Price Displacement Ventilation system was used in conjunction with underfloor air distribution. This solution provided a comfortable, flexible and aesthetically pleasing work environment.
The video below outlines the design process of the new headquarters, and shows how Price’s hybrid solution helped California ISO exceed its energy performance goals.
