Virginia Natural Gas Headquarters
Virginia Beach, VA
This 2-story brick and glass Class A office building serves as the new headquarters for Virginia Natural Gas. As a design/build project, it achieved LEED certification and features numerous green building components. The site offers several options for environmentally-friendly transportation – it is in close proximity to a bus transit stop, contains bike racks and changing rooms with showers, and offers preferential parking for fuel-efficient vehicles. Its two-story design maximizes site layout while the use of indigenous landscaping eliminates the need for irrigation. An energy-efficient HVAC system will be installed, which is expected to improve building energy performance by an estimated 18%. Materials such as adhesives, sealants, paints, coatings, flooring systems and composite wood/agrifiber product are ozone- and environmentally-friendly and low odor-emitting, while an indoor air quality management plan was also instituted from the start of construction through completion. A minimum of 10% of building materials used were recycled, such as steel and crushed concrete. A variety of the materials, including masonry, steel and concrete, were procured from regional sources, while wood incorporated into the design was certified by the Forest Steward Council. At least 50% of the construction waste material was ultimately recycled. Energy-efficient exterior lighting has been utilized, including the use of shields on perimeter lights to prevent offsite bleeding of luminosity. Interior lights employ controllability mechanisms, as does the structure’s thermal system. The building also features water-conserving fixtures and a solar-reflective roof.
