Information Systems Facitlity (ISF)
| Information Systems Facility (ISF). ISF is a data processing and communications center providing centralized intelligence services for the entire 25th Infantry Division. The building has been designed for “always available” full capacity cooling. In addition it met the requirement for a LEED® Gold rating. Our engineers proposed an enlarged, stand-alone chiller water plant that serves a companion building. The companion building program called for “as available” cooling in the event of mechanical breakdown of a central plant chiller. Sharing the stand- alone plant made it portion the capacity in the remaining chiller, making it usable for “always available” cooling. In other words, the ISF balanced “as available” cooling to the companion cooling system. The LEED® rating was improved by sharing the stand-alone plant since the efficiency of the combined plant was higher than that of two separate plants. Notkin Hawaii Inc. further improved the LEED® rating by specifying Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) chillers in the shared plant. The combination of a shared plant with VFD chillers allowed the maximum improvement in the LEED® mechanical rating. These technologies qualified the building for LEED® Gold. |
