SUMMARY:
This LEED CI project involved the greening and optimized design and construction of the TransGlobe Songshan Headquarter Office in Taipei City, Taiwan. The mixed-use building was completed in 2015, and TransGlobe office occupies the 4th and 11th to 17th floors. The project team managed to reuse a significant portion of the furniture from the old office in the new office, saving considerable resources. The project also made an effort to reuse as much as possible from the existing base building HVAC system and components, as well as lighting fixtures for the open office. These strategies helped to reduce the need for raw materials, energy consumptions, emissions, and wastes from the production and transportation of new equipment, components and fixtures. Special emphasis was placed on reducing energy usage in lighting and HVAC systems, as well as creating a comfortable indoor environment for both occupants and visitors.
