United Steelworkers Headquarters
The building is supported by a steel exoskeleton resting on eight piers, two on each side of the building. Another intelligent part of the building’s structural engineering is the specification of different grades of steel depending on the strength requirements of each structural member.
The United Steelworkers (USW) turned to TEN to realize their energy efficiency goals for their headquarters building. Working with TEN, the USW achieved a 40% reduction in building energy and water consumption and earned LEED certification.
“Major energy efficiency projects create work in the building and manufacturing industries, lower energy costs, and make the world a better place for our children and grandchildren. Everyone benefits when we do the right thing.”
