Puget Sound ASHRAE February Tour

February Meeting
TOUR the new Eastlake building at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center

Please join Puget Sound ASHRAE at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center from 4:45 to 6:30 pm for a TOUR of the recently completed Eastlake building.

Bob Cowan from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center will show tomorrow's energy strategies, in use today. Ideas you can use in your current buildings and in your future buildings. He will show 7 key strategies that were successfully implemented into a lab building to drive the energy cost below a neighboring Energy Star office Building. The Lab building is 30% bigger than the office building and is still costing less to operate.

Fred Hutch retrofitted the existing Eastlake building with laboratories delivering a building that is 39% more energy efficient than the average new laboratory building built in the Northwest (according to information in the Labs for the 21 Century database) and 25% better than the best.
