The World's Most Energy Efficient Residence Hall
Consulting Engineering
Located on Lake Osceola at the heart of the University of Miami’s main campus, Centennial Village will replace four existing high-rise buildings with 550,000 square feet of new residence halls and a 40,000 square foot dining facility. One of the primary goals of this project is to create a strong sense of community among the residents of the village, which will house most of the university’s freshman class.
The building design will highly focus on occupant health and wellness. It will incorporate chilled beams for heating and cooling, a Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS), and heat recovery chillers for domestic hot water generation. Modeling was carried out to optimize daylight access and to determine areas of the building that should be provided with active circadian lighting systems to support healthy sleep cycles. Additionally, the building is targeting LEED Gold certification.
