In a conscious effort to be a more environmentally responsible corporation, Middleburg Bank engaged AHSa to design its latest branch in accordance with LEED® 2.2 NC, as a building that is both energy efficient and environmentally friendly. This building uses approximately 38% less energy and 46% less water than standard buildings of its kind.
AHSa’s design included improved indoor air quality and environmental controls for its occupants as well as incorporating innovative energy generation technologies such as geotransfer wells and water source heat pumps. The geotransfer wells help heat and cool the building by extracting energy from the earth. These forward thinking steps go a long way in showing the firm’s commitment towards cleaning the environment for future generations.
