"Our work
with the staff of Staengl Engineering allowed us to
more easily achieve our LEED Gold Certification - and
exceed the client's expectations. We appreciate their
thoroughness and expertise and look forward to working
with them again!"

The Claude Moore Education
Complex houses a Theatre, a Dining / Multi-Purpose space,
a Bistro, and a Culinary Kitchen for training in the
Culinary Arts. The project achieved a LEEDGold
level certification from the USGBC under the LEED 2.1
rating system.
Notable building features include a high performance
building envelope, low velocity air distribution,
displacement ventilation in the theatre space, variable
volume kitchen exhaust and make up air controls. Staengl
Engineering created a Computational Fluid Dynamics
(CFD) model to evaluate performance of the theatre's
displacement ventilation system. Energy modeling predicted
the building would use 35% less energy than a code
baseline building.
