CMTA Energy Solutions Corporate Office

Louisville, Kentucky

At CMTA, we’ve built our reputation on research and data-driven design. So when it was time to design a new office building, we decided to go beyond high-performance design techniques to engineer a building showcasing health and wellness strategies.

The two-story, 25,000 SF building is designed and constructed to WELL Gold standards. Special features include an approved alternative compliance path (AAP) for glare reduction through building orientation, space flexibility, and site. These features eliminated the prescriptive feature 56 requirement for window view shading and daylight management on the north façade yielding cost savings.

The lighting systems are designed to support the energy goals of the project while improving the work environment. LED lighting with a color temperature of 4000K is designed to support circadian rhythm and reduce glare.

CMTA has carefully documented the cost of targeted WELL credits to demonstrate to clients how to pursue WELL standards in high-performance buildings cost-effectively.
