About CMTA
CMTA was founded in 1968 and is recognized as a national leader in high performance, sustainable design within the engineering industry. Our firm has leveraged our expertise in high performance, energy-efficient design into a nationwide practice that includes consulting engineering, performance contracting and zero energy design, technology solutions, and commissioning services. CMTA prides itself on its data-driven, performance-based design process. Performance-based design uses benchmarking of our projects’ real-world energy usage as a challenge to our engineers to continuously improve energy performance. CMTA’s first signature performance-based design project was Richardsville Elementary School, the nation’s first operational Zero Energy school. Since then, our Zero Energy projects have led our firm into the national spotlight. Because we walk the talk, we are true partners vested in sharing our knowledge with our clients. Our corporate headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky and our Lexington, Kentucky offices are both zero energy buildings with perfect ENERGY STAR scores. And our CMTA Energy Solutions corporate office in Louisville is the first in the U.S. to operate as Zero Energy and achieve WELL Gold certification. CMTA strives to create strong relationships with building owners and managers while also focusing on the health and comfort of the people who live, work, and play in spaces we design.

Lubber Run Community Center Arlington, Virginia
Recreation + Wellness With an array of daily operations from gym space to weight rooms to aquatic centers to community space and special events hosted at these facilities; the mechanical heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems must be adaptable to include the various occupancy loads, as well as the outdoor temperature throughout the seasons. In addition, life-safety remains of utmost importance when designing systems for these facilities with varying rates and ages of occupants. Aquatic centers, or what we call, critical climate-controlled spaces, require specialized HVAC solutions to protect the occupants and assets within the space, focusing on pressurization, humidity, and temperature control. Expertise in critical climate-controlled spaces is imperative, and our team has unmatched experience in providing the appropriate energy-efficient heating, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing, and fire protection designs.

Lubber Run Community Center Arlington, Virginia

Through the integration of building and landscape, the Lubber Run Community Center offers a holistic response to an urban challenge -- ultimately creating public space that is greater and greener for residents. Connection to nature and preservation of open space were essential to designing the new building, and as a result, parking and some programs are located underground to allow for increased outdoor amenities at ground level. This all-electric 26 EUI building is zero-energy ready. Lithium battery storage was implemented in the design for demand reduction and resiliency in the system during power outages. The on-site roof-mounted solar photovoltaics are being purchased via a solar purchase agreement currently in progress. A roof-mounted photovoltaic array and battery storage system will help to reduce the building’s impact.
