World's Largest LEED Platinum Office Building
GHT provided mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering design and energy modeling services for the first phase of Amazon’s HQ 2 development at National Landing, Amazon HQ2 Metropolitan Park.
The campus includes two new buildings, made up of more than 2.1M SF of sustainable office space, atop a 4-story underground parking garage. The award-winning development is the world’s largest LEED v4 BD+C Platinum project and is powered by 100% off-site renewable energy and equipped with on-site strategies to minimize energy and water use.
Designed under the rigorous LEED v4 standard, the project serves as a model for future sustainable developments in the region. To navigate sustainability goals and align with Amazon’s Climate Pledge to meet net zero carbon by 2040 and 100% renewable energy use by 2030, GHT collaborated with ZGF Architects and the entire project team to incorporate sustainability strategies and solutions throughout the campus that went above and beyond industry standards.
As a result of the sustainability strategies, the project will support Amazon’s Climate Pledge with systems designed to achieve 20% energy savings below the ASHRAE baseline, 50% water savings below building code, and 75% carbon emissions reduction in operations.
