One Judiciary Square (441 4th Street), a major building owned and operated by the city and home to several mission-critical DC government agencies, has gone green. It’s now outfitted with a new energy management system, digital controls, and upgrades to the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. The energy retrofits, worth $7.5 million, will reduce the 850,000-square-foot (SF) building’s energy cost by 20%, ultimately saving taxpayer dollars. Funded by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (AARA), the project created more than 100 construction jobs. Pepco Energy Services, a division of Pepco Holdings, Inc. (701 9th Street), designed, engineered and managed the retrofit project.
