Park District of Oak Park Gymnastics and Recreation Center
The project was the construction of a new Gymnastics and
Recreation Center for the Park District of Oak Park, Illinois.
The building has LED/SSL in the Lobby, Offices,
Gymnastics, Corridors, Washrooms, Viewing and Multi-purpose rooms.
95% of the lighting is LED/SSL. LED lighting reduces wattage,
reduces maintenance, reduces HVAC load, and ultimately reduces life
cycle cost.
Heating is provided to the building by a high efficient gas fired
condensing hot water boiler. This 95% efficient boiler
operates at low temperatures to provide efficient operation. All of
the heating equipment was designed to operate at low hot water
temperature to capture the maximum efficiency of the boiler.
The LED lighting and condensing boiler, the building was designed
to use 32% less energy than the state energy code at the time of design!
