  Vintage Creek Learning Center
Austin, Texas
Client: Foundation Communities – Austin

This new adult training and education center was built within an existing subsidized-living apartment complex. The Learning Center has a fully-equipped computer training room and multiple classrooms for adult continuing education.
  This facility is designed and built in accordance with Austin Energy's Green Building Program. The lighting system incorporates occupancy sensors and daylight switching to minimize energy consumption and the HVAC equipment is an extra high efficiency design and incorprates an energy-recovery module for the ventilation air. The main electric service has an interface for four 2,500 watt photovoltaic (PV) units to be installed on the roof. It is estimated that the PV system will provide 60% of the energy required to power the facility during peak use and peak energy generation. When the center is not in use, the PV system will provide power back to Austin Energy's electical grid.
