Originally built more than 50 years back, 435 Indioway is a single-story tilt-up in Sunnyvale, California that was renovated to achieve net-zero energy. This tenant-occupied office building incorporates innovative design strategies for climate-response as well as occupant wellness while reducing costs by as much as $100.83/sft as compared to similar code-minimum buildings. This energy-efficient building in fact exceeds its design goals and supplies energy back to the grid. 435 Indio Way’s most outstanding feature is that it’s cooled by passive strategies alone, with a backup HVAC system that is 22% smaller than conventional systems.
