This four-bay, air conditioned, mission-critical LEED Gold certified hangar in Italy saves costs while ensuring mission readiness.
Description
This new maintenance and operations complex features a two-bay hangar that is capable of enclosing and protecting four aircraft. The bays are divided to control the indoor environment, ensuring that two aircraft remain in a launch-ready state. The necessity for constant aircraft readiness requires that the hangar bays have full HVAC conditioning and dehumidification, which increases the facility's energy load. To address this, the design incorporated energy-efficient strategies, saving approximately $144,700 per year.
The two-story airfield facility is operational 24/7 and is classified as mission critical. Operations are supported with classified storage, protected communications, secure work areas, a SCIF vault, intrusion detection and antiterrorism/force protection measures.
LEED Gold certified. Project goal was LEED Silver. Exceeded client goals at no additional cost to the Government.
