This data is tracked and used by the city to understand how buildings are currently performing and to better understand a buildings progress year over year.

33 South Sixth, also known as, City Center, is a 50 story 1.2 million square foot office building located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We have been involved in the Energy Star tracking and certification for many years. We have also provided mechanical and electrical engineering services to maintain the sustainability requirements. Our team helped 33 South Sixth achieve LEED Gold certification by showcasing an automatic lighting control system, occupancy sensors in the emergency exit stairwell, VFDs to control all HVAC equipment and additional dampers on main air handlers to improve HVAC control and supply. The operations team also replaced two outdated chillers, two outdated cooling towers and inefficient light bulbs with LED lighting. Knowledgeable staff who prioritize sustainability have been critical in advancing these efforts. Additional improvements will occur as part of Shorenstein’s public commitment to reducing energy use 20% by 2020.
