Tech award goes to Veterans Home

Stantec has received an international award for engineering work on the Washington State Veterans Home in Retsil. The project was one of three that took first place in the technology awards competition sponsored by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers.

The Veterans Home previously earned a Puget Sound Chapter and Northwest Regional Award from ASHRAE.

The Veterans Home is a $48 million, long-term care facility overlooking Puget Sound. Stantec provided mechanical engineering and sustainable design services for the 240-bed complex, working with NBBJ Architects.

Earlier this year, the building earned a LEED gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. Green features include an energy efficient heating and ventilation system, bioswales, recycled building materials and siting that reduced excavation requirements.

The ASHRAE awards recognize innovative design for energy management, indoor air quality and mechanical design.
