US Embassy in Dushanbe, Tajikistan

Design for this new embassy complex incorporated stringent state-of-the-art HVAC requirements and high-level security measures. The project included an approximately 61,000 SF, 4-story office building, and numerous support buildings, including an approximately 5,000 SF Marine Guard Quarters, an approximately 10,000 SF warehouse, guard houses and a central utilities building that houses a central boiler/chiller plant and a full-coverage dual generator system. The project was design-build and of modular construction and included nearly 300 modules manufactured in the United States and transported by sea and overland by rail to the Dushanbe project site.

The Guest House Raleigh

This 1880s Folk Victorian House was originally home to the Gorham family in the Prince Hall Historic District in downtown Raleigh. Mr. Gorham was Raleigh's first African-American mailman and his wife was a teacher. When the house was threatened with demolition due to downtown development, the new owners moved it 6 blocks to its current location on Bloodworth Street and renovated it into Raleigh's first boutique hotel. Loring provided MEP design services for the modification of the historic home and the modern addition, and turned this historic home into a bed and breakfast. In addition to designing and recommending HVAC system types and locations, Loring assisted with sizing the electrical service and made recommendations for the required life safety systems. Loring also provided design for the required gas service for the kitchen, fireplaces, and outdoor amenity space.

Smithsonian Institution Building (the Castle)

The Castle Constructed between 1847 and 1855 and designed by James Renwick, Jr., the Castle is the museum system's oldest building. Serving as the public's doorway to and the symbol of the Smithsonian Institution, the Castle is home to administrative offices and a visitor information center. The modernization work will preserve the building's picturesque exterior silhouette while restoring the principal interior spaces to their early 20th-century splendor and architectural significance. The team will also completely replace the building systems, upgrade windows, and provide structural reinforcement to protect against seismic events. New Central Utility Plant The project also includes a large below-grade addition to provide space for a new central utility plant that will supply the Castle and AIB and allow for future connection to other Smithsonian museums on South Campus. The addition will expand the existing loading facilities and include new spaces for critical support areas to serve the Castle and AIB. Infrastructure for storage, maintenance, and modern mechanical equipment will be located in the below-ground space so visitors can enjoy these historic buildings as they were intended.

Princeton University ORFE Building

This new academic building houses computer-intensive spaces as well as a lecture hall, classrooms, and offices. Sustainable design techniques were investigated and implemented in accordance with Princeton University's Sustainable Design Standard & USGBC's LEED Green Building Standards. The use of a high-performance building envelope, daylight harvesting systems, highly efficient equipment, and demand control ventilation resulted in a building that uses 33% less energy on a cost basis when compared to American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 90.1-2004 Baseline Model Building.

The Pennington Elementary School's Kenneth Kai Tai Yen Humanities Building

This new academic building comprising classrooms, a forum/lecture hall, and conference rooms included an emergency generator and air-cooled chillers, energy recovery ventilator units, and fan coil units with dual-temperature water system. Services included energy modeling for LEED Certification and Fundamental Commissioning of the mechanical and electrical systems. The building was awarded LEED Gold Certification in March 2016.
