With a vision of achieving LEED certification for their building, along with the sustainability and recognition that accompany it, management of Ali’i Place asked Chelsea Group to provide structured, cost-effective support to work through the LEED Certification for Existing Buildings preparation and application process.
A
global financial company with real estate holdings and asset
management services faced the challenge of developing a strategy
that would maximize the effectiveness of its investment in
sustainability for its portfolio of approximately 160 properties.
LEED

upgrades or a project's LEED-EB EA and EQ credits.
The
World Trade Center Tower 7 is the first building in the complex to
be rebuilt following the events of September 11, 2001. The
developer, Silverstein Properties, is committed to Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for all
elements of the project. Chelsea Group was brought on to the LEED
team to assist with indoor environmental issues and construction
process management.
Chelsea
Group was requested by the owner of a twenty-seven story high rise
office building, originally constructed in the 1970s, to review in
detail all of the mechanical projects identified in their 5-year
capital expense budget. Approximately 20 different improvements were
anticipated, but the owner desired an independent review of the
projects listed by their property management firm for
appropriateness and cost justification.
During
tenant improvement renovations at a commercial office building
located in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, the general contractor
discovered mold growth in several locations in the building. The
tenant contacted Chelsea Group to conduct a visual observation of
the facility with special consideration to areas with reported
biological growth, perimeter spaces, and the exterior building
envelope.
Chelsea
Groups building energy analysis provides managers with a baseline
report that identifies energy conservation measures (ECMs) and
evaluates the potential investment, energy cost savings, and
resulting cost/benefit of implementing each of those ECMs. The
report includes preliminary estimates of utility rebates for each
measure or group of measures.
The
multi-building campus of the Louisiana State University (LSU) Health
Sciences Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, was one of the many
properties impacted by the storm and floods of Hurricane Katrina.
Though the Health Sciences Center buildings survived, they required
extensive cleaning and remediation.
The
University of Hawaii Manoa campus suffered a flash flood late at
night on October 30, 2004. Chelsea Group joined the flood recovery
project team in November 2004 to provide verification of clean-up,
technical assistance on indoor environmental air quality issues, and
support for building start-up.
The
Contemporary Arts Center, located at 900 Camp Street in New Orleans,
Louisiana, sustained heavy wind and rain damage during Hurricane
Katrina. The northwest and southwest corners of the roof were
heavily torn, and all of the skylights and many of the windows were
blown out. The result was heavy rainwater entry through these
openings, which caused the majority of water damage to the building.
The
University Center is an 18-story Superdorm that houses 1700
students from four colleges. During the construction phase, a
shipment of fan-coil units arrived at the site before the building
exterior was completed. They were subjected to the elements, and
unfortunately became wet during a storm.
Chelsea
Group offers its floodwater Contamination Scene Investigation (CSI)
program to use the right combination of sampling and analytical
techniques to determine the source of water intrusion in a building.
After
the raging fire on the 29th and 30th floors of the LaSalle Bank
building in downtown Chicago on December 6, 2004 was extinguished, a
tenant on a lower floor felt the residual effects caused by water
damage from putting out the fire. Chelsea Group was brought in a few
weeks after the fire occurred to determine the condition of the
tenants space following the disaster recovery.
