This paper provides an overview of the methods used to conserve energy at the Oak Park Public Works Center in Oak Park, Illinois, which led to an energy savings of 32.7% beyond ASHRAE 90.1-1999. The Oak Park Public Works Center is currently awaiting final review on its submission for LEED Silver certification. First, the paper discusses the reduction of the air volume provided to the vehicle storage and maintenance garage through the use of contaminant sensors. The paper then discusses heat recovery utilized at the facility and the unique conditions that led to the decision to use a plate and frame air-to-air heat exchanger.
