Riverfront Professsionals Medical Office Building is awarded LEED Gold status
The Riverfront Professionals Medical Office Building, located near the Tennesse River, was recently awarded LEED Gold status. The three-story 32,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility utilizes an all precast concrete building frame, including thermal efficient precast walls, columns, beams and a double tee floor and roof system. In addition to the precast wall system, the building envelope incorporates insulated metal panels and curtainwall glazing. With the construction of 140 solar panels on the precast concrete roof, the office building boasts once of the largest solar energy systems within Tennessee. In addition, sun shades were used to deflect sunlight during hot months. A white reflective roof that collects rainwater provides irrigation of other areas also contributing to the sustainable nature of this office building.
