Kellogg House Living Building Challenge

Williamstown, Massachusetts | Williams College

D&K provided electrical design for the renovation of a circa-1794, newly relocated, 14,000-SF academic building that housed the Center for Environmental Studies at Williams College. This was a “Living Building Challenge” project, constructed to be one of six in the country seeking “Living” status from the International Living Future Institute. The goal was for the building to attain net-zero energy consumption. Lighting energy consumption was designed to be less than .3 watts per square foot while still achieving high-level lighting performance. Monitoring of energy consumption included indoor-outdoor lighting, heating, cooling, ventilation, pumps for water supply and purification, plug loads, kitchen appliances, domestic hot water, wastewater treatment, and photovoltaic production.
