RFI Description:
Proposals are hereby solicited from design professionals interested in providing architectural and engineering services for the design and construction of a proposed facility to house the Institute for Energy Efficiency. The Institute for Energy Efficiency (“IEE” or “Institute”) Building will strive to be a zero-net energy building housing research laboratories, research offices and support space and will serve as the hub for energy research activity on the campus. The building will facilitate new opportunities for synergistic collaborations and will be designed to allow experimentation in energy efficiency relating to building materials and design, a key area of research in the Institute. Based on projected needs associated with the expanded work of energy research on the campus, an estimated minimum of 30,000 asf is required to ensure successful operation and growth of the Institute. Although the proposed building will not accommodate the entire Institute’s participating faculty, it will provide space for a core group of approximately 18 faculty, their laboratories, students and post-docs. Although primarily a research facility, the building will also support important educational activities. Specifically, two large (100 occupant) seminar rooms would be available for general instruction and undergraduate energy programs. The building will also be designed around an interior courtyard that will provide a space for convening groups during conferences and seminars. Our goal is a zero-net energy building; as such it will also be a model and a symbol of the work of the Institute and of UCSB’s commitment to energy efficiency. Architectural and Engineering teams must have extensive experience with designing energy efficient buildings, and must demonstrate the ability to be collaborative and flexible as energy efficient technologies will evolve during the process. The anticipated construction budget is in the range of $30 million - $35 million. The planned start of construction is Winter 2014.
