Hunter Holmes McGuire Veterans Affairs Medical Center
Richmond, Virginia
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
The McGuire VA Medical Center has participated in a Veterans Affairs energy
monitoring program for the past 20 years. The 2,000,000 square foot building,
which earned an Energy Star score of 95, underwent upgrades including replacement
of lighting with T-8 lamps, replacement of a chiller with a high efficiency unit,
replacement of steam traps with improved units, and replacement of boiler controls
with energy-efficient units. These projects have resulted in significant improvements
in the facility’s energy savings.

Showcase Facility Award
Herbert H. Bateman Educational and Administrative Center
U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, Virginia
The construction of the Center will eliminate nearly $800,000 in backlog maintenance
needs by replacing five inadequate buildings with the new facility. Much of
the currently occupied land will revert to wildlife uses, and xeriscaping and onsite
wastewater recycling will lead to reduced site disturbance. The project utilized
daylighting and energy-efficient lighting as well as geothermal heat pumps and
rapidly renewable building materials.
