Kiewit Hall Receives ASHRAE Technology Award

Kiewit Hall at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln has been honored with the ASHRAE Nebraska Chapter Technology Award for Institutional Facilities.

The award, which recognizes high-performance engineering and design, was presented at the ASHRAE President’s Lunch on May 22 in Omaha, NE. Designed by Ballinger and Clark & Enersen, Kiewit Hall features dual wheel energy recovery, chilled beams, and a heat pump chiller with geothermal integration to reduce energy usage. These high-efficiency systems work in concert with enhanced ventilation strategies, ample access to daylight, and sustainable material selections to create healthy, comfortable interior environments.
