Integral Group studied the DPR’s plug loads at their old site and took steps to monitor and reduce those loads in the building.

Designed to give occupants full access to daylight, the building uses lighting strategies including solar tubes, skylights with dynamic glazing, and lighting sensors to improve the quality and access of daylight throughout the entirety of the building. This full renovation included the upgrading of mechanical systems, and structural upgrades allowed for the installation of a rooftop photovoltaic array with the capacity to provide enough energy over the course of one year to offset any draw of electricity from the grid that the building may have. Integral Group provided design services for the comprehensive renovation of 945 Front Street – the home of DPR Construction and the first net zero office in San Francisco.
