Yerkes National Primate Research Center Emory Institute for Drug Development

A three story addition to the Neuroscience Building to house the Emory Institute for Drug Development, including vaccine development research laboratories, offices, a nuclear magnetic resonance laboratory, a hydrogenation laboratory, and a radioisotope laboratory. Additionally, replacement of a 225-ton stand-alone chiller with a 600-ton chiller in the Main Building and interconnection piping to chillers in two adjacent buildings. The interconnection provides a single district energy plant that increases redundancy and improves energy performance at part load for the three connected buildings while maintaining a secondary pumping loop for each building. The chiller replacement includes a new primary electrical service, cooling towers, and redesign of pumps and piping to coordinate the three connected chillers. Sustainable features include a run-around heat recovery loop, VAV supply and exhaust for the laboratories, occupied and unoccupied modes for laboratories, and occupancy sensors for lighting.
