Annual energy savings due to KCP&L’s energy reduction strategies
BNIM’s design for the LEED Gold KCP&L Headquarters demonstrates the ability to introduce high performance, integrated design into an existing office tower. The move into 230,000 square feet of existing downtown office space serves as a powerful example to other building and business owners. The design decisions made at KCP&L will also make the space more cost effective to operate. The strategies focus heavily on optimal HVAC and workstation configuration. | |

Reduction in back orders and new orders are fulfilled 60% faster
The Bannister Federal Building has long provided warehouse space for government services. BNIM’s adaptive reuse of a portion of this space from warehouse into office space incorporates a skylight atrium and circulation corridor, which provides light to a shared conferencing center and the offices of the Federal Supply Service. The FSS reports that employees from other parts of the building are seeking out the amenity of the atrium and its own employees have increased capacity.

Reduction in absenteeism
The LEED Platinum Lewis and Clark State Office Building is another example of how high-performance building strategies can increase employee performance.
