The Ecofibre building is a new 51,000 SF LEED Platinum industrial hemp processing and event space located in Georgetown, Kentucky.
Heating and cooling is being provided for the building via a distributed geothermal heat pump system. Exhaust and make-up air for Class 7 laboratory spaces are precisely controlled to maintain a constant Air Change Per Hour and differential room pressure. Iso 8 cleanrooms were designed to maintain proper particulate count. Plumbing systems include low-flow fixtures and a rainwater/graywater harvesting system.
Electrical systems utilize high-efficiency LED lights and active daylighting control systems paired with Solatubes to minimize energy consumption. 10% percent of the energy consumption on site is provided by a 75 KVA Horizontal & Vertical Photovoltaic array.
