8.3.4 Innovative systems integration: under-floor air

There are a growing number of LEED™ Silver, Gold and Platinum projects that have demonstrated measurable energy benefits as well as reduced absenteeism, quicker attraction rates and better perceived health. The difficulty lies is determining which elements of the building contributed most significantly to those gains—access to the natural environment, high-performance equipment, higher quality materials and finishes or better coordination of the professional disciplines to create a more sustainable building. As we strive for innovation in buildings to ensure health and productivity, organisational and technological flexibility and environmental sustainability it will be critical to tease out the importance of quality in each building subsystem and system integration. To this end, one systems integration innovation, the use of under-floor air to ensure task air for each individual, has demonstrated life-cycle benefits.
