The Intel CH-8 Research & Development Facility is located on Intel’s Chandler, AZ campus. The two-story, 284,845 SF building will house new circuit board manufacturing tools plus ancillary support areas. The building envelope utilizes windows with low-E glazing and both wall and roof systems have high composite R-values. Photovoltaic (solar) arrays generate renewable energy on-site. In addition, Intel Corporation is the #1 purchaser of renewable energy credits in the U.S. annually, entering into green power purchase agreements far exceeding the power usage of CH-8. The building includes a low window-to-wall ratio, high-efficiency mechanical equipment, thermal recovery systems, high efficiency lighting systems, and low-flow plumbing fixtures. The sustainable strategies integrated into the design and construction of the project allowed the CH-8 facility to earn LEED Gold level certification.
