Additional Info
Award Winner : Ramtech Building Systems, Inc.
Architectural Excellence : This pre-owned vehicle sales office provides ten private rooms for the company’s managers, sales agents, and support staff, 950 square feet of open customer lounge and waiting area, and two restrooms. As a sales office for higher-end pre-owned autos in a high-profile auto mall directly off a major thoroughfare, curb appeal was very important to the owner. Ramtech’s design team developed an exterior look utilizing horizontal high-rib steel siding, and a combination of both painted stucco-embossed and smooth HardiePanel siding. The installation of larger windows was also used to enhance and provide a more attractive front elevation for the building.
Cost Energy Effectiveness : Payne While no sustainable rating system was applied, the owner did desire to incorporate as many sustainable features as their budget would allow. The building is designed for compliance with the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code. Insulation values incorporated into the structure were R-30 for the floors, R-19 for the walls and R-30 for the roof. An Energy Star ™ white TPO single ply membrane roofing material was used to aid in heat reflectivity. The HVAC system consists of a zoned high EER self-contained 208V, 3-phase high efficiency spilt system able to handle the high latency conditions for the south Texas coastal region. The digital HVAC controls provides for a four-zone seven-day setback feature. The domestic hot water is provided by point-of-use electric units.
