The Ferreira Group, 31 Tannery Road


	The Ferreira Companies completed the construction of our new headquarters building in 2006. This 42,000 ft. building was designed in-house and the systems were commissioned by personnel now employed by The Ferreira Group. The building includes a 223 kW solar photovoltaic system, solar domestic hot water, nine miles of radiant heat, high performance rooftop HVAC units, a 96% efficient condensing boiler, an integrated web-based direct digital controls (DDC) system and pervasive voice/ data/video system with kiosks that display the Noveda Technology (www.noveda.com), developed by The Ferreira Companies to monitor in real time, the performance of the PV array and the total energy use of the facility. In 2007, the building was officially recognized as the First Net-Zero Electric Commercial Building in the United States. In July of 2008 we celebrated our second consecutive year of being net-zero electric. The building won a series of energy efficiency awards and distinctions, including: • 2007 New Jersey Clean Energy Leader - NJ Board of Public Utilities • 2007 Environmental Quality Award - New Jersey Business and Industry Association • Energy Star Perfect 100 Score (2007 and 2008) - U.S. Department of Energy • First building in NJ to meet NJ Executive Order 54
