NEW PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) ENERGY SYSTEM IS PART OF LANTZ-BOGGIO’S DESIGN FOR THE U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY'S VANDENBERG HALL REMODEL

Installation of this 174 kW thin film amorphous silicon PV system is a first for the Air Force Academy and will help the Academy meet sustainable energy goals which is a direct response to the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) 2005. This installation is a part of a multi-million dollar renovation of the 950,000 SF Vandenberg Hall which was one of the original buildings in the USAFA campus. Lantz-Boggio Architects planned this renovation in multiple phases over several years. This cutting-edge technology roof-integral system features 98% efficient inverters and comes with a single source, 25-year warranty that includes the roof membrane and PV system. The roof is a Poly Methyl Methacrylate by Soprema and is installed by JBlanco Enterprises, a Denver 8(a) MBE/SBE/WBE/DBE firm. The total cost of the PV system is estimated to be paid back in energy savings in only 17 years. This is another highly innovative sustainable design by Lantz-Boggio Architects. Current plans are to provide other Cadet Area buildings with similar PV systems to generate additional renewable power to help the Air Force Academy meet their net-zero electricity goal by 2015.
