Thermal Performance of the Norris Cotton Federal Building in Manchester, New Hampshire

T. E. Richtmyer / W. B. May / C. M. Hunt / J. E. Hill

The Norris Cotton Federal Office Building is a medium-size 7-story government office building. It is located in Manchester, New Hampshire and has been designed to demonstrate a number of energy saving concepts. Some of the major energy conserving features of the building are the use of solar collectors; heavy masonry construction with exterior insulation; small overall window area; heat recovery from heat pumps, chillers, a natural gas-powered engine/generator, and the ventilation system; modular boilers; thermal storage tanks; and a variety of energy conserving lighting systems. The staff of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) has been monitoring the performance of the building since it was occupied in September, 1976. This paper describes the building's thermal performance for the first three years of operation.
