WASHINGTON, D.C. – DPR Construction’s Washington, D.C. area office will debut its new Reston, Virginia, location in spring 2016. Relocating from Falls Church, Virginia, DPR will complete the 20,000-square-foot renovation with plans to achieve Net Zero Energy Building Certification from the International Living Future Institute.
DPR, along with Architect, SmithGroupJJR, plan to include a new front entrance, multiple skylights, area for a large training room, exercise space, an open-plan workplace, highly efficient mechanical systems, the latest in LED lighting technology and solar panels to achieve energy independence.
DPR has previously completed four net-zero energy projects across the country, three of which are DPR offices. The Reston office would be one of the first commercial private sector projects in the D.C. Metro area targeting certification through ILFI Net Zero Energy Certification.
