The system is designed to provide enhanced IAQ
BOSTON — Boston Properties Inc., a real estate investment trust, and co-development partner, Hines, announced that Salesforce Tower is now the tallest building in San Francisco. It surpassed the Transamerica Pyramid at 853 feet when it reached 867 feet. The building will continue to grow until it reaches 1,070 feet, at which time it will be the tallest office building west of Chicago.
The building features an HVAC system that will distribute outdoor air to each floor. The unique, underfloor air delivery system circulates air directly to tenants’ spaces and features individual control capability. This system is designed to provide enhanced IAQ and is part of an HVAC system that is designed to be up to 40 percent more energy efficient than those used in standard office buildings.
