Description:

Forrester Construction Achieved the Perfect Balance at ASH.
Click here to see a video to learn how the project team made ASH the first non-profit association in the country to achieve LEED Platinum certification for new construction of a commercial office building larger than 80,000 square feet. 

This project involved the interior build-out of five floors at 2021 L Street for the American Society of Hematology's (ASH) new headquarters and the replacement of the entire HVAC system for the building. 

Many of the construction materials used for the ASH facility were regionally sourced and manufactured using recycled products, including the wood materials, which are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), a nonprofit organization that encourages the use of products harvested using an environmentally responsible method.

The space also includes plenty of natural light, low-flow plumbing and water-efficient showerheads, a motion-sensitive lighting system, low-energy light fixtures, and a building automation system, which will constantly monitor the set points of all mechanical equipment and will adjust to provide consistent and energy efficient operation.
