Walter Reed Community Center
The Walter Reed Community Center houses numerous programs throughout the day and evening, and serves as an Adult Day Health Care Center. The center used more energy than anticipated or desired when it opened in May 2006. In 2008 AIRE funded a forensic engineering study of this building’s performance, and in 2009-2011 we have made improvements to cut energy use nearly in half since 2007.
See the data and information below for more on the energy use and savings associated with this building.
