Wells Fargo is heading a new expansion in Irving, Texas, with a prominent focus on sustainability. This new campus will be the bank’s first net-positive initiative, allowing the building to generate more electricity than it consumes on an annual basis, creating a self-sustaining system. It will be the first corporate campus of this size in Texas to achieve this milestone.
Telios led the systems sustainability designs and solar energy modeling to help achieve the project’s net-positive goal. By working closely with the owner, Telios created an energy model that generates and predicts the energy consumption of the campus based on various work groups, operational hours, and schedules.
Telios designed the solar array in close coordination with the rest of the design team, exploring different options to fit the panels on-site in a way that allows the campus to achieve its net-positive goal. Through this design, Telios analyzed various solar modules and modeled them at different orientations and tilts to maximize energy production, aiming to meet the goal of an annual campus operation of 5% net-positive energy.
Additionally, our construction team is managing the on-site installation, startup, and commissioning process for this system.
Beyond the commitment to providing a net-positive campus, the facility will incorporate other eco-friendly solutions, including gray water collection systems and native landscaping, aimed at curbing water consumption.
