Sweet Home Middle School was one of the first schools in the region to provide air-conditioned classrooms.  As part of this growth, the district identified the need to provide energy-efficient buildings with the latest innovation.  The district was in an area with a growing population and building new schools to meet the demand. The community recognized that the buildings would be used for many years and wanted to make sure they were constructed in a way that would reduce their environmental impact.

Stark Tech worked with the Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) to complete a design assist for the renovation of the Herb Brooks Area. Our team worked with the engineer on the project along with our manufacturing partners to develop an efficient design and solution that provided NHL approved conditions in the arena. The team selected and installed VTS Air Handlers and Air2o Dehumidifiers to meet temperature and humidity requirements while also improving energy efficiency.     

AdventHealth is a non-profit healthcare system headquartered in Altamonte Springs, Florida, and operates facilities in nine states across the United States. Stark Tech has been working with AdventHeath for more than a decade. We learned early in our partnership that AdventHealth is a forward-thinking organization that understands the importance of investing in building technologies and how it has a great impact on lowering operating expenses.  

Kistler, a Stark Tech company, recommended to the owner and engineer a field built solution by Air Enterprise SiteBilt. Each piece and shipping crate was designed to fit through the half moon opening. The Air Enterprises site supervisor guided onsite labor to erect the unit in place. Each of the
100% outside air units measured 7.5’ X 35’ X 16.5 to fit exacting space constraints.

In 2019, the U.S. Airforce sought to expand its fleet of MQ-Reaper drones at the site by sending an extra four aircrafts, two mobile ground control stations, and new training equipment to the base. With the expansion of this program, the base required updates to its main control center to support the additional equipment. A large data room was needed to handle the program’s remote monitoring needs.

In October of 2022, the South Terminal Complex officially opened to the public. It was critical from the start of this project that we kept sustainability and energy efficiency in mind. This project continues to stay in compliance with LEED Energy and Atmosphere (EA) Prerequisite: Develop a breakdown of energy consumption at one month-intervals and report on data to the U.S. Green Building Council for a 5-year period.
