Larsen Engineers was responsible for site design and MEP services
for the 5,500 SF lodge at the YMCA Greenkill camp site.
Larsen also provided survey and mapping services for the new
lodge site.
LEED™ certification is being sought for the project; the
design is based on obtaining maximum LEED™ points; Larsen
will be providing LEED™ documentation. Larsen Engineers

Subsurface storm water infiltration; and water conservation
measures such as low-flow showers and sensorcontrolled, low-flow
faucets. Also, use of recycled material, such as recycled concrete,
as select fill; and use of fly ash in concrete.
Part of the mechanical systems work included ondemand hot water
heaters; geothermal heat pumps (part of the geothermal loop);
and Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs).
Other design work included: radiant floor heating; LED lights;
soil insulation; passive cooling; solar orientation; and dual
flush toilets.
