Hoosier Energy Headquarters

Hoosier Energy identified a need for a new headquarters building through a year-long strategic master plan effort that would pay particular attention to energy usage and consumption. Schmidt Associates produced a plan accommodating their unique business model and designed a modern, prairie-style structure in a heavily wooded site. The prairie elements include long horizontal roof lines, the use of brick masonry as a means of exterior structural expression, and windows in darker colors that visually recede, giving the roof a floating effect. With LED lighting, geothermal heating and cooling, and natural light illumination in workspaces, the modernized building will consume nearly 45 percent less energy than a comparable building of this application and size. The resulting building is LEED Gold certified, delivering on Hoosier Energy’s goals for a headquarters designed around energy use and consumption.
