Government Office Buildings
IRS Kansas City
As the IRS required over one million square feet of programming space, the biggest challenge for the project team was creating an economically efficient, environmentally responsible, healthy building while the major energy performance goal was to design the building to accomodate IRS’s peak seasons, when more space is needed, without operating a
mostly empty building year-round.
"Say I have a work group that needs to move its desks 3' feet in order to improve efficiencies. In a standard building, that might literally set 50 people right on top of the registers that were built for the area. With the UFAD system, we can lift up the floor tiles in that area and move the air diffuser below (which is actually a full VAV
box) to where we need it in the floor. In a short period of time, we can reconfigure the registers to get the best air distribution
for the new furniture configuration."
-Joseph R. Campfield, Director of Building Operations

installation. The concept is based on the design for another
Tate project, the Infonet building.
