The UC Davis Veterinary Medicine Research Facility III B is a 76,000 sf, four-story building dedicated to protecting and improving the health of animals, people and the environment. Opened in March 2013, the sustainable design, including TROX active chilled beams, earned a LEED Platinum certification. 

Heating and cooling in laboratory spaces are managed by active chilled beams, reducing the air needed to deliver heating and cooling to the spaces, saving energy.
The $58.5 million facility brings together faculty
and student research teams from a variety of disciplines including Anatomy, Physiology and Molecular Biosciences, among others.Sustainable Design Achievements compared to similar building designed to code:
33% less ongoing energy consumption
96% of construction waste diverted from landfill
disposal
80% less potable water use
