Xcel Energy plans to start construction next month on a $22.6 million office building at its Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant site in Red Wing.
The three-story, 77,000-square-foot building on plant property would house more than 300 employees and eliminate the need for temporary office trailers currently in use, according to Xcel Energy officials.
Tom Hoen, an Xcel Energy spokesman in Minneapolis, said in an email that the project will break ground in February and the new building will be ready for service in December.
Minneapolis-based Shaw-Lundquist is the building contractor. Minneapolis-based RSP Architects has design duties, and AMEC, a London engineering and project management company with offices in the Twin Cities, is the engineering firm.
Timothy OConnor, Xcels chief nuclear officer, testified before the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission last November that theres not enough capacity in current office buildings at Prairie Island to accommodate projected site staffing levels in 2013 and 2014.
The existing facilities are supplemented by several clusters of temporary office trailers housing various groups, OConnor testified at the Nov. 3 commission meeting.
Xcel also expects to reduce operating costs.
By reducing heating and cooling costs for the trailers and maintaining a single energy-efficient building instead, Xcel expects to save about $22 million over the new buildings lifespan, according to OConnors testimony.

Xcel plans new office building at Prairie Island
Tishman Internationals A2 office building, a 194,000-square-foot, class A office component of the Sofia Airport Center development, has achieved LEED Gold Certification from the USGBC.
SOFIA, BULGARIA-Tishman Internationals A2 office building, a 194,000-square-foot, class A office component of the Sofia Airport Center development, has achieved LEED Gold Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
The recently completed building is a key part of Tishman Internationals 2.1-million-square-foot (210,000-square-meter) commercial, mixed-use development project. The A2 office building is the only LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certified commercial project in Bulgaria, and one of only three office buildings in the Southeastern European region to achieve this level of USGBC certification.
This high level of certification is very rarely achieved in Europe, noted Alan Levy, chairman of Tishman International. Our office building was planned and constructed to meet the requirements of the LEED certification system from the very beginning. Now that it has performed even better and qualified for a higher level of certification than was expected, we are extremely pleased.
The certification has been based on the detailed evaluation of the buildings overall performance and sustainability, including strategies and policies used in planning, construction, operations, and maintenance. Among the many factors considered were energy and water efficiency, interior microclimate, materials and products used in construction, the construction process and waste removal as well as how this information is communicated to building users, and how well the project fits within the local environment.
Among SACs sustainable features are:
* A high-performance, multi-zone VAV heating and cooling system that, combined with a high-performance faade, reduces energy consumption;
* Use of regional and environmentally friendly materials and construction products;
* Use of state-of-the-art energy tracking and analysis technologies that conserve natural resources, provide a healthy, comfortable interior environment, and reduce operating costs;
* Abundant natural daylighting in all tenant areas through open atriums and double-gazed windows;

Heating and cooling bills alone can cause some concern for individuals suffering from financial difficulty. Adding the need for a new unit altogether is typically more than a cause for concern, as it can cause a feeling of fear or panic in those with limited incomes. Following Penn Lives January 3rd article, Emergency Home Heating Grants Are Available for Low-Income People, Arizona HVAC Education urged consumers to seek out any possible grants or financial assistance available for heating and cooling needs. These grants can help homeowners pay professionals with HVAC training for both labor and equipment, allowing homeowners with low incomes to enjoy the wonder of a comfortable, climate-controlled home.
Deb Kiners PennLive.com article revealed the potential grants available to homeowners of low incomes. The grants are awarded based upon financial need, and cover a wide array of issues, including simple equipment fixes, paying utility bills, and replacing a faulty unit. Residents facing service termination or a winter without heating are encouraged to apply.
Heating and cooling bills and equipment can cause concern for many homeownersparticularly those facing the potential replacement of an entire unit. To help combat a feeling of panic for homeowners with low income levels or who are experiencing financial difficulty, many cities and states have developed programs to assist low income families in replacing faulty or malfunctioning heating systems. These programs are need-based and require proof of financial strain, but may prove invaluable for those who qualify. To find qualifications and existing programs, check with local housing authorities.
Deb Kiner has worked as a writer for Penn Live for over 20 years. She has filled numerous roles within the company, including reporter, editor, and paginator. Her work typically focuses on local events, including remembrance columns and consumer reports.
Following Penn Lives revelation regarding home heating grants, HVAC Education urged homeowners to consider seeking out grants and other types of assistance from local entities while under financial duress. Upon discovering that ones heating has gone out, the stress of finding a reliable professional with adequate HVAC training and the money to pay said professional can lead to extreme anxiety and, in extreme cases, extreme fear. To alleviate both, many cities and states are developing programs to help homeowners in need of home repairs, including those needing HVAC repairs or replacements. To find grants or assistance in their area, homeowners should contact the local housing authority.
About HVACED.com: HVACED.com or Arizona HVAC Education is an online resource for consumers and students of the HVAC industry alike, offering news about the industry itself, and tips and advice for those seeking HVAC assistance.
