Recognized as one of the fastest growing companies in the United States by Inc. Magazine, NovaCopy has enhanced its product and solution offerings for the Memphis business community showcasing them in a state-of-the-art facility never seen in its industry before.
"With the business growth in the greater Memphis area, we needed a new home, a state-of-the-art facility to showcase the latest and most innovative 3D Printer tech, copiers, and document solutions," said Darren Metz CEO of NovaCopy. "It's truly an amazing building, LEED Gold Certified. No other company in our industry has created such an environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient building. We hope Memphis businesses will stop by for a tour."
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is the green building rating system developed by the United States Green Building Council, a non-profit based in Washington, D.C. The USGBC is the voluntary recognized industry standard for sustainable construction practices. The LEED rating system provides a framework to assist an organization's goal of minimizing building energy and water use, which reduce environmental impacts and increases the indoor environmental quality for the occupants.
Some key/unique features to the building include:
- 27,736 sq. ft. LEED Gold-certified facility
- On-site 50kW roof mounted Solar System
- Participant in TVA's Green Power Provider program
- At least 70 percent of annual electricity usage is off-set by purchasing green-e certified power that is produced from renewable sources
- Recycled pallets lining the walls of the warehouse area
- General area lighting fixtures controlled from a microprocessor-based relay system with time of day and on/off scheduling functions
- Each office has its own HVAC unit
- The warehouse is heated and ventilated for safety – for freeze protection of the sprinkler system in the winter and for carbon monoxide build up year-round – rather than for occupant comfort
- Plumbing system has been designed to achieve a minimum of 40 percent reduction in potable water usage
- By selecting specific vegetation suitable to the regional climate and installing high-efficiency irrigation potable water use for irrigation will be reduced by 52 percent
- Recycling plan for cardboard, paper, plastics, glass, metals and pallets
- LEED building tour to educate visitors on the facilities unique features
- Free meeting space for area businesses
- 3D Printing – Rapid Prototyping – Short Run Distribution Lab
Belz Architecture & Construction was chosen to bring the project to life, creating the LEED facility with visionary themes from NovaCopy's owners as well as concepts from Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece, Fallingwater.
"The NovaCopy project certainly expresses the vision and values of this client," said Tim Garrett, AIA, with Belz Architecture. "The client's progressive and forward-thinking vision combined with their community values are what makes this project successful. We, at Belz Architecture, have been very fortunate to work with clients willing to reach far beyond 'ordinary,' and NovaCopy was no exception. All we did was listen."
NovaCopy Office hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with free cost analysis and two-week office copier and printer system demonstrations available to all area businesses. Customers are encouraged to stop by for a tour of the new facility.
