The Electronic Arts Phase II building (EAII) serves as the headquarters for Electronic Arts, a video game developer located outside San Francisco. It was completed in 2002. The building is 350,000 ft² (32 515 m²),four stories tall, and includes offices, an atrium, cafeteria, child care center, and auditorium. There is nothing particularly “sexy” about the mechanical system—no thermal storage tanks or ground-coupled heat rejection. Yes, it has many state-of-the-art features such as underfl oor air distribution and a primary-only, variable fl ow, chilled water plant, but this is not why EAII earned an ASHRAE Technology Award.
