Melink called upon emersion DESIGN to assist them in developing green infrastructure and strategies toward achieving Net Zero Energy. The emersion DESIGN team analyzed the building through thermal imagery, electric utility usage, and peak load consumption to develop strategies towards achieving Net Zero Energy. Accumulating over 40 different energy reduction strategies, emersion DESIGN created a practical approach to retrofit their space and put these sustainable ideas in motion. Furthermore, emersion worked with operations to reduce the amount of time their dock doors were open.

After the assessments and implementations on the exterior, Melink called upon emersion DESIGN once again to update their interiors. This second phase consisted of new vestibules entries, and renovations which enclosed their staircases and stopped thermal bridging. Moreover, emersion installed interior storm windows and a second-glass skin which drastically improved the energy conservation of the building.

Since then, Melink has been named the "33rd Greenest Building in the World" and is one of the only Net-Positive Energy commercial retrofits on the planet. The final product not only enhances the quality of interaction one has with the office space but also uses less energy (16.7 EUI) than the average vacant building in our country (20.1 EUI).
