California Independent Systems Operator Iron Point Headquarters

Project overview

Vanir provided project management services to deliver the new Iron Point headquarters for California Independent Systems Operator (CAISO). This was a very important project for our client and demonstrated the use of local resources and attaining the highest standards of energy efficiency. Originally designed as a LEED Gold project, our team’s recommendation led to the addition of a photovoltaic energy system which elevated the facility to LEED Platinum status.

Vanir worked closely with the entire team to provide the best project management services possible, delivering this state-of-the-art complex ahead of schedule and under budget. The headquarters operates as a reliable and secure building to serve California’s energy needs. It includes an operations complex, a conference and training center and a three-story corporate headquarters.

Your team was very responsive to the ISO’s needs and worked throughout the project in a highly collaborative manner. Particularly noteworthy, was how the Vanir team worked so well with the Clarke Design-Build team and that collaboration was instrumental in keeping the project ahead of schedule and well under budget.
