Sept 24, 2018--For Immediate Release
DUBUQUE, lowa—The City of Dubuque's Jule Operations and Training Center has
received a 2018 Excellence in Energy Efficient Design Award from the American Institute
of Architects lowa Chapter (AIA lowa). A plaque was awarded during the 2018 AIA lowa
Convention Awards Celebration in Des Moines on Sept. 20.
The Excellence in Energy Efficient Design awards program recognizes outstanding efforts
in reducing energy use. Award candidates are selected from projects whose designers
participated in the Commercial New Construction program offered by Alliant Energy, Black
Hills Energy and MidAmerican Energy Company. The top projects with the highest kBTU
savings percentage in Alliant Energy and MidAmerican Energy's service territory are
selected for an award. The Jule Operation and Training Center's kBTU savings was 49
percent when compared to the Commercial New Construction program baseline.
Construction of The Jule Operations and Training Center, located at 949 Kerper Blvd. in
Dubuque, was completed in late 2017. The facility was constructed reusing a City-owned
brownfield site (the former City of Dubuque Public Works garage) and was designed to
incorporate energy efficiency, water conservation, and a floorplan for improved workflow.
The facility provides storage and maintenance space for the city's Jule public transit buses
and serves as the operations and training headquarters for The Jule.
