1 LEED Certification Strategy INTRODUCTION This document outlines the LEED Certification strategy for the proposed new Seniors Lodge to replace the existing Autumn Glen lodge and Poplar Grove Court Senior self-contained units located centrally in the Town of Innisfail. The information contained herein includes forwardlooking statements that may alter as design progresses, in response to changing Owner requirements, political or economic factors, or other parameters outside the control of the Design Team. PROJECT OVERVIEW The new 60-unit SL1 and SL2 lodge combined with a 30-unit Senior Self-contained facility, will be built to B3 building code occupancy standards (2014). The SL1 and SL2 -lodge units will have six one-bedroom units and 54 standard lodge units. The 3-story building shall have a core area with ASHC-specified elements including a kitchen, café and lounge, family dining area, activity room, and laundry. Offices, boardroom, storage, and accessible washrooms will complete the central area, with private living suites to the east. Each floor will include a craft room/reading room, multi purpose function area, dining area, hair dressing room, laundry, assisted bath and storage rooms. The Lodge will also provide outdoor access to landscaped courtyards and other ambient features. The building will be owned by (Alberta Senior Housing Corporation (ASHC) and managed by the Parkland Foundation Housing Management Body (HMB) and the Bethany Group as a contracted facility operator. The design and construction of the facility will apply sustainable building strategies of the LEEDv4 Building Design & Construction (BD+C) Rating System. The project team has committed to achieving a LEED Silver certification level, and to following an integrated project planning and design (IPPD) framework guided by the Whole System Integrated Design Process (WSIP) standard of practice. The LEEDv4 Rating System was selected as an appropriate pilot for expressing sustainable design, construction and operational commitment for this building type. This document captures key planning, design, construction, verification and lifecycle features to be undertaken towards the goal of LEEDv4 Silver Certification for the facility. Green Building Objectives Best management practices in green building design and construction include but are not limited to: Indoor air quality protection Occupant comfort and control Reduced energy and water consumption Natural daylighting and connection to the outdoors Limited site disturbance and integration with the surrounding environment Natural landscaping and stormwater management strategies Climate resilient and durable building Ease of operations Desired destination and sense of place in the community 97

2 LEED Certification Strategy INTEGRATED PROJECT PLANNING & DESIGN STRATEGY LEED is used as a green compass for sustainable building design, construction and operations. LEED Certification provides assurance that a building shall provide operational efficiency, environmental performance, and occupant enjoyment throughout its lifecycle. A successful green building relies on continued communication and partnership aligned towards a common vision or idea. The delivery of this project will be driven by an integrated design process (IDP). IDP methodology promotes an interactive design culture that actively engages participants and encourages feedback from all team and stakeholders in a participatory and integrative conversation. LEED Scorecard While the LEED Rating System is structured so that achievement of all credits is not possible, the Team shall achieve all Prerequisites and a minimum of 50 LEED Credits from the following categories: 1. Location & Linkages 2. Sustainable Sites 3. Water Efficiency 4. Energy & Atmosphere 5. Materials & Resources 6. Indoor Environmental Quality 7. Innovation in Design 8. Regional Priority Site review, client feedback, and design team meeting discussions informed specific LEED Credit categories. Credits evaluated as achievable were noted as Targeted(Y) while resource intensive or undetermined strategies were noted as Potential(?) for further discussion. Drawings, satellite imagery, and physical inspection of the project location identified prohibitive conditions related to municipal infrastructure and geography. Related Credits were identified as Not Pursued(N). From this, a LEED Scorecard (Appendix I) was assembled capturing Credit opportunities for the project. The initial count of 53 points was within the range of for LEED Silver. The Scorecard will provide an compliance and benchmarking tool throughout the project, and will continue to be updated following project meetings, and in response to Client feedback. The attached LEED Certification Plan contains a breakdown of Targeted, Potential and Not Pursued LEED Credits. LEED Process Integration A LEED Road Map will be provided to all team members detailing roles, responsibilities, tasks, timelines, documentation and execution requirements to achieve each Credit and Prerequisite. The LEED Map will be reviewed by the Design Team, and updated and issued as required. This project will be registered with the CaGBC and registered in LEED Online. LEED Online will provide a collaborative, online project interface to ensure efficiency, responsiveness, and a high degree of team integration. SUSTAINBILITY PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT LEED project compliance shall be regularly monitored by the LEED Consultant, and corrective actions undertaken as necessary, throughout design and construction. Administrative and process reviews will be documented and communicated by the LEED Consultant to the Design Team at monthly site meetings. Identified gaps or issues shall be addressed by the LEED Consultant and brought into conformance with the LEED Certification Plan. 98

3 LEED Certification Strategy Sustainable Design Controls The Design Team shall ensure achievement of LEED Certification by applying an integrated design process or IDP. IDP is a recognized strategy which allows feedback and expertise from design and construction disciplines to be proactively implemented into a project to achieve increasing levels of building performance. This process includes the monthly review of the LEED Road Maps and the LEED Certification Plan as noted above. IDP will promote detailed design discussions to identify and adopt synergies to reduce energy, water and resources across disciplines and building systems. Beginning in conceptual design and continuing throughout the contract document phase, the green building performance analysis will involve elements of discovery and implementation related to site context, owner requirements, occupant usage, and other operational parameters. The Design Team shall design efficient building systems and components that contribute to reduced energy and water consumption, while ensuring occupant comfort and a high quality indoor environment. Compliance reviews shall be undertaken for the following design elements: Design Drawings o Site Plans (assess opportunities to achieve Location & Linkages and Sustainable Sites Credits) o Floor Plans (assess compliance to Indoor Environmental Quality Credits) o Landscaping Plan (assess compliance with Sustainable Sites and Water Efficiency Credits) o Mechanical and Electrical Drawings, Plans and Briefs (assess compliance to Energy & Atmosphere, Water Efficiency, and Indoor Environmental Quality Credits and Prerequisites) Building Energy Model Photometric Plan Daylight Simulation Thermal Comfort Assessment Stormwater Management Plan Calculations to support Mechanical, Electrical and Civil design, related to LEED Credits Energy Model An energy model shall be developed to drive achievement of 10 points under LEEDv4 Credit EA Optimize Energy Performance. Informed by a review of the drawings and technical requirements, the energy simulation shall ensure appropriate design measures are implemented in order to meet requisite energy efficiency targets and the energy performance target. The energy model shall be performed by a qualified energy modeler. Sensitivity analysis shall be used to evaluate potential energy efficiency measures, comparing assemblies and technologies in relation to capital costs, energy cost saving, and payback periods. Selected electrical and mechanical systems shall integrate with the building control system, to facilitate effective, long-term facility operation and lifecycle utility savings. Renewable energy options will be evaluated for payback periods, and tied into protocols for commissioning, energy metering, and building education. 99

4 LEED Certification Strategy Water Systems Design The integrated design process will involve a preliminary water budget analysis to explore potential reductions in potable water consumption. Aspects of building water use, including occupant consumption patterns and landscape requirements, will inform fixture selection and opportunities for sub-metering and reducing demand. Lighting Systems Design & Light Quality Lighting systems shall be designed to optimize use of natural lighting, supported by energy efficient fixtures and controls. Window sizing and placement shall be configured to take advantage of natural daylight. Selection of energy efficient fixtures and lighting controls such as occupancy and daylight sensors, will minimize energy usage and consumption from non-plug loads. Interior surfaces shall be selected based on contribution to passive light distribution throughout the space. Finish selections will favour surfaces and materials that disperse light and reduce lighting densities. Light colour and reflective finishes shall be selected for areas such as ceilings, raised surfaces and transitional spaces, to prevent issue of glare and heat gain, while maximizing light transmission within occupied areas. Indoor Environmental Quality In addition to lighting quality and control, thermal comfort conditions play a key factor in occupant comfort and enjoyment of their space. Careful attention to thermal quality standards will influence design to maximize occupant satisfaction with interior air and surface temperatures. Provision of quality views to the exterior will ensure that each resident can benefit from the physiological and phycological impact that a visual connection to the outdoors provides. Interior Design & Finishing Careful attention will be paid to the specification and selection of healthy, sound-attenuating interior finishes and finishing components. Combined with a robust construction air quality protection plan, environmentally responsible finish selection will deliver a combination of health benefits through reductions in off-gassing of materials, long-term exposure to chemical substances, and creation of an acoustically benign environment. Sustainable Construction Controls The LEED Consultant shall orient and work with the General Contractor to achieve sustainable building best management practices throughout construction, in addition to complying with applicable environmental regulatory requirements. Construction personnel shall coordinate construction LEED documentation, submittals, photos, reports and general site monitoring, with support and quality control by the LEED Consultant. Construction operational controls shall include: 1. Incorporation of LEED requirements in the Construction Specification (LEED Specification) 2. Provision of LEED support, training and guidance to subtrades 3. Sourcing environmentally-responsible and compliant materials as per Specification 4. Monitor and document compliance to LEED Construction Plans: Indoor Air Quality Management Plan, Erosion & Sedimentation Control Plan, and Construction Waste Management Plan 100

5 LEED Certification Strategy 5. Coordinate with Commissioning Agent and Mechanical Consultant to ensure site controls are in place prior to execution of commissioning activities and pre-occupancy IAQ Management Strategy (Air Testing) Compliance reviews shall be undertaken for the following construction elements: Construction Specifications o Construction Waste Management o Site Housekeeping o Erosion & Sedimentation Control o Indoor Environmental Quality o No Smoking Policy o VOC-compliant product selection Erosion & Sedimentation Control Plan Waste Management Plan Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Management Plan Construction LEED Toolsuite The LEED Consultant shall provide to the General Contractor a LEED Toolsuite consisting of LEED site procedures, submittal forms, tracking spreadsheets, and compliance monitoring report templates. Compliance monitoring activities for Construction Waste Management, Erosion and Sedimentation Control, and Indoor Air Quality Management, shall include photographs and written reports as per specified LEED requirements. The LEED Toolsuite shall be utilized by the Contractor for ease of review, approval, monitoring and tracking of associated LEED construction elements (materials, systems and processes) throughout the project. All documents are protected and controlled, and shall be maintained in hard copy and in secure electronic project management systems by the LEED Consultant and the Contractor as specified. LEED SUBMITTAL TO CAGBC At construction completion, the LEED Consultant shall conduct a final LEED quality assurance audit of all LEED Submittal documentation, including: drawings, calculations, LEED Letter Templates, narratives, product submittals, photographs, monitoring reports, and other supporting information. The complete LEED Submittal Package will be provided electronically to the CaGBC within the prescribed timeline from Substantial Completion. The LEED Consultant shall manage documentation, clarifications, audits and communications throughout the LEED Certification process, including notification to the Client of Project LEED Submittal, receipt of CaGBC Review Responses, and ultimately, LEEDv4 Silver Certification. 101

The project landscape will be designed to restore at least 30% of the site with native or adaptive vegetation. 1 OPEN SPACE C The project will provide outdoor vegetated space greater than or equal to 30% of the total site area. 104

9 2 1 RAINWATER MANAGEMENT C Civil calculations will determine whether at least 95 th percentile (2 points) or 98 th percentile (3 points) of the annual rainfall events can be managed on site by vegetation and other low-impact development strategies. Focus will be given to utilizing vegetated areas as biorientation features to allow absorption and infiltration of stormwater on site. 2 HEAT ISLAND REDUCTION C Roof and non-roof options will be utilized to provide reflective, shaded and vegetated surfaces to reduce heat island effect. Light coloured materials and providing shading through vegetation will be considered. 1 LIGHT POLLUTION REDUCTION C Site lighting design will adhere to night sky protection measures including: meeting uplight and light trespass requirements. The electrical engineer will provide a photometric plan (vertical illuminance calculations). Special attention will be paid to the lighting provided in the southwest corner where the receiving area is near the property line. WATER EFFICIENCY Y OUTDOOR WATER USE REDUCTION P No irrigation will be provided this complies with Option 1. The landscape will also be designed to require no irrigation system beyond a 2-year establishment period.

All toilets, showerheads and private lavatory faucets shall be WaterSense labelled or equivalent. Y BUILDING LEVEL WATER METERING P A permanent water meter (measuring total potable water use for the building and site) will be installed. 2 OUTDOOR WATER USE REDUCTION P No irrigation system will be provided. The landscape will also be designed to reduce outdoor water use. 105

10 2 1 3 INDOOR WATER USE REDUCTION C Further incremental reduction in potable water use will be targeted. A minimum 30% (2 points) will be targeted through water efficient fixture selection. 35% = 3 points, 40% = 4 points, 45% = 5 points, 50% = 6 points. 2 COOLING TOWER WATER USE C A one-time potable water analysis will not be conducted as the facility will not have a cooling tower or evaporative condenser in which to limit cooling cycles and associated blowdown of chemical concentrates. 1 WATER METERING C Submeters may be provided for specified uses including domestic hot water boiler and process water (laundry, kitchen). At least 2 uses must be sub-metered. This strategy will be further analysed and determined in conjunction with the Mechanical Engineer. ENERGY & ATMOSPHERE Y FUNDAMENTAL COMMISSIONING AND VERIFICATION P A full commissioning program shall be undertaken to verify energy-related systems are installed, calibrated and perform according to the Owner s Project Requirements, Basis of Design, and Construction Documents. Y MINIMUM ENERGY PERFORMANCE P Energy simulation (modeling) will be used to analyse building energy use, and conduct a whole-building assessment to demonstrate a minimum 5% improvement of proposed building performance compared to a baseline building (as determined by ASHRAE ). Y BUILDING LEVEL ENERGY METERING P A building-level energy meter shall be installed to provide data on building energy consumption (gas, electric). Y FUNDAMENTAL REFRIGERANT MANAGEMENT P No chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) based refrigerants will be used in the HVAC&R systems. 106

11 5 1 ENHANCED COMMISSIONING & ENVELOPE COMMISSIONING C Additional commissioning tasks shall be undertaken including: review of construction documents and construction submittals, verification of operator training, verification of seasonal testing, verification of systems manual updates, and development of an ongoing commissioning plan. Building operations shall be reviewed 10 months after occupancy. (3 points) Fundamental commissioning tasks shall also be executed as relate to the building thermal envelope (2 points) Monitoring-based commissioning will not be pursued (1 point) OPTIMIZE ENERYG PERFORMANCE C Through integrated energy performance analysis and responsive design decisions, the project shall achieve at least a 24% improvement in whole-building energy performance. The project shall commit to an energy performance target (kw/m 2 -year) no later than schematic design. 1 ADVANCED ENERGY METERING C Permanent energy submeters shall be installed to provide data on hourly, daily, monthly and annual building energy consumption for all whole-building energy sources used by the building, and any individual energy use that represents 10% or more of total annual energy consumption. Data collection may be managed through a building automation system (BAS) that can store data for 36 months, and must be remotely accessible. 2 DEMAND RESPONSE C A demand-response program is not currently available, and the building occupancy type does not support load shifting or shedding. This Credit will not be pursued. 3 RENEWABLE ENERGY PRODUCTION C Currently there are no renewable energy grants available for this site. The possibility for future solar grant funding will be revisited throughout the project 107

12 1 ENHANCED REFRIGERANT MANAGEMENT C The project shall utilize only refrigerants with zero Ozone Depleting Potential, and Global Warming Potential of less than 50. Acceptable refrigerants shall be specified and approved by the design team. 2 GREEN POWER AND CARBON OFFSETS C The project team shall purchase a 5-year renewable energy contract to provide at least 50% (1 point) or 100% (2 points) of the project s energy annually.

Designated storage receptacles for e-waste and batteries shall also be provided. Y CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN P A construction and demolition (C+D) waste management plan shall be developed by the design team and implemented by the General Contractor. Targeted diversion of at least 4 materials. 5 BUILDING LIFE-CYCLE IMPACT REDUCTION C The applicable strategy (3 points) for this Credit is to conduct a whole-building lifecycle assessment (LCA) using approved LCA software and demonstrate a 10% reduction in global warming potential and at least 2 other impact measures identified by LEED. This strategy is not targeted due to the expense of running the LCA, and relatively undeveloped datasets in the Canadian market. 108

13 1 1 BUILDING PRODUCT DISCLOSURE & OPTIMIZATION: ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATIONS (EPD) The project aims to use at least 20 different permanently installed products from at least 5 different manufacturers, for which an Environmental Product Declaration is available for the product. C 1 1 BUILDING PRODUCT DISCLOSURE & OPTIMIZATION: SOURCING OF RAW MATERIALS C Products with raw material source and extraction reports are relatively rare for most materials. As an alternate path, the design team will evaluate feasibility of specifying recycled, regionally-sourced or FSC-certified wood products that account for at least 25% by cost of total value of permanently installed products. Structure and enclosure materials cannot constitute more than 30% of the value of compliant building products. 1 1 BUILDING PRODUCT DISCLOSURE & OPTIMIZATION: MATERIAL INGREDIENTS C Products with compliant chemical inventories, or documented material ingredient optimization reports, or from suppliers with 3 rd party documented and robust health, safety and risk management programs, will be targeted. 1 1 CONSTRUCTION & DEMOLITION WASTE MANAGEMENT C The project shall divert a minimum of 50% (1 point) of at least 3 construction waste streams. A second point is available for 75% diversion of 4 material streams. Generating no more than 2.2kg of waste per m 2 of building floor area would provide 2 points. 75% construction waste diversion will be required of the General Contractor through Specification. The existing building demolition may present non-recyclable materials. A material salvage plan will be developed to maximize diversion. Hazardous materials are excluded from the calculation INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY Y MINIMUM INDOOR AIR QUALITY PERFORMANCE P Ventilation design shall meet the minimum requirements of ASHRAE Section
