Presentation Overview Presentation Summary Issues Promoting Green Infrastructure Overview Of & Design Process Case Study Analysis Budget Philosophies For A Green Project Creating A Plan Action & Final Thoughts Question & Answers Why Sustainable Design? Environmental Impact of Buildings 65.2% Of Total U.S. Electricity Consumption 35% Of Total U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions 136M Tons Of Construction & Demo Waste 12% Of Potable Water In The U.S. 40% (3b Tons Annually Raw Materials: Globally)

3 Why Sustainable Design? Human Activity & Complaints Americans Spend: Average 90% Of Time Indoors U.S. Businesses Loose $60 - $400 Billion Complaints: Indoor Environmental Air Quality Poor Indoor Air Quality Inconsistent And / Or Lacking Thermal Comfort Ineffective Or Problematic Lighting Building Systems Noise / Acoustic Damping Insufficient Control Of Heating, Cooling & Fresh Air Green Infrastructure A New Philosophy of Design Design & Construction Practices That Significantly Reduce Or Eliminate The Negative Impact Of Buildings On The Environment And Its Occupants. Green Infrastructure A New Philosophy of Design The Practice Of Increasing The Efficiency With Which Buildings And The Their Sites Use Energy, Water And Materials. Reducing Building Impacts On Human Health And The Environment, Through Better Siting, Design And Construction, Operations, Maintenance And Removal The Complete Building Life Cycle.

4 How to Design Green? USGBC (United States Green Building Council) Promotes The Design And Construction Of Buildings That Are Environmentally Responsible, Profitable And Healthy Places To Live And Work. Organization Activities: Integrate Building Industry Sectors Lead Market Transformation Educate Owners & Practitioners How to Design Green? (Leadership In Energy & Environmental Design) A Leading-edge System For Designing, Constructing, Operating & Certifying The World s Greenest Buildings. A Standard A Process A Method Of Measurement Not a Product you Can Buy!!! PW & Fleet Maintenance Integrating Green with Design A Successful Project Becomes A Reality Before Planning And Programming Ever Begins. To Effectively Pursue A Certified Sustainable Project The Stakeholders Need To Establish Desired Goals Prior To Hiring A Design Professional To Ensure The New Facility Is Well Financed And Appropriately Managed.

13 Efficient Space Programming Efficient Space Planning Lighting Controls Energy Efficient Lighting Controls Dim Interior Lights In Order To Enhance Daylight Harvesting. Motion Detectors For Light Fixtures Minimize The Use Of Electric Power When Spaces Are Unoccupied.

14 Monitoring Equipment & Controls Building Monitoring Equipment Enable Building Occupants To Control Their Individual Spaces. Installation Of Operable Windows Increase Air Change Effectiveness, Decreasing The Use Of Artificial Ventilation Techniques. Clerestory Lighting Efficient Building Envelope Materials More Efficient Building Envelop Materials Encompass Higher R-values Within The Exterior Walls And Roof Of The Building.

15 Vegetated & Reflective Roofing Energy Use Modeling Increase The Efficiency Of The Mechanical Systems Used, Allowing The Use Of Smaller Equipment That Has A Lower Demand For Electricity. Overall The Design Features Incorporated Within The Energy Model Reduce The Energy Cost By 27% Above The ASHRAE Standard Energy Use Modeling Efficient Building Envelope Materials 15

16 Vegetated & Reflective Roofing A Vegetated Roof Over A Portion Of The Building Combined With Light Colored Roofing With High Emissivity Materials Reduce Island Effect, Thus Contributing To Temperature Control Within The Interior Of The Building. Sun Shade Devices Sun Shading & Window Glazing Strategically Placed Sunshade Devices And Overhangs With High Performance Glazing And Low U-values And Solar Heat Gain Coefficient Control Direct Sunlight Penetration And Reduce Solar Heat Gain.

18 Photovoltaic Panels A 20kw System Of Photovoltaic Panels Capture The Sun s Energy To Reduce The Amount Of Electricity Needed To Generate Power Within The Building. Building Commissioning A Commissioning Agent Will Participate In The Project In Order To Ensure That Fundamental Building Elements And Systems Are Designed, Installed And Calibrated To Operate As Intended. The Commissioning Process Will Include Installing Monitoring Systems a Manual Outlining Procedures For Optimal Operation Of The Facility. Budgeting of Green Design Control First Costs Establish Team, Goals, Expectations & Expertise Include Specific Goals Align The Budget During Programming Phase Design Around the Program For Design Stay on Track Through Design & Construction

19 Budgeting for Green Design Control First Costs Be Aware of Low & High Cost Green Buildings Utilize Grant Opportunities Design Commissioning Energy Reduction Materials / Products Cost Benefits of Green Design Long Term Cost Benefits Reduce Energy Bills & Other Operating Costs Reduce Cost of Equipment Replacement & Building Materials Over Time Increase Productivity & Reduce Absenteeism Reduces the Use of Natural Resources Planning for Green Design Implementing A Successful Plan Review Materials / White Papers USGBC Website Visit Green Buildings Review Existing Implemented Programs Utilize Design Professionals / Resources
