1 Green Architecture Ms. Ying Wang March 13, 2010

2 What is Architecture? Design Art Graphics Planning Science Interiors Building Landscaping Furniture design Construction Structure Urban Planning Style Mechanical Electrical Architecture is to better your environment Professor Olivio Ferrari, Virginia Tech. 1980

3 Reflection of Humanity Shelter and Worship Rise of the City Industrial Revolution Transportation Population Migration Urbanization Village Desertion World Trade and Capitalism Local Market, Regional Economy Global Warming GHG Emission Resources Scarcity Petroleum, Forestry Green and Sustainability

4 A Good Architecture Functional Exciting and Aesthetical Economical Green CHPS LEED for Schools

5 Site - Green Community Building Orientation and Siting Stormwater Heat island Light Pollution LAUSD, Glassell Park

6 Del Mar Transit Village Green Belt Transit Community

7 Orientation and Position energy efficient and comfort

8 Stormwater Management Bio- swale Rain barrel Stormwater Gravity Separator

9 Singapore museum Heat Island

10 Honolulu Light Pollution Hong Kong Fixture with Shield to avoid light spill

11 Los Angeles Water

12 Non-potable Water Recycled Water (Purple Pipe) Tertiary treatment, irrigation on Golf course, park, toilets, may be high on nutrients Grey Water Black Water

13 Water Conservation Irrigation Smart weather station Rain sensor Controller

14 Native and Drought Resistance Plants Olive, Oak, Palm California Bay Laurel Peppermint Tree Rosemary, Sedum, Deer Grass

15 Urinal 1 GPF 1pt GPF Water free Water fixtures

16 New Product in the making Almost Waterless Washing Machine Waterless Washing Machine - Airwash negative ions, compressed air and deodorants to clean clothes

17 Energy Efficiency and Renewable Passive Design It s all about the envelope! Building orientation, sun shades, cool roofs, glazing, shade trees, insulation Energy-saving devices Energy Star rated appliances, occupancy and daylight sensors, HVAC interconnects with operable windows Renewable sources Solar panels (roofs, lunch shelters) Wind turbines (where site appropriate)

18 HVAC SEER Efficiency Rating, Central Plant, Roof Top Units, Under Floor Duct, Displacement Ventilation Control Energy Management System (EMS), Smart Meter, Thermostat Setting Behavior

19 Lighting Incandescent Fluorescent LED ( light emitting diode) Occupancy Sensor Daylighting Sensor

20 Energy and Climate Changes Natural Gas Petroleum Coal Biodiesel Geothermal Ocean wave

21 Solar Renewable Systems Photovoltaics Panel Crystalline Silicon Thin Films Amorphous Silicon High Concentration PV Solar Water Heating through water, fluid or vacuum Street light, home, office, solar farm

22 Wind Power Wind Farm 100MW = 250~300 homes use Small Wind

23 LAUSD, SRHS #15

24 Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Outdoor Air Delivery Monitoring CO2 Sensor Increased Ventilation Acoustics Performance Daylighting and View Low Emitting Materials Carpet, Rubber Flooring, Vinyl Flooring, Wood Flooring, Adhesive, Paint, Acoustical Ceiling Tile, Insulation Construction IAQ Plan Controllability of lighting and Temperature

25 Low Emitting Materials Low-emitting materials are products that do not release significant pollutants into the indoor environment. These products contain zero- and low-volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Carpet Fibergalss insulation Acoustics ceiling tile Rubber Floor Vinyl floor Wood floor Paint

26 Materials Minimize impact to the environment

27 Reduce and Reuse Recycle Construction Waste; 50%, 75% to 90%, site separate or commingle Recyclable Carpet where to recycle your old carpet? EPA & Carpet Manufactures 2002 MOU Divert 40% carpet from landfill by 2012 CARE Carpet America Recovery Effort offers 60 carpet recovery centers, one in Los Angels

28 Recycled Carpet Recycled Content Carpet pad 100% recycled material, Carpet? % recycled content Many carpet manufacturers are producing carpet made from recycled carpet and plastic, usually post-consumer PET (polyethylene Terepathalate) from used plastic soda bottles. About 50 2-liter bottles go into a square yard of carpet fiber. Carpets that are created using recycled materials perform the same as carpets created using virgin material often with the added benefits of increased stain resistance and improved indoor air quality as a result of less toxic off-gassing of volatile organic compounds. The manufacturing of recycled content Carpet produces less emissions than ordinary carpet.

29 Recycled Insulation Fiberglass insulation minimum 25% post-consumer recycled content and minimum 50% total recycled content Recycled bluejean, cotton or cellulose insulation (recycled newspaper treated with borate for insect and fire resistance.) All reduce waste, require one-quarter to one-tenth the energy to produce, and are far less irritating to installer's skin and mucus membranes. Loose insulation cellulose, fiberglass or mineral wool ( 75% post industrial content)

30 Recycled Recycled Acoustics Ceiling Tile The Armstrong Ceiling Systems program enables commercial building owners to ship old ceilings from renovation projects to an Armstrong ceiling plant as an alternative to landfill disposal. Recycled steel Almost 100% recycled content Recycled Aluminum, Copper, Zinc Fly Ash from coal burning plant Use as a replacement for cement, color rendering darker, higher strength, longer curing time

31 Rapidly Renewable Products 10 years or shorter to harvest Sunflower seeds board Sorghum plant Wheat board Bamboo flooring Cork Linoleum floor

32 Certified Wood Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) FSC is an international nonprofit, multi-stakeholder organization established in 1993 Bonn Germany to promote responsible management of the world s forests. Its main tools for achieving this are standard setting, independent certification and labeling of forest products

33 Regional Materials Extracted, Processed & Manufactured Regionally within 500 Miles Brick Concrete Block Clay Roof Tile Concrete Metal Products Acoustics Ceiling Tile Wood Timber

34 Actions the General Public Can Take
