2 Best Practices The Eastern Regional Association of Physical Plant Administrators (ERAPPA) is a Registered Provider with the American Institute of Architects Continuing Education Systems. Credit earned on completion of this program will be reported to CES Records for AIA members. Certificates of Completion for non-aia members are available on request. This program is registered with the AIA/CES for continuing professional education. As such, it does not include content that may be deemed or construed to be an approval or endorsement by the AIA of any material of construction or any method or manner of handling, using, distributing, or dealing in any material or product. Questions related to specific materials, methods, and services will be addressed at the conclusion of this presentation.

3 Learning Objectives Upon completion of this program you will be able to: 1. Learn how to prepare for and execute a retrofit project with emphasis on incorporating a modern layout and delivering to residence life trends and explain how to create a contemporary identity for a 1960s type dormitory. 2. Plan to maximize sustainability practices on existing structures including consideration for sustainable options, challenging assumptions, alternative funding and selling the ROI. 3. Explore the use of glazing, materials and forms blurring the exterior and interior relating the residence hall into the campus environment. 4. Utilize collaborative project development for proper scope definition to maximize budget thereby getting the most bang for the buck.

5 The Challenges...

6 The Planning... What 1960s era Monroe Residence Hall Why Outdated Systems and Spaces

7 The Planning... When Timed with mandated renovations How Stakeholders at the table Closed building allowed A/E access

8 The Project... Existing Identity Entrances Renovated

9 The Project... Identity Interior Design

10 The Project... Existing Collision Spaces Lobby, Conference Common Area Seminar Conf. Lobby Renovated

11 The Project... Existing Collision Spaces Lounge, Laundry Kitchenette/Lounge/Laundry Renovated

12 The Project... Existing Collision Spaces Studies Study Renovated

13 The Project... Living Arrangements Mini-Suites DOUBLE Existing DOUBLE SINGLE DOUBLE FOYER

14 The Project... Living Arrangements ADA Mini-Suites DOUBLE Existing DOUBLE SINGLE ADA SINGLE

15 The Project... HVAC Energy Measures Hybrid Radiant Heating / Cooling System Ground source water-to-water heat pumps for heating, cooling and domestic hot water 60 geothermal wells installed 400 ft. deep DOAS for make up air with C02 control High efficiency boilers for peak heating Variable speed drives on pumps and fans NEMA premium efficiency motors on >1HP

16 The Project... Improved Building Efficiency (Cost Basis) IMPROVED BUILDING EFFICIENCY ECM Baseline Proposed Added Wall Insulation R-4 R-13 Window Replacement U = 1.11 U = 0.58 Lighting Upgrades 1.0 W/sf 0.66 W/sf Mechanical System Upgrades PTAC & Gas-Fired Boilers Ground Source Heat Pumps Mechanical System Upgrades Added Wall Insulation Window Replacement Lighting Upgrades Improved Building Performance (38% Less Energy Use) Improved Building Performance (38% Less Energy Use), Cost Basis Mechanical System Upgrades 20% Added Wall Insulation 8% Window Replacement 7% Lighting Upgrades 3%

17 The Project... Hybrid Ground Source Heat Pump System Balanced Load Cooling Mode Heating Mode When heating and cooling loads in the building are balanced, heat can be transferred via the water loop to areas of the building that need it. No external means of heating or cooling are required. When the building is in cooling mode, heat is rejected into the earth heat exchanger via the water loop. The heat is stored in the earth and will be used to heat the building during the Winter. During the winter season, heat from the ground is absorbed by the earth heat exchanger and delivered to the building via the water loop. In extreme cold, supplemental boilers provide heat.

18 The Project... Hybrid Ground Source Heat Pump System

19 The Project... Rainwater Harvesting Saves 729,000 gallons of water / year Saves $2,500 / year Supplies water to bathroom water closets Lavatories and water closets are provided with low flow plumbing fixtures.

20 The Project... Interior Lighting High-efficiency fixtures with fluorescent and LED lamps Automated controls Occupancy sensors

21 The Project... Bottle Fill Water bottle fill station provides carbon and particulate filtered, cold water Non-CFC compliant water cooler Very popular with students

22 The Results... Energy Stats 60% annual energy reduction compared to ASHRAE baseline Striving for LEED Gold 14 Energy & Atmosphere points already approved Energy Use Index (EUI): 53.2 kbtu/sf

23 Source: SUNY Cortland Sustainability Master Plan March 2011 JMZ Architects & Planners The Results... SUNY Dormitory EUI Comparison EUI ,778,000 KBTU Monroe Hall (Fully Air Conditioned)

24 The Results... Reuse Monroe Residence Hall "This incredible, new repurposed building is an extreme makeover' with eco-friendly features. - Christopher C. Dahl, President

25 The Results... Renew Campus Approach to Sustainability Certification above Certifiable Eco Garden Eco House Sustainability Commission. The simpler ecological thrill--the water bottle filler makes a keener impression. - Celia Eastman, Dean of Residential Living

26 The Results... Revive Student Reception From the day students moved into Monroe Hall, they realized they were in a special place. - Celia Eastman, Dean of Residential Living

27 The Results... Recycle Summer Conferencing With the open collision space in the lobby and the comfortably appointed classroom, seminar room, and media room, Monroe has been especially welcoming - Celia Eastman, Dean of Residential Living

28 The Results... Recruit Spring Transfers The building design sacrificed some bed space to create multiple study rooms on each floor. It was worth it.. - Celia Eastman, Dean of Residential Living

29 The Results... Retain 4 Year Housing Monroe's atmosphere is peaceful and cooperative because students have study niches, kitchen and laundry hang-outs, astonishingly good lighting, and an aesthetic that says welcome home. - Celia Eastman, Dean of Residential Living
