Will the enhancements decrease the resource footprint of the institution? Unification, modernization, preparation for future Specific functions designed with public benefit in mind Reduce energy intensity of building infrastructure by nearly half Commitment to using project to educate 7

7 One Step Further: BREEAM Environmental Accreditation WHY Environmental Accreditation? To push us further, set an example, and incorporate internationally recognized standards WHY BREEAM? International Acceptance & Local Expertise, Flexibility based on site conditions Management Health and Wellbeing Materials 6% 12% 15% 12.5% 19% Water Transport Land Use and Ecology Pollution Innovation 7.5% 8% 10% 10% 10% Waste Energy 8

8 BREEAM: Specific Influences on Project Health and Well Being: natural light, air circulation, high comfort level Management and Consultation: stakeholder input, community consultation, educational outreach Transport: full accessibility, abundant bike facilities Land Use and Ecology: positive impact on biodiversity and landscape Materials Selection: reuse, durability, and responsible procurement Construction impacts: safety, pollution control and resource efficiency Energy: reduced reliance on mechanical HVAC, energy efficient structural and mechanical design 9
