45 Natural Ventilation Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Studies Fluent (Ansys Airpak) Various ceiling configurations and shapes were analyzed CFD analysis indicated - horizontal ceiling plane works as well as a sloped ceiling Comfort Verification Studies Additional CFD analysis was done during late design for verification purposes Comfort verification studies by Capital Engineering/ SEED Inc.

49 Public Procurement Lessons Learned Public Low Bid Requirement Limited Number of GCs with ZNE Experience Collaborative Process PM/CM/PA/Builder/ Client Relationship is Crucial Educate, Collaborate and Develop Trust COMMUNICATION! Public Low Bid 49

50 97.1% FSC Wood content Coordination Quick turn around on RFIs/ Submittals Be Flexible Work as a Team to Identify Savings and Opportunities Concepts that apply to all projects 50

51 Unseen But Important -Roof BOD -Performance requirements PV Sub -Install Off the Rack Systems Structural issues! Resolve Issues, Find Solutions and be ZNE Aware Integrated Designs Are Not Friendly Towards Field Changes PV emergency shut off -within 10 of Main Switch Gear (MSB) Lessons In The Field 51

52 PV & Solar Thermal Do not exceed zoning height limitations Low slope roofs HED detailed for stanchions. Standard wood curbs preferred by subs can impede flow and affect collector plate angles Stanchions allow for future technology, reroofing, ease of maintenance. Lessons In The Field 52

53 Radiant Slab Triple Wall Radiant Tubing 4 of Radiant Concrete Slab over 2 of Rigid Insulation. 6 Curbs. Curb cutouts -manifolds & construction accesscherry pickers. Check manifold design & tubing layout for proper zoning Template Layout/ Protection plates -avoid punctures Educating the other subcontractors is KEY Radiant Floors 53

54 PV & Solar Thermal Learning curve Not your standard electrical/ mechanical room Plan for issues in the field where Design Build systems are concerned Lessons In The Field 54

55 Natural Ventilation Interior of chimney has to be lined with acoustic board Provide for access to service and maintain Patrons standard comment is How quiet the building is! CFD studies were worth it. Minimal comfort issues most addressed during commissioning Wind Chimney 55

56 Natural Ventilation Operable windows are tied to BMS Some manual operable windows provided at staff offices Window actuator looks like a handle one operable window at standard height broken by patron Runtal missed at one automatic window Wind Chimney 56

58 Runtal Radiators Provides preheating of fresh air in the winter Long lead time 6-8 weeks Concerns about appearance and perception Standard Runtal heights are limited HED worked with fabricator to increase fin spacing & revised pressure and flow design Runtal Radiators 58

59 Skylights Both fixed and operable Operable skylight controls were difficult to get to communicate with BMS Value engineering exercise had removed integral blinds- added back during construction Skylight blinds have solar cell- self powered and automatic Day Light 59

60 Daylight Harvesting Daylight Sensors (1) at skylights & (1) at entry Tied to lighting panel and controls lights -dimmable vs on/off Dimmable lights need delay Shades affect sensors Commissioning is necessary to trouble shoot lighting Day Light & Lighting Controls 60

61 Quality of Light 61

62 High Performance Rain Screen System 14 Week Lead time from Switzerland No comparable local product HED arranged for contractor to obtain manufacturer certification HED revised details to reduce steel furring use by 50% Reduced material use, errors, labor and possibility for breakage during installation Cement Composite Panel Rain Screen 62
