1 Working with SPiRiT as a LEED Adaptation USGBC Fourth Annual Member Summit Tucson AZ - August 20, 2001 Dagmar Epsten, AIA, CCS LEED Accredited Professional President,, Atlanta, Georgia

2 Working with SPiRiT as a LEED Adaptation I. Introduction II. III. IV. Charrettes LEED Adaptability Credit Innovations V. Process

3 I. Introduction Fort Monmouth Project Renovation in Fort Monmouth NJ Future U.S. Military Academy Preparatory School Approx. 160,000 sq.ft., $112.50/sq.ft, $18 Million 2 U-Shaped 3-story buildings

4 I. Introduction Fort Monmouth Charrette Charrette on April 11 & 12, 2001 Fort Monmouth, NJ Charrette Leaders: Epsten, Jones, Gabler Charrette Participants: Corps of Engineers NY, DPW, Design Team, AMXIS FIRST USE OF SPiRiT v 1.4

5 I. Introduction Fort Monmouth Results Not Platinum, but Silver Project Recommendations Charrette Report : SustDesign/FtMonmouth.pdf SPiRiT Review: Documentation Suggestions, Charrette Lessons, Process

6 II. Charrettes 6.C1 Holistic Delivery of Facility Intent: Encourage a facility delivery process that actively engages all stakeholders in the design process to deliver a facility that meets all functional requirements while effectively optimizing tradeoffs among sustainability, first costs, life cycle costs and mission requirements.

7 II. Charrettes 6.C1 Holistic Delivery of Facility (1) Experienced team leaders. (1) Train entire team. (1) Identify project goals and metrics. (1) Plan an execute charrettes. (2) Identify and resolve tradeoffs among sustainability, first costs, life cycle costs and mission requirements through charrettes and other collaborative processes. (1) Document required results that achieve the project goals.

8 II. Charrettes 6.C1 Holistic Delivery of Facility Requirement 2 points Identify and resolve tradeoffs among sustainability, first costs, life cycle costs and mission requirements (TEG Doc 1) Summary of life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) according to the Federal Facilities Council Technical Report, Sustainable Federal Facilities: A Guide To Integrating Value Engineering, Life Cycle Costing, and Sustainable Development, FFC # 142, (TEG Lesson 1) Have a draft of a life-cycle cost analysis prepared either by the project team or by the sustainable design experts for the second charrette.

9 III. LEED Adaptability SPiRiT in comparison with LEED : SPiRiT: Higher emphasis on Facility Delivery Process Functionality indoor, conveniences Adaptability of building for future uses SPiRiT: Less emphasis on standards/ quantity All of the 69 LEED credits use standards/ quantity Of the additional SPiRiT credits, only 1 does (Distributed Generation)

10 III. LEED Adaptability Higher SPiRiT emphasis makes sense for Fort Monmouth: Facility Delivery Process: No submittal to USGBC Team w/o sustainability experience Functionality indoor, conveniences: High abuse by occupants Amenities close-by (dining, athletic) Adaptability of building for future uses: Building built 1952, renovated 1979,

11 III. LEED Adaptability Some conditions in Fort Monmouth NOT reflected in SPiRiT Army base like a campus difficult to define boundaries of a site LEED needs site definition instructions Force Protection no bushes or trees Habitat landscaping not available High water use - showers Commissioning needed, but difficult

12 III. LEED Adaptability Desirable: LEED Language Flexibility Not Urban Redevelopment but Community Redevelopment Not ASHRAE 90.1 but or similar standard approved by USGBC to account for TI

13 III. LEED Adaptability Perhaps: LEED Exceptions for credits generally not available. Protect and Restore Open Space N/A due to Force Protection HCFC elimination LEED Accreditation not required

14 III. LEED Adaptability Desirable: Extra/ Make-Up LEED Innovation Credits. 7 SPiRiT v1.4 credits are currently not proposed for LEED 3.0 LEED 3.0: 10 Innovation Credits?

15 IV. Credit Innovations 1. SUSTAINABLE SITES 2. WATER EFFICIENCY 3. ENERGY AND ATMOSPHERE 3. MATERIALS AND RESOURCES 5. INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY 6. NEW: FACILITY DELIVERY PROCESS 7. NEW: CURRENT MISSION 8.
