1 SDI RETREAT WHY CAN T WE DO GREEN BUILDINGS IN OUR REGION? Net Positive Beyond Zero Sustainable Buildings 2013, Vancouver, BC SDI RETREAT, SEATTLE June 6, 2013 MAY 15, 2013 Blair McCarry P.Eng. PE FASHRAE LEED BD&C Hon AIBC Perkins+Will

2 AGENDA 1. Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability, UBC 2. vandusen Botanical Garden Visitor Centre, Vancouver, BC 3. Kaiser Permanente 100 Bed Hospital, Lancaster CA 4. Beyond Carbon Neutral Community, Edmonton, AB

3 CIRS BUILDING DESIGN ISSUES 5,000 m 2 mainly office with 500 seat auditorium Narrow Floor Plate for Daylight Control % Glazing, Orientation West Façade Shading by Vegetation Green Roofs

4 CIRS PROJECT GOALS Goals Established in 2004 including: Net Positive Energy Net Zero Water No Water Leaves the Site 100% Daylight Healthy Building and Materials Like Living Building Standards

5 CIRS ENERGY TRANSFER EOS Fume Hood Fan Low Energy Building Design Energy Source from Adjacent EOS Fume Hood Exhaust CIRS Site 530 MWH/yr Used by CIRS 640 MWH/yr Heat Sent To EOS

6 CIRS SYSTEMS DIAGRAM 530 MWH/yr Used by CIRS 640 MWH/yr Heat Sent To EOS

7 CIRS ENERGY TRANSFER UPDATED Heat Recovery Coil in Wrong Position Correct Coil Position will Return Even More Energy to EOS Modified AHU Diagram

8 CIRS WATER Sewage Treated on Site with Reclaimed Water Reuse Toilet Flushing Irrigation Potable Water Collected from Rainfall on Roof Stored and Treated for Potable Water Use Net Zero Water Use Some Surplus Reclaimed Water

9 CIRS MATERIALS CARBON SEQUESTERING IN WOOD Early Design Calculations of Major Building Components: 525 tonnes GHG from Materials Used 600 tonnes GHG Sequestered by Wood Net 75 tonnes GHG Emission Reduction Glass Concrete Aluminum Brick Wood Grad Student Detailed Analysis of Materials Actually Used: 1070 tonnes GHG from Materials Used 904 tonnes GHG Sequestered by Wood Net 160 tonnes GHG Material Emissions Original Materials Emission Diagram

10 CIRS WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE BETTER Get the Heat Recovery System Operating Efficiently, Make use of Excess Reclaimed Water Nearby Increase amount of Renewable Energy Generation like PV Increase ground field size for more capacity Continue to Review Opportunities in Materials

11 VAN DUSEN BOTANICAL GARDENS 1,900 m 2 Facility for Entry/Tickets, Office, Meeting Rooms, Concessions, and Retail LEED Gold City Mandate Going for Platinum and Living Building Certification Design of Building is Like Flower Petals

12 VAN DUSEN BOTANICAL GARDENS ENERGY TRANSFER Excess Heat Energy Produced on Site Transferred to Adjacent Garden Pavillion. More Energy is Transferred than the Visitor Centre Uses. Energy Produced by PV Panels, Solar Heat Collectors, and Geosource (Recharged) 208,550 kwh/yr Used by Visitors Centre 250,930 kwh/yr Transferred to the Garden Pavillion Beyond Zero Energy Use!

13 VAN DUSEN BOTANICAL GARDENS WATER SYSTEMS Sewage is treated on site and Discharged to Percolation Field in the Gardens Rain Water from Hard Roof Collected and Stored for Toilet Flushing Green Roof for Holding Storm Water

14 VAN DUSEN BOTANICAL GARDENS SYSTEMS DIAGRAM

15 VAN DUSEN BOTANICAL GARDENS HEALTHY MATERIALS Simple Palette of Materials: Wood, Glass, Aluminum, Rammed Earth Roof Structure Pre- Fabricated No Materials that Off Gas

16 VAN DUSEN BOTANICAL GARDENS WHAT MORE COULD BE DONE? Treat Sewage to Reclaimed Water Classification for Flushing Toilets and Irrigation Use Collected Storm Water for Potable Water after Treatment Increase the amount of PV collectors

17 KAISER PERMANENTE 100 BED HOSPITAL Small Hospital Big Ideas International Competition for 100 Bed Hospital, Lancaster, CA NY Office of P+W One of Winners Project will be Starting Design Soon Regenerative Design Approach

18 KAISER PERMANENTE 100 BED HOSPITAL Energy M+NLB Were MEP Engineers Low Energy Hospital 236 kwh/m 2 /yr or about 1/3 of Typical Energy Use Nearby Landfill Gas Powered Bloombox Fuel Cell Electricity and Heat Biogas from Sewage and Organic Waste PV Power Wind Power a Future Consideration

19 KAISER PERMANENTE 100 BED HOSPITAL Integrated Energy and Water Diagram On Site Well Water Anaerobic Digestion Sewage Food/Organic Waste Pharmaceuticals Removed from Sewage Fuel Cell Energy Production

20 WHAT MORE COULD HAVE BEEN DONE? Install Wind Powered Generators Good Location for Wind Install more PV Panels for More Power Production Consider Battery Power Storage for Night Power Requirements Work with Community for Waste to Energy and more Biogas from Organics/Food Waste Opportunities Work Toward Energy Independence with no Grid Reliance Resilience for Disasters

21 BLATCHFORD DEVELOPMENT, EDMONTON AB BEYOND CARBON NEUTRAL International Competition Re- plan Municipal Airport for 30,000 People Model Sustainable Community Required to be Carbon Neutral!

22 Carbon Neutral Operations 1,87 Mio Tons 455,000 Tons 825,000 Tons 1.87 Million Tons Carbon Reduction from business as usual

23 Beyond Carbon Neutral 1,87 Mio Tons 455,000 Tons 825,000 Tons 3.2 Million Tons Carbon Reduction from business as usual

24 Beyond Carbon Neutral with City Waste Reuse 1,87 Mio Tons 455,000 Tons 825,000 Tons 3.2 Million Tons Carbon Reduction from business as usual The earth can sustain a stable human population of 8 billion at 2.2 tons/person
