2 Intro Myself Going to talk about two projects today 13 In Downtown Los Angeles, a bus maintenance and operations facility 14 in Santa Monica, a rail maintenance and operations facility 2

3 Location of both sites Context Commentary about the Urban vs Rural sites? 3

4 Vision Statement: a highly functional facility contributing to the fabric of the neighborhood, reflecting the dual role of automobile and pedestrian in western cities, and honoring both public transportation and LA Metro through high quality, sustainable architecture. 4

5 5 Converted two existing parking lots into Division 13

6 (aerial rendering 2011) $120 million project First new bus O&M in over 30 years 40% paid for through FTA SGR and CF grants THANK YOU FTA D/B/B Designed by MDG/RNL Thank the team Finishes October 2015 Opens December

7 (Aerial photo as of July 29, 2015) 200 bus all CNG facility 3 Level Cast-In-Place Concrete Structure New Admin Building and Maintenance Shops Total site area: 7.4 acres Total building area: 520,000 sqft Transportation Building: 18,000 sqft Garage/Service: 430,000 sqft 7

8 7 Maintenance: 70,000 sqft

10 100% Storm Water Capture and Reuse Roof Top and Façade Photovoltaics Cool roofs to mitigate heat-island effect and reduce cooling demands Regional materials and recycled content Green Roof Public Art Project Pursuing LEED Gold certification 9

11 Storm-water System: 75% of water use is from washing and steaming buses Harvest 4.3 million of SW per year into 400,000 gallon cistern (includes jail water) Cost is about $1 million Saves about 50k/month Equates to about a 45% reduction in water usage Starts with support from above (management and Board) and creativity/buy-in from below Ad Hoc Sustainability Committee -Mention PAM Must have a policy framework (Green Construction/Green Building/Recycling and Reuse/Call for Projects Criteria) KPI s, Reporting, and Accountability 10

12 Storm water collection piping in Garage Storm water system pumps and equipment Bus wash equipment Bus washers 11

13 Photovoltaic System: 271 kw system Standard rooftops and architectural façade panels FIRST publicly visible 1.9 million total cost with 275k rebate from DWP 550,000 kwh per year Covers about 8% of facility energy usage Saves 67K annually Simple payback 22 to 26 years Paid for through sustainability funds (Thank Cris breaking silos and collaborating) Total Portfolio 2.7MW and growing 12

14 12 Just a little south of 2% of total energy use is by renewable

15 Roof mounted system: Building integrated, façade mounted system: 13

16 3.600 square foot, demonstration green roof Extensive green roof system: 6 of lightweight growing medium w/ drought tolerant plants Employee amenity space Fifth façade of the building, highly visible from Metro HQ 14

18 (Photo of illuminated public art piece El Aliso during testing of the lighting) Public Art program (0.5 %) Commitment to being a good neighbor, steward of the built environment Social equity and social sustainability 16

19 More artwork pictures Public plaza, bus stops, to be furnished with benches and bike racks South façade with programmable LED lights (4th of July in picture) Artwork visible day and night 17

20 Daylighting, reflective floors and interiors Low-velocity, high-volume big ass fans for energy efficient air circulation State of the art, modern service equipment and building systems Lower level work area in Service and Inspection bays for ergonomic and easy access to buses 18

21 Transportation Building interiors: Access floor system, air delivery plenum, systems are accessible and easily reconfigurable = more efficient mechanical system = healthier indoor environment = lower floor to floor height, reduction in overall building height Daylighting to all employee spaces Recycled and renewable materials, Interesting note: carpet has 10% boars hair 19

22 New 46-car O&M Facility in Santa Monica for Expo LRT Vehicles Expo line slated to open in Directly Adjacent to high-end commercial and entertainment tenants to north and residential neighborhood to south Design started in July 2011 Started construction June 2013 Metro s seventh LEED building (Silver/Gold) and first ground up rail maintenance facility Highly sensitive and engaged community interested in sustainability 20

23 Context Talk about where the Expo line is and what it does 21

24 Old Configuration Purchased lot from Phone Company Land swapped SM parking lot for buffer park 22

25 23 Aerial from today

26 $250 million project (land included) Part of Expo Phase II Culver City to Santa Monica LRT Adjacent to Mainline in City of Santa Monica Design/Bid/Build Designed by Maintenance Design Group/RNL Design, constructed by Kiewit Opens November

27 45 Vehicle LRT O& M Facility 9.7 acre total site area 2.5 acres of Frontage Set Aside for Buffer Park Maintenance/Admin/Operations Building: 51,000 sqft Secondary Building: 9,500 sqft Cleaning Platform: 4,600 sqft Vehicle Wash: 5,800 sqft Intensive Community Process with City of Santa Monica 25

28 Stormwater Recapture and Reuse System Design focus on reduction of energy consumption before compensating with renewables: - Daylighting to all employee spaces including service and maintenance bays - All LED lighting - Radiant heating - Naturally ventilated maintenance bays - Energy efficient mechanical systems - Highly insulated building exterior Designed to be LEED Gold and Net Zero ready After Solar PPA = LEED Platinum, Net Zero energy (believe to be first LEED platinum rail maintenance facility) 26

29 Starting the job Neighborhood very unhappy Strategy was to engage the community prior to designing anything Listen and incorporate ideas for buy-in Intense Community Process (5 meetings) Neighborhood very interested in sound and light mitigation, aesthetic issues, traffic but also focused on sustainability And this is where sustainability and social equity start to intersect: The community wanted an attractive building that did not detract from their neighborhood, but added to it. Which morphed into one of our key sustainability goals on the project, which was to add to the community and make it better. Bring in something beautiful, and a place you might actually want to be. At a rail yard. 27

30 Charette process Building stretched out to be a separator between facility and neighborhood for sound and light reasons, yet still attractive Other buildings and equipment placed strategically for minimal sound/light impact Lots of acoustic and light modeling, Added sound walls 28

31 28 And a park that they never had.

32 29 Buffer Park

33 - Early goal was near net-zero, and that started with very intensive energy modeling - Energy model report feedback design modifications - Results analyzed - Architectural strategies identified and studied - Modifications changed - LED lighting - Natural ventilation taking advantage of the cooler Santa Monica climate - Radiant flooring - Energy usage offset through renewables - Solar thermal for watering heating and radiant space heating - Demand reduced across entire facility -> reduction in energy usage -> allowed for PV/net zero 30

34 - Energy model report feedback design modifications - Results analyzed - Architectural strategies identified and studied - Modifications changed - LED lighting - Natural ventilation taking advantage of the cooler Santa Monica climate - Radiant flooring - Energy usage offset through renewables - Solar thermal for watering heating and radiant space heating - Demand reduced across entire facility -> reduction in energy usage -> allowed for PV/net zero 31

37 Storm-water System: 400,000 gallon Collection and Filtration Cistern installed under east parking lot Average of 140,000 gallons/month captured water Rainwater collected from building roofs and within ballasted rail yard Collection and reuse of storm water in Santa Monica is cheaper option than paying Urban Runoff Reduction Fee and purchasing potable water Water used for Vehicle wash, blow down, Secondary use to sub-surface landscape irrigation when water surplus is present 34

38 35 Cistern installation (Contech StormTrap)

39 Expo Water System Storm water capture and reuse is primary water saving measure Solar collector to heat domestic 36

40 Solar Battery: Closed loop solar thermal panels used to heat water through heat exchanger system 1. Heats domestic water for Main Building - Reduction or elimination of gas for water heating 2. Heats radiant flooring in Service and Inspection pits - lowest level within maintenance area, radiates upward - Big ass fans circulate air and push heat back down 37
