11 Why labs? Source: Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey. Energy Information Administration, Department of Energy; 1995

12 Energy Intensive Buildings Commercial Education Food Service Healthcare Laboratories Lodging Public Assembly Office Religious 0 Energy Use (1000 Btus/sf) Vacant Warehouse Source: Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey. Energy Information Administration, Department of Energy; 1995

13 Thirsty Buildings Domestic purposes Irrigation Process HVAC

14 Energy & Water - Interconnected Source & Conveyance Treatment Distribution End Use Wastewater Treatment

15 Rule #1: Not all labs are created equal! Lab Types Chemical Sciences Physical Sciences Nanoscale Research Biology Forensics Some Special Considerations Hazardous collection & disposal Power supply Vibration, temperature, humidity Containment Security

16 Rule #1: Not all labs are created equal! Forensics Labs How They Are Different Not a Research Lab Security is Paramount Evidence Flow & Security Contamination Control Specialized Rooms Firing Range Evidence Storage Vehicle Examination Evidence Examination

17 Rule #2: Support the Facility mission! Sustainability must not create conflicts with the facility mission. Sustainability can often enhance the mission.

18 SS Credit 8, Light Pollution Reduction

19 This thing called LEED

20 LEED for New Construction, Version 2.2 LEED Category Sustainable Sites Water Efficiency Energy & Atmosphere Materials & Resources Indoor Environmental Quality Innovation in Design TOTAL Credits Offered Prerequisites

21 Four levels of LEED-NC certification: Platinum Rating points 20% increase Gold Rating points 10% increase Silver Rating points 10% increase Certified Rating points

22 Beyond LEED Net-Zero Energy? Living Building?? Restorative???

23 LEED Integration Sustainable Design Charrette? LEED Workshop? LEED Scorecard Review?

24 LEED Scorecard

25 Cost of LEED??? Varies dramatically Each project is unique LEED is evolving

26 Budgeting for LEED???

27 Budgeting for LEED 1. Most costs can be safely estimated and controlled through the process. 2. Don t forget exclusions & assumptions! 3. Take as much time as needed. 4. Start early!

28 LEED Added Costs on Average 0.5% to 5% of construction cost.

29 LEED Services There are very few LEED Services. EA C.1 - Energy Modeling EA C. 3 Commissioning

30 LEED Services EA C.1 - Energy Modeling EA C. 3 Commissioning NOT LEED Services.

31 About Energy Modeling Be sure energy modeling fees (who pays and how much) for are clearly stated in contracts. Energy modeling is a design tool. Use it as such! Look for $$$ assistance in paying for energy modeling. Do it regardless of LEED!

32 About Commissioning Define scope of systems to be commissioned. Include careful Cx schedule & deliverables Get several quotes. Do it regardless of LEED! Get Cx Agent Involved Early in the Project!

33 About Commissioning Benefits from The Commissioning Process Design Document Review The earlier a Commissioning Agent gets involved with the Project, the higher the benefits Commissioning Specification Construction Document Review Submittals Review Installation Verification Start up Verification TAB Functional Performance Test Operation and Maintenance Document Review Training of Personnel Building Occupancy Construction Start Observation Logs & Corrections Design and Construction timeline Building Flush

34 Measurement & Verification Plan More than a LEED Credit Point!
