2 Overview What we re doing! Why we do this Challenges What s right? Millwoods Police LEED Gold Case Study Lois Hole Library in construction SW Community Recreation Complex design Norwood Fire & Ambulance tendering Ft. Edmonton Admin Building design SW Transit Garage - design

3 What we re doing! LEED Silver (or better) CaGBC designation Small projects, Green specs. Integrated Design the process, not the gadgets Adaptive Re-use: General Fit Interiors Recycling, de-construct R&D, PV Sustainable Planning dodge a building artful collaboration Lead by example, CaGBC

4 What We re Doing Re-glazing - Recycling

5 Why? Save money: simply utilities Leadership: PR, peerage Morality: Kyoto, 2030, Ed Mazria Good design doesn t cost more LEED costs; $ k to administer Integrated construction features Inspired Healthy Buildings Interesting Design; a new parti User satisfaction, low absenteeism, interest, productivity, managed risk of OH&S We enjoy the challenge! Pioneering a spirit of design Technologies

35 Tools for Comparative Analysis SHADES OF GREEN

36 Typical Building: Standard building envelope, mechanical system, and lighting. Tools for Comparative Analysis SHADES OF GREEN

37 LEED Silver Building: Improved building envelope - high performance glass, and increased insulation. Open office plan. Improved mechanical system - high efficiency equipment, alternate air systems (underfloor air) Improved lighting - high efficiency lighting fixtures, reduced lighting loads. Tools for Comparative Analysis SHADES OF GREEN

38 LEED Gold Building: Improved building envelope - high performance glass, and increased insulation. Operable windows for natural ventilation Reduced or no mechanical system - natural ventilation, water saving strategies, increased temp. tolerance by occupants, solar control Improved lighting - high efficiency lighting fixtures, reduced lighting via natural day lighting. Tools for Comparative Analysis SHADES OF GREEN

39 LEED Platinum Building: Improved building envelope - high performance glass, and increased insulation alternate envelope systems (sod roof). Open office plan. Reduced or no mechanical system - alternate energy sources for systems (PV s), Aggressive water strategies. Improved lighting - high efficiency lighting fixtures, task lighting, aggressive daylighting scheme. Tools for Comparative Analysis SHADES OF GREEN

40 SE Millwoods Police District Station USGBC LEED Gold Certified 2005

41 Living/Restorative Building Improved building envelope - high performance glass, and increased insulation alternate envelope systems (sod roof). Significant open office plan. Reduced or no mechanical system - significant alternate energy sources for systems (PV s, Fuel Cells, Wind), Water strategies which give back what s taken.
