1 Highlights of Green Building Development ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA

2 Why Build Green? Since its creation in 1999, Arlington s Green Building Density Incentive Program has led to the development of over 30 LEED certified commercial, apartment, and hotel developments. Together these buildings are estimated to be saving millions of kilowatt-hours of energy and millions of gallons of water each year. Selection of low toxicity materials, non-smoking requirements, daylighting, and accessible on-site open space supports the health of Arlington s workers, residents, and visitors. Green Buildings benefit Arlington by reducing stress on local infrastructure systems such as the electric grid and wastewater treatment plant, making our growing community more resilient and secure. The following pages highlight the collective impacts of the 32 buildings that have participated in Arlington s Green Building Program. energy water site recycling COVER: Green roofs and solar panels atop 1776 Wilson Boulevard (LEED Platinum Certified).

4 A Growing Community Over 20 million square feet of new buildings have been constructed in Arlington since 2006, including LEED certified and non-leed certified buildings. Population is also increasing with over 20,000 new residents since The exciting news is that even with this growth, total County water and energy use is starting to decrease.

5 A More Sustainable Community The Green Building Program is contributing to an overall decrease in energy and water use in Arlington County. Technologies pioneered in green buildings, including LED lights and low-flow toilets, eventually achieve broader market adoption and compound community energy and water savings. TOTAL COUNTY ENERGY USE 1 TRILLION BTUs TOTAL COUNTY WATER USE (kgal) Excludes government; Natural gas use estimated as 7.1 trillion Btu for 2006 and 2008 due to lack of data from Washington Gas had an extremely mild winter, suppressing gas and electric demand for heating.

6 Green Building Certifications Arlington s Green Building Program uses the U.S. Green Building Council s LEED certification and Viridiant s EarthCraft certification standards to evaluate key sustainability criteria in new construction. Apartment developments also install Energy Star lighting and appliances and WaterSense plumbing fixtures to help residents save on utilities. More recently, the program requires Energy Star Building certification to evaluate ongoing energy performance after the building is occupied. Green Building Development The Navy League Building at 2300 Wilson Boulevard, completed and occupied in 2006, was Arlington s first LEED office building. Since 2012, most new developments are built with some level of green building commitment.

8 Green Buildings Save Energy 1 1) Roof Insulation at M Flats Crystal City, th Street S., (LEED Gold Certified) reduces heating and cooling losses. 2) High Quality insulation installation at The Springs Apartments, 555 N. Thomas Street, (Earthcraft Platinum certified) keeps residents comfortable and saves energy. 3) Super-efficient Variable Refrigerant Flow HVAC units at Latitude Apartments, 3601 Fairfax Drive (LEED Gold Certified). 4) Ductwork test at Union on Queen,1515 N. Queen Street, (LEED Gold certified) improves heating and cooling system efficiency ) Daylighting the parking garage at 2201 Pershing Apartments (LEED Gold certified) allows for fewer lights and reduces electricity use. All apartments install Energy Star appliances and light fixtures

MBTU = Million British Thermal Units. 2 Greenhouse Gas Equivalent: epa.gov/energy/greenhouse-gas-equivalencies-calculator 9

10 Green Buildings Save Water Arlington s green buildings save millions of gallons of water per year. Saving water saves energy. Upstream, energy is needed to make water safe to drink. Downstream, energy is used to treat wastewater. These water savings result in an estimated 12,000 kwh of annual energy savings.

13 Green Buildings Recycle A dual chute trash and recycling system encourages residents to recycle at the Bartlett, th Street South (LEED Silver certification anticipated). 13

14 Urban Heat Island Reduction The urban heat island effect occurs when parking lots, roads, building roofs, and other dark surfaces absorb heat during the day, resulting in: Increase in electricity demand for air conditioning Increase in health problems during heat waves Impacts to aquatic life due to increased stormwater temperatures Trees and vegetation in parks, along streets, and on rooftops are the most effective way to reduce the urban heat island effect.

White roofs also help to reduce heat islands by reflecting the sun s rays. Most buildings install a combination of vegetated and reflective roofing. 15

18 A More Sustainable Future Arlington has set a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 75% by 2050 and has pledged commitment to the Paris Climate Accord. Even though buildings built today are more energy efficient, they are still large energy consumers. Arlington s Green Building Incentive program will continue to play an important role in stimulating technological advancements and market transformation needed to achieve our long-term energy and sustainability goals. Find out more about how you can support a more sustainable future for Arlington at arlingtonenergy.us. The Green Building Incentive program is administered by the Arlington Initiative to Rethink Energy in the Department of Environmental Services. 18
