3 AN ANCIENT PATHWAY TO A NEW DIRECTION ( John Eagleday, IAIA Faculty) In our way of life, in our government, with every decision we make, we always keep in mind the Seventh Generation to come. It s our job to see that the people coming ahead, the generations still unborn, have a world no worse than ours and hopefully better. When we walk upon Mother Earth we always plant our feet carefully because we know the faces of our future generations are looking up at us from beneath the ground. We never forget them... By Oren Lyons, The Onondaga Faithkeeper, from Wisdom of the Ages, by Wayne W. Dyer

4 OVERVIEW About the Institute of American Indian Arts The IAIA Initiative for a Sustainable Future Initiative Implementation

5 ABOUT THE INSTITUTE OF AMERICAN INDIAN ARTS

6 WHAT IS IAIA? A Tribal College in Santa Fe, NM Congressionally-chartered A four-year fine arts college Students from all 562 Federally-recognized tribes World-famous faculty and alumni 6

7 CULTURE-BASED EDUCATION By Native Americans for Native Americans Programs grounded in Native American culture and values Stronger individuals and better students Used by all Tribal Colleges and many mainstream colleges 7

8 ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP AT IAIA Traditional Native American values Important element of culture-based education A living model of environmental stewardship Addressing environmental and energy issues in Native America 8

9 HISTORY OF IAIA Started high school program Started college program Moved to College of Santa Fe campus Given 140 acre campus Established Museum Moved to own campus Became four year college Began Initiative for a Sustainable Future 9

10 THE IAIA CAMPUS TODAY BPLW Architects & Engineers, Inc. 10

11 THE IAIA INITIATIVE FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE WHY UNDERTAKE THE INITIATIVE? WHAT IS THE INITIATIVE?

12 WHY UNDERTAKE THE INITIATIVE? First five buildings low cost & inefficient Five-fold expansion planned for (71,000 to 350,000 sq. ft) Buildings built now will be with us for 50+ years Water and energy scarcity and dramatic cost increases Environmental impact Open space protection Leadership role in Native America 12

13 WHAT IS THE INITIATIVE? Energy Goals Water Goals Site Development Key Implementation Strategies

14 ENERGY GOALS AND STRATEGIES Reduce energy consumption by more than 50% Renovate existing buildings to improve efficiency by 30% Design new buildings to improve efficiency by 60% or more Reduce embodied energy by 15% in new buildings Maximize use of daylighting; natural heating, cooling and ventilation; low energy materials Reduce energy consumption first, then look for opportunities to use renewable energy 14

15 ENERGY SAVINGS Projected annual energy consumption reduced from 37.5 billion BTUs to 18.7 billion BTUs in 2014 Projected annual energy cost reduced from $444,400 to $222,100 by 2014 $3.8 million cumulative savings over 20 years Energy consumption will drop from the current rate of 104,000 BTUs/sq. ft. to 78,000 BTUs/sq. ft. 78,000 BTUs/sq. ft. for existing buildings through renovation of selected buildings 54,000 BTUs/sq. ft. for new buildings through different approach to design 15

16 PROJECTED ENERGY USE 16

17 PROJECTED ENERGY COSTS 17

18 WATER GOALS AND STRATEGIES Reduce use of domestic potable water by 50 to 70% when campus fully built Use potable water only when necessary for drinking, cooking, laundry, bathing,food crops Maximize rainwater harvesting Treat wastewater on-site in constructed wetlands or other treatment system Re-use treated wastewater in new buildings, for irrigation and water features 18

19 WATER SAVINGS Projected potable water use reduced from 10.5 million gallons to 3.2 million gallons by 2014 Harvested rainfall could reach 2.8 million in an average year 4.8 million gallons of treated wastewater left over for landscape irrigation (2 acres) in 2014 Savings in purchased water is $124,500 in 2014 $3.8 million cumulative water savings over 20 years 19

20 SITE DEVELOPMENT Paths linked to community Recreation, cultural areas, outdoor classrooms, meditation spaces, gathering spaces Wetlands for wastewater treatment, green space, wildlife habitat Restored habitat, grasslands, biodiversity Xeric landscaping, permaculture 20

21 DEMONSTRATION AND EDUCATION Will become important element of cultural education Will demonstrate appropriate technologies for Native American communities Will provide experiential learning through living workshop of sustainable design Will implement formal educational outreach programs 21

22 INITIATIVE IMPLEMENTATION KEY IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES THE IAIA CAMPUS MASTER PLAN THE LTC-THE FIRST SUCCESS THE LLC THE PROTOTYPE BUILDING

23 KEY IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES DO IT NOW! Partnerships FEMP, NM ECMD, utilities, community groups, tribes FEMP-sponsored charrette 6 year strategic plan Quantified/achievable goals Public and partner access Culture-based experiential learning Campus master plan Prototype buildings 23

30 THE W.K. KELLOGG LIFELONG LEARNING CENTER - AN ANCIENT PATHWAY TO A NEW DIRECTION - THE PROTOTYPE HIGH PERFORMANCE BUILDING

31 THE LIFELONG LEARNING CENTER (LLC) A center for Native American scholarship and lifelong learning Only LLC for Native America Integrated planning underway Educational program development Architectural design Business and marketing plans Construction begins next fall if funding is secured 31

32 HIGH PERFORMANCE ELEMENTS 110,000 square foot mixed use building 60+% less energy 70% less potable water Xeric landscaping and interior gardens High performance elements showcased for experiential learning Opportunity to develop and test high performance design 32

50 INITIATIVE CHALLENGES Convincing college administrators and Board to support campus greening is not a challenge at IAIA Our challenges: Funding campus capital improvements and maintenance costs for water systems, renewable energy, energy management system, landscaping & paths Involving students and faculty Obtaining county and state approvals 50

51 CONCLUSIONS Though IAIA focus is on solutions for Native American institutions, our approach can provide examples for others The IAIA Initiative will: Address Santa Fe water and energy issues in creative and cost-effective ways Demonstrate appropriate and affordable solutions to water, energy and environmental problems Provide leadership in Native America to address water and energy issues 51

52 CONCLUSIONS (Cont.) Incorporating Native American values and culture enhances sustainable design Educational institutions have great potential to influence energy and water choices by education and example 52
