Sustainable Site
Brown field redevelopment
Urban redevelopment area
Bicycle storage and shower/ changing rooms available for alternative transportation
Preferred parking and program for carpooling and alternative fuel vehicles to serve 12% of occupants
Reduced site disturbance through open space to encourage habitat
Storm water management through BMP of vegetated filter strips, wet extended detention pond, constructed wetlands and grassed swales and a strict policy against the use on site of products containing phosphorus
100% of non roof areas will be shaded in 5 years and impervious areas are provided light colored concrete to reduce heat island effect.
100% of roof meets emissivity requirements and complies with Energy Star to reduce heat island effect.
Water Efficiency
Landscaping uses native and adaptive vegetation and does not require not require permanent irrigation system
38.66% water use reduction through use of low-flow and water efficient fixtures and appliances
Energy & Atmosphere
Optimized energy efficiency through a 23.2% energy reduction compared to ASHRAE 90.1-1999
Higher insulation values, heat recovery, efficient windows
Under floor air distribution and more efficient HVAC equipment
Lower lighting power density and day lighting,
Additional commissioning
Plan for sub metering water and energy usage
HCFC and Halon free HVAC (heating ventilation and air conditioning) equipment
Green power purchased to meet 100% of the building electrical needs for over of 2 years
Materials & Resources
Occupant recycling
Diverted 59.84% of construction waste through effective waste management plan
12.78% of total building materials by value contain recycled materials
36.8% local and regional materials manufactured regionally
17.2% harvested ore extracted locally
59% of wood based materials were certified in accordance with FSC principles and criteria
Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ)
CO2 sensors monitor to outside ambient levels and increased ventilation if exceeding thresholds
Under floor air delivery system provides increased ventilation effectiveness in compliance with ASHRAE 129-1997
Construction IAQ Management plan was in compliance with SMACNA guidelines, during construction, MERV 8 filters were installed at grilles
Low emitting adhesive and sealants were used
Low emitting paints were used
Low emitting carpet was used
Indoor pollutant source control
Controllability of non perimeter temperature, ventilation and lighting systems
Designed for thermal comfort compliance with ASHRAE 55 – 1992 for relative humidity and temperature
Thermal comfort monitoring system installed for compliance with ASHRAE 55 – 1992 for relative humidity and temperature
2% day lighting factor for 75.1% of occupied space for critical visual tasks achieve
99% of all occupants have direct line of sight to views for all space occupied for critical visual tasks
