1 LEED Overview

2 What is Green Design? Design and construction practices that significantly reduce or eliminate the negative impact of buildings on the environment and occupants that address: Sustainable site planning Safeguarding water and water efficiency Energy efficiency Conservation of materials and resources Indoor environmental quality Historic Drivers: Oil crisis, sick building syndrome, economics, marketing Future: Restorative Design

3 What is LEED? Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design Green building rating system Comprehensive & National Site Water Energy Materials Indoor Documentation based Evolves over time

4 LEED-NC Structure 6 categories Indoor 7 mandatory prerequisites 34 credits 69 points Environmental Quality 23% Materials & Sustainable Sites 22% Categories not equally weighted Points not equal benefit Resources 20% Energy & Atmosphere 27% Water Effici ency 8%

5 LEED-NC Levels Four levels of certification: LEED Certified points Silver Level points Gold Level points Platinum Level points There is no Bronze level

6 LEED-NC Scorecard

7 LEED Process

8 D/P/S Approach to LEED Performance first: energy/carbon, water People (nearly) first: comfort, operable windows, healthy materials Material conservation Streamline the process and paperwork Support the owner, consultant, and contractors throughout the process

9 LEED Process LEED needs to be integrated into the design process Requires buy-in from entire team Can be accomplished with any delivery method Owner LEED Architect General Contractor Civil MEP Structural Interiors Landscape Subcontractors

10 LEED Process LEED needs to integrated into the design process Requires buy-in from entire team Can be accomplished with any delivery method Owner Architect/LEED General Contractor Civil MEP Structural Interiors Landscape Subcontractors

11 LEED Process Team Composition Who will manage the LEED effort? Who will the commissioning agent work for? Any need for specialty consultants? Cisterns, daylight, acoustics, energy modeling Integrated design Propose, evaluate, refine strategies Brainstorming, charettes, reviews Maximize benefits, minimize risks Experience matters Material knowledge Process support Credit strategy overlaps

12 LEED Process (Students, patients, etc.)

13 Setting Targets How do you set reasonable targets, and avoid point chasing? Efficiency is not a Yes or No question Code is just the beginning, we need to offer an alternative LEED is usually a midpoint Performance is a spectrum Code LEED Zero Restorative

14 Water Targets 0% Code compliant, EPA % 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 30% Jefferson Green Low-flow urinals, faucet sensors 53% Thornburg Waterless urinals, dual flush toilets, faucet sensors Waterless and low-flow fixtures Graywater or rainwater reuse

15 Energy Targets 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% Good glazing, improved roof Packaged air-to-air heat pumps

16 Energy Targets 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% Good glazing, improved roof Packaged RTUs with VAV

17 Energy Targets 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% Improved roof and envelope High efficiency RTUs

18 Energy Targets 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% Improved roof & glazing Underfloor air, evap cooling, lighting sensors, operable windows

19 Energy Targets 0% 10% 20% 30% Improved roof & glazing Underfloor air, evaporative cooling, operable windows 40% 50% 60% 70% 80%

20 Case Study: Jefferson Green

21 Jefferson Green 2 separate LEED projects LEED-CS Gold LEED-CI Gold

22 Jefferson Green Speculative building Multiple tenants Market rate Performance Energy Water Tenant amenities LEED certification 85,000sf 3 stories

23 Envelope Respond to solar orientation Typical R-19 walls, clear low-e glazing External shading

24 Envelope Reflective roof R-30 insulation Operable windows

25 Envelope Iterative design process -Performance - Aesthetics - Modeling/Calcs - Energy vs daylight vs views vs budget

26 System Design Underfloor air distribution Evaporative cooling Direct/indirect Free cooling Refrigerated backup Rooftop AHUs Gas boilers T5 fluorescent lighting 45% energy savings

27 System Design Integrated design of UFAD: Reduced building height by 2-6 and downsized equipment Helped offset cost of system Architectural detailing of walls and penetrations Coordination of diffusers, flooring, and furniture

28 Impact on People

29 Interior Environment

30 Materials Natural Recycled Regional Renewable Reused Low-emitting

31 Materials Natural linoleum flooring and tackwall: renewable, recycled War room walls are xorel, a durable recycled fabric product Low-emitting paints, coatings, adhesives, sealants, carpets, and composite wood Green Guard certified furniture with recycled content

32 Construction

33 Site Preserve existing trees Direct run-off to planted areas Xeric landscaping Irrigation from the city s non-potable line Cutoff light fixtures to minimize light pollution Bike racks and a designated smoking area

34 Costs & Benefits 1 st LEED-CS project in NM 1 st LEED Gold commercial office building in NM 1 of only a handful of Double Gold buildings in the world

35 LEED Costs National studies say 2%, we estimate 2-5% Minimizing first cost is not always the best decision Jefferson Green: 5% premium, 5 year payback Invested in envelope and systems Lower bills than previous building (1/3 the size) Utility cost of $0.70/sf (instead of $2/sf) Costs include: USGBC fees of 3.5 cents/sf Fees for LEED management, commissioning agent, energy modeling Additional construction first costs

36 Costs & Benefits What does this building save per year? 6,290,000 kbtu energy 858 tons CO2 emissions 222,300 gallons of water indoors
