1 New Bus Administration, Operations, and Maintenance Facility for TRANSPO South Bend, Indiana

The $19,380,00 facility is designed for 76 buses. Construction will begin in August 2009.

3 Owner s Direction To design a state-of-the-art transit operations and maintenance facility that will stand the test of time A facility that is energy efficient reducing the long term operational costs of the facility. A facility that provides the best possible environment for our employees to work in, and for our customers to visit. The long term savings will be used to provide transit services to our customers. We are able to be partners with our environment and to set the example for others. Our new facility is to be one of a kind. We will attain the highest level of LEED certification possible for the project. We want to be leaders not followers.

5 LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.

6 LEED = Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Rating Systems LEED NC v2.2 Rating Levels Certified Silver Gold Platinum = points = points = points = points

7 LEED NC2.2 Summary Currently the project has 49 yes credits + 6 strong credits sustainable sites: 12 water efficiency: 4 energy & atmosphere: 10 materials & resources: 7 indoor environmental quality: 11 innovation and design process: 5 Final Energy Model results should increase the 49 number by another 1-3 points. Final results on the strong credits will be determined after construction is complete, and enhanced commissioning occurs.

9 85% of Indiana s wetlands have been lost since the late 1700 s. Sustainable Design Approach SITE: Native non-irrigated landscaping Ground source heat pump for heating and cooling office spaces Bio-swale treatment of storm water runoff to remove pollutants Restore biologically diverse native habitat and wetlands Previously developed industrial brownfield site Minimize parking to less than local zoning requirements ENERGY CONSERVATION/CARBON REDUCTIONS Shading to reduce heat gain through glazing GSHP Heat recovery in Bus Storage and Maintenance Radiant slab in maintenance Daylight and occupancy sensors in all regularly occupied spaces Passive convection air flow in Bus Storage Super insulated wall and roof systems Minimize artificial lighting during daylight hours Evaluate renewable energy systems potential (2.5% minimum) Provide a cost estimate for purchase of various levels of off-site renewable energy

10 Annual Precipitation: Rain 72.9 Snow Sustainable Design Approach WATER CONSERVATION: Native non-irrigated landscaping 100% on-site storm detention Reclaim and reuse 80% of Bus Wash rinse cycle Low flow plumbing fixtures EFFICIENCY AND QUALITY OF OPERATIONS: Shading to reduce heat gain and glare through glazing Bus circulation patterns Appealing public and private spaces Alternative fuel capabilities Limit artificial lighting in all regularly occupied spaces Bike racks and exercise room MATERIALS: Maximize recycled content in all structural materials (CMU, Concrete, Steel) Locally harvested and manufactured products Low VOC content for all finishes High recycled content for all finishes FSC certified lumber
