Iron Forge Educational Center: U. S Iron Forge Educational Center: U.S. Green Building Council Certification Thermal Storage and Displacement Ventilation Project Update 6/2/14

Silver Certification by US Green Building Council or 2 Green Globe Certification for Additional 10% base Reimbursement from the PA Department of Education The LEED Rating System is flexible, not a ‘one-sized fits all’ approach There are a few prerequisites all projects must meet in the Rating System, and beyond that project teams can choose which credits to pursue based on their environmental and performance goals as long as they meet the minimum threshold for certification There are 4 different thresholds for LEED certification to recognize varying levels of achievement: Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum For Iron Forge, this is estimated as an additional $230,000 reimbursement for the project. 2

USGBC- LEED Certification 5 Primary Areas of Focus Energy Efficiency Targeting 25-35% More Efficient than National Average Energy Modeling will be completed in next 2-3 weeks Mechanical System Thermal Envelope Daylighting LED Lighting Interior & Exterior Occupancy Sensors Building Commissioning Indoor Environmental Quality Indoor Air Quality Thermal Comfort Lighting Controls Acoustics Daylight Low-Emitting Materials

Displacement Ventilation: Reduces energy use for Air Handling by 25%-30% More efficient air mixing Reduction in air handling equipment and ductwork size Associated reduction in power distribution Less noticeable air movement Supply air at a lower temperature difference from room air

Thermal Storage Tour of East Stroudsburg Area School District Thermal Storage Tour of East Stroudsburg Area School District 6 Buildings with Ice Storage for the past 25 years Advantages Generate and store cooling capacity during off-peak hours Chiller run at night will not create sound in vicinity of Children and Outdoor Play. Chiller operation more efficient at night (cooler temps). Reduced Cycling of Chiller Longer life expectancy of system Reduction in chiller plant size Approximately 1/3 Typical Size When chiller breaks, will provide repair window without much reduced capacity. Ice Storage acts as the chiller during the day.
