SID-D Energy and Water Conservation All Projects must – Comply with ASHRAE – Mandatory ECMs listed – Evaluate potential ECMs listed – Water conservation measures listed $2M-$10M – DOE COMcheck software to demonstrate compliance – Document impact of ECMs incorporated >$10M – 30% beyond ASHRAE – DOE COMcheck software to demonstrate compliance – ASHRAE 90.1 computer energy simulation for baseline consumption – Document impact of ECMs incorporated – Provide an Energy Impact Statement Payback periods – SL 15yrs use 6 yr – SL over 20 yrs use 8 yr – Fenestration and glazing use 10 yr – Membrane roof insulation use 12 yr – All other insulation use 30 yr 11/15-16/10

SID-K Sustainable Design and LEED Prior to SD clarify sustainable design objectives Projects in existing LEED buildings cannot jeopardize LEED certification Non-clinical over $10M achieve LEED Silver certification unless waived by Executive Sustainability Council Baseline LEED checklist created 11/15-16/10

SID-S Sustainable Products Portfolio Simple to install and easy to maintain Long term durability Simple to operate Reliable Aesthetically pleasing Competitively priced Proven track record Replacement parts readily available and fairly priced Good local service Sustainable manufacturing process Sustainability claims can be validated Made from Renewable and/or Recycled Materials Locally Harvested/Extracted/Manufactured Low VOC content 11/15-16/10
