12. High performance building standards

14. Project Delivery Process Project Delivery Process: High Performance Design Projects are expected to commit to a high level of environmentally responsible design. Environmentally responsible design encourages the design team to incorporate the best elements of sustainable, high performance, and energy efficient design and construction practices.

15. Project Delivery Process Project Delivery Process: High Performance Design The goal is to reduce operating costs, improve the health and productivity of the occupants, and minimize negative environmental impacts over the life of the building. The team should use a whole-building, integrated design approach and include life-cycle cost analysis throughout the design process.

16. Guidelines and Standards

17. Sidney E. Frank Hall for Life Sciences 170,000 square foot dry and wet laboratory building for brain sciences Early environmentally responsible design charrette, and extensive energy modeling. Registered for LEED certification

18. Selected LEED Points for LSB Brownfields Redevelopment –Remediation of urban site Rainwater Storage for Irrigation Energy Reduction –High performance windows reduced first cost and operating costs by eliminating the need for perimeter radiation Carpool Spaces for Building –LEED process pushed this Additional Commissioning – Provides quality control – Verifies high performance goals for the building

21. Recommendations from the Environmental Task Force to reduce energy use and emissions despite campus growth

22. Reducing Consumption on an Expanding Campus Energy Utilization Index Reduction Targets with Square Footage Increases. If campus square footage is increasing and the goal is to reduce, or at least level out energy consumption, we need to set goals for new construction and existing facilities

23. Achieve an overall campus energy use reduction of 5% in 2020 compared to 2005. –Target a 1% to 2% annual reduction in total building energy utilization Target new construction and major renovation –At least 25% to 40%+ lower energy use than code requirement Energy Use and Emissions Reduction Recommended Goals
