1. 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

2. 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

7. 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

8. 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.
