360° View of Sustainable Work Environments Group 14 Engineering & Ampajen Solutions
2
Integrated Design / O+M Planning & Preparation Never too early! Green Champions “Trickle Down” It starts with the team!
3
For Existing Buildings, Current Facility Requirements (CFR) Consultant Generated = Bad Not Generated = Bad Arbitrary Targets = Bad A FMs tool for communicate existing conditions Base Building Systems/Building Limitations Sole Sourced Vendors Company Culture and Programmatic Needs Owner’s Project Requirements
4
Identify Strategies that Achieve Sustainability Goals Upfront Design team’s responsibility Use CFR as a reality check (O&M staff’s responsibility) Make this a Living Document for the Life- Cycle of your Building OPR/CFR Best Practices
5
The importance of transportation Urban location advantages Benefits of telecommuting – it’s not all about emissions! Sustainable Site Management The snow removal challenge Reduced emissions from site maintenance The “F” word… Fertilization! Sites
6
Living with low flow Hot water, piping, maintenance (soaps and solids) Irrigation Plantings Technologies Be a drip! Water
7
Show Me The Money! Water Space TypeLow Flow Aerators Low Flow Shower Heads Low Flow Flush Valves Water Efficient Irrigation Systems Performance Assumptions 2.2 to 1.5/1.0 GPM 2.5 to 1.5 GPM 3.0 to 1.6 GPM It Depends Office2 years2 – 4 years4 – 8 years Multi-Family<1 year1 – 2 years3 – 4 years Assumes 80% efficient DHW Plant
8
Go Cheap or Go Big (Hint: Plan for Both) Energy
9
Energy – RCx 2.0, or MBCx
10
Good Fit for any Building with a BAS Start with the Budget you have Under a few thousand to get started (one time fee) Group14 preferred vendor: SkySpark by SkyFoundry Like RCx, should be less than two year payback Energy - MBCx
11
ENERGY STAR evolving Regression/Cost Avoidance based software tools can be very powerful Energy – Utility Data Management
12
Energy – Utility Data Management (DHA Case Study) ReportAction Electric Heating Use, by addressWork order to remove space heater High Electricity Baseload, by address Energy Manager/Maintenance Supervisor Investigates High Summer Gas Use, by addressEnergy Manager/Maintenance Supervisor Investigates Exceeds allowable irrigation water use Call Irrigation Management Vendor Kgal/SF VarianceEnergy Manager/Maintenance Supervisor Investigates Btu/DD/SF Variance (Winter Heating), by address Work Order to Functionally Test Unit, reset thermostat high limit Continuous Commissioning Fault Detection Central Plant work order Deficiency noted during M&V Inspections Work order to address deficiency
13
Energy – Go Big/Deep Retrofit Consider all Major Capital Improvements over Next Several Years Informed by Whole Building Analysis Considers Reputation/Market Position Paired with Financial Planning Multi-Stage Project, with Specified “Triggers” www.rmi.org/retrofit_depot
