1 360° 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

15  Green Cleaning & Recycling  Next…composting!  Waste audits Materials & Waste Management

16  Waste audits (cont.)
