3. PROJECT BACKGROUND The GW School of Public Health and Health Services Established in 1997 and remains the only School of Public Health in DC Over 1200 students from every state and 38 nations More than 50 degree options, including 21 master’s degrees, 17 graduate certificates, 3 undergraduate degrees, and 7 doctoral degrees This new ‘home of its own’ (away from the medical school) will consolidates all 7 departments for the first time “We are not only contributing to public health, we are living it, shaping it, and influencing its future.”

16. SUMMARY

17. Why Trane TRACE 700 Easy conversion from load calculations to energy calculations. Unlimited max number of zones Capability of modeling different airside systems plus many HVAC plant configurations and control strategies, including Displacement Ventilation Systems, Active/Passive Chilled Beam Systems, Variable Refrigerant Volume Systems, Demand Control Ventilation, etc. that cannot be modeled with other energy modeling software Comprehensively and actively updated frequently to accommodate newly developed systems MODELING TO SOLUTIONS

18. Future Trends BIM Integrated Energy Models Combined Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Energy Models MODELING TO SOLUTIONS

19. Energy Modeling Throughout the Design Process Concept: Preliminary studies; load calculations Schematic Design: Identifies the primary energy uses Design Development: Conducts parametric analyses to evaluate alternative specifications & understand trade-offs between initial cost & life-cycle cost Construction Documents: Necessary to document compliance with codes such as the Energy Cost Budget method in the ASHRAE Standard 90.1 or the Total Building Performance section of the IECC MODELING TO SOLUTIONS

20. MODELING TO SOLUTIONS Possible Solutions Combined heat & power Triple glazing window Low e windows Chilled beam Displacement Ventilation LED Lighting Advanced Lighting Controls Photovoltaics Heat recovery chillers Heat wheels Geothermal Green power Green roof Wind Turbines Water side economizer Air side economizer Daylighting Ice storage Water reuse Water efficient plumbing fixtures Natural ventilation Operable windows Rainwater harvesting Sunshade screen Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems Solar Hot Water Heating

21. Heat Recovery Chiller Variable Air Volume Under Floor Displacement Variable Air Volume Chilled Beams Dedicated Outside Air Systems MODELING TO SOLUTIONS Improved Building Envelop

22. MODELING TO SOLUTIONS Skin Performance Terracotta Rain Screen – Open joints allow for air flow in the cavity behind the tiles. This creates a pressure balanced system when combined with compartmentalization of the cavity. Gaskets and overlapped joints are used to discourage water from entering the cavity while still allowing ventilation of the cavity. The air space and insulation increase the thermal performance of the exterior wall system.

23. MODELING TO SOLUTIONS Chilled Beams on Dedicated Outside Air Chilled beams reduce the need for cooling by air, allowing the use of dedicated ventilation.

24. Utilizes year-round cooling demands to generate heating water for HVAC use. Water use is also reduced at evaporative cooling towers. MODELING TO SOLUTIONS Heat Recovery Chiller

25. MODELING TO SOLUTIONS Under Floor Displacement Ventilation Displacement ventilation limits cooling to the occupied area and takes advantage of natural air currents to improve environmental quality.

26. MODELING TO SOLUTIONS Daylighting, Lighting, and Controls Integrating Artificial & Natural Lighting: Automated reduction of artificial lighting in response to daylight conditions on both interior and exterior. Energy Efficient Lighting: Extensive use of CFL and selected use of LED lights reduce energy use from required lighting. Controls: Lighting Management System in public spaces. Extensive use of occupancy sensors and timer switches throughout the building.

27. MODELING TO SOLUTIONS Storm Water Management and Reclamation

28. MODELING TO SOLUTIONS What Did NOT Apply & Why Combined Heating and Power: Project Scale; Initial Cost Photovoltaics: Irregular Roof Shape, Not Enough Roof Space Thermal Massing: Building Façade, Cost Natural Ventilation: Climate in Washington DC Area; Hot & Humid in Summer (Expand)

29. MODELING TO SOLUTIONS Combined Heat and Power Utilize locally consumed fuel to simultaneously generate power. Requires sustained demand for heating to run a generator.

30. MODELING TO SOLUTIONS Photovoltaics Can be applied to rooftops, and emerging technology includes facades. Requires large amounts of real estate.

31. MODELING TO SOLUTIONS Annual Energy Use Comparison Proposed Design vs. ASHRAE 90.1-2007 Baseline

32. MODELING TO SOLUTIONS Lessons Learned There is no one size fits all solution for a sustainable building. Systems can work against each other, do not make decisions in isolation. Be aware of the limitations of your energy model; complex systems cannot always be modeled out of the box. Energy models are predictive of, but not guar Try to minimize the glass area of the building. This project had 10% more glass allowed beyond Appendix G; which penalized the project of X energy points.
