2. The Terry Thomas Sustainable and Ecological Architecure By: William Wenik

3. General Information

4. Seattle, Washington

5. Commercial/Office building

6. New Construction  Former light industrial complex, changed into an office  97% of materials were reused

7. Dates  Finished in April 2008  Won AIA top ten award in 2009

8. Architect  Designed by Scott Thompson, Weber Thompson, and Peter Greaves

9. Ecological Materials and Resources used

10. Green Materials  Steel beams for low cost, and allows light and air to circulate  Prioritize materials with recycled content  Acoustical panels double as light reflectors  Ranked as LEED certified platinum

11. Cost effective Materials  Concrete slab polished and used as floor  94% of materials from old building salvaged and reused in the Terry Thomas  The primary structural system and building skin are constructed of steel for durability, recyclability and reusability.

12. Energy Efficiency

13.  open floor plan to allow exterior daylighting to penetrate the interior  high-low openings to remove unwanted heat by stack ventilation  Occupancy sensors, dimming switches, and photoelectric daylight sensors  high-low openings to remove unwanted heat by stack ventilation

16.  lighting control systems, automated dampers, exterior blinds, and radiator temperature  daylighting, natural ventilation, and passive solar heating  No HVAC, uses passive cooling  Low VOC paints  east and west elevations have some glazing and punched windows with fixed glass and steel sunshades to reduce amount of solar heat it absorbs.

19. Site Ecology

20.  Built in area with parks, light industrial buildings, offices, and multi-family residences  Built next to a streetcar line  On site showers encourage biking and jogging to work  Design development with pedestrians in mind

26.  Employees receive free passes to use public transportation  Land for building ideal for passive cooling and use of solar energy  Employees can plant small gardens  Plant trees and bushes along streets, bushes and vines in courtyard

27. Water Resources

28.  Goal is to conserve as much potable water as possible

29. Dual flush toilets

30. Waterless Urinals

31. Automatic Faucets, solar powered

32. Low flow showerheads

33. Water saving dishwaters

34.  Avergae water use: 156,960 gallons  Avergae similar sized building water use:337,326 gallons  53.5% more efficient water use  No HVAC system and better graywater systems help conserve water

35. Cost Implication  Energy consumption cut by more than 30%,  water by 53.5%,  low cost materials, and few materials used, materials serve dual purpose=less materials needed=$$$  Energy consumption 51% less than average american workspace  Used 46.38 kbtu per square foot, avergae workspace uses 79.8 per year
