 Site
› Native vegetation
 Reduces need for fertilizers and irrigation
 Reduced maintenance
 Reduced use of fossil fuel
 Reduced use of chemicals
 Reduction in pollution
 Site
› No Mow Grass
 Conserves fossil fuels by
eliminating the need to cut
the lawn.
 No mow varieties of fescue need little
irrigation to sustain themselves and are
perfect partners with the other drought
tolerant native landscape species used on
this project.
 Site
› Water efficient landscaping
 Restricts use of potable
water to establish plants.
 Once the trees and plants
on this project are established, the native
species require no irrigation.
 This saves thousands of gallons of fresh
water every year.
 Site
› Natural storm water filtration
 100% of storm water is held on site to replenish
aquifers and prevent erosion
› No new parking added
 Reduces the need for pavement and loss of
biomass.
 Materials

› Local/regional materials
› Construction waste management
› Low embodied energy materials
 Indoor
Environment Quality
› High indoor air quality
› Thermal comfort controls
› Dynamic thermal environment
 Indoor
Environment Quality
› Low-emitting material
 Curbs the release of harmful gasses in building
materials (Volatile Organic Compounds).
 VOCs come from thousands of products
(paints, lacquers, paint strippers, cleaning
supplies, pesticides, adhesives, building
materials, furnishings).
 Concentrations of many VOCs are up to 10x
higher indoors.
 Energy
› Designed for 30 to 35% more energy
efficient than standard construction
practices and regulations.
› High efficiency lighting system.
› CO2 sensors monitor occupancy and
exchange air only as needed.
 Energy
› The building will measure and monitor the
performance of renewable energy system
as well as a few other building utility
performances.
 On
Site Renewable Energy
› (Pending) Photo voltaic
panels to produce 6.3kW
electricity.
› (Pending) Will produce enough power to
light (63) 100 watt light bulbs.
› Solar power will offset building’s
dependence on fossil fuel produced
electricity.
 On
Site Renewable Energy
› Turbines in water faucets regenerate
electricity that power the electric eyes
that turn water on and off automatically.
 Heat
Recovery Unit (HRU)
› Uses separate blowers to move incoming
fresh and outgoing stale air.
› Heats fresh air without mixing airstreams.
› Easier on mechanical systems.
› Uses less energy to heat outside air.
› 85% recovery of heat in outgoing
airstream.
Heat
Recovery
Unit
Heat-exchange core
• Thin aluminum passages.
• Air flows in/out in alternate passages.
• Heat transferred from warm stale air to
cool air.
 Water
› Water saving fixtures

 Water
› Public access to
filtered water
discourage use
of bottled water.
to
 Dual
Flush Toilet Technology
› Larger trapway.
› Wash-down flushing design.
› No siphoning action.
› 40% reduction in water usage
which exceeds LEED
requirement by 10%.
› There are two ways to flush the toilets.
 The user determines how much water is used
to flush the toilet.
 Thermoplastic
Polyolefin Roofing
Membrane (TPO)
› Eliminates heat island effect on roofs.
› White in color.
› Reflects heat from the sun.
› Reduces cooling loads on building.
› Reduces heat discharged into
atmosphere.
› Requires less maintenance.
1. TPO membrane;
2. Fastening element for thermal insulation;
3. Fastening element for TPO membrane;
4. Thermo insulation
5. Vapor insulation;
6. Corrugated roof deck;
7. Roofbeam.
 Recycled
Content
› Use less virgin or new material in
manufacture of building materials.
› Recycled fly ash in concrete.
Green Construction
› 20% post-consumer and pre-consumer
recycled materials.
 Alternative
Transportation
•Bike parking and
accommodations for the
two wheeled
conveyances is located
within 200 yards of the
building entrance.
•Can house bikes for at
least 5% of the building
users.
 Alternative
Transportation
•Bike parking and
accommodations for the
two wheeled
conveyances is located
within 200 yards of the

•Can house bikes for at
least 5% of the building
users.
 Alternative
Transportation
•Reserved parking
promotes the use of
low-emitting/fuel
efficient vehicles.
•These stalls comprise
5% of the parking
stalls and typically
designate preferred
parking.
 Alternative
Transportation
Take the bus!
•The campus is on (2)
active bus routes.
•Lessens dependence
on fossil fuels.
•A sustainable practice
that helps qualify for the
Community
Connectivity Credit.
 Construction
Waste Management
› Goal: Divert at least 75% construction
waste from landfills (105,000 pounds).
› Typical construction produces 2.5 pounds
of waste per square foot.
› Recycled scrap steel, wood, concrete,
cardboard, paper, metals and glass.
 Certified
Sustainable Wood
› Makes up at least 50% of the total wood
used on this project.
› Framing, flooring, wood doors and interior
finishes needs to be certified in
accordance with the Forest Stewardship
Council (FSC) Principals and Criteria for
wood building components.
 Certified
Sustainable Wood
› Using FSC certified wood encourages
environmentally responsible forest
management and saves our virgin forests.
 Regional
Materials
› Brick, steel, concrete, glass,
aluminum and wood have
been mined, extracted, manufactured
and shipped from production facilities
within 500 miles of the project site.
› Make up at least 50% of the total construction
materials on this project.
 No
Smoking
› Indoor air quality is
preserved by adhering
to environmental tobacco
smoke control practices.
› There is no smoking within at least 20 feet
of the entrances to this facility.
 Pollution
Prevention
› Protected against topsoil
erosion.
› Controlled the amount of dust that
became airborne ultimately affecting the
air we breathe.
› Post-construction areas of the site were
restored to their natural habitat having
little or no impact on the local ecosystem.
 Light
Pollution
› Full cut-off dark sky compliant light fixture
reduce light pollution.
› Can light parking lot without any up-light
component that can illuminate the night
sky.
› Also controls light “spill over “ that can
encroach on neighboring properties.
Green Roof
(Installation Pending)
› Roof tops designed to
accommodate weight
of roof top gardens.
› Will beautify the roofs
visible from inside the
CAC and across
campus.
Green Roof
› Planted trays of
vegetation are
perennial.
› Requires no irrigation
besides annual rainfall.
Green Roof
› Plant material acts as a
barrier to reflect heat in
the summer.
› Insulates heat in the
winter.
Green Roof
› Vegetated roofs
reduce the heat island
effect by not
contributing to the
amount of heat that
enters the atmosphere.
 Enhanced
Refrigerant Management
› The building’s cooling systems do not
contain compounds that contribute to
ozone depletion and global warming.
› Only non-ozone depleting refrigerants are
used in the cooling equipment in the
