Building Envelope
The Building Envelope Includes Everything that
Separates the Interior of the Building with the
Outdoor Environment Such as:
- Windows & Doors
- Insulation
- Foundations/Basement Slabs
- Walls, Ceilings and Floors
- Roof
 High-Performance Envelope Helps Maintain
Consistent Temperature Regardless of Weather

Windows

Account for 10%-25% of Heating Bill and Make A/Cs
Work 2-3 Times Harder
Install Double-Pane Low-E coatings with a NFRC Label,
Low U-Value Insulation of .35 or Lower and Low SHGC
Along With Air Leakage Ratings of .3 Cubic Ft./Minute
Installing Storm Windows Reduce Heat Loss 25%-50%.
Install White Window Coverings to Reflect Heat Away
from Building
Apply Sun-Control or Reflective Film on South Facing
Windows to Reduce Solar Gain
Keep Windows Clean to Maximize Solar Gain
Insulation



Insulation Works Best When ALL Air Leaks
are Minimized
Only 20% of Buildings Constructed Before
1980 were Well-insulated
Most Common Types are:
1) Batts
2) Rolls
3) Loose-Fill
4) Rigid Foam Boards
Immediate Payoffs
Use ENERGY STAR
Product Purchases

What is ENERGY STAR?
It is a government-backed program helping businesses and individuals
protect the environment through superior energy efficiency. ENERGY
STAR products have to meet strict energy efficient guidelines. ENERGY
STAR products use an average of 40% less energy than other products.
Incandescent Bulb vs.
Compact Fluorescent Light

ENERGY STAR CFLs use 66% less energy
than a standard incandescent bulb and lasts 10
times longer.

If every household replaced one bulb with a
CFL, it would prevent enough pollution to
equal removing one million cars from the road.
Toilets


Flushing accounts for 45% of indoor water
use or 32,000 gallons per year per family
Ways to Reduce Costs:
1) Charge Residents
2) Have a routine for Checking Leaks (can
waste up to 200 gallons per day)
3) Install Ultra Low-Flow Toilets that
Require 1.6 Gallons per Flush
4) Reduce Tank Capacity by Placing a OneGallon Jug of Water in Tank
Water Heaters


Water Heating is the Third Largest Energy
Expense and Accounts for 14% of Utility Bills.
FIVE Ways to Cut Water Heating Bills:
1) Lower the Thermostat to 120 Degrees
2) Do Not Install it in an Unheated Room
3) Minimize the Length of Piping
4) Install Aerators in Faucets and Shower Heads
5) Install a Insulating Blanket

Check Ducts for Air Leaks
A Heat Pump to your Electric Heater Could
Trim 30%-40% Electrical Usage
Rope Caulk Leaky Windows
Install a Clock Thermostat to Common
Areas
Office: Shut off All Electronics When Not in
Use
Use Dimmers, Timers and Motion Detectors

CPTED
Crime Prevention Through
Environmental Design
“The proper design and effective use of the
built environment can lead to a reduction in
the fear and incidence of crime, and an
improvement of the quality of life.”
CPTED Strategies
Natural Surveillance
 Natural Access Control
 Territorial Reinforcement
 Maintenance

Natural Surveillance
The Placement of
Physical Features,
Activities and
People to
Maximize
Visibility
Natural Surveillance
Safety is an
Issue at This
Entrance
Because of
Overgrown
Tree &
Shrubs
Natural Surveillance
Examples
Exterior Doors Should be Visible from
Street
 Parking Spaces Should Never be
Marked with Apartment Number
 Recreation Area Visible from Several
Directions
 Shrubs Lower than 3 Feet

Natural Access Control
Physical Guidance
of People Coming
and Going From a
Space by the
Judicial Placement
of Entrances,
Fences,
Landscaping &
Lighting
Natural Access Control
Examples
Balcony Railings, Never Solid Wood
 Dead End Space Blocked by Fence/Gate
 Hallway Well Lit
 No More than 4 Apartments Sharing
Same Entrance
 Access to the Building Should be
Limited to No More than Two Points

Territorial
Reinforcement
The Use of Physical
Attributes that Express
Ownership Such as
Fencing, Pavement
Treatments, Signage &
Landscaping
Territorial Reinforcement
Examples
Property Lines Defined by Landscaping
or Fencing
 Street Addresses
 Building Name
 Common Doorways Controlled by
Residents
 Mailboxes Near Entrance

Maintenance
Allows for the
Continued Use of
a Space for its
Intended Purpose
Maintenance Examples
All Landscaping Perfectly Manicured
 No Sign of Deferred Maintenance
 No Trash, Debris, or Old Couches
 No Inoperable Vehicles
 No Blankets or Aluminum for Curtains
