  7. Green Building Ripple Effect

  8. U.S. State Emissions Measured Against Countries

  9. was the question The better question is . . . Why Green? Why Not Green? It Just Makes Sense

  10. UF Green & Growing City within a City UF is BIG and consumes significant resources

  11. 2000 acres main campus 380 acres are conservation land 887 buildings on main campus 17,446,600 square foot main campus 1932 buildings on and off campus 20,372,666 square foot on and off campus Facts about University of Florida

  12. ~ 52,000 students 8,100 staff 4,350 faculty We are a city within a city Facts about University of Florida

  13. 18,000 tons per year total waste generated Each Home Game day generates additional: 9 tons at the stadium 7 tons tailgating Homecoming weekend generates additional: 29 tons Facts about University of Florida

  14. Utilities Consumption Electric: about $3.5 million per month Water: about $85,000 per month Steam: about $350,000 per month Facts about University of Florida

  15. Construction $400 million in design, planning and construction, new construction and major renovation Minor projects for building upgrades Facts about University of Florida

  16. University of Florida’s LEED Program • In 2001, University of Florida officially adopted (LEED) for its major renovation and new construction projects • January 2006, Minimum SilverLEED certification required • January 2009, MinimumGoldLEED certification required

  17. UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA LEED PROJECTS O A UF Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine Institute Legal Information & Phase II Law Building N Mary Ann Cofrin-Harn Pavilion B Baseball Locker Room Facility Gold M McGuire Center For Lepidoptera & Biodiversity C SW Stadium Expansion Certified Certified IFAS Biological & Agricultural Research Facility Q L EAST CAMPUS D Genetics & Cancer Research Center Graham Center at Pugh Hall Pathogens Research Facility P R Powell Structures and Materials Laboratory Not on Map Outside Main Campus Boundary Certified E K F H J G I Library West Additions & Renovations Veterinary Medicine Food Animal Facility Steinbrenner Band Building Biomedical Science Building Hub Renovation Nanoscale Research Facility M.E. Rinker Sr. Hall

  18. Only university nation wide LEED-NC • 11 certified projects • 2 Gold • 1 Silver • 5 Submitted for Certification • 21 Registered • 32 Registered, Portfolio program LEED-EB Total LEED Projects = 69

  19. UF’s Green Gross Square Footage (GSF) • LEED Certified Green GSF: 1.3 million GSF • LEED registered Green GSF: 2.7 million GSF

  20. Green Power Avoided emissions of 4,376,814 pounds of CO2 Taking 326 cars off the road Planting 353 acres of mature trees

  21. UF’s LEED Experience 10 certified New Construction and Major Renovation Projects

  22. UF’s LEED Experience

  23. UF’s LEED Experience As of October 2008 UF has over 1,800,000 Gross Square Footage of LEED NC Certified and Registered Projects Space

  24. LEED Cost • How much does a LEED building cost more than your traditional building? • What standards are associated with your traditional building? • How much more does LEED cost above code? How Green is/was your last project? • What level of certification are you striving for? • How experienced is your local contractor / design community?

  25. Current Soft Cost Data • Estimated soft costs (www.facilitiesnet.com) • People costs v. Energy or Construction costs

  26. Current Cost Data • Building costs represent less than 10% of the cost to own/operate building for life of project – 20 year lifecycle. (www.facilitiesnet.com)

  27. Cost Literature Review • LEED costs • GSA sites a range of less than 0% for LEED certified to a mean of 2.5% addition to total budget for LEED silver buildings. • UF Facilities Planning and Construction claim $0 additional dollars for a LEED certified building. • Davis Langdon (architect firm) states design firms produce LEED buildings as standard program elements (no additional design fee). • Greg Kats – Average Silver rating for schools (n=33) cost premium = 1.84% • Common perception minimum of 10%

  28. Conclusion on First Costs • As UF has gained experience with LEED projects the associated first costs and process has evolved. Major drivers of lowering costs include: • Experience of project team members and local market • Evolution of building standards to include LEED based language • Outcome based selection of credits and levels of certification

  29. Review of Annual Construction Performance and Building Savings • 10 certified buildings used in summary reports • Not all buildings achieved credits that are summed in the following slides • Comparisons are based on design estimates. Real data forthcoming this year. UF Annual Saving

  30. Water Saving

  31. Water Saving

  32. Water Saving

  33. Water Saving Combined Water and Wastewater

  34. Total Waste Diversion for Completed Projects Achieving Waste Diversion Credits

  35. Recycled Content % for Divisions 2-10 Materials Only

  36. Local Materials % for Divisions 2-10 Materials Only

  37. Commissioning

  38. Why Commission? • Complex building systems: • Increased energy efficiency • New technology • IAQ • Reduced environmental impact • ROI • Reporting and accountability • Construction Challenges • Compressed schedules • Training • Labor challenges • Budgets

  39. Why Commission? • Chilled water and steam system • Renewable source energy • Heat recovery • Chiller with heat recovery • Demand Control Ventilation (CO2) • M&V • BAS

  40. Why Commission? – Life-Cycle Perspective

  41. LEED-NC Cx • There are 2 components • EA Prerequisite 1: Fundamental Building • System Commissioning • EA Credit 3: Additional ( Enhanced) Commissioning • District Thermal Energy, Central plant (new since May 2008), EAp1 and EAc3

  42. Prerequisite Cx EA3 – Additional Cx Vs. OPR / BOD SD / DD Design Construction Documents Submittals Equipment Arrival Start Up BAS Controls Construction & Acceptance TAB Performance Verification O&M Training Systems Manual Post Occupancy In-Warranty Review

  43. Design Review • Cx performs DD, 60% CD & 100% CD reviews • Format used encourages 2-way dialogue • Back-check previous comments • Cx communicate with A/E to review comments and confirm understanding of design

  44. O&M/Submittal Review • CxA reviews either prior to or concurrent with AE review • All commissioned equipment reviewed • BAS control drawings reviewed • Cx provide facility staff with a list of key equipment set points
