  1. SUSTAINABILITY

  2. SUSTAINABILITY • “Sustainability is based on a simple principle: Everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment. Sustainability creates and maintains the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony, that permit fulfilling the social, economic and other requirements of present and future generations.  Sustainability is important to making sure that we have and will continue to have, the water, materials, and resources to protect human health and our environment.”

  3. SUSTAINABILITY • What HSC is doing to lead the charge to become sustainable: • Reduction of paper and waste through technologies developed by the group – ATEI Advancement of Technology Initiative.

  4. SUSTAINABILITY - RECYCLE • Reduction of waste to landfills through the waste recycling program. • Use of recycle bins in campus buildings – • Use of recycle dumpster for all non-organic waste, wood, paper, cardboard etc. -

  5. SUSTAINABILITY - RECYCLE • Specifications for construction requiring waste recycling – “Required Recycling, Salvage, and Reuse: The following may not be disposed of in landfills or by incineration: • 1. Aluminum and plastic beverage containers. • 2. Corrugated cardboard. • 3. Wood pallets. Clean dimensional wood: May be used as blocking or furring. • 4. Land clearing debris, including brush, branches, logs, and stumps. • 5. Metals • 6. Plastic buckets. • 7. Paint. • 8. Windows, doors, and door hardware. • 9. Mechanical and electrical equipment. “ PSP #312123-Temple MR Gross Lab

  6. SUSTAINABILITY-MATERIALS • Implementing the use of Sustainable / Renewable materials in construction • Use of organic nonvolatile chemicals for landscape and pest control • All fertilizers and pre-emergent applications are to be of organic material. If organic option is not available or is less effective and not sustainable, approval must be obtained by TAMHSC, HSC Landscape maintenance specification 11/17/11 • Use of low or no VOC emitting materials in new or remodel construction.

  7. SUSTAINABILITY – BUILDING LIFE CYCLE • Improved Building life cycle through improved maintenance • Development of COBIE Data on new facilities • Construction Operations Building information exchange. • A scalable information exchange format for the life-cycle capture and delivery of information needed by facility managers. • Integration of COBIE data into Asset Works AIM system

  8. SUSTAINABILITY – BUILDING LIFE CYCLE • Building QA/QC inspections to identify O&M and Deferred maintenance- Generates work orders

  9. SUSTAINABILITY • Buildings designed and constructed similar to the LEEDAP model – Building Information Modeling, BIM, for better operations and maintenance.

  10. SUSTAINABILITY - ENERGY • Implementation of energy strategies to reduce consumption and carbon footprint • New temperature setpoint standards • Restrict use of personal space heaters • Night Setback/shut downs • Outdoor air resets

  11. SUSTAINABILITY - ENERGY • Energy is trending down on our campuses from implementing no cost low cost changes.

  12. SUSTAINABILITY - ENERGY • Reduction of energy consumption and the HSC carbon Footprint through the Energy Management Group • Higher standards for energy reduction in new facility design including: • Building Thermal envelope design, insulation, glazing, reduced infiltration design

  13. SUSTAINABILITY - ENERGY • Higher standards for energy reduction in new facility design including: • Mechanical system design – higher equipment and system efficiencies – Rebate letters, Gross Lab Calculation

  14. SUSTAINABILITY - ENERGY • Higher standards for energy reduction in new facility design including: • Mechanical system design – higher equipment and system efficiencies –Gross Lab Calculation

  15. SUSTAINABILITY - ENERGY • Electrical system design including lighting design • Power Factor Correction • High efficiency motors • Variable Speed Drives • LED Lights • Evaluation of renewable energy sources, solar, wind etc. • Defining where these technologies can be applied economically

  16. SUSTAINABILITY • Reduction of water usage and reduced sanitary waste • Plumbing system design and waste recovery • Low water consumption fixtures, faucets, toilets and urinals • Recovery of air conditioner condensate for landscape irrigation
