Client Goals • Goals • Quality • LEED Certification - GOLD • Addressed by energy optimization tools & where the contractor can play a significant role • Schedule • Critical move-in date • Current Construction: Sept. 1, 2001 – April 17, 2003 • Desires to move in sooner if possible • Addressed by evaluating critical path for Tenant Fit-Out • Budget • Annual loan payment must meet current lease payments • Addressed by life cycle and annual costs
Presentation Agenda • Project Background • Critical Path Investigation • Interior Partitions • Energy Optimization • Mechanical Analysis • Lighting • Research • Contractor’s Role on a Green Building • Final Recommendations
Interior Partition Investigation • Typical Floor Plan • Owner Assumption: • Under Ceiling Walls are more Sustainable and less costly to remove - INVESTIGATE
Existing Conditions –Interior Partition • Type A– Exterior Part of Building • Type N – Interior • Type B – Interior & Exterior
Interior Partition Investigation • Assessment of Schedule • Risky – Short interval critical path activities gives rise to delays • Flow of work is stopped • Coordination- greater efforts needed • Loss production time – mobilize and tear-down twice • Solution • Use over ceiling walls to accelerate schedule
Interior Partition Investigation Every wall has comparative advantage and disadvantages All should be considered • Full Height • Reduced Schedule- 2 weeks per floor
Interior Partition Investigation • New Schedule • Flow of work is enhanced • Saves time & money on general conditions Investigation is not complete until walls are demolished.
Demolition • Under Ceiling wall • 4 feet replacement on each side of wall • Grid bends
Presentation Agenda • Project Background • Critical Path Investigation • Interior Partitions • Energy Optimization • Mechanical Analysis • Lighting • Research • Contractor’s Role on a Green Building • Final Recommendations
Mechanical Analysis • Goal • To assess the best energy efficient mechanical system for the Toyota Project • To gain maximum LEED Points = 10 • Basis for Investigation • Research showed successful geothermal systems in California
Mechanical Analysis • Advantages Geo-thermal Systems Bring • Mechanical equipment and space reduced • Maintenance costs halved • Piping would be reduced due to localized zoning systems • Extremely quiet system • Can be put virtually anywhere
Mechanical Investigation • Investigation of both systems on the Energy Modeling Tool for California Buildings • EQuest • Set up Zoning • 3D Model • System Flow Diagram • Detailed System
Geothermal System • Based on • 25 systems each… • 10 x 2 well configurations • Vertical Wells • 15 foot spacing • Internal Zoning
Geothermal System • Reasons for why geothermal was not ideal • Ground temperatures much warmer in So. CA ~ 55° • Need 1/3 longer vertical loops than a northeastern system • Runs solely on electrical energy, 1:8.7 ratio of gas to electrical cost in CA • Reasons why absorption chiller favors • Unusually high COP (.9 compared to .6) • Very low wet bulb So. CA • Only need direct (gas-fired) evaporation, adiabatic = low energy use
Presentation Agenda • Project Background • Critical Path Investigation • Interior Partitions • Energy Optimization • Mechanical Analysis • Lighting • Research • Contractor’s Role on a Green Building • Final Recommendations
Lighting Analysis • Goal • To investigate the existing lighting system for • Energy Efficiency • Cost • To incorporate more daylight into the space
Lighting Analysis • Existing System • Linear Lighting • A-B Switching • 2 lamp – T5 Standard • 2900 Lumens/lamp • LLF = .75 • 66 Watts/fixture
Existing Lighting Two Lamps On One Lamp On 40fc 35fc 30fc 25fc 20fc • 1.4 W/SF • Not including task lighting (allow .3 W/SF) • Ideal is 1.2W/SFfor office • .7 W/SF • Can use with day light only • Less optical control • 60’ x 42’ typical floor space
Lighting Analysis • Proposed Energy Efficient Design • One T5HO lamp w/Advance Stepped Ballast in same Linear Light Fixture • Orientate Lights horizontally to window • 1.15 Watts/SF • Plus task lighting 40fc 35fc 30fc 25fc 20fc
Day Lighting Investigation • Proposal • Use of Light Shelf = • Better Distribution of light • Diagram • Height = Illuminance • Distance is from window • DIST. FROM WINDOW • WINDOWSONLY • LIGHT SHELF ILLUMIN.
Day Lighting Investigation • Existing Day lighting- south (w/out fluorescent lights) • Harsh glare • No workable area until 30’ back in space 400 200 100 75fc 60fc 40fc 35fc 30fc 25fc 20fc
Day Lighting Investigation • 3D AutoCAD Model to AGI 32 Day lighting Usable occupancy space changes More comfort near windows 25’ 13’ 400 200 100 75fc 60fc 40fc 35fc 30fc 25fc 20fc
Cost Savings/Energy Analysis • New T5HO Design reduces material cost by $299,000 • Annual utility costs by $40,000
Presentation Agenda • Project Background • Critical Path Investigation • Interior Partitions • Energy Optimization • Mechanical Analysis • Lighting • Research • Contractor’s Role on a Green Building • Final Recommendations
Contractor’s Role on a Green Building • Literature Review • Very little information gear towards the contractor’s role • Goal • To develop guidelines of valued added activities a contractor may perform during a green project • Pre-Construction • Construction • Where is their role most significant? • Establish industry comments, concerns, and knowledge of issue
Contractor’s Role on a Green Building • Establishednetwork of green professionals around country • 32/60 surveys • 5 page questionnaire • Ranking of 94 potential possibilities • Many comments provided • 16 Contractors • 3 Design-Builders • 5 Architects • 3 Consultants • 4 A/E Managers • 1 Owner
Contractor’s Role on a Green Project ALL PARTICIPANTS EXPERIENCED PARTICIPANTS Design-Build high, more aware of potential of early involvement Architects & Consultants rate low, feel pre-con and finishing design is not where the contractor should have a big impact Less experienced people scored high. More experienced people knew more of what a contractor could actually accomplish • Questionnaire Ranking: 1= Contractors have little significance in this role • 4 = Contractor has significant impact to this role
Contractor’s Role on a Green Project Highest Ranked Areas • HIGH • Help owner and engineer to produce estimates of possible LEED points • Locate a recycle facility that can provide the resources to recycle all types of materials Lowest Ranked Areas for Pre-Construction Lowest Ranked Areas for Construction • LOW • Encourage conservation of existing natural features within a site plan • Suggest coogeneration
Contractor’s Role on a Green Project • Common & Interesting Comments • “A Design/Build Project delivery system would enhance the impact of the Construction Professional in Material/Equipment selection process” – Art Hunkele • “This industry really won’t change until the design and construction process begin to function as a seamless whole.” - Bill Reed • Suggested Future Research • Produce with the LEED guidelines a list of CM services • Developed a sustainable CII Process • This Research will be used towards articles for • Smart and Sustainable Built Environment- (International Conference –Australia) • United Nations Environmental Programme
Presentation Agenda • Project Background • Critical Path Investigation • Interior Partitions • Energy Optimization • Mechanical Analysis • Lighting • Research • Contractor’s Role on a Green Building • Final Recommendations
Final Recommendations • Change Under Ceiling Walls to Full Height Walls to accelerate schedule by 2 weeks per floor • Saves money of life cycle by reduced installation and general conditions (Not offset by demolition costs) • Keep existing Absorption Chiller System • Implement T5HO Light Design • Reduced lighting fixture package amount by $300,000 • Reduced annual utility costs by $40,000 • Addition of light shelves would increase interior day light and is worth considering • Emphasize contractor’s significant role on • Waste Management • Indoor Air Quality • Education
Final Recommendations • Challenges • Interior Walls might not meet sustainable environmental needs to reduce waste during the demolition phase • Geothermal Heat Pump will not be beneficial in high electrical priced environment • Hard to investigate energy analysis with light shelf due to limited energy modeling systems • A contractor’s role on a green project is challenging to define, varying with the opinion of different project team members
