  1. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification GREEN BUILDING Requires a new way of thinking and approaching the design, construction, operation, and renovation of buildings and communities. PNC Place Washington, DC

  2. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification GETTING STARTED Principles for successful practice: Process. A good process is essential to good outcomes.

  3. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification GETTING STARTED Principles for successful practice: Get in Early.

  4. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification GETTING STARTED • Traditional Building Design Timeline • Design • Construction Documents (CDs) (Plans, Specifications, Contracts, etc.) • Bidding process • Construction • Commissioning and turnover • Occupancy • Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) Timeline • Pre-Design • Design • Construction plans • Bidding process • Construction • Commission the building • Occupancy and Retro commissioning

  5. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification GETTING STARTED • Pre-Design • Develop a Clear Statement of the Project's Vision • Define the Green Goals of the Building • Set Priorities • Select the project team • Research green technologies and strategies • Define green building budget items • Review applicable laws and standards • Design • Develop a project budget that covers green building measures • Test and select green technologies and strategies • Check costs • Finalize design decisions

  6. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification GETTING STARTED Whole Building Design

  7. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification GETTING STARTED In IPD the entire team works in Collaboration not in Isolation.

  8. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification GETTING STARTED Principles for successful practice: Follow Through. The green building process does not end when the project team hands the site over to the owner, facility manager, or tenant. Follow-through is needed at all stages to ensure that the strategies and technologies are maintained or adapted as necessary to remain effective.

  9. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification GETTING STARTED Principles for successful practice: Look beyond first costs to long-term savings. This new process doesn't typically cost more, but it does shift costs earlier. Synergies are actions that complement each other, creating a whole greater than the sum of its parts. The savings are often reflected in life cycle costing (LCC).

  10. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification GETTING STARTED Construction Costs Soft Costs Architectural, legal, financing, engineering fees and other costs incurred before and after construction Hard Costs Directly related to improving real property First Costs The sum of the initial expenditures involved in capitalizing a property; includes items such as transportation, installation, preparation for service, as well as other related costs.

  11. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification GETTING STARTED Construction Costs Life Cycle Costs (LCC) A measurement of the total cost of using equipment or a product over the entire time of service of the equipment or product; includes initial, operating, and maintenance costs. Life-Cycle Analysis (LCA) A life cycle analysis (LCA, also known as life cycle assessment, ecobalance, and cradle-to-grave analysis) is the investigation and evaluation of the environmental impacts of a given product or service caused or necessitated by its existence.

  12. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification GETTING STARTED Simple Payback Example - HVAC System $10,000 – First Cost Or $15,000 – First Cost $1,500/YR in Energy Cost Savings Calculate Simple Payback: $5,000/$1,500 = 3.33 Yrs Design team should use “Life-Cycle Costs” and “Life-Cycle Cost Analysis” instead of “First Cost” Value Engineering.

  13. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification GETTING STARTED Principles for successful practice: Include and Collaborate.

  14. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification ESTABLISHING AN ITERATIVE PROCESS charrette intense workshops designed to produce specific deliverables. At least one initial strategy meeting or LEED “charette” generally held at the beginning of the project. Charrettes assist in establishing green goals. Goal – to develop possible design and strategies for greening a space Deliverables The typical deliverables from the initial strategy meeting are: LEED certification goal (certification level) LEED scorecard that shows the targeted credits for pursuit (Project Checklist)

  15. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification ESTABLISHING AN ITERATIVE PROCESS iterative process circular and repetitive process that provides opportunities for setting goals and checking each idea against those goals.

  16. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification TEAM SELECTION

  17. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification GOAL SETTING • Clear goals articulate what the project will be designed to accomplish, by: • Making sure that the vision is clear • Providing a frame of reference for the whole project • Defining the sustainability targets and keeping the project on track to meet them • Goals • ■ S = Specific • ■M = Measurable • ■A = Attainable • ■R = Realistic • ■T = Timely • Assessments and Measurements • Metrics •  Qualitative •  Quantitative

  18. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification OBSERVATION OF THE SYSTEM • To observe and understand the site, team members must ask many questions: • What are the general climatic patterns of the site? What are the microclimates, and how and why do they occur? How does water fall on and run off the site? How does the sun affect these conditions?

  19. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification OBSERVATION OF THE SYSTEM • To observe and understand the site, team members must ask many questions: • What are the soils like on the site? Are they rich loam or hard clay? Has the site ever been used for agriculture? Can it be used to grow food now?

  20. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification OBSERVATION OF THE SYSTEM • To observe and understand the site, team members must ask many questions: • What plants and animals exist on the site? How did they get there? Are they healthy or stressed?

  21. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification OBSERVATION OF THE SYSTEM • To observe and understand the site, team members must ask many questions: • How does energy get to the site? Is the site remote or connected to a utility grid?

  22. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification OBSERVATION OF THE SYSTEM • To observe and understand the site, team members must ask many questions: • Are there roads? What type? Where do they go? Do they have sidewalks? How do the current occupants use this infrastructure?

  23. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification OBSERVATION OF THE SYSTEM • To observe and understand the site, team members must ask many questions: • What kind of buildings are on the site? How tall are they? How do they connect to the street? Are they new or old? Occupied or vacant? What are they used for?

  24. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification EXPLORATION AND SELECTION OF TECHNOLOGIES AND STRATEGIES Sustainable design requires thinking methodically through the types of strategies for each aspect of the system and evaluating alternatives against project goals through an iterative process.

  25. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification IMPLEMENTATION Up-front planning can help keep a project on schedule and on budget while protecting the project goals.

  26. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification IMPLEMENTATION • The following strategies can help projects meet sustainability goals during construction: • Reducing the amount of fossil fuels used in construction equipment by minimizing grading and earth moving, as well as using biodiesel or other alternative fuels. http://www.constructionbusinessowner.com/topics/equipment/construction-equipment-management/considering-biodiesel-your-construction-equipment

  27. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification IMPLEMENTATION • The following strategies can help projects meet sustainability goals during construction: • Preventing air and water pollution by addressing dust and implementing a stormwater pollution prevention plan.

  28. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification IMPLEMENTATION • The following strategies can help projects meet sustainability goals during construction: • Ensuring indoor air quality by following an indoor environmental quality management plan for protecting ductwork and pervious materials, preventing dust, and protecting any occupied spaces from pollutants . http://www.smacna.org/

  29. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification IMPLEMENTATION • The following strategies can help projects meet sustainability goals during construction: • Minimizing landfill waste by reducing construction debris and following a waste management plan that addresses waste separation and hauling, also saving costs.

  30. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification ON-GOING PERFORMANCE The construction and operations of green building and neighborhood projects are never really complete. On-going measurement and verification are essential to identifying opportunities for improvement. Collect Data. Energy and water audits. Solid waste audits Provide Training Perform Scheduled Maintenance. Retrocommissioning Occupant surveys, including thermal comfort and transportation analysis Green purchasing and green housekeeping program assessments

  31. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification ON-GOING PERFORMANCE • Success depends on these essentials: • Start early • Find the right team and process • Understand the systems across space and time • Develop clear and measurable goals • Follow an iterative process to ensure achievement of goals • Commit to continuous improvement
