  1. Introduction - Presenters • Christopher Gorthy, LEED AP • Preconstruction/Project Engineering • Sarah Moreau, LEED AP • Project Manager

  2. DPR at a Glance • Number of Offices: • 10 • Company Wide: • $1.7 billion in revenue • 183+ LEED AP’s • Local Virginia Office: • $380 million backlog & revenue • 85 professionals, 140 craft • Core Markets: • Biopharmaceutical • High-End Corporate Office • Healthcare • Advanced Technology • Green is becoming Intrinsic in all our business.

  3. DPR’s Commitment to Green Building and Beyond “A proven track record of being environmentally responsible in the way we do business”

  4. Global Ecology Center Stanford, CA Overview • GC and Design Team, Lessons Learned • Pitfalls • Opportunities • Collaboration • Documentation • NSTA Live Data Session USGBC Headquarters Renovation Washington, DC

  5. ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL ECONOMIC First Things First - Pitfalls • What is the owner’s goals related to high performance green projects? • What are the contractual relationships between all of the parties? • Understand the differences Triple Bottom Line

  6. Pitfalls • Working with a contractor who doesn’t understand green or doesn’t want to. • Division 1 and the Specs need to be scrubbed and crystal clear on what’s required. • Do not count on both credits for waste management or the Indoor Air Quality Management credit until the end for LEED projects. Leave them as ? • Clearly define what documentation is required by the contractor? NAVCC Culpeper, VA

  7. Pitfalls Plumber Glazer • Remember the subcontractors are just as important as the design team and contractor. Require some type of onsite orientation plan in your documentation. Painter Roofer Civil/Utility Electrician Demo Flooring

  8. Pitfalls • Specifying single source products • Sometimes necessary, are their other alternatives? Communication is key with contractor and owner. • Example: FSC certified, urea-formaldehyde free wood doors. One or two manufacturers. • Some items may be long lead, not as many flexibility or substitution possibilities.

  9. Opportunities • If a LEED project during construction: • Analyze credits that were not originally targeted. Do not give up. Specifically Materials and Resources credits, Local, Regional, Recycled Content, Etc…

  10. Opportunities • If a LEED project during construction: • 2nd Credit for Waste Diversion • Work with contractor to determine alternate landfill diversion tactics • Opportunities for other tenants or the building owner in CI projects to reuse doors, lights, furniture, etc….

  11. Opportunities • Creating a healthier, energy efficient, easier maintained, well publicized, more productive, tax sheltered, environmentally sensitive building………… ……..while keeping costs down!

  12. DPR/ABD OfficeBuilding, Sacramento, CA Opportunities Architect LPA Sacramento, Inc. Project Value $6.2M Project Duration 9.8 Months LEED Certification: New Construction – LEED Silver (38 Points) Commercial Interiors – LEED Gold(35Points)

  13. ROI LEED NC Silver Premium First Cost (Direct and Indirect)= $85,112 10-Year Life Cycle Savings = $85,112+$359,758 = $444,870

  14. Collaboration • Convince owner to bring contractor on early in the design process. • Allows for more collaborative effort, and less adverse relationship • Team understanding of owner goals, and LEED credits…… reduces poor VE decisions and pricing.

  15. Collaboration • Open minded, outside the box thinking by all parties in order to solve problems and challenges of a green project. • Eliminate pre-conceptions, challenge local codes, and engineering rules of thumb. • Attain all five Innovation and Design Credits

  16. Documentation • Who is submitting? • HOK, Consultant, Engineer, Owner, Contractor • LEED v2.2 for NC • One Phase (C and D) or Two (C then D)? • New version is still being tested, supposedly less actual submittal data required.

  17. Documentation • Plan on completing all documentation from the design perspective. • No man-hour surprises/cost surprises • Complete templates and documentation as you go, Store everything electronically.

  18. Documentation • Furniture – Aghhhhh! • Is it included or not in your LEED calcs? • Who is Responsible? • Designer, Owner, Owner Rep, Developer, Contractor • Performance Requirements? • New vs. Used vs. Both • Cross pollination of credits can destroy your anticipated credits.

  19. NSTA Projected Savings/LCB

  20. Conclusion • The design team and contractor creating actual benefit analysis, and working collaboratively is the key to unlocking sustainability for all projects. Going green isn’t radical – it’s about good design practices and looking to the future.
