WHAT IS LEED?

• Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
• A standardized certification process for
  energy-efficient, high-performance, sustainable
  buildings
• U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is the
  proponent of LEED

STARTING GREEN WITH THE SITE

• Demolition of existing parking lot
• Asphalt ? local haul road
• Limerock ? stabilized crane path
• Pavers ? to Campus Facilities
• Existing trees preserved
• Softwood ? mulched into planting beds
• Hardwood ? free firewood
• Resource reuse
• Bricks
• PVC pipe
• Storage and protection

62
RESOURCE REUSE

• Designate
• Protect
• Save
• Clean
• Quantify
• Palletize
• Store
• Transport and transfer

63
WASTE MANAGEMENT - EASY

• UF campus recycling (free)
• Office paper
• Cardboard
• Plastic
• Glass
• Aluminum cans
• Scrap steel
• Local recycler
• Scrap lumber
• Local workforce

64
WASTE MANAGEMENT NOT EASY

• Concrete
• Typically free, location charge
• Rebar premium
• Gypsum (drywall board)
• 90 recycle rate
• Clean no paint, no metal, no screws
• Gainesville to Apollo Beach 300 miles RT
• Hauling costs of 635/load vs. 230/load

65
WASTE MANAGEMENT MAKE IT EASY

• Training - orientation and continuous
• Recycle areas throughout project
• Stockpile for recycling on site
• Designate areas
• Load containers at pull
• Self sort, less contamination
• Regular container pulls for mixed use only
• Make easy and convenient for best results
• Additional manpower for sorting, breakdown,
  consolidation

66
CONSTRUCTION IAQ - CLEAN

• Eliminate dust, dirt, and moisture at ductwork
• Store products off floor (drywall, insulation)
• 100 outside air flush prior to occupancy
• No smoking policy during construction

67
CONSTRUCTION IAQ - PROTECT

• Return air filter media
• Temporary window protection
• Temporary entrance grates

68
CLIMBING THE LEARNING CURVE

• A waterless urinal?
• In the field -
• Lets plumb it anyway.
• During occupancy -
• Waterless is not the same as
  maintenance-free

69
LESSONS LEARNED

• Permitting delays are likely
• Voluntary alternates will expose premiums
• Establish priority between practical designer and
  passion designer
• Anticipate additional work activities, not
  necessarily time extensions
• Expect unintended consequences
• Think differently

70
CONSTRUCTION CHALLENGES

• 1. Eliminate GREEN misperceptions
• Fear of the unknown
• Education of subcontractors
• More work, but not much

• 2. Return on investment (80/20 rule)
• Passion vs. practicality
• Clear and common standards
• Know point of diminishing returns

• 3. Unique and new products
• Material compatibility
• Learning curve
• Life of materials, systems, equipment

Definition of Green Sustainable to Strive For

• Part I Like nature use only available solar
  power at the site. Pick up a biology book
• Efficiency of natural photosynthesis vs. man-made
  photovoltaic cells (weve been outsmarted by a
  tree should we really have domain over
  nature???)
• Elevations in the forest, spreading of branches
  (natures solar array)
• Free, abundant energy thousands of times the
  energy we need
• Eliminate waste associated with pumping energy
  through the grid
• No dependence on the power grid no major
  blackouts

Building
113
Definition of Green Sustainable to Strive For

• Part II Like nature use only available water
  at the site.
• Water usage should be dictated by local available
  amounts (treat it like a maximum allowance)
• A cactus in the desert natures cistern
• Eliminate energy required to pump water all over
  the place
• TLC project rainwater harvesting at a school
  with an estimated 7 year Payback!

Definition of Green Sustainable to Strive For
Part III Like nature material flows must all
become intertwined closed loops. No Waste!

• Remember learning about food webs in your first
  science class?
• You dont have to be an ecologist to watch
  nature i.e. watch a squirrel if you want to
  learn how to prune a tree.

Consider sending garbage back to the manufacturer
instead of a dump if they get stuck with a big
pile of their own garbage, will they consider
designing the product to be recyclable???

UNRELIABLE INSUFFICIENT ENERGY SOURCES

Photo of a burning oil well in Iraq. Fossil fuels
will not last forever and using them causes
pollution but they are still a main energy
source for us. We also have a grid that is
vulnerable to brown-outs and black-outs.

Kyle -
Do you want to be stuck with piles of garbage to
clean up? (He is supposed to say NO here)

Would you like a drink of the polluted water
pouring out of that pipe? (He is supposed to say
YUCKY here)

Kyle says dont be afraid to bring these things
up on every project (whether you are working on
it or not, whether you are the architect of
record or the drafter)

• Is the project using LEED?
• Is the project going to be green sustainable?
• The answer must be YES!!!

OR
Are we saving a few now only to jeopardize and
pass higher costs on to future generations???
