Kingston Police Headquarters Project
L.E.E.D. GOLD CERTIFIED Leadership in Energy
Environmental Design
3

• The new Kingston Police Headquarters building
  constitutes a dramatic departure from the status
  quo in the design of police facilities.

4

• While many facilities focus only on security,
  ours also is an expression in brick and mortar of
  ways in which we can reduce environmental impacts
  and wisely use such resources as land, water,
  energy, and raw materials.

5

• The green building features incorporated into our
  facility demonstrate that building technologies
  and construction processes can be part of the
  solution to many of the environmental challenges
  facing society.

City of Kingston Strategic Plan

• THE ENVIRONMENT
• We will create a sustainable community by
  conducting ourselves, individually and
  collectively, in a manner such that the net
  effect of our actions is a positive one. This
  will be measured by the ability of present and
  future generations to use and enjoy the world. We
  respect and protect our man-made and natural
  environments and we manage them through a
  collective commitment. Our pledge is to achieve
  improvements in the quality of air, water, and
  land through the protection, prevention, and
  remediation of the environment. We recognize the
  importance of our ecology and we know that
  positive change will come about through increased
  community awareness of the environmental
  challenges that we face.

City of Kingston L.E.E.D. Policy

• 4 May 2004
• "Council requires that all large municipal
  building and retrofit projects undertake an
  assessment of the Leadership in Energy
  Environmental Design (L.E.E.D.) as a design goal
  for Councils consideration before finalization
  of the project design."

What is L.E.E.D. Green Building Rating System ?

• The Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) exists
  to accelerate the design and construction of
  Green Buildings across Canada. CaGBC has chosen
  L.E.E.D. as the accreditation of choice for green
  building in Canada. http//www.cagbc.ca/

10
What is L.E.E.D. Green Building Rating System ?

• The purpose is to promote a mainstream change in
  the industry toward sustainable facilities. One
  of the first steps the Council took was the
  adoption of a green building rating system. That
  system is L.E.E.D. which stands for Leadership in
  Energy and Environmental Design.

11
What is L.E.E.D. Green Building Rating System ?

• The rating system is based on a series of
  prerequisites and credits. The design team must
  verify that all of the prerequisites and a
  portion of the credits have been met.

12
What is L.E.E.D. Green Building Rating System ?

• Most of the credits are performance based, which
  means that they measure the degree of improvement
  relative to a recognized standard, rather than
  requiring the use of specific design strategies
  or technologies.

Design Charette

• July 2004
• The L.E.E.D. Police facility design was
  developed through a multi-disciplinary charette
  process and was approved by the design team, the
  Police Services Board and City Council. 

15
Design Charette

• July 2004
•   With 42 L.E.E.D. credits targeted for
  implementation the L.E.E.D. Police facility was
  positioned to obtain a Gold designation (L.E.E.D.
  Gold 39 - 51 credits). 

16
Energy Efficiency and Green House Gas Reduction

• These energy gains are made through the inclusion
  of upgrades to the envelope and lighting and
  mechanical systems. 

17
Energy Efficiency and Green House Gas Reduction

• In comparison to the base-line (industry
  standard) the L.E.E.D. Police facility will
  result in an annual reduction of approximately
• 573,187 kwh electricity (39 reduction)
• 140,535 m3 natural gas (67 reduction) for an
  estimated total annual reduction of approximately
  444 tonnes of green house gas emissions (52
  reduction CO2 equivalents).

20
Water Efficiency

•  It is estimated that in comparison to the
  base-line (industry standards) the water use of
  this building will be approximately 77 (21,773
  m3 reduction) more efficient for indoor use and
  100 (12,007 m3 reduction) more efficient for
  outdoor use. 

21
Water Efficiency

• This water efficiency is achieved by the
  inclusion of a rainwater cistern for toilets,
  ultra-low flow faucets, ultra-low flow
  showerheads and automatic controls on faucets.
  The landscaping includes drought resistant
  vegetation without an irrigation system.
