Building Systems

• Structural
• Precast concrete shear/bearing walls and columns
  supporting precast inverted tees and double tees
  on floor and roof.
• Façade
• Brick factory installed within precast wall
  assembly.
• Mechanical System
• A geothermal heat pump system with a dedicated
  outdoor air unit that utilizes a full enthalpy
  energy wheel to recover energy in the exhaust
  air.

10
Building Systems

• Plumbing Features
• Low-flow fixtures in the restrooms with solar
  powered (with battery backup) sensor operated
  faucets and flush valves.  The domestic hot water
  will be provided by an electric tank-type water
  heater with geothermal preheat as an alternate.
• Electrical Features
• New electrical systems will be furnished and
  installed.  Some of the new electrical systems
  include, but are not limited to  electrical
  service and distribution equipment, energy
  efficient lighting and associated branch
  circuits, lighting control (including occupancy
  sensors, daylight harvesting sensors, timer
  switches, toggle switches, and time clocks),
  receptacles and associated branch circuits,
  electrical service to new mechanical equipment,
  fire alarm, and raceways for communication
  systems.

Sustainable Factors

• Low air infiltration envelope
• Low-E double glazing, low shading coefficients,
  thermal breaks
• Build fenestration limited to 25 or less of
  exposed perimeter
• DDC control system
• R-19 walls and R-30 roof
• Computer modeled simulated energy performance
• Daylighting Integrated with Electric Lighting
  Controls (occupancy sensors, etc.)
• Minimum daylight illumination level of 25
  footcandles has been achieved in at least 75 of
  all regularly occupied areas
• Electric lighting systems designed to minimize
  electric lighting energy use
• Energy simulation to compare a baseline energy
  performance to the proposed design to estimate
  energy savings
• High efficiency lamps and luminaries with
  electronic ballasts
• Utilize a VFD on the geothermal well pump
• (Alternate) Prevent the domestic hot water using
  desuperheat from the geothermal HVAC system
• Designed the building heating, ventilating and
  air conditioning (HVAC) system to minimize energy
  use

• Integrated outside air economizer into HVAC
  system
• Air handling systems incorporates variable
  frequency drives to reduce fan energy and prolong
  motor life
• Used zero CFC-based refrigerants in HVAC and
  refrigeration equipment
• Use HFC refrigerants in lieu of CFCs or HCFCs 
• Correctly size mechanical equipment by improving
  estimates of heat gain from laboratory equipment
• New equipment (including transformers) and
  appliances meet EPA ENERGY STAR criteria
• Prevent soil erosion before, during, and after
  construction by controlling storm water runoff
  and wind erosion
• Designed building systems to reduce building
  water use to exceed the requirements of the
  Energy Policy Act (EPACT) of 1992
• Provided infrared faucet sensors and delayed
  action shut-off or automatic shut-off valves at
  lavatories
• Provided use of low flow dual-flush toilets,
  low-flow urinals, and restrictors at lavatory
  faucets

12
Sustainable Factors

• Utilized outside air efficiently and install a
  mechanical unit that introduces 100 percent
  outside air into classrooms and lecture halls.
  Return air from these areas is reconditioned and
  ducted to the laboratories as supply air. The
  supply air to the laboratories is exhausted
• Measure outside air to verify that the building
  is receiving the correct amount of outside air
  and to allow the HVAC system to reduce the amount
  of outside air during part load conditions.
• Met the minimum requirements of Sections 4
  through 7 of ASHRAE 62.1-2004, Ventilation for
  Acceptable Indoor Air Quality
• Exceed ASHRAE 90.1-2004 energy performance
  requirements
• Provided additional outdoor air ventilation to
  improve air quality for improved occupant
  comfort, well being, and productivity
• Provided regularly occupied areas of the building
  with air filtration media prior to occupancy that
  provides a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value
  (MERV) of 13 or better
• Met or exceeded the recommended control measures
  of the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning National
  Contractors Association (SMACNA) IAQ Guidelines
  for Occupied Buildings under Construction, latest
  edition, Chapter 3.

• Contractor to develop and implement an Indoor Air
  Quality (IAQ) Management Plan for the
  construction and pre-occupancy phases of the
  building, including low-emitting adhesives,
  sealants, composite wood, other chemicals,
  cleaners, construction materials, carpet and
  other finishes, paints, sealants, and coating
• Contractor to protect stored on-site or installed
  absorptive materials from moisture damage
• Contractor to replace all filtration media
  immediately prior to occupancy
• After construction ends and prior to occupancy,
  testing protocols consistent with the United
  States Environmental Protection Agency Compendium
  of Methods for the Determination of Air
  Pollutants in Indoor Air will be completed
• Entryways include permanently installed grates,
  grilles, or slotted systems that allow for
  cleaning underneath
• Finish materials are low VOC, high recycle
  content, and preference given to non-PVC products
