Presentation Transcript

  1. Sustainability as a Quality Criterion The Value of Sustainable Design in DOE Projects

  2. Definition: Conserving Resources for the Future • Environmental • Human • Economic

  3. Environmental Resources • Site utilization • Water conservation • Atmosphere • Materials • Energy • Renewable sources • Embodied energy – “Cradle to cradle”

  4. Human Resources • Health, safety and comfort • Control of “micro-climate” • Reduction of chemical insults • Lighting and views

  5. Economic Resources • Energy efficiency • HVAC • Lighting • Transportation • Return on Investment • Life cycle Cost Analysis

  6. Dispelling Preconceptions • Who is this guy? • Another hoop to jump through? • SD as “cladding”? • Is this real? practical? Even do-able? • πin the sky? • It costs too much!

  7. Mechanism for Attaining Sustainability? • Feasibility • Effectiveness • Effects carry out principles • Comparable from project to project • Fits within larger context(s) • Standardized across industries • Use of consensus standards

  8. USGBC LEED-NC 2.1 • Credit based system • Based on industry consensus standards • ASHRAE/IESNA • SMACNA • Energy Policy Act (1992) • Extensive documentation required to prevent “greenwashing” • Optional and pre-requisite standards

  9. Fermilab FESS Program • Executive and D.O.E. Orders • Sustainability in Director’s Policy • Use of USGBC LEED as “touchstone” • Use of checklist at CDR, Title II and BO • Methods other than LEED
