  1. U.S. Green Building CouncilLeadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED)History and Current Strategyon the Boulder Campus MFT 2/09

  2. Why LEED? • Shifts discussion from initial costs to long-term operating costs • LEED is a third-party certification program and the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their building’s performance. MFT 2/09

  3. 5 categories of LEED • Sustainable Sites • Water Efficiency • Energy & Atmosphere • Materials & Resources • Indoor Environmental Quality • Innovation & Design Process MFT 2/09

  4. Four levels of LEED Certified 26-32 points Silver 33-38 points Gold 39-51 points Platinum 52-69 points MFT 2/09

  5. In 2004… • When the state of Colorado was unable to fund CU-Boulder’s Capital Construction Funding Request, our students decided to meet that challenge. • Approved by the CU-Boulder Student Government in April 2004, Wolf Law, ATLAS, Business School and the Visual Art Complex were funded mostly from additional student fees. MFT 2/09

  6. Section 5 of the Student Union Legislative Council Bill reads… • “the building will be designed and certified as meeting the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) silver standard of the US Green Building Council. The Building will be designed to meet the LEED Gold Standard, up to an incremental cost of 1% of the total capital project cost. The building will use 100% renewable electricity up to an incremental cost 10% above the total cost for electricity for the building” MFT 2/09

  7. Shortly after, Campus Design and Construction standards were updated to meet LEED silver. • Projects pursuing LEED must meet all LEED prerequisites. (prerequisites=0 points, required) • Erosion and Sedimentation Control • Fundamental Commissioning • Minimum Energy Performance • CFC Reduction • Storage and Collection of Recyclables • Minimum IAQ Performance • Environmental Tobacco Smoke Control MFT 2/09

  8. LEED Categories and associated points (69 possible points) 26-32 Certified, 33-38 Silver, 39-51 Gold, 52-69 Platinum MFT 2/09

  9. In addition to all environmental benefits and improved occupant comfort, these buildings are at least 25%-35% more water and energy efficient than buildings compliant with current code and ASHRAE 90.1 • Campus Engineers (with support from operation’s staff) act as commissioning agent and ensure functional, technical and quality aspects of project aligned with our program plan and expectations. MFT 2/09

  10. Energy Savings Strategy (Per Energy Model) appropriate for Dry Semi-arid Colorado Climate (Wolf Law) MFT 2/09

  11. Cost Premium for LEED/Gold (Wolf Law) was achieved within 1% of project budget ($470,000) MFT 2/09

  12. Current and Future LEED activities • Eight Projects underway with goal of LEED gold; • Andrews Hall • Center for Community • IBS • Heating and Cooling Plant • Ekeley middle wing renovation • JILA Addition • System Biotechnology • Ketchum Renovation MFT 2/09

  13. LEED Gold “Plus” Strategy • In order to comply with the Governor Executive Order (Reduction of energy consumption by 20% by 2012) and support our long term goal of Carbon Neutrality, it makes sense to continue with our goal of LEED Gold and go deeper into the category of Energy and Atmosphere (>35% better than ASHRAE 90.1) MFT 2/09

  14. LEED Gold “Plus” Strategy • Achieving this goal would have a major positive impact on our CO2 Emissions and a significant impact on Campus future cost of energy • Our current cost estimate to achieve this goal is 1.5% of total project cost. MFT 2/09

  15. Wolf Law vs typical building MFT 2/09
