2. GILA RIVER INDIAN COMMUNITYTRIBAL PROJECTS DEVELOPMENT “MISSION STATEMENT” Tribal Projects Development is dedicated to the utmost excellence in managing the implementation of the Gila River Indian Community Capital Improvement Projects. This department is committed to transform the way buildings within the community are designed, built and operated, enabling an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life. DEPARTMENT GOAL Seek the most valid, relevant and innovative information for planning and decision making, dynamically optimizing allocated resources, and actively pursing the highest possible quality of construction execution.

3. What is Sustainability? Sustainability is meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

4. SKILLED NURSING FACILITY • Shade structures provided at every exterior patient room & office for reduction in heat gain • Passive solar tubes for day lighting provided at every patient restroom • Passive solar tubes for day lighting main corridors in patient wings • High SRI roofing over insulated concrete deck system • All exterior walls were 8” CMU w/6” furring with R-19 batt insulation • All water runoff from roofs is directed to water efficient landscaping • Retention basin sized to catch entire site runoff • All masonry utilized from regional plant within 500 miles of site • All construction waste materials were separated into recyclables and non-recyclables • Day lighting provided by large clerestory window • All patient & office exterior window utilized double pane glazing w/ integral shades for solar control

5. Light wells for day lighting the Main Street Day lighting & view provided for 90% of interior spaces Motion sensor lighting controls provided throughout Multi-zoning of mechanical system for increased thermal comfort All interior finishes utilized low VOC (low-emitting materials) Skilled Nursing Facility

6. Passive solar tubes provide natural day light, this reduces the use of artificial lighting & energy consumption Motion detector light switches turn lights off automatically if employees forget Automatic door closers, reduce energy costs (HVAC) Dual Payne Argon gas charged windows w/ low-E insulation keeps exterior climate from entering the building Skilled Nursing Facility

7. D-6 Boys & Girls Club • low flow fixtures • 13 seer roof top units • CO2 monitors in occupied areas • Central energy management control system • Low water usage native plants • Combination retention/football/soccer/baseball field

8. White roof coating Air economizers Sky lights w/blackout shades Dust collection mats at every exterior entrance D-6 Boys & Girls Club

9. Terrazzo (low maintenance very durable) flooring Use of local materials, terrazzo, sand, gravel, concrete, asphalt Low VOC sports surface in auxiliary gym D-6 Boys & Girls Club

11. High SRI Roof Clerestory windows on south side of main corridor All roof runoff directed toward landscape areas 8” CMU w/ 5/8” GWB over 3-5/8” stl. Furring and R-13 batt insulation @ all exterior walls All masonry from regional plant within 500 miles Landscape trees and groundcover are drought tolerant desert plants All site runoff collected in on site retention basin Low-E Double Glazed windows w/ interior shade screens @ all interior glazing Daylighting and views provided to 90% of occupied spaces Shade structures provided @ all west and south facing exterior windows for reduction in heat gain INTERIOR FEATURES Mechanical zoning for increased thermal comfort All interior finishes utilize low-emitting Motion sensor lighting for controlability of systems Recycling containers to be provided throughout building District 1 Multi-Purpose Building

12. Solar Panels for Domestic Water Heating • Tinted Insulated Low E-Glass • Green cleaning Materials To Be Used In The Building • High Efficiency A/C Units W/No CFC Refrigerants & MERV 13 Filters for Cleaner Indoor Air • Solar Panels for Pool Heating • Skylights/Windows for Natural Lighting • High SRI Roof, Decreases Heat Island Effect, “Cool” Roof Contributes to More Efficient Building

13. Mats at Doors, High EFF Air Filters, Increased Ventilation, Increased Natural Light & Views All Contribute to a Healthier Indoor Environment Highly insulated walls with R-19 insulation in the stud walls and foam insulation in the CMU Low flow fixtures for water savings & reduced load on the sewer system At least 10% of the material used to construct this building will be recycled and regional materials District 7 Multi-Purpose Building

14. Low energy usage light fixtures w/occupancy sensors for additional energy savings Interior materials w/recycled content, low VOC paints, sealants etc. wood product w/no added urea formaldehyde Water efficient landscaping irrigated w/reclaimed water Under ground storage tank for captured greywater w/ solar pump for irrigation Recycle collection containers will be placed throughout the building to encourage recycling by occupants District 7 Multi-Purpose Building

15. Efficient Building envelope to include high R-Value wall and roof insulation and insulated Low E windows with shades to reduce building cooling loads • Roof with an SRI value of greater than 78. High SRI roofs absorb less heat, reduce the heat island effect of the building. • Solar water heating for domestic water and pool water. • Skylights and windows for natural lighting throughout the building • High efficiency A/C units with no CFC refrigerants and MERV 13 filters for cleaner indoor air • Low flow fixtures for water saving and reduced load on the sewer system • Recycled content of building material throughout the building including ceiling tiles, flooring, steel structure, exterior metal siding and metal canopies

16. Recycle collection containers will be placed throughout the building to encourage recycling by the occupants • At least 50% of the site hardscape will be shaded or have an SRI of less then 29 to help reduce the building’s heat island effect • Walking mats at all entry doors, high EFF air filters, increased ventilation, low VOC paints and sealants, and wood products with no added urea formaldehyde all contribute to cleaner indoor air quality • Green cleaning materials to be used in the building. • All stormwater to be contained and infiltrated onsite to promote the natural watershed. • Water efficient landscaping watered with captured greywater which is stored underground and used a solar pump to irrigate

17. D-3 Commercial Renovation • Solar Parking Lights • Upgraded electric and HVAC systems. • Recycled materials onsite • Desert landscape with drip irrigation for 2 yrs • Then it is a zero potable water landscape • It also has High SRI value roof (heat island effect ROOF)

18. D-3 Commercial Renovation Passive Solar tube lighting through out building Dual flush toilets Low flow plumbing fixtures Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) paint
