Green Design: Passive

Energy Reduction Plan

Steel Joists are 96% recycled; lowering energy use Facilities will be retrofitted with LED lighting, which will provide more consistent

lighting levels. Lighting in certain areas of the building will be controlled via motion detectors to allow for energy savings to occur when these spaces are unoccupied.

Infrared heaters will be installed in the gymnasiums which will significantly reduce the need for the air handlers to move air and create a more consistent environment within the facilities. These spaces should be much quieter and more comfortable as a result of this Energy Conservation Measure (ECM).

Purchase energy efficient appliances Install programmable thermostats Install low flow showerheads Insulate attics as well as wider walls Efficient water heaters Energy efficient windows (triple pane fill with neon gas) Awnings, location of windows; taking advantages of light

Green Design: Active

For parking structures:

We will provide Solar Carports and Car Charging Station. We are proposing a 180 ft x 40ft solar panels roof. Each solar panel dimension: 3 ft x 5ft so we will array 36 x 13 = 468 panels.

Xeriscaping:

Reduce or Eliminate the Need for Supplemental Water from Irrigation. Plants are able to survive with water restrictions implemented by municipality. Plants and ground covers alternative to grass can be more eye appealing.

For Texas xeriscaping we will use,

Annual Flower as Wax-leaf Begonia, Zinnia Flower. Perennial Flowers as Katie Dwarf Ruellia and Hibiscus Flower Deciduous Shrubs as Gold Star Esperanza Native Plants as Texas Mountain Laurel and Lantana Plants for Shady areas as Caladium and Fire Spike Privacy Shrubs as Red Tip Photinia and Nerium Oleander

We are aware that placing large bushes and trees adjacent to the structures may contribute to future distress to the foundation systems. Vegetation placed in landscape beds adjacent to the structures should be limited to plants and shrubs that will not exceed a mature height of about three (3) to four (4) feet. Large bushes and trees that will generally exceed these heights should be planted at a reasonable distance away from the structures so their canopy or "drip line" does not extend over the structures when the tree reaches maturity. Watering of vegetation should be performed in a timely and controlled manner and prolonged watering should be avoided. Excessive irrigation of landscaped areas adjacent to, near or up gradient from the building foundations can lead to water migration into the crawl space of the building slabs. This migration could promote mold growth or lead to foundation movements.

Solar Panels:

To provide energy to our Gym we decide to install solar panels on one side of the roof. The total area of the roof is 227 feet 8 inches X 152 feet 8 inches or 227.67 x 152.67 = 34758.4 SF. Therefore one side has an area = 17379 SF so considering the size of each panel 3ft x 5ft then more or less we have one array of 45 x 51 = 2295 panels total. With 300 watts for panel and a book capacity of 72Kw/capacity, we will calculate how much energy these panels will provide and compare it with the Kw energy usage in the Gym.

To get the most from solar panels, we need to point them in the direction that captures the most sun. This advice applies to any type of panel that gets energy from the sun; photovoltaic, solar hot water, etc. We assume that the panel is fixed, or has a tilt that can be adjusted seasonally. Panels that track the movement of the sun throughout the day can receive 10% (in winter) to 40% (in summer) more energy than fixed panels. Solar panels should always face true south if you are in the northern hemisphere, or true north if you are in the southern hemisphere.

They will have to be tilted and the tilt should be equal to your latitude, plus 15 degrees in winter, or minus 15 degrees in summer; because the sun is higher in the summer and lower in the winter, you can capture more energy during the whole year by adjusting the tilt of the panels according to the season It turns out that you can do better than this - about 4% better.

Our solar panels will be placed on the roof of the building located in Comal County latitude 29˚48’36” then for a fixed tilt angle we calculated

Typically the tilt will be adjusted as shown but considering a lack of season variations and cost our panels will be fixed parallels to the roof.

Rainwater Harvesting:

Basic Components

Catchment surface: the collection surface from which rainfall runs off

Gutters and downspouts: channel water from the roof to the tank

Leaf screens, first-flush diverters, and roof washers: components which remove debris and dust from the captured rainwater before it goes to the tank

One or more storage tanks, also called cisterns Delivery system: gravity-fed or pumped to the end use

Calculating Supply:

SUPPLY Inches Catchment Runoff(in gallons) = of Rainfall X 0.623 X Area (SF) X Coefficient

Area of Roof = 227 feet 8 inches X 152 feet 8 inches

227 + 8/12 = 227.67 feet

152 + 8/12 = 152.67 feet

227.67 x 152.67 = 34758.4 SF

For Comal County, we have an Average Annual Precipitation of 32 inches and a Maximum number of dry days: 75

Calculating Demand:

DEMAND Inches of Plant Irrigated Area(in gallons) = Demand ET X Coefficient X 0.623 X (SF)

For the parking area:

2 X 120 X 5 = 1200 SF

C. Do not track mud, dirt or construction-related debris onto panel surfaces.

D. Replace damaged Work before final completion.

Leaf Screens, to remove debris that gathers on the catchment surface, and ensure high quality water for either potable use or to work well without clogging irrigation emitters, a series of filters are necessary. Essentially, mesh screens remove debris both before and after the storage tank. The defense in keeping debris out of a rainwater harvesting system is some type of leaf screen along the gutter or in the downspout.

Leaf guards are usually ¼-inch mesh screens in wire frames that fit along the length of the gutter. Leaf guards/screens are usually necessary only in locations with tree overhang. Guards with profiles conducive to allowing leaf litter to slide off are also available.

The funnel-type downspout filter is made of PVC or galvanized steel fitted with a stainless steel or brass screen. This type of filter offers the advantage of easy accessibility for cleaning. The funnel is cut into the downspout pipe at the same height or slightly higher than the highest water level in the storage tank.

Strainer baskets are spherical cage-like strainers that slip into the drop outlet of the downspout.

A cylinder of rolled screen inserted into the drop outlet serves as another method of filtering debris. The homeowner may need to experiment with various grid sizes, from insect screen to hardware cloth.

Filter socks of nylon mesh can be installed on the PVC pipe at the tank inflow.

Storage tank basics

• Storage tanks must be opaque, either upon purchase or painted later, to Figure 2-4. Box roof washer inhibit algae growth.

• For potable systems, storage tanks must never have been used to store toxic materials.

• Tanks must be covered and vents screened to discourage mosquito breeding.

• Tanks used for potable systems must be accessible for cleaning.

Storage tank siting, tanks should be located as close to supply and demand points as possible to reduce the distance water is conveyed. Storage tanks should be protected from direct sunlight, if possible. To ease the load on the pump, tanks should be placed as high as practicable. Of course, the tank inlet must be lower than the lowest downspout from the catchment area. To compensate for friction losses in the trunk line, a difference of a couple of feet is preferable. When converting from well water, or if using a well backup, siting the tanks near the well house facilitates the use of existing plumbing. Water runoff should not enter septic system drain fields, and any tank

overflow and drainage should be routed so that it does not affect the foundation of the tanks or any other structures.

Water weighs just over 8 pounds per gallon, so even a relatively small 1,500- gallon tank will weigh 12,400 pounds. A leaning tank may collapse; therefore, tanks should be placed on a stable, level pad. If the bed consists of a stable substrate, such as caliche, a load of sand or pea gravel covering the bed may be sufficient preparation. In some areas, sand or pea gravel over well-compacted soil may be sufficient for a small tank.

Polypropylene Standard tanks must be installed above ground. For buried installation, specially reinforced tanks are necessary to withstand soil expansion and contraction. They are relatively inexpensive and durable, lightweight, and long lasting. Polypropylene tanks are available in capacities from 50 gallons to 10,000 gallons. Polypropylene tanks do not retain paint well, so it is necessary to find off-the-shelf tanks manufactured with opaque plastic. The fittings of these tanks are aftermarket modifications. Although easy to plumb, the bulkhead fittings might be subject to leakage.

First-Flush Diverters

The simplest first-flush diverter is a 6- or 8-inch PVC standpipe. The diverter fills with water first, backs up, and then allows water to flow into the main collection piping. These standpipes usually have a cleanout fitting at the bottom, and must be emptied and cleaned out after each rainfall event. The water from the standpipe may be routed

to a planted area. A pinhole drilled at the bottom of the pipe or a hose bibb fixture left slightly open (shown) allows water to gradually leak out. Using 3” diameter PVC, allow 33” length of pipe per gallon; 4” diameter pipe needs only 18” of length per gallon; and a little over 8” of 6” diameter pipe is needed to catch a gallon of water.

Roof Washers

The roof washer, placed just ahead of the storage tank, filters small debris for potable systems and also for systems using drip irrigation. Roof washers consist of a tank, usually between 30- and 50-gallon capacity, with leaf strainers and a filter. One commercially available roof washer has a 30-micron filter. All roof washers must be cleaned. Without proper maintenance they not only become clogged and restrict the flow of rainwater, but may themselves become breeding grounds for pathogens. The box roof washer is a commercially available component consisting of a fiberglass box with one or two 30-micron canister filters (handling rainwater from 1,500- and 3,500-square-foot catchments, respectively). The box is placed atop a ladder-like stand beside the tank, to accesses the box for cleaning via the ladder.

For our purpose we chose: Two round cisterns 7,000 gallon capacity to be conservative
