Where do we go from here?

What other events and activities might activate our space? There is demand

for new arts and cultural spaces―how do we assess and pursue our priorities?

What funding sources are available for a project like this?

How do we make this building sustainable for the long-term?

Is there a market to support an arts facility?

DLR Group’s in-house Business Operations & Fundraising group equips our arts & cultural clients with the data and information needed for success. As one of few design firms in the country with these in-house services, we provide a holistic perspective to the design process.

The impact ofdesign choicesfor 2019 can be quantifiedin these tangible ways:

*Reduction determined using The Zero Tool, an Architecture 2030 platform developed for building sector professionals to establish energy reduction baselines and targets, compare a building’s energy performance with similar buildings and to codes, and understand how a building achieved its current energy performance.

One of the most pressing challenges in the century is to mitigate climate change caused by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activities. Information in this report has been extracted from the estimated operational energy consumption, energy production, and energy optimization of DLR Group designs in 2019. Beyond these typical metrics of achievement, in 2019 we addressed other areas including exploration of innovative materials, indoor air quality, occupant comfort, wellbeing and productivity. These areas further expanded our thinking on sustainability and the role it plays within integrated design.

Raise the BarThe average reduction target of predicted energy use for that portion of the DLR Group design portfolio with performance data has consistently exceeded the national peer group average. In FY19, our integrated designs generated a 52 percent energy reduction compared to average buildings(1).This is a three percent improvement

compared to FY2018 and is partly fueled by rapidly evolving, more stringent building energy codes and from the rising demand for Zero Net Energy and Zero Net Energy ready projects from our clients.

More than a third of the design portfolio we tracked in FY19 were adaptive reuse and/or major renovation projects. This further contributed to savings of embodied carbon through the reuse of existing building stock.

DLR Group also began an effort to intentionally address water conservation in our design in FY19. As with embodied carbon, there is an urgency in design considerations to realize equivalent water savings through the process of delivering energy from the utility grid to a building site. This will continue to be a focus of our integrated design teams in the coming years.
