Presentation Overview
The Military and Sustainable Design
LEED Diction
Design Build Process
Key Aspects of LEED Program
Take Aways
The Military & Sustainable DesignDOD Projects + Sustainability
Economic Life Cycle Costs
Operating Maintenance
Social Improving the Quality of Indoor Environment
Environmental Low Impact Development
What does the Military Gain from Sustainable Design?
1. Energy Savings 20-70%
2. Verified Performance
3. Lower Life-Cycle Costs
4. Reduced Compliance Burden Waste + Pollution
5. Enhanced Productivity
The Military & Sustainable DesignLEED Diction
LEED ≠ LEEDSLeadership in Energy & Environmental
Design
LEED APBuilding = CertifiedPeople = Accredited
The Military & Sustainable DesignLEED Diction
LEED Building = High Performance Building Performance Based, Not Prescriptive Based on Consensus Standards
ASHRAE, IES, ASTM, Inst. Of Transportation Engineers
Green Guard, Green Label Plus, Green Seal
LEED ≠ Building Code Agenda pushing Market forward
Design Build Process : Bidding + Proposal
Goal Setting Charrette : Starting the LEED Machine
Research + Analysis LEED Project Goals Analyze Project Impacts
Cost Time Feasibility
Flexible LEED Proposal Provide Options
Design Build Process : Kick Off Meeting w/ Government : Concept Design
User Requests ROICC vs. RFP
Key Design Decisions Orientation Daylight Ventilation HVAC Site
Strategies vs. Synergies Singular Action with multiple benefits
Design Build Process : Schematic Design
LEED “Champion” AP - Architect Facilitates Integrative Design
Ongoing Iterative Cycle Charrette / Research + Analysis / Documentation
Project Representative Involved from Proposal to Post Occupancy
Information Source Reference Guide Coordinated Plan of Action Design + Field Team
Quality Control Submittals LEED Letter Templates Supporting Documentation
Design Build Process : Schematic Design

Design Build Process : Schematic Design
Design Build Process : Schematic Design
Energy Modeler Key Tool “Eye in the Sky” Coordinate all Trades Breakdown Percentages & Ways to Improve Limits GBCI Reviewer Questions Incentive & Rebates
Savings by Design
Design Build Process : Schematic Design
Question : What are the biggest costs in the building?
Energy Modeler will work with the design team throughout process
Multiple iterations
Modeling elements now vs later
Design Build Process : Design Development
LEED Checklist Project + Team Specific
Roles Responsibilities Timeline Cost Impacts
Work in Progress Re-Issued at critical points of Design & Construction Build in Buffer
~ 5% = 3-6 pts
Design Build Process : Design Development
LEED Checklist Verify & Validate Decisions made in Schematic
Design Finalize Material & Product Selections Integrate LEED into Specs & Drawings Commissioning
Design Build Process : Design Development
RFP vs. End UserDesign Team = Middle Man
Implement requests from Commander + ROICC
Base Specific StandardsB.E.A.P.
Desired, Possible, FeasibleRFP may define, but additional research is
necessary to verify
Design Build Process : Design Development
Commissioning (Design)Owners Project Requirements (OPR)Basis Of Design (BOD)Commissioning Plan
Identify Systems, Team Responsibilities, Testing Procedures, Verification requirements
MEP / Solar / Geothermal
Specifications
Design Build Process : Design Development : Specifications
Credits addressed in 3 approaches1. General Conditions
2. Under Material & Product Sections
3. Direct notes on Drawings
Language General Specs – Division 1 “ General Requirements”
Thresholds illustrated
Division Specific – Divisions 2-10 Minimum Requirements defined
Performance + LEED Requirements Specifics without selecting Material Ex. Roofing : SRI = 29
Design Build Process : Design Development : Specifications
Design Build = “ Outline Spec” Must address issues in all sections Create a tight set of specifications
Critical Point between Design Development and Construction Documents
Moving up or Down on the scale
Cost Estimator Fundamental to engage in process early Life Cycle Costs Understanding of LEED Higher levels of Certification through
integrated design Positive + Negative Costs
