Design ProcessDesign-bid-build - Traditional design method beginstypically with an architect or engineer contracted tothe owner to prepare drawings and specs. Theseare then put out to bid publicly. The contractor is notinvolved in design; architect and engineer havelimited involvement through construction.Design-build - Owner contracts with a firm thathandles the design and construction. Can be designled or construction led. Both entities involvedthrough construction. Increasing in popularity overdesign-bid-build method. 49. Building Design Integrated Project Delivery-Integrated project delivery (IPD) - Incorporateselements of both design processes and is mostoptimized for green building projects as it encouragesearly multi-disciplinary coordination. Architect and contractor are not contractually bound to one another Each manages their piece of project (including consultant/subcontractor selection and coordination) Clear definition of roles, responsibilities & scope Defining and measuring project outcomes Primary participants play key role start to finish Key supporting participants perform a specific role 50. What Is IPD? Many definitions used to describe this more holisticapproach to building design Common elements of the various definitions: Goal-driven Facilitated Structured Clear decision-making Inclusive Collaborative Holistic or system thinking Whole-building budget setting Iterative Non-traditional expertise 51. Process of Integrated Project DeliveryAn integrated project team includes membersfrom various disciplines and sectors. Everyoneis brought to the table at the beginning of theproject and is involved in drafting goals topromote collaborative problem solving andholistic thinking. 52. Process of Integrated Project DeliveryPhases of IPD: Conceptualization (expanded programming) Criteria design (expanded schematic design) Detailed design (expanded design development) Implementation documents (construction documents) Agency review Buyout Construction (construction/construction contract admin) Close out 53. Whole Building DesignWhole building design: This approach, reflected in the structure of IPD,considers all building components and systemsduring the design phase and integrates them towork together to reduce resource consumptionand environmental impact. Not limited to projects using IPD Example: using daylighting techniques reducesthe amount of artificial light, which reduces heatgiven off by lighting systems, thereby reducing airconditioning needs and size of system; requiresresponsible team members working in conjunction 54. Whole Building Design Pre-DesignPre- design: Setting project goals Set project budget and schedule Define property boundary and LEED projectboundary Property boundary - all land owned by owner Project boundary - all land associated with the LEED contract, and land impacted by the development 55. Whole Building Design Pre DesignPre- design involves: Reviewing selected rating system and codes Selecting project team and assigning responsibilities Planning for building commissioning Considering durability planning and management Evaluating opportunities for innovation and design 56. Whole Building Design Pre-Design Design- Development of building systems in theirscope Construction- Ensuring project is built as designed,addressing energy and environmental guidelines,purchasing compliant materials, honoring specrequirements, maintaining IAQ, waste and recycling Operations and Maintenance- Effective operationsand maintenance providing opportunities forefficiency 57. Cost Benefit AnalysisCost benefit analysis looks at the sustainabletechnologies proposed and factors in thepotential cost savings achieved during theoperation of the building. Soft costs - design fees, taxes, permit fees, etc. Hard costs - labor and materials 58. Cost Benefit Analysis Simple PaybackSimple Payback:Total initial cost of the improvement is divided by thefirst-year cost savings. Provides estimated numberof years needed for improvement to pay for itself andsimple return on investmentFor example;Solar PV system costs = $10,000Average yearly savings from system - $2,500Payback = 4 years 59. Cost Benefits Analysis Lifecycle Cost AnalysisLifecycle cost analysis (LCC):Evaluates the total cost of the capital investment overthe life of the item. Initial capital cost Operating costs Maintenance costs Financing costs Expected useful life Future equipment salvage values** Important to establish scope and timeframeWeighing societal impacts - be sure to evaluate theadditional factors impacted that may not have directcost, e.g., carbon reduction, improved air quality 60. Cost BundlingKey Components: Looking beyond the singleline-item cost impact andinstead looking at various costbundles of strategies Evaluating a systemsupfront vs. lifecycle costcomparisons Might be more upfront work,but can enhance decisionmaking time and reduce delaysdue to late design changes Collaboratively developed with Bill Reed (coined phrase) 61.

USGBC definition: LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality. 71. What is LEED?LEED Leeds 72. What is LEED? Buildings become certified Professionals becomeaccredited Products are never LEED orUSGBC certified 73. Why was LEED Created? Facilitate positive results for the environment, occupant health and financial return Prevent greenwashing Promote whole-building, integrated design processes Recognize leaders Stimulate green competition Raise consumer awareness Transform the marketplace! 74. What is the US Green Building Council?The U.S. Green Building Council is thebuilding industrys only balanced non-profitconsensus coalition promoting theunderstanding, development andaccelerated implementation of greenbuilding policies, programs, technologies,standards, and design, operations andmaintenance practices.www.usgbc.org 75. What is the Green Building Certification Institute? GBCI was created to administer certification and credentialing programs related to green building practice and to ensure that the LEED Accredited Professional (LEED AP) program continues to be developed in accordance with best practices for credentialing programs. As of April 27, 2009, GBCI administers the LEED project registration and certification and the LEED Professional credentialing processes. 76. USGBC and GBCI StructureUSGBC is responsible for:1) Developing the LEED rating system2) Producing the LEED reference guides3) Developing and offering educational programs on the LEED rating systemGBCI has two roles:1) LEED credentialing program2) Building certification 77. Levels of LEED CertificationFour levels of LEED certification: Certified = 40-49 points, 40-50% ofcore credits Silver = 50-59 points, 50-60% ofcore credits Gold = 60-79 points, 60-80% ofcore credits Platinum = 80-110 points, 80% ormore of core credits 78. Cost of LEEDDavis Langdon 2006 studyCost of Green Revisited:Reexamining theFeasibility and Cost Impactof Sustainable Design inthe Light of IncreasedMarket Adoption foundthere is no significantdifference in average costfor green buildings ascompared to non-greenbuildings. 79. Cost of LEEDThe Urban Green Councils recent study,"Cost of Green in NYC," surveyed 107properties, including 38 multi-family high-rises, pursuing LEED certification. Thestudy found no statistically significantdifference in construction cost betweenLEED and non-LEED projects.Construction costs in the LEED high-rises came out to around $440 persquare foot, while the non-green groupaveraged $436 per square foot. 80. What Is LEED v3?LEED v3 is the newest evolution of theLEED rating system. It was launchedon April 27, 2009. LEED v3encompasses three components: 1. LEED 2009, composed of LEEDrating system updates/revisions 2. Revision and evolution of LEEDcertification process 3. LEED Online v3 81. What Is LEED 2009?LEED 2009 aligns five ofthe rating systemsNC,CS and Schools (nowBD&C), CI (now ID&C)and EBOM (now EBO&M).All ratings in these fiveratings systems are basedon a 110-point system100 points plus 10potential bonus points. 82.

LEED Checklist 90. What is LEED-NC?LEED for New Construction and MajorRenovation (LEED-NC) is the original andmost popular LEED rating system. It wasdeveloped for commercial and institutionalbuildings (especially office buildings) but hasbeen successfully applied to a variety ofprojects. 91. LEED-NCMajor renovation involves elements of: Significant building envelope modifications Major interior rehabilitation Major HVAC renovation 92. What is LEED-CI?LEED for Commercial Interiors (LEED-CI)is an alternative rating system to LEED-NC.It was developed with office use, tenant fit-out projects in mind but has beensuccessfully applied to a variety of interiorconstruction projects. 93. What types of projects use LEED-CI?The official answer: According to the USGBC,LEED-CI is applicable to tenant projects.The USGBC then defines tenants as: one thatpays rent to occupy a building, an occupant whodwells in a place, and/or a holder of buildingssuch as ownership or lease.The short answer: Almost any type of interiorconstruction project that can meet theprerequisite and credit requirements*Individual apartments or condominiumscannot be certified 94. What types of projects use LEED-CI?The boundary lines between different LEEDrating systems overlap at times. TheUSGBC states, If more than one ratingsystem applies, then it is up to the projectteam to decide which one to pursue. Theproject is a viable candidateif it can meetall prerequisites and achieve the minimumpoints required in a given rating system. ? ? 95.

Quality Credits 97. What is LEED-CS?LEED-CI is complemented by a third rating system,LEED-CS (Core and Shell.) LEED-CS covers thedesign and construction of the building envelope,systems and core. LEED-CS can only be used forprojects where the owner will occupy less than 50%of the leasable square footage.It is advantageous (but not necessary) for a tenantconsidering LEED-CI to choose a LEED certifiedbase building. 98. LEED-CS LEED-CS is the only rating system under which aproject can complete a precertification application.Precertification provides a great opportunity tomarket the proposed green elements of the project. The project team details the strategies that will beused to pursue certification. Once a successful preliminary review of theapplication has been made by GBCI, the projectcan advertise that it is pre-certified. Precertification does not guarantee certification,and the project must still fulfill the certificationrequirements. 99. What is LEED for Existing Buildings O&M?LEED for Existing Buildings: Operations andMaintenance (LEED-O&M) is targeted towardsowners and operators and is applicable to buildingoperations, processes, systems upgrades, andminor space use changes.Oregon Convention Center, Portland OR, LEED-EB Certified 100. LEED-EB O&MLEED-EB O&M is targeted at singlebuildings that are 100% owner-occupied, though multiple-buildingprojects and single multi-tenantbuildings can potentially qualifyunder certain conditions.LEED-EB O&M is a whole-buildingAdobe HQ, San Jose CArating system; individual tenant LEED-EB Platinumspaces are ineligible. 101.

LEED-EB O&MA LEED-EB O&M project team is significantlydifferent from a LEED-NC, CI, CS or Schoolsproject team.LEED-EB O&M team members generallyinclude: Owner Facility manager Property manager Building engineer Groundskeeper 103. LEED for Schools K-12 projects must use LEED for Schools Other educational projects, including collegeprojects, can use LEED for Schools or LEED-NC LEED for Schools is applicable toboth new construction andrenovation projects LEED for Schools is very similar to LEED-NC but has two additional prerequisites:1) Environmental Site Assessment2) Minimum AcousticalPerformance 104. LEED for Neighborhood Development LEED-ND certifies new developments that takeinto account sustainability and communityconnectivity principles and encourage smartgrowth. The rating system is a joint effort of the USGBC,the Congress for New Urbanism and the NaturalResources Defense Council. LEED-ND includes five credit categories: 1) Smart Location and Linkage 2) Neighborhood Pattern and Design 3) Green Infrastructure and Buildings 4) Innovation and Design Process 5) Regional Priority Credits 105. LEED for Homes LEED for Homes is used for single-familydetached and low-rise (3 stories orunder) multifamily properties. Owner or builder must work from thebeginning of the project with a LEED forHomes provider to enter the program. LEED for Homes providers manageteams of green raters who performinspections and field testing and verifythat LEED for Homes requirements havebeen met. 106. LEED for Homes LEED-H has the same credit categories as theLEED 2009 rating systems, along with credits inthree additional categories: 1) Innovation and Design Process 2) Locations and Linkages 3) Awareness and Education LEED-H is based on a 136-point scale. LEED-H includes a Home Size Adjustmentprovision that allows the number of points requiredfor certification to be adjusted according to the sizeof the home and the number of bedrooms. 107. LEED for HomesLEED-H includes a durability planning prerequisitethat promotes high performance of the buildingenclosure and its components and systemsthrough appropriate design, materials selectionand construction practices. The durability planmust include the following: Evaluation of durability risks Incorporation of durability strategies into design Implementation of durability strategies into construction Third-party inspection of the implemented durability features 108.

Design credits can also be deferred and documentation submitted with construction submission. 122. LEED Certification Process: SubmittalSTEP 3: Certification Submission Regardless of the approach, the Project Administrator pays the appropriate fee and submits the credits for review. Certification fees are based on rating system and size of project. For the construction phase submittal, a project team is required to submit all credits that are being pursued that were not submitted for design. For two-stage submissions, the team can also include any new design credits they are attempting with the construction submittal. 123. LEED Process: Review Process After design submission review, credits aredesignated either: Anticipated Denied The reviewer can request any number of clarificationsafter both the design and construction reviews 124.

Construction Waste Management Implications and Opportunities 156. Construction Waste ManagementVermont Department of Environmental Conservation 157. Building Industry Waste: National Level The EPA estimates more than 325 ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/million tons of C&D debris in 2003* Approximately 92% of all C&D wasteis from renovation and demolition.** Approximately 60% of building-relatedC&D materials end up in landfills.****RCRA in Focus: Construction, Demolition and Renovation, September 2004**Resource Venture Construction Waste Management Guide, September 2005***Source: Recover Your Resources: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle Construction andDemolition Materials at Land Revitalization Projects, USEPA, April 2008 158. Building Industry Waste: National Level From 1992 to 1997, commercial newconstruction activity averaged 3.89 pounds ofwaste per square foot* The number of C&Dlandfills is declining, whichmeans fewer disposaloptions, greater haulingdistances, and increased California Integrated Wastefuel consumption and Management Boardvehicle emissions.*** Characterization of Building-Related Construction and Demolition Debris in the UnitedStates, June 1998** Source: Whole Building Design Guide 159. Building Industry Waste: MassachusettsMassachusetts produces significant volumes ofC&D debris. In 2002, EPA New England found that: C&D debris accounted for 36percent of all residential andcommercial solid wastegenerated in Massachusetts* C&D debris accounted foralmost 50 percent of thestates total commercial solidUniversity of North Carolina atChapel Hill Facilities Serviceswaste stream**Source: EPA New England http://www.epa.gov/region1/solidwaste/cnd/ 160. C&D Materials Programs: MassachusettsState and local governments in New Englandare working to divert this waste away from landdisposal by promoting the reuse and recycling ofC&D debris. Reducing C&D debris: Conserves landfill space Reduces the environmental impact of producing new materials Reduces overall building project expenses through avoided purchase/disposal costs 161. C&D Materials Disposal Three conventional end sources for C&D waste: Municipal solid waste landfills Handle household waste Subject to EPA landfill criteria Incinerators Combustion facilities C&D landfills Devoted exclusively to C&D materials Approximately 1,900 C&D landfills* Mostly regulated by state and local governments*Source: List of Industrial Waste Landfills and Construction and Demolition Waste Landfills,UPEPA, September 1994 162. Massachusetts C&D Disposal Measures: NowMassachusetts Department of EnvironmentalProtection (DEP) issued two measures: Beyond 2000 Solid Waste Master Plan committedMassachusetts to an 88 percent reduction in C&Dwaste by 2010 C&D disposal and transfer ban on five materialseffective July 1, 2006: Asphalt paving Brick Concrete MetalPowerscreen Wood 163. Massachusetts C&D Disposal Measures: NowResults of the disposal ban: MA first state to ban C&D waste Increased recycling facilities 14 C&D processing facilities Roma Stone Corp. 3 asphalt recycling facilities 1 gypsum wallboard recycling facility Currently more processing capacity than demand Estimated 1.977 million tons ofWastecycle C&D waste in 2007. 164. Massachusetts C&D Disposal Measures:FutureAs the recycling markets for other materials grow, itis predicted that the Massachusetts C&D disposalban will be expanded. Areas to keep an eye on: Gypsum wallboard Ceiling tiles Carpet National Gypsum Carpet Recycling UK 165. Emerging Issues Few regions are experiencing a shortage ofC&D landfill space. However, the increase intipping fees (especially in the Northeast and theNorthwest), regulations excluding C&D materialsfrom landfills, the decline of the numbers of C&Dlandfills in the U.S. (26% fewer between 1990and 2002*), and more rigorous standards fornew landfill design, all suggest landfill disposalof C&D waste will be significantly moreexpensive in the future.*Source: Whole Building Design Guide 166. C&D Definitions Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris:Results from construction, remodeling, repair ordemolition of buildings, roads or other structures. Itincludes (but is not limited to) wood, concrete,drywall, masonry, roofing, siding, structural metal,wire, insulation, asphalt, and packaging materialsrelated to construction or demolition. ADC (Alternative Daily Cover): Cover materialother than earthen material which is placed on thesurface of the active face of a municipal solid wastelandfill at the end of each operating day to controlvectors, fires, odors, blowing litter, and scavenging. 167. C&D Definitions Total Inbound Tons: The total tons ofrecyclable C&D waste, mixed C&Dwaste and non-recyclable C&D wasteentering a receiving facility. Mixed C&D Waste: C&D materialscontaining both recyclable and non- TSW Automation, Inc.recyclable materials that have not beensource separated. C&D waste isconsidered to be mixed waste if itcontains more than 10 percent but lessthan 90 percent recyclable C&D wasteby volume. 168. C&D Definitions Pure Loads of Recyclable C&D Waste: Loadsof single or mixed types of recyclable C&Dwaste that contain at least 90 percent recyclableC&D waste materials by volume. Commingled C&D: Pure loads of recyclableC&D waste that contain mixed types ofrecyclable materials stored in one on-sitecontainer, which is taken to a sorting facilitywhere materials are separated for recycling.Non-recyclable material may not be placed in acommingled container. 169. C&D Definitions Source-separated C&D Waste: A single kind of recyclable C&D waste material that has been separated from other C&D waste materials at the site of remodeling, repair, construction, demolition, or land clearing before it isHouston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) transported to a receiving facility. 170. Waste Prevention StrategiesPrevent waste from being generated in the firstplace. Architects and contractors can preventwaste during all phases of a project. Use standard dimensions in the building design Create less framing waste through techniques such as increased spacing of joists and studs and in-line framingConstructionOwl.com 171. Waste Prevention Strategies Use green building materials suchas products with recycled content. Consider used building materials.Most used building materials canbe installed provided they do notact as structural components or Salvoweb otherwise compromise safety.Materials purchased at salvageyards are 10 to 50 percent of thecost of new materials. 172. Question: Why Develop A Waste ReductionPlan?Answer: To not pay twice Each time you throw away waste from a project, you are paying twice for materials: First to buy them And again to throw out what youdont use Industrial Brokers Planning for waste reduction is the best way to save money and insure materials can be used most efficiently. 173. Construction Contract Components Many contracts require the contractor todocument their actual waste diversionperformance throughout the project. The CWMPlan, therefore, should include progressreporting procedures to record actual diversionand cost.The Content Wrangler Community 174. Construction Contract Components As the accepted Plan is a part of the contractdocument, it is often incorporated into theContractors Quality Control and Owners QualityAssurance processes. Some public owners goso far as to specify that progress payments willnot be approved until updated actual diversionperformance reports are submitted.Livelymoney.blogspot.com 175. Construction Contract Components Some contracts vest title to debris and wastematerials to the contractor, and allow thecontractor to accrue the economic benefits.These include cost avoidance through reduceddebris tipping expenses, revenues fromsalvaged and recycled materials, and costavoidance by using materials taken from thejobsite back into the project.Dealbreaker 176. Waste Reduction PlanningDevelopment of a Construction Waste ManagementPlan (CWMP) is critical. Keep the plan simple. Involve essential personnel in developing your plan. Target materials with high potential for reuse and recycling. Specify the methods to separate, store and collect materials. Make it as convenient as disposal, and protect materials from the elements or other damage. 177. Construction Waste Management PlanA successful plan should contain the followinginformation: Name of individual(s) responsible for wasteprevention and management Waste recycling or reuse goals (estimatedpercentage of waste diverted by the plan) Analysis of project waste: estimated materialtypes and quantities Actions that will be taken to reduce solid wastegeneration List of specific waste materials to be salvagedand recycled 178. Construction Waste Management Plan Description of the specific approaches to beused in recycling/reuse Material handling procedures Recycling facilities to be used. Waste cannotbe sent to a facility that is not included in theplan. Letters of certification from all facilities used Identification of materials that cannot berecycled or reused Name of landfill and the estimated costs,assuming no salvage or recycling 179.

Construction Waste Management Plan Anticipated net cost or savings Sample monthly recycling analysis report The plan must be printed on the contractorsletterhead; a plan on the waste hauling companysletterhead is not acceptable. 181. To Sort or Not to Sort?Source Separation The source-separation of C&D materials on site for recycling is generally more cost-effective than disposal or commingled recycling and yields an average facility recycling rate of 90+ percent. Source-separation also helps create higher-end markets for recyclables, such as the manufacture of new recycled- content building materials.Whole Building Design Guide 182.
