leed the way to a greener business environment today
DESCRIPTION
Presenter: Michael Pula, Senior Relations Manager, Panduit Corporation Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a rating system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council that encourages global adoption of sustainable and environmentally proven building methods. LEED benefits more than just commercial enterprises, but extends to neighborhoods, schools, healthcare and retail. This workshop takes a common sense approach to environmentally sustainable design, architecture and materials and demonstrates the benefits both in terms of lower operating costs as well as lowering environmental carbon footprint. Local and global examples will be presented.TRANSCRIPT

STORM WATER QUANTITY CONTROL
Seventy percent of water used at home is used outdoors.
Running a sprinkler for 2 hours can use up to 500 gallons of water.
66,175 gallons of water are used outdoors per household, per year
That same roof in a region receiving 30 inches of annual rainfall generates 41,000 gallons of reusable water.

STORM WATER QUALITY CONTROL
The Bioswale on the Illinois State University campus handles water runoff. The Constitution Trail runs through the parking lot behind Redbird Baseball field, which drains into nearby Sugar Creek.
A 10’ wide by 150’ long strip of asphalt was excavated, and two and half feet of sandy soil mix was installed in its place.
Both an erosion control and wet-meadow seed mix was specifically selected and sown.
The bio-swale is slightly concave in an effort to store some runoff as water percolates into the soil. MAY 30, 2009KENDALL COLLEGE - BUSINESS WORKSHOP

HEAT ISLAND EFFECTNON-ROOF
White Topping
Rather than resurfacing, a thin three inch (3”) layer of concrete is installed over existing asphalt. This eliminates the need to remove the old asphalt and reduces landfill waste.
The concrete lasts longer and it is estimated in most cases to be twice the life of asphalt. This conserves both money and resources as the surface needs to be replaced less frequently.
The white color has a high albedo and reflects rather than absorbs light. The reflective quality of the concrete doubled the candle power in the parking lot. This means more light with our existing lighting fixtures at no additional cost and a safer environment for faculty, staff and students.
The lighter surface color also helps reduce the heat island effect, which is often felt in parking lots with black/dark colors (temperatures can sometimes be 10 -12 degrees warmer because the dark color absorbs heat).

HEAT ISLAND EFFECTROOF
Green Roofs Intensive green roofs can sustain
shrubs, trees, walkways and benches with their complex structural support, irrigation, drainage and root protection layers. A foot or more of growing medium needed for an intensive green roof creates a load of 80-150 pounds (36-68 kilograms) per square foot.
Extensive green roofs are relatively light at 15-50 pounds (7-23 kilograms) per square foot. They support hearty native ground cover that requires little maintenance. Extensive green roofs usually exist solely for their environmental benefits and don't function as accessible rooftop gardens.
The green roof on the Chicago City Hall helps cool the building and minimize water run-off
