Policy Drivers
33% CO2 reduction below 2000 levels by 2020
LEED Silver for all construction and renovation

City Of Berkeley
Policy Drivers
2009 Climate Action Plan Adopted
33% CO2 reduction below 2000 level by 2020
LEED Silver for all construction and renovation
CoB audit of city buildings
- to achieve these aggressive goals - all new (city owned) buildings would have to be at ZNE

Procurement
RFP for West Berkeley
design team in 2009:
Proposal from Harley Ellis
Devereaux/Green Works
Studio
Referenced City
policies
Referenced National
2030 Challenge and CA
NZE Policy
Proposed ZNE building
Proposed leveraging
incremental design
cost
Only team to propose
ZNE strategy

Budget Impacts
$7.5 M total budget
$60,000 incremental
ZNE design cost
Offset by PG&E
Savings by
Design
~$250,000 incremental
ZNE capital cost
Initial cost estimates
over budget
Options
Considered CEC

City of Berkeley
Lessons Learned
Climate Action Plan and LEED policy drivers were critical
A Need for Institutional Improvements
Relied too heavily on favorable bid
Policies For Consideration
Life Cycle Cost Analysis requirements
Leverage projected O&M savings into capital budget
Mitigation/Offsets for expansions

Customer Energy Solutions- Energy Efficiency Programs
ZNE Team Effort
PG&E ZNE Pilot program
Provided design assist grant
It is not meant to cover the entire cost of ZNE analysis
Design effort far exceeded the grant
ZNE are not conventional Title 24 buildings- much greater effort required
Savings By Design
Only for Owner
Design team not eligible if design assist grant provided
There is still effort on the part of design team to document for owner

Radiant Floors
Radiant Slab
Triple Wall Radiant
Tubing
4” of Radiant Concrete
Slab
2” of Rigid Insulation
Engineer has to check
manifold design and
tubing layout to ensure
proper zoning
Template Layout is
important to avoid
punctures after slab is
poured
Educating the other
subcontractors is KEY
Install protection plates
under doors or locations
of other elements
needing penetration

Radiant Floors
Radiant Slab
Tight Urban Site provided
no laydown space.
Everything is stored within
the building.
Slab pours had to be
carefully phased/
coordinated to allow
materials to be relocated
6” concrete curbs at all
interior partitions
Curb cutouts need to be
planned for manifolds and
for construction access-
cherry pickers, etc.

Wind Chimney
Natural Ventilation
Interior of chimney
has to be lined with
acoustic board
Provide for access
to service and
maintain
Patrons standard
comment is usually
about how quiet the
building is
CFD studies were
worth it. No
discomfort reported

Roxul Rock Wool Insulation
3x8 wood studs @
24” on center
Wood is thermally
efficient vs. steel stud
Minimal thermal
transfer
7 ¼” of wall cavity
filled with rock wool
insulation = R30
2 layers of Roxul in
roof/ ceiling =R41
5 week lead time
from Canada
Good acoustic
performance, high
thermal performance,
fire protection,
moisture and mold
resistant and does
not sag over time
Great hygrothermal
performance
