October is Energy Awareness Month Net-Zero Energy Building Construction - Believing is Seeing/ Seeing Is Believing

By: Dean S. Borges, P.E.Inspired to live “Green” - What does that

mean to people? To date, the USEnvironmental Protection Agency continues topromote data for many aspects of efficiency inbuildings (Reference: 04/17/13 Green PowerPartnership of Top 50 organizations that arechoosing to use electricity from clean, renew-able sources) to those organizations that agreeto use Green Power for at least 5 years toreduce greenhouse gas emissions. Fifteen(15) of these organizations are from highereducation institutions. Partners in Hawaiiinclude: Whole Foods Market, Wal-Mart Stores,US Department of Energy, StarbucksCompany-owned Stores, McDonald’s USA, USAir Force, US Department of Veterans Affairs,Best Buy, and Safeway Inc. Green Power isdefined by EPA as any combination of solar,wind, geothermal, biogas, certain biomass andlow-impact small hydroelectric sources.

These business partners have embraced the“Green” concepts into their economic modelsby supporting the concept of “reduce, reuse orrecycle” in their everyday operations. Theyhave focused-in on the means and methods,put that into a life-cycle-cost analysis (LCCA)and determined it makes simple economicsense, environmental sense and businesssense to do so.

In terms of total energy consumption in theUS; the buidings use about 41% of the 100quadrillion BTUs, even above transportationwhich includes aircraft and ships (per UnitedStates Energy Information Agency - USEIA2012). Two-thirds of that consumption is fossilfuel and 74% of these buildings were con-structed before 1989 prior to the establishmentof energy codes requiring efficiency (perUSEIA 2003).

The US government intervention to use ener-gy efficiently did not come until the oil embargoof 1973. In 1975, ASHRAE created Standard90-75 to simply impose the installation of insu-lation in building’s envelop, and, the manufac-turing of fuel efficient vehicles. Some entre-penuers have chosen to capture more of theearth’s natural resources: sun, water and bio-mass. It was the economic impact that forced areaction towards being “Green.” As timepassed, some activities of being Green wereruined by poor concepts and “get-rich-quick”contractors.

In fact, being labeled a “tree hugger” or“environmentalist” was imposed on any personor group of individuals, who continued todesire the changes to the wasteful consump-tion of energy such as the oil embargo in USA;

the poor air quality such as the smog in LA; orthe poor water quality such as the pollution ofCuyahoga River in Ohio. It was “unAmerican”to suggest changes to what had appeared tobe an economic boom and how the manyaspects of those issues were about efficientusages of the natural resources. Rememberthat “efficiency” meant having the same quailityof life by simply preserving what we have onthis planet in using our natural resources wiselyby using less fossil fuel energy to provide com-fort in buildings.

What engineers have done is to design newconstruction using today’s 3-D modelling, theinteroperability of softwares, and the measure-ment systems to intergrate efficiency into theirbuildings energy and emissions equations.Yes, engineering tools, are the key that unlocksthe successful investment in the “Green” build-ing world.

Some ultra-focused buildings are trying tooperate with a “Net-Zero” energy consumptionimpact. Most are using a life-cycle cost analy-sis of the investments in their decision-makingprocess plus other focused factors they aresetting goals for in their business models toattract customers.

Let’s take a look at our first example of a net-zero construction facility built in Las Vegas,Nevada. This facility, located at southeast cor-ner of Town Center Drive & Discovery Drive ofthe Summerlin Community, is a 9,790 squarefoot, 2-story, retail cyclery store having a 53 kWphotovoltaic array and a 4 kW micro wind tur-bine to balance the energy needs over thecourse of a year. It has clerestory windows,side-wall glazing and tubular skylights, whichprovide natural lighting in the spaces of thisfacility. LED light fixtures are controlled by day-lighting (occupancy) sensors. Low-solar-heat-gain glazing, thermal mass walls, seals aroundwindows and doors keep infiltration at a minu-mum. HVAC system used evaporative coolersin combination with high-efficiency heat pumprooftop units all controlled by a direct digitalcontrol system that monitors outdoor andindoor conditions to reduce/optimize HVACenergy consumption.

Our next example is an existing building, aCity’s owned commercial office, theRidgehaven Building located in San Diego,California. Built in 1981, this 1995 renovated 3-story building having a 78,000 square feet hasefficient HVAC, lighting, recycled materials,ventilation effectiveness, photovoltaics andlow-emiting materials. It resulted in a remark-ably efficient building for a very reasonablecost of $2 million.

Our third example is a non-profit long-termcare facility built in 1991. This 30,000 squarefeet, 2-story high building is set at a centrallight court with a large garden where the prima-ry building circulation occurs. The health pro-motion techniques are applied to provide thebuilding with natural lighting, non-toxic materi-als and products, appropriate air exchange,orgainic high shapes, textures and plant mate-rials, handicap accessibility, and an openspace design to assist those with specialimpairments. The use of the daylighting andpassive solar heating techniques has thegreatest effect in lowering energy consump-tion.

What are the driving forces to inspire thesekind of building innovations? In the Las Vegasexample, they use the natural temperature vari-ations and low humidity conditions typicallyfound in that climate zone by maximizing theeffects. In San Diego, reducing the energycost, recycling the materials and reusing exist-ing facility are a much simpler goal that a Citycan achieve with minimal cost when comparedto constructing a brand new building for thesame use. And, the study performed by thehealth care facility shows the impacts of thebuilding on their patients when the most suit-able environment was provided for theirpatients. Reusing existing materials and ideal-izing the caring of their patients are the drivingforces for this non-profit organization. Theseare common strategies that can be inspira-tional to accomplish the “Green” theme.

Where can future building owners / usersobtain their inspirations to build Green?Government should stipulate more stringentregulations to implement the adoption of highlevel standards such as, ASHRAE Standard189.1 (Standard for the Design of HighPerformance, Green Buildings).. The lobbyistshould back-off and not allowing the econom-ics simply drive the venture capitalist…Perhaps, this could be just a virtual dream, but,until you first have a dream, it would not be areality. Energy producers chime in by keepingcost in a range that allows for profit in theirbusiness models while limiting alternativerenewable systems little margins to becomeeconomically viable. The venture capitalist canenvision opportunities in a market for profitablegrowth when consumers want and learn thebenefits of the concepts of building “Green.”

When a constructor of Green buildingslearns the techniques to reduce his cost ofconstruction they need to continue those typesof means and methods to stay proficient and

Section Meeting HighlightsOn August 28, Bob Lottie, from Marine Corp

Base Hawaii (MCBH), was the featured speak-er at the monthly section meeting. Heexplained that the MCBH includes not only theKaneohe Bay location, aka. K-Bay, but alsoCamp H. M. Smith in Halawa and the BellowsTraining Area as well. He discussed the reduc-tion in personnel with 1700 sailors likely to go toWhidbey, WA and Jacksonville, FL. But by2025, some 2700 individuals will come toHawaii from Australia, and about 8,000 Marineswill need to leave Okinawa. Sustainability wasalso discussed, including metering cost andenergy usage, conservation mandates, netzero homes, a wave energy test site, and a 12megawatt solar power purchase agreement. Allnew construction is certified LEED Silver, withsome reaching Gold level. Questions were wel-comed, with one being about motorcycle safe-ty. MCBH does promote driver safety; includingholding a “track day” event, however, motorcy-cles are popular among the younger militaryand safety remains an issue.

A state society of the National Society of Professional Engineers

P.O. BOX 3774 HONOLULU, HAWAII 96812

On July 20, 2013, the NSPE Board ofDirectors approved the issuance of the NSPEPosition Statement No. 1769 regarding theLicensure of Returning Veterans as is notedbelow:NSPE Position Statement No. 1769 Licensure of Returning Veterans Approved by the NSPE Board of Directors onJuly 20, 2013

The policies outlined below are consideredto be in concert with, and supportive of, thefederal government undertaking to assuregainful employment of returning veterans whowish to enter the private nonmilitary workforce,and also those who wish to continue militaryservice and to either obtain or maintain previ-ously acquired licensure as professional engi-neers.

The following policies are recommended byNSPE for adoption by state boards of licensure. 1. Experience requirements: To be acceptable, engineering experience

gained in the armed forces must be of acharacter equivalent to that which wouldhave been gained in the civilian sector whiledoing similar work. Requirements regardingsupervision by and references from, engi-neers should be the same for veterans as areapplicable in that state for engineers inindustry.

2. Educational requirements: Military applicants for licensure, active or

recently separated, shall have successfullygraduated from an ABET-accredited engi-neering program.

3. Testing requirements: Military applicants for licensure shall have

successfully passed the FE and PE examina-tions in order to be eligible for licensure as aprofessional engineer.

4. Renewals: If a PE license expires while on active duty in

a location outside of the United States, stateboards are requested to provide a time peri-od for renewal of the earliest of up to 180days from date of separation from the military

or upon return to the United States. Thelicense of a member of the armed forces,who is on active duty in a location outside ofthe United States, should remain valid untilhe or she returns, and for 180 days there-after.

5. Portability: State boards of licensure are encouraged to

expedite the licensure process for militaryspouses who are licensed in other states andhave left employment there to accompany aspouse relocated to another state due to amilitary transfer, while ensuring that requisitequalifications for licensure are met.

6. Continuing professional development hours(PDHs) and renewal fees:

NSPE recommends that licensees serving onactive duty in the armed forces in a locationoutside of the United States for a period oftime exceeding 180 consecutive days in alicensure renewal period should be exemptfrom obtaining the PDHs required during thatlicensure renewal period, and should havepayment of renewal fees waived while serv-ing outside of the United States.As a reminder, HSPE will be seeking nomi-

nees for the 2014 Engineer of the Year andFALEA/HSPE will be seeking nominees for the2014 Young Engineer of the Year. Pleaseconsider proposing candidates for these twoprestigious awards. Nomination forms will beavailable on the HCES and HSPE websites.Mahalo!

OCTOBER DINNER MEETINGProgram: Iroquois Point BeachNourishment and Stabilization ProjectSpeakers: Scott Sullivan, Sea Engineering,Inc.

The Iroquois Point Beach Restoration is thelargest single beach nourishment project everaccomplished in Hawaii. The 4,200-foot-longproject shoreline has been chronically erodingfor over 50 years, receding 300 feet at the westend. The project consisted of the constructionof nine rock rubblemound T-head groin struc-tures, recovery of 90,000 cubic yards of sandfrom the side of the Pearl Harbor channelwhere the eroding sand had been deposited,and placement of the sand in the cells createdby the groins. This has resulted in a restoredprotective beach and a greatly enhancedmarine habitat while reducing the need formaintenance dredging of the Pearl Harborchannel.

Special Olympics Hawaii ‘Aukake ClassicBocce and Soccer TournamentBy Tiffany Hamada, Community ServiceChair

On Saturday, August 17, 2013, nine YMFmembers volunteered at the Special OlympicsHawaii 2013 ‘Aukake Classic Bocce andSoccer Tournament at Waiau District Park. The‘Aukake Classic is a two day event where morethan 400 coaches and athletes from around thestate participate in multi-division 5-a-side soc-cer tournament, individual skills soccer compe-tition, and traditional and unified bocce dou-bles competition. Once the games finished, theathletes waited patiently to receive theirmedals. YMF members helped with the distrib-ution of the Bocce medals by putting labels onthe medals, arranging the medals on the pre-senter’s boards, walking the teams up to thestage, and finding the team who has all peoplepresent ready to get their awards next. As eachathlete received their award, they were filledwith excitement and smiles. Thank you to theYMF volunteers for coming out to help at thisevent and to Cindy Ujimori for coordinating thisevent with the YMF.

nied my article with a 1909 architectural draw-ing of a new Pantheon building, attributed toarchitect H. L. Kerr, that was being planned tooccupy the ewa-mauka corner of Honolulu’sHotel and Fort streets. The previous month, Iquoted a 1910 newspaper report that identifiedengineer J. L.

remain profitable. It appears that only the larg-er companies and governments can perceive aprofit and enjoy the benefits of Green. Onlywhen codes are imposed by governing juris-dictions to build to a certain set of standardswill a real change occur.

ASHRAE has a long history of being recog-nized as having energy efficiency standardsfor building HVAC&R energy use. It continuesto lead the way in providing target energy con-sumption rates to the building communities…most recently the new ASHRAE Standard189.1-2011 which provides guidelines to builda net-zero building. Cautions are issued toincorporate a life-cycle cost analysis in theseinvestments.

On a worldwide scale – the concepts of net-zero energy building (NZEB) construction aregradually being implemented bydevelopers/investors. With time, the incorpora-tion of the NZEB construction techniques willprovide the energy needed for all facilities withminimum usage of the fossil fuel so as to allowour younger generation to see the “GREEN”light down the tunnel.

Efficiency can be engineered to help solveour impacts to natural resources on the planet,especially in the building sector of the UnitedStates, which is a reasonable goal to inspire avision of “Green” concepts to all Americans.

ACEC Minuteman Fund, ACEC/FloridaGreat news for ACEC members across the

country! With the help of the ACEC MinutemanFund, ACEC/Florida scored a major legislativevictory with the passage of a new law shieldingindividual design professionals from personalliability for professional negligence when work-ing for a business entity. Prior to the law’s pas-sage, contractual limitation of liability clausesin Florida did not apply to the individual practi-tioner. The new law now provides liability pro-tection to the design professional if they areworking within their scope of employment andif specific wording mandated in the statute isincluded in the business entity’s contracts withclients.

ACEC’s Minuteman Fund represents one ofthe most direct ways in which ACEC providesassistance to member organizations for localbattles of national importance. It has beenused successfully for a host of initiatives acrossthe nation to defend our front-line businessinterests.

architect/structural engineer practice. A morelikely explanation is offered below.

As planned, the building had a reverse “L”shape, extending 177.5 feet along Fort and120 feet on Hotel Street. Located above theFort Street frontage were the Club Stables thathad been in competitition to the PantheonStables before the latter were set on fire in 1900to arrest the spread of the bubonic plague.Initially, only 90 feet of frontage was possibleon Hotel Street as the Art Theater had a long-term lease on a lot owned by the PantheonCompany [Hawaiian Gazette (HG) 7/20/1909].The Dakin Fire Map reflects this situation andshows what it designates as the planned“Dowsett Building,” Mrs J.M. Dowsett being theprincipal owner of the Pantheon BuildingCompany.

This was a time when theaters for movingpictures, vaudeville and other acts prolifratedin Honolulu to the point that Hotel Street wasdescribed as “Honolulu’s Fillmore street of SanFrancisco [HG 3/9/1909].” A position for a“boss carpenter” was advertised on May 4,1908 while the Art was being erected [EveningBulletin 5/4/1908], and the theater opened onWednesday, June 10, 1908 [Hawaiian Star6/9/1908]. Cooled by “forced draught,” it wascrowded to capacity since its opening day [EB,6/17/1908]. Its proprietors, Elsie Bailey (later,Almy and even later, Andrews) and Henry M.Lawson, added to their portfolio the “GaietyTheater” on Front Street in Hilo that opened onMay 5, 1909 [HS, 4/28/1908]. They also madeplans to “erect a large amusement hall [HG,3/9/1909]” to be named the “Auditorium”behind the Art, having a seating capacity aslarge as two other houses [HS, 9/24/1909].” Asshown on the Dakin map, the entrance to it wasplanned to be via an arcade through the firstfloor of the Pantheon Building on Fort Street.

Marston Campbell, the Superintendent ofPublic Works, signed the buiding permit for theAuditorium on March 31, 1909 and, to ensurethat it would not be a “menace,” it received theinspection of “both Fire Chief Thurston andPlumbing and Building Inspector Miehstein[Hawaiian Star (HS) 6/2/1909; HG 6/4/1909]” atthe request of Mayor Fern. The fire Chief was“satisfied that when the building is completed...it will comply with the regulations regarding fireproof buildings, viz. Chapter 74, Section 957,Revised Laws, 1905.” The concern about fire-proofing was undoubtly stimulated by theChinatown Fire of 1900 that I discussed previ-ously. Building Inspector Miehstein examinedthe plans and instructed Mr.Lawson “how andwhere to place the necessary ‘members’ tomake the building structurally safe.” It does not

appear that either an architect or a structuralengineer were involved in the design of thenew theater. During construction, a carpenterby the name of Peter McDonald was reportedto have fallen off a scaffold and taken toQueens Hospital [HS, 9/8/1909] but I wasunable to ascertain whether he was the “bosscarpenter” who had been hired the previousyear for the erection of the Art Theater. Hisqualifications as a builder are attested by thefact that he also had “the contract for erectingthe Weather Bureau’s kiosk at Bishop and Hotelstreets [Pacific Commercial Advertiser,9/9/1909].

Unfortunately, “swinging the big Auditorium,Mrs. Almy and H. M. Lawson... were forced intoconsiderable debt. Mrs. Almy is now inCalifornia for the purpose of seeking funds withwhich to complete the Auditorium [HS,3/17/1910].” Indeed signs of the financial diffi-culties became evident earlier when, unable tomake payments, the partners took out a mort-gage recorded on July 1, 1909 for $2758.50from Hilo Mercantile Co. covered by “interest inleasehold, buildings, fixtures, moving picturemachine. etc. of Gaiety Theater [HG,8/6/1909].” A second mortgage for $2733 fromLawrence J. Ekberg was recorded onDecember 21, 1909 [EB, 5/13/1910]. Not muchlater, they were sued in Honolulu by two credi-tors, John Neill with a mechanics lien for non-payment for labor and materials and PatrickWalsh for non-payment of a loan. Despite thefact that they filed demurrers [HG, 12/28/1909]that made their way to the Supreme Court ofthe Territory [HS, 3/2/1910], the incompleteauditorium was placed in the hands of a trusteefor the benefit of the creditors [HS, 3/17/1910].

In the meantime, Mrs. Almy’s efforts on thecoast bore fruit because “the construction ofthe Honolulu auditorium theater, which hasbeen abandoned for some time, will be com-pleted in a near future” following “the arrivalfrom Los Angeles of Mr. Clark, one of the wellknown financiers of that city [EB, 4/8/1910].”

Interestingly, along with notices about thefeatured performances at the Art Theater, a for-sale ad appeared in several newspapers inJune 1910 announcing the availability of “sev-eral hudreds of the latest and best Victorphonograph records, at one-half original cost.”Subsequently Lawson was said to be “planningto begin vigorous work on his new theaterbuilding..., which has hung fire for a long time”[HS, 8/4/1910].” Consistently, the Oct. 28, 1910issue of HG explained that Lawson had com-pleted financial arrangments and will proceedwith revised plans prepared by the Lord-Youngconstruction company for the auditorium andthe arcade-entrance through the Pantheon at

ASCE History, continued from page 3 $40,000. Perhaps this is the reason J. L. Young(and not H. L. Kerr) had been identified as thearchitect of the Patheon building. Moreover, onNov. 21, 1910, the HS announced that “Lordand Young will furnish the funds necessary forthe completion of the partially built AuditoriumTheater.” An estimated $18,000 was neededfor this purpose.

Lord-Young determined that “the foundationshad been sunk deep into the coral and are farin excess of the size and strength needed.”The “stage floor is supported by bolted beamsresting on iron pillars, and above this... a super-structure composed of heavy timbers, boltedand supported by arches which are solid.” Theroof above the 2000-seat audience section wasretractable on “railroad tracks,” with “side mez-zanine boxes rising in steps toward the gallery”and no “pillars or posts in the auditorium sec-tion.” The plan featured 13-14 fire escapes andfire protection was provided by a sprinkler sys-tem consisting of perforated pipes “so that theentire stage can be instantly flooded.”

According to Lowell Angell’s 2011 book“Theaters of Hawaii,” the Art closed in 1910. Itwas put up for trustee sale in April 1911 andwas demolished in March, 1912 [EB, 3/9/1912].The Gaiety was foreclosed in 1911 and sold toEddie Fernandez on June 15, 1911 for theknocked down proce of $2000 [HS, 6/17/1911].

The Auditorium was never finished as anattempt to form a stock company to save itfailed to materialize [HS, 2/2/1911]. To addinsult to injury, it was slapped with anothernotice of mechanic’s lien, by the PeerlessPreserving Paint Co. this time, “on account oflabor performed and materials furnished [HS,4/6/1911],” and was sold at a high sheriff’ssale for $1700 to creditor John Neill, who noti-fied the Pantheon Co. of his intent to removethe structure on June 14 [HS, 6/14/1911]. Onthe same day, attorneys for the latter obtaineda bill for a temporary injunction against Neill toprotect its interests as land lessor. Following aseries of legal maneuvers, the two partiesreached a compromise about sharing the pro-ceeds of the sale of the salvaged materials[HS, 8/16/1911].

As for the Pantheon building, “the pilikia overthe erection of the Auditorium... caused theowners of the property to hold up all plans” formore than a year [HG, 7/26/1910].
