Message from Mayor Rahm Emanuel

As Mayor, I am focused on elevating sustainability throughout city government. I am committed to increasing employment and entrepreneurship around energy and making sure that Chicago is the greenest city in the world. We have launched a number of innovative programs. I have vowed to doubling the number of government-owned LEED buildings, to a total of 80; we are building 100 miles of protected bike lanes; and we are creating ten Energy Efficiency Target Zones across the city. Additionally, we have launched competitive building for our recycling program, which will ultimately lead to recycling across Chicago. And we are working to establish the Chicago River as the city’s next recreational frontier, which will create jobs and economic opportunity throughout the city.

I believe every business decision can be a green decision. This requires hard work, cooperation and commitment from local government as well as every individual, business and institution in Chicago. We must all work together to realize our collective environmental goals. The Chicago Department of Aviation’s commitment to green initiatives is an important part of our sustainable vision. This Sustainable Airport Manual guides the integration of the most innovative and progressive sustainable measures in the aviation industry into all administrative, planning, design, construction, daily operations, and maintenance activities for the Chicago Department of Aviation and its tenants. Chicago's two international airports currently provide nonstop service to over 30 countries in addition to a robust domestic network. Combined, O'Hare and Midway serve approximately 85 million passengers annually and serve a vital role in the global economy. As our airports continue to evolve and grow, so too will their efficiency and economic output, providing additional opportunity for Chicago to strengthen its commitment to environmental initiatives and further our ongoing effort to be a leader in green innovation. Sincerely, Rahm Emanuel Mayor City of Chicago

Message from Commissioner Rosemarie S. Andolino The Chicago Department of Aviation continues to serve as a benchmark for environmental stewardship by embracing the best environmental, social, and fiscally responsible practices at our airports. Our goal is to complement and promote the City of Chicago’s commitment to green initiatives and to enhance the quality of life for our citizens. Under the O’Hare Modernization Program, the City of Chicago introduced the Sustainable Design Manual in 2003, to ensure that sustainable initiatives and measurements were implemented during the build out and modernization of Chicago O’Hare International Airport. The Sustainable Design Manual positioned Chicago as the first in the nation to develop sustainable guidelines for design and construction at airports. It established the model for green airport development and has since received national and international recognition. The Sustainable Design Manual was just the beginning. We continue to expand our focus to incorporate sustainable initiatives for airport planning, operations and maintenance, and concessions and tenants. To encompass all of these areas into one comprehensive document, we have created the Sustainable Airport Manual (SAM) which highlights each topic with a dedicated chapter. This Manual is intended to be a “living document,” one that will continue to grow and evolve, to include emerging new technologies, state-of-the-art design and thought-provoking principles as they develop. We are looking ahead to the future and working with industry experts, airport and airline professionals to collaborate on best practices and lessons learned from airports around the world. This Manual would not have been possible without the collaborative input from so many dedicated individuals. I would like to sincerely thank each of you who contributed to the development of the Sustainable Airport Manual. It is because of your hard work, time and commitment that this document will become the model for sustainable implementation at airports across the globe. Sincerely,

Rosemarie S. Andolino Commissioner Chicago Department of Aviation

…We have to start today and make those incremental benefits that we can continue to learn from, grow from, and continue to enhance in order for us to be better tomorrow…


Chicago Department of Aviation …This is a living document with many features to be updated on a continuous basis. Because technology is changing and new cutting-edge material is becoming available, there are opportunities to make enhancements on a continuous basis…

Sam Mehta San Francisco International Airport

…We want to make sure that people who want to follow a concept back to its origins have the references to do so…we have participation nationally and globally from other airports and we

want this document to have a worldwide bench-mark presence…

Ken Westlake U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

…We are seeing things changing and evolving very quickly …

VISION STATEMENT

The Chicago Department of Aviation is embracing the best possible environmental, social, and fiscally responsible practices to enhance the quality of life and complement the overall mission and goals of the City of Chicago. It is our vision that the Sustainable Airport Manual will become the global industry standard for sustainability planning, development, and everyday functions at airports around the world.

INTRODUCTION

When the original edition of this manual was unveiled as the Sustainable Design Manual (SDM) in December of 2003, Chicago was the first in the nation to develop sustainability guidance for airports. Numerous, wide-ranging OMP projects have since been reviewed and rated according to the standards established by the SDM, resulting in the evolution of a unique process and many industry firsts:

Development of a rating system Development of a green airplane certification award system Recognition of designers and contractors for sustainable accomplishments

The 2003 SDM used the LEED-NC 2.1 rating system as a basis. In 2009, the SDM was updated based on LEED® 2009, as well as lessons-learned from implementation of the previous manual, and the availability of newer technologies. The SDM was updated and became the Design & Construction Chapter of the new Sustainable Airport Manual (SAM) that was unveiled in August 2009. In November 2010, the SAM 2.0 version, which incorporates the new Planning, Operations & Maintenance, and Concessions & Tenants chapters, was released. In November 2011, the new SAM 2.1 version was released, featuring updated standards and regulations, additional case studies, a Green Airplane rating system for Concessions and Tenants Design and Construction projects, and other various document upgrades. SAM v3.0 was released in November 2012. Version 3.0 features additional credit guidance, new credits, revised rating systems, and updated case studies.

PURPOSE

The Sustainable Airport Manual (SAM) is an integral part of Chicago’s ongoing efforts toward implementing more environmentally sustainable buildings and civil infrastructure, incorporating best practice guidance for planning, operations and maintenance of all City airport facilities and functions, and those of its tenants.

The purpose of the SAM is to integrate airport-specific sustainable planning and practices early in the design process, through planning, construction, operations,

Au17

maintenance and all airport functions with minimal impact to schedule or budget. To achieve greater success, the SAM should be considered in every step of a project.

While certain elements of the SAM are specific to the Chicago Department of Aviation, they can easily be customized and interpreted for any airport’s unique environment. The vast majority of SAM’s guidance is already applicable to any airport.

Sustainable practices can potentially reduce the environmental impact of the built environment while at the same time creating financial and operational benefits for a project, and social benefits for the community at large. Together, these aspects of sustainability are commonly referred to as the “triple bottom line.”

The SAM provides direction and is a guideline for incorporation of as many sustainable elements into a project as are feasible, beyond those elements that are required through an individual project’s contract specifications and design standards.

PROCESS

The Administrative Procedures chapter is designed to certify the sustainability of airport-related administrative activities associated with the planning, design, construction, maintenance and daily operations. Therefore, the Administrative Procedures section of every checklist will need to be completed for every submission.

The Planning chapter is intended to address the conceptual planning of the airport’s physical environment to facilitate implementation of design, construction, and/or operation and maintenance in a sustainable manner.

The Design & Construction chapter continues the process of incorporating sustainability into major renovations and construction projects.

The Operations & Maintenance chapter is designed to certify the sustainability of ongoing operation of building operations, operational and maintenance procedures, system upgrades, minor space-use changes, and minor facility alterations or additions, and training and educational programs.

The Concessions & Tenants chapter is designed to certify the sustainability of concession and tenant activities, including daily operations, as well as design and construction of tenant space within the terminals.

Users of this Manual can reference the following flow chart to determine the chapters that apply.

INTRODUCTION

The Sustainable Airport Manual (SAM) Green Airplane Rating System for Administrative Procedures (AP) is designed to certify the sustainability of airport-related administrative activities associated with the planning, design, construction, maintenance and daily operations. This chapter will be common to all other chapters of the SAM in order to promote workplace practices, procedures and material use that provide the reduction of energy, water and materials.

The intention is to not only plan, design, construct, maintain and operate an airport in a sustainable manner, but to also be cognizant that the process of administering these activities should integrate sustainability as well.

APPLICABILITY

These administrative procedures are applicable to any type of project. They are intended to be used and followed in everyday operations and activities by anyone acting or operating on behalf of the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA).

All parties are required to complete the Administrative Procedures section of the checklist for every submission.

PROCESS

Within the Manual’s main body, each administrative procedure “Credit” has five subsections: Intent, Requirements, Submittals, Technology/Strategy, and Case Studies as described below:

Intent: The primary motivations for any sustainable practice.

Requirements: Specifies elements that satisfy the intent. The prerequisites must be achieved; the credits are optional, but contribute to the overall rating.

Submittals: Required and supporting documentation and/or information required to achieve applicable prerequisites or credits. This documentation may include calculations, data, short narratives, policies, documents or references to specifications or material datasheets indicating how the requirements are being met.

Technology/Strategy: Highlights specific ways of meeting the recommendations within the scope for each specific credit. Case studies where available, are presented to help guide the application of sustainable credits to projects and efforts. To aid with consideration of applicable strategies and technologies, they are organized into the following three categories: “Standard Practice,” “Recommended Practice,” and “Best Available Practice.”

o Standard Practice: These are requirements that may be due to standards, specifications, codes, general best management or construction practices. They are practices already in place, and SAM prerequisites, which also serve to meet sustainable goals.

AuAP-3

Rahm Emanuel Mayor


November 5, 2012


o Recommended Practice: These include recommendations that are expected to have insignificant impacts to cost and are therefore, encouraged to be incorporated.

o Best Available Practice: These are strategies and practices that are expected to enhance the sustainability efforts of the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA), but are anticipated to potentially have an impact on the cost and/or schedule. A simple cost/benefit analysis can be conducted to determine the practicality of implementation.

Case Study: Examples of credit intent “in action” at airports and/or other industry facilities.

While not all strategies will be applicable, those using this Manual are encouraged to think creatively and to consider the intent of each issue throughout the decision process.

SUBMITTALS

Incorporation of sustainable administrative procedures is expected in every aspect of the operations and activities of the CDA and its contactors. The tracking of the AP credits have been integrated into the SAM Planning checklist, SAM Design & Construction checklist, SAM Operations & Maintenance checklist, and SAM Concessions & Tenant checklist.

In order to achieve points, certain requirements need to be met, as outlined in each credit. In some instances, studies, calculations and data would be appropriate. In other instances, this will be accomplished through short narratives, policies, documents, product and material data or through referenced standards or specifications.

In addition to review of the checklist, the Sustainable Review Panel (SRP) will review any supporting documentation including calculations, policy documents, specifications, and contractor’s submittals as needed to support the achievement of the credit(s). See Section titled Implementation and Review Process for detailed information about the SRP.

IMPLEMENTATION AND REVIEW PROCESS

The SAM and its supporting documentation are administered by the Sustainable Review Panel (SRP), which is intended to consist of representatives of the CDA Management Staff, CDA Design and Construction Staff and Representatives, OMP Project Management Office (PMO) and Master Civil Engineer (MCE), and Airport Planners actively involved in CDA projects. The composition of the SRP is intended to be dynamic depending on needs.

The SRP is responsible for the review of submittals with respect to sustainability and provides technical support to the each project in relation to sustainable practices appropriate. The SRP is responsible for review of every checklist and for the awarding of “Green Airplane Certification” ratings based on the extent of incorporation of sustainable practices as outlined in this Manual and as documented on the submitted SAM Checklist(s).

Other responsibilities of the SRP include preparation and review of sustainable design related specifications, technical memoranda, and miscellaneous documents, as necessary. In addition, the SRP is responsible for presentations and training to project team members with respect to

AuAP-4

Rahm Emanuel Mayor

AP ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES

AP.1 Prerequisite 1 – Green Meetings

Required

INTENT

Green meeting practices are intended to guide meeting hosts, planners, and attendees toward more eco-friendly meetings. A few extra efforts to incorporate environmental considerations into planning and conducting meetings will help to minimize the negative impact on the environment and educate all participants regarding sustainable meetings.

Green meeting practices are intended to:

Conserve resources Reduce environmental impacts Save money Support Chicago’s commitment to environmental stewardship

REQUIREMENTS

Whenever applicable, follow the green meeting practices outlined below, or your existing corporate sustainability policy, whichever is more stringent.

SUBMITTALS

Include narrative on SAM Checklist and if following your own corporate sustainability policy, please include with submittal for this section.

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Meeting Greeting

The following are sample text that the meeting host could use to remind participants of the intent to conduct meetings in a green manner:

I want to remind everyone that we are conducting our meeting following green meeting practices, which are intended to:

Conserve resources Reduce environmental impacts Save money; and Support Chicago’s commitment to environmental stewardship.

(Continued on following page)

AuAP-6

(Continued from previous page)

We conduct our meetings in an environmentally friendly manner.

Please mute all cell phones for social courtesy and the most efficient use of everyone’s valuable time.

Please use the recycle bins for recyclable items at the end of the meeting.

Help to ensure the lights are turned off as we leave the meeting room.

Meeting Planning

Meeting hosts should consider the following when planning for a meeting:

Reduce the number of copies produced by: Sharing meeting materials Digitizing materials and distributing presentations via email prior to meetings Placing materials on the wall (one large print or presented with projector equipment) If handouts are needed at the meeting, produce handouts: Locally Double-sided Using high post-consumer recycled content paper Using chlorine-free paper Using vegetable-based inks if available for type of printing Print in draft mode (uses less ink) Exhibits and presentation materials: Same suggestions as handouts above; and Reuse display boards, utilize both front and back sides Use low-emitting materials for exhibit displays Recycle cardboard and other packaging materials For the participants not in the building: can they participate by internet/phone? Contact the expected meeting participants ahead of time and present them with the option

of a video/phone conference via the internet/phone, if appropriate. Costs associated with technical support may still be less than travel/fuel costs in some cases.

What if travel cannot be avoided? Can attendees carpool/carshare? Provide attendees with mass transit options, such as CTA or Pace Bus, including directions. Encourage walking and biking by selecting accessible venues, including directions. If overnight stays are involved, suggest hotels nearest the meeting venue that are the most

environmentally friendly (www.greenhotels.com). Consider moving the meeting to the hotel if majority of participants are staying at the same hotel, reducing the need for transportation to and from the hotel.

AuAP-7

Rahm Emanuel Mayor


November 5, 2012


If the meeting is all day or multiple days in a row, how can it be catered in an environmentally friendly way? Serve drinks from pitchers, reusable utensils and dishes, and request local produce to cut

down on waste when catering for large groups. Plan for the pick-up and compost or donation of leftover food to reduce waste. What if the meeting is held annually? Plan for annual meetings at times of the year when temperatures are less extreme to reduce

energy consumption due to the use of air conditioning/heat. Additional details if conducting off-site meetings, such as a conference or workshop…

Ensure that off-site meeting locations accommodate opportunities for recycling. Recycle newspapers, cans, and glass, including those from your guest room, in marked

containers in the conference area. Participate in the hotel's water, energy, and detergent conservation efforts by following

the instructions posted in your room. Note the conference's efforts to reduce the use of paper by limiting conference handouts

at registration, using folders or handouts printed on high post-consumer recycled content paper, using vegetable-based ink, and encouraging presenters to limit handouts.

Thank the hotel or off-site location host for providing recycling opportunities, reusable utensils and dishes for breaks, etc.

When the conference/meeting/workshop is over…

Collect reusable business card holders/name tags in a bin after last meeting. Collect presentation materials that are not needed by the attendees that can be donated

to local schools, reused or recycled. Have attendees fill out an online survey allowing for feedback about the meeting and

vendors for future reference and improvement. Follow up after the meeting with participants to share green success stories and

lessons-learned including statistics from the meeting, such as quantities of recycled materials. Also include a summary document that provides details of the green meeting.

AP.2 Prerequisite 2 – Document Reduction and Recycling Initiative (DRRI)

Required

INTENT

Reduce the volume of paper and facilitate the recycling of documents. REQUIREMENTS Follow the Document Reduction and Recycling Initiative (DRRI), which has the following main objectives:

1. Identify and issue only essential paper copies. 2. Promote the use of centralized review rooms for documents and drawings.

3. Provide a simple, yet effective means for recycling documents.

SUBMITTALS None TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY Identify and Issue Only Essential Paper Copies (Goal: Minimize Quantities) Start by producing only electronic copies. Use electronic distribution media for all documents whenever possible, such as; FTP sites, websites, emails, CDs, digital document libraries, memory sticks, etc. To ensure that only essential paper copies are prepared, there are four (4) questions that need to be asked of each recipient insisting on paper copies:

1. Have you historically performed or do you intend to perform a full review of the applicable document?

2. Does your review require you to look at the entire document/set of plans or only specific sections?

3. Could you conduct your review of the document/plan set and/or the specifications from a digital version?

4. Would you consider reviewing the documents in a designated review room? If it is ultimately determined that paper copies are necessary, follow guidance provided in SAM Credit AP.1 Prerequisite 1 – Green Meetings.

AuAP-10

November 5, 2012


Centralized Review Rooms (Goal: Centralize Work Function & Minimize Waste)

The DRRI acknowledges that for reviewers to provide a comprehensive review of any design, a complete set of plans must be provided.

A centralized review room should be in a relatively quiet location accessible to all employees needing to review the materials.

Review the use of centralized review rooms periodically to determine use and find ways to promote additional usage by reviewers.

Document Disposal and Recycling (Goal: Minimize Waste, Support Recycling)

The DRRI encourages the recycling of obsolete paper. Documents/plan sets having sensitive information must be safely and securely recycled. The ideas provided below will assist in recycling of documents:

Ask reviewers to return obsolete documents to the centralized review room.

Setup a notification informing reviewers to return obsolete documents to the nearest recycling location.

Add reminders to documents, such as “Return obsolete documents when review concludes” to closeout checklists.

CASE STUDY Resource Conservation San Francisco International Airport – San Francisco, California

As part of its zero-waste program, SFO has implemented several solid waste reduction measures, including the resource conservation program. The goal of this program is to “educate, encourage and persuade the Airport staff, tenants, and the general public to generate less waste in the course of their daily activities at or travel through the Airport.” The program includes the following:

Paper use reduction. SFO has allocated paper use to each Airport Division at 80 percent of the previous year’s consumption, requiring submittal of a special request if the allocation is prematurely exhausted.

Double sided printing and copying. All SFO printers and copiers have been programmed to produce double sided prints or copies. Educational signage is also posted at all copying machines to enhance the message.

Electronic document transfer. SFO encourages all staff to transmit documents electronically.

AP.3 Corporate Sustainability Policy

1 Point – Required for CT-OM Mentor Certification

INTENT

In keeping with the spirit and intent of this Manual, it is strongly encouraged that companies working in support of CDA on any project establish and adopt their own corporate policy on sustainable practices.

REQUIREMENTS

Establish and adopt a Corporate Sustainability Policy.

SUBMITTALS

Provide an electronic copy of the company’s Corporate Sustainability Policy.

NOTE: If available, please provide an electronic copy of your annual sustainability report documenting any new measures and results.

CASE STUDY Sustainability: Essential to Our Business Coca-Cola

In 2007, the Coca-Cola Company created LIVE POSITIVELY to bring structure and visibility to existing sustainability programs within the company and the Coca-Cola system, as well as to form a program that associates can engage with and use to further understand the company’s sustainability commitment. LIVE POSITIVELY provides a framework to help Coca-Cola consider sustainability as part of everything they do.

The LIVE POSITIVELY sustainability framework was created on the foundation of the company’s commitment to making a positive difference in the world, and it is embedded within the entire business at every level. The LIVE POSITIVELY framework consists of seven core areas key to our business sustainability: Beverage Benefits; Active Healthy Living; Community; Energy Efficiency and Climate Protection; Sustainable Packaging; Water Stewardship; and Workplace. The Coca-Cola system has defined principles for each of the core areas and has set goals for each. In addition to these goals, some of their bottling partners have set their own goals in the core areas and report on their individual business progress in their sustainability reports.

Reduce the environmental impact of products and services by developing a Green Purchasing Program. REQUIREMENTS

Refer to SAM Appendix AP-A – Green Product Listing for products and their minimum required content levels. Points for this credit will be awarded based on the number of green products, as defined in Appendix AP-A, procured for general day-to-day office use. The party completing the checklist should only count green products procured for the local office, as opposed to a global level policy. Points are awarded as follows*:

Number of Green Products Procured Points 1-2 1 3-5 2

6-11 3 12+ 4

* Green products not listed in SAM Appendix AP-A must be approved by the SRP in order to receive

points. AND Use a company developed Procurement Policy that finds and evaluates green products prior to purchasing products and services.

SUBMITTALS

Include descriptive narrative in the SAM Checklist of items purchased and used.

NOTE: If available, please provide an electronic copy of your green procurement policy.

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Introduce environmentally conscious purchasing into company practices. The policy needs to clearly define an objective and establish a sustainability claims verification procedure that can be replicated as necessary. Verification procedures may rely on product certifications such as Green Seal and ENERGY STAR. Evaluate the items that are purchased, identify more environmentally friendly alternatives, and establish a policy to purchase these alternatives when economically feasible. Work with suppliers to identify sustainable products that meet the company’s needs.

AP.5 Recycled Content Paper

1 to 3 points

INTENT

Reduce the need for virgin materials, energy, and waste associated with the production of paper by promoting the use of recycled content paper. REQUIREMENTS

Purchase and utilize print/copy paper that is chlorine-bleach free.

AND

For all office paper purchased for routine daily business administration and operations, point values will be assigned based on the recycled content of the paper. Up to 3 points are available by using paper with the following attributes:

SAM Credit Post-consumer recycled content Points

AP.5.1 30% 1

AP.5.2 50% 2

AP.5.3 100% 3

Calculate post-consumer recycled content of office paper using a weighted average based on estimated usage. If the paper is chlorine-bleached, for the purposes of the calculation, it shall be assumed that the post-consumer recycled content is 0% regardless of what it actually is. Example: An office uses 50 boxes of chlorine-free paper with a post-consumer recycled content of 30%, 50 boxes of chlorine-free paper with a post-consumer recycled content of 90%, and 20 boxes of chlorine-bleached paper with a post-consumer recycled content of 100%. The weighted average of all the paper used is 50% and therefore 2 points would be awarded for this credit. Note that the 20 boxes of chlorine-bleached paper are assumed to have 0% recycled content for the purposes of the calculation.

(50/120)(30%) + (50/120)(90%) + (20/120)(0%) = 50% recycled content SUBMITTALS

Include descriptive narrative on the SAM Checklist.

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

The purchase and use of recycled paper assists in closing the recycling loop by utilizing paper that is made from recovered waste paper.

INTRODUCTION

The Sustainable Airport Manual (SAM) Planning Chapter is intended to address the conceptual planning of the airport’s physical environment to facilitate implementation of design, construction, and/or operation and maintenance in a sustainable manner. The Planning chapter also addresses operational guidance documents that outline procedures for the airport’s compliance with federal, state, and local standards, codes, and mandates, as well as daily operational best management practices. Planning is an ongoing pursuit that establishes qualitative and quantitative goals for all projects of all sizes and scopes at the earliest stage based on stakeholder input, collaboration and commitment.

Planning begins at the earliest stages of a project and thereby becomes part of the sustainable fabric and vision that influences later stages of design, construction, and operation for all projects, large and small. With the integration of sustainability into every aspect of airport functions, the consideration of sustainability will become more routine. Moreover, the inclusion of sustainability considerations at the planning stage will result in greater benefits and lower costs than the addition of sustainability features at a later date. Understanding the needs and limitations of airport stakeholders and system conditions is also an important part of planning in order to achieve long term effectiveness.

The Planning chapter outlines a broad integrated approach, customizable to organizational and system conditions and shaped by input from stakeholders. Once system conditions (and options) are defined and understood, the airport can then look to one or more sustainability strategies for inspiration and development of specific goals. The Chapter provides guidance and support in developing, maintaining, or increasing the performance of sustainable initiatives within the overall framework of each airport planning project. It considers sustainable design concepts throughout the planning of airport development projects and programs from inception, thereby increasing the ability of each project to meet and to hopefully exceed various initiatives based on each airport’s optimal conditions.

The approach to sustainability planning outlined in this chapter strives to collectively elevate everyday planning to proactively address environmental issues beyond minimum standards and embrace sustainability as an important achievement. Many airports often struggle with the daily reality of their economic and social concerns, like balancing limited budgets or satisfying customer demands, where sustainability opportunities can be overlooked. Through this process, all of the required elements of the standard planning process can be achieved, while embracing sustainable practices that can potentially reduce the environmental impact of the built environment while at the same time creating financial and operational benefits for a project, and social benefits for the community at large.

The sustainable planning path outlined here will help to define the airport’s sustainability goals and objectives for each project based on system conditions and unique situations. From there, the key stakeholders collectively develop the project’s “Sustainability Schematic,” which is an overall plan outlining the measurable sustainability targets and goals for the project that, when finalized, will become part of the official plan for the project, such as a Project Definition Document (PDD) and/or Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Application, or other applicable planning documentation.

APPLICABILITY

All projects begin with the development of a plan. That plan may be a major program, such as an airport master plan, or it may be a relatively small improvement, such as the addition of a new jet bridge or an update to an airport’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Just like cost estimates and schedules, sustainability considerations and goals need to be integrated into the planning process for all projects, regardless of size and scope. Integration of sustainability considerations into the planning process sets the groundwork for inclusion of sustainability features as a project proceeds through the design, implementation, and operational stages.

Planning projects that would be applicable to this SAM Planning Chapter include, but are not limited to the following:

Master Plan

Maintenance Plan

Utilities Plan

Operations Plan

Construction Plan

Deconstruction Plan

Asset Maximization Plan

Facilities Plan

Existing Facility Optimization Plan

Terminal Renewal/Improvement Plan

Facility Re-Use Analysis

Land Use Plan

Noise Compatibility Plan

Regulatory/Code Requirements

o Title V Permit Application or Update

o Air Quality State Implementation Plan (SIP) Update

o NPDES Permit Application or Update

o Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) Update

o USACE 404 Permit Application

Other Projects or Strategic Initiatives

o Demand Driven Projects

o Customer Service Projects

o Revenue Opportunities

PROCESS

The process of sustainable airport planning as described in this SAM Planning Chapter involves the creation of an overall plan outlining the measurable sustainability targets and goals for the project that, when finalized, will become part of the official plan for that project, function, or activity. This is to be accomplished primarily through the development of a “Sustainability Schematic.” The sustainable airport planning process can be summarized by reviewing an outline of the credits included in the Chapter:

1. Define Sustainability Vision Statement (SAM Credit PL.1 Prerequisite 1)

2. Determine Key Stakeholders and hold Initial Project Meeting to Discuss Sustainability Goals (SAM Credit PL.2 Prerequisite 2)

3. Sustainability Baseline Assessment and Cost/Benefit Analysis (SAM Credit PL.3 Prerequisite 3) Requires the completion of a preliminary sustainability baseline assessment and the completion of a preliminary cost/benefit analysis for all project alternatives, including the no-project alternative. The cost/benefit analysis enables a comparison of initial versus longer term operational and maintenance costs, while also considering the potential environmental and social impacts that may occur as a result of the project.

4. Develop a Draft Sustainability Schematic (SAM Credit PL.4 Prerequisite 4) Requires the development of a Sustainability Schematic which outlines the steps for sustainability considerations in planning any project or activity, and addresses the following major considerations:

a. Identify and establish sustainability objectives, target goals, and minimum thresholds b. Identify sources of funding c. Provide for and conduct education and public outreach initiatives d. Plan for the integration of SAM guidelines into the specific project elements, as

appropriate to the size and scope of each project e. Plan for sustainable operation and maintenance of completed projects/programs/facilities f. Establish plan to close the feedback loop

5. Project Meeting to Finalize Sustainability Schematic (SAM Credit PL.5 Prerequisite 5)

6. Close the Feedback Loop at Project Completion (SAM Credit PL.6 Prerequisite 6)

Within the Chapter’s main body, each sustainable planning “Credit” has five subsections: Intent, Requirements, Submittals, Technology/Strategy, and Case Studies, as described below:


Requirements: Specifies institutional, operational, and functional elements that satisfy the intent. The prerequisites must be achieved; other credits are optional, but contribute to the overall sustainable planning process for the project.

Submittals: Required and supporting documentation and/or information required to achieve applicable prerequisites or credits. This documentation indicates how the requirements are being met.

Technology/Strategy: Highlights specific ways of meeting the recommendations within the scope of each specific credit. Case studies where available, are presented to help guide the application of sustainable credits to planning projects and efforts.


While not all strategies will be applicable to every project, planners are highly encouraged to think creatively and to consider the intent of each issue throughout the decision process. In all cases, it is the responsibility of the planning team to evaluate and review with the appropriate CDA managers any anticipated cost or schedule impact.

PL.2 Prerequisite 2 – Determine Key Stakeholders and Hold Initial Project Meeting to Discuss Sustainability Goals

Required

INTENT

Determine key stakeholders for the planning project and hold an Initial Project Meeting to discuss project sustainability goals. The meeting with key stakeholders will provide a forum for discussion regarding the overall sustainability goals for the project as initially defined in the Sustainability Vision Statement for the project, while capturing innovative ideas and concepts, and resolving any potential conflicts. As a result of the meeting, it is anticipated that the method and required inputs for the cost/benefit analysis will be determined (see SAM Credit PL.3 Prerequisite 3 – Sustainability Baseline Assessment and Cost/Benefit Analysis), as well as the necessary environmental approvals, permitting requirements, and any other additional approvals that would be needed as part of the project. All of this information will factor into the development of the project’s Sustainability Schematic as described in SAM Credit PL.4 Prerequisite 4 – Develop a Sustainability Schematic. In addition, as a result of this meeting, the project vision statement (SAM Credit PL.1 Prerequisite 1 – Define Sustainability Vision Statement) may require modification pursuant to the sustainability targets and goals identified for the project.

REQUIREMENTS

Early in the project, hold an initial project meeting with CDA Project Manager, SRP, and all additional key stakeholders involved in planning, design, construction, and daily operation/maintenance, as well as local sustainability leaders, community leaders, schools, and businesses that could potentially be affected by the end result of the overall project effort. Each project is unique and therefore, each stakeholder group will have a unique composition. The intent is to include members who may have an interest in the outcome of the project. Enable members to utilize conference calls, net-meetings, webinars, etc. when unable to attend in person. The purpose of the meeting with key stakeholders is to determine the overall sustainability goals for the project, capture innovative ideas and concepts, resolve any potential conflicts (to the greatest extent possible), determine the method and required inputs for cost/benefit analysis, and to determine the necessary environmental approvals, permitting requirements, and any other additional approvals that would be needed as part of the project.

CASE STUDY

Sustainable Master Plan Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport – Ithaca, New York

Ithaca Airport has designed its latest master plan update with sustainability in mind. The Federal Aviation Administration agreed to fund this sustainable master plan as the first in the U.S. The project was the first to integrate sustainability directly into the entire master planning process, instead of having a stand-alone sustainability plan. This approach was chosen so that there would be consistency and alignment between projects and policies arising from the traditional aspects of a master plan as well as the sustainability considerations.

Significant changes to a traditional master plan included performing baseline assessments of 12 sustainability categories and developing goals and targets for improvement. Because the most sustainable projects are the ones that are never built, the project team looked to meet identified facility needs by maximizing existing infrastructure instead of immediately resorting to new construction. When new construction was deemed necessary, policies were put in place to ensure projects are built as sustainably as possible.

The project commenced with an advisory committee kickoff meeting in September 2009 and progressed through the phases of the project with frequent input from committee members.

A concerted effort was made to increase the diversity of viewpoints on the advisory committee beyond the traditional makeup.

The project team reached out to leaders of local sustainability not-for-profits as well as academic experts from nearby Cornell University and Ithaca College. Public outreach efforts also included a project website with downloadable documents and project updates, online passengers, business, and pilot surveys, and involvement with students at both local universities. Copies of the report are available at: www.flyithaca.com

PL.3 Prerequisite 3 – Sustainability Baseline Assessment and Cost/Benefit Analysis

Required

INTENT

Perform a preliminary sustainability baseline assessment to represent the no-project alternative for comparison purposes. Perform a preliminary cost/benefit analysis for all project alternatives, including the no-project alternative, in order to compare life cycle costs with the range of potential environmental and social impacts as a result of the project, in order to be able to select the alternative that is the most desirable as measured by the appropriate balance of environmental, social, and financial impacts of the project.

REQUIREMENTS

Complete a preliminary sustainability baseline assessment to represent the no-project alternative. The sustainability baseline assessment could include the following, at a minimum, as appropriate to the size and scope of the project; with the level of analysis within each appropriately tailored to the size and scope of the project:

Emissions inventory Greenhouse gas inventory Electrical usage Water usage Stormwater discharges Waste disposal volumes and destinations Recycling programs Indoor environmental quality Cleaning and maintenance programs

Because every project is different, the specific methods of conducting the analysis are not specified here, but left open for definition and refinement based on the nature of the project. The end result of the analysis is intended to inform decisions on the manner in which the project will or will not proceed, particularly relative to sustainability measures. Some examples of considerations that may be helpful to inform the decision making process may include, but are not limited to the following:

Comparison of initial project costs with and without sustainability initiatives Comparison of longer-term costs for operation and maintenance, with and without

sustainability initiatives (i.e., utilities, staffing, cleaning, replacing) Any other associated cost benefit received not in O&M (i.e., less fees paid, reduced

permitting costs) Anticipated environmental benefits to be realized Consideration of applicable grant incentives, rebates and tax credits that may be

available

Using a method, model and/or software deemed appropriate by the key stakeholders and project planning team, perform a preliminary cost/benefit analysis of all project alternatives, including the no-project alternative.

As part of this assessment, it is required to research and identify the potential sources of funding for the project. In addition to airport fund sources, there are many opportunities for grants, rebates, tax incentives and credits available from Federal, State and private sources. For example, www.dsireusa.org/ is a comprehensive source of information on state, local, utility and federal incentives and policies that promote renewable energy and energy efficiency. eCivis® Grants Network™ (www.ecivis.com/) provides grants management software for accurate grants information, reporting, and management used by governments and community organizations.

PL.4 Prerequisite 4 – Develop a Sustainability Schematic

Required

INTENT

Integrate sustainability into the earliest possible stage of a project. By using a sustainability schematic, the CDA can utilize or organize various internal and external processes to work together toward the same goal of sustainability. A process or processes may be applicable to different organizations at different times for different projects, but when used within a sustainability schematic, synergies are more easily identified and realized. When finalized, the Sustainability Schematic will become part of the official plan for the project, such as the Project Definition Document (PDD) and/or Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Application, or other planning parameter documentation depending on the type of project.

REQUIREMENTS

For all projects, develop a sustainability schematic that addresses the following major principles:

I. Identify and establish sustainability objectives, target goals, and minimum thresholds a. Project Alternatives (including no-project) and innovations a. Procedures and incentives for Stakeholder involvement b. Sustainability baseline assessment results c. Cost/Benefit Analysis results for each project alternative (including the no-project

PL.6 Prerequisite 6 – Close the Feedback Loop at Project Completion

Required

INTENT

Due to the dynamic nature of the aviation industry, airport projects lend themselves to continual planning and renewal. The intent of this Prerequisite is to effectively close the feedback loop at project completion in order to determine if key performance indicators, targets, and goals were met as planned, exceeded plan, or were under plan, and the reasons why or why not. This “lessons learned” information can then be compiled and used as valuable background information on future projects. This information can also be used to inform similar project analyses, and enhance and improve the SAM Planning Chapter.

REQUIREMENTS

Examples of the types of information, analyses and comparisons suggested to review as part of the informative process for closing the feedback loop are included in Section VI. Feedback Loop of the Sustainability Schematic described in PL.4 Prerequisite 4 – Develop a Draft Sustainability Schematic.

Create a plan for as many of the key stakeholders as possible to meet upon final project completion, or at a point when the information outlined in the Sustainability Schematic (see Prerequisite 5 – Project Meeting to Finalize Sustainability Schematic) can be reasonably evaluated and measured with actual data. The purpose of the meeting will be to close the feedback loop by determining whether key performance indicators, targets, and goals were met as planned, exceeded plan, or were under plan, and the reasons why or why not. This “lessons learned” information can then be compiled and used as valuable background information on future projects, and ultimately to improve the overall process.

SUBMITTALS

INTRODUCTION

After the planning process, projects that move forward will then enter the design and (usually) the construction phase. This chapter continues the process of incorporating sustainability into major renovations and construction projects. At this point, the details of what is being built are beginning to take shape. By integrating sustainable design elements into the design process as early as possible, it is expected that the effectiveness of enhancing a project’s sustainability is maximized while costs due to design and construction changes are minimized. Although sustainable guidance and rating systems for buildings (vertical construction) are prevalent, the civil/infrastructure environment (horizontal construction) guidance is less common. The Design & Construction (D&C) Chapter of the Sustainable Airport Manual (SAM) joins these elements, civil/infrastructure and buildings, and applies them within the realm of an airport environment.

Implementation of sustainable design elements can reduce operational costs and increase occupant productivity. The on-site recycling and reuse of construction waste and materials, for example, reduces transportation cost and the use of regionally-obtainable materials benefits the local economy and reduces life-cycle emissions of those materials. Regardless of the scale and scope of a project, it is anticipated that with the appropriate level of investment in these sustainable elements, all parties including owners, occupants, contractors, and the general public can benefit environmentally and economically. In many cases, there is little or no impact on the project budget or schedule in the implementation of these sustainable elements.

The Design and Construction Chapter of the Sustainable Airport Manual (SAM) has been written with consideration of four general project categories that are relevant to airport design and construction projects. These project categories are defined below:

Civil – Airside: Projects located inside of the Air Operations Area (AOA) that do not include normally occupied structures and consist mainly of horizontal structures such as subsurface utilities, earthwork, pavement, roadways, bridges, tunnels, and water conveyances. Projects may include but are not limited to runways, taxiways and shoulders, airside roads and perimeter roads, stormwater conveyance systems, stormwater detention facilities, electrical lighting systems, navigational aids, airport utility systems, vehicle parking facilities, and fencing.

Civil – Landside: Projects located outside of the AOA that do not include normally occupied structures and consist mainly of horizontal structures such as subsurface utilities, earthwork, pavement, roadways, bridges, tunnels, and water conveyances. Projects may include but are not limited to guard post relocation, roads, tunnels and bridges, perimeter roads, stormwater conveyance systems, stormwater detention facilities, creek relocations, electrical lighting systems, airport utility systems, vehicle parking facilities and fencing, and railroad relocation.

DC-4

November 5, 2012

Occupied Buildings: Projects consisting of facilities and associated surroundings that, when construction is complete, will be normally occupied by employees and passengers. These facilities may include but are not limited to terminals, concourses, access guard posts, airport communications building, air rescue and fire fighting facilities, cargo facilities, and air traffic control towers.

Unoccupied Buildings: Projects consisting of facilities and associated surroundings that, when construction is complete, will be unoccupied. These may include but are not limited to pump stations, lighting vaults, and fuel stations.

APPLICABILITY

SAM Design & Construction (DC) certification encourages airport designers and contractors to implement sustainable practices to reduce the environmental impacts of, not only the design features of a given project, but also construction activities, and the operational aspects of the building or infrastructure project. Specifically, the rating system addresses site issues, water and energy usage, materials and resources used for building the project, waste management, and indoor/outdoor environmental quality.

The SAM DC chapter is applicable to all non-terminal construction activities that require design services. In addition, any major renovations defined as major HVAC rehabilitation, envelope modifications, or significant interior remodeling requiring design services will also be included within this chapter. It is intended that the designers and contractors of these types of projects will be evaluated through this process.

DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION SECTIONS

Projects are rated on the achievement of credits depending on the appropriate stage of the project, based on sustainable elements included in the project from the following categories:

AP Administrative Procedures 1.0 Sustainable Site Management 2.0 Water Efficiency 3.0 Energy & Atmosphere 4.0 Materials & Resources 5.0 Indoor Environmental Quality 6.0 Construction Practices 7.0 Innovation in Design & Construction 8.0 Regional Priority

Each category contains a specific number of credits, against which each project is evaluated in order to determine that project’s earned points. The number of points earned is then translated into a rating. There are specific weighted point thresholds (i.e. applicable credits) for each of the four project categories – civil-airside, civil-landside, occupied buildings, and unoccupied buildings, so as not to inadvertently penalize a project for not achieving points that would not be applicable. The list of credits and point thresholds applicable to each project type are summarized in Appendix DC-A – Sustainable Airport Manual Green Airplane Rating System.

DC-5

Rahm Emanuel Mayor



November 5, 2012

PROCESS

Within the Manual’s main body, each sustainable design credit has five subsections: Intent, Requirements, Submittals, Technology/Strategy, and Case Studies, as described below:


Requirements: Specifies institutional, operational, and mechanical design or construction elements that satisfy the intent. The prerequisites must be achieved; the credits are optional, but contribute to the overall project rating.

Submittals: Required and supporting documentation and/or information required to achieve applicable prerequisites or credits. This documentation may include calculations, data, short narratives, policies, documents or references to specification sections or design drawings indicating how the requirements are being met.

Technology/Strategy: Highlights specific ways of meeting the recommendations within the scope for each specific credit. Case studies where available, are presented to help guide the application of sustainable credits to design and construction projects. To aid with consideration of applicable strategies and technologies, they are organized into the following three categories; “Standard Practice,” “Recommended Practice,” and “Best Available Practice.”

o Standard Practice: These are requirements that may be due to standards, specifications, codes, general best management or construction practices. They are practices already in place, and in many cases SAM prerequisites, which also serve to meet sustainable goals.

o Recommended Practice: These include recommendations that are expected to have insignificant impacts to cost and are therefore, encouraged to be incorporated into the design process.

o Best Available Practice: These are strategies and practices that are expected to enhance the environmental design efforts of the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA), but are anticipated to potentially have an impact on the cost and/or schedule. A simple cost benefit analysis can be conducted to determine the practicality of implementation.

While not all strategies will be applicable to every project category, design and construction teams are highly encouraged to think creatively and to consider the intent of each issue throughout the decision process. In all cases, it is the responsibility of the design and construction teams to evaluate and review with the Chicago Department of Aviation any anticipated cost or schedule impact.

SUBMITTALS

Sustainable Airport Manual (SAM) Design & Construction Checklists

Incorporation of sustainable elements into the design and construction of a project is tracked using a checklist in order to determine the number of applicable credits described in this Manual. The SAM Design Checklist is completed by the designer. It is then used by the contractor/CM to develop the SAM Construction Checklist. The purpose of the SAM Design Checklist is to indicate proposed sustainable design elements during the design phase, while the purpose of the SAM Construction Checklist is to allow verification and finalization of actual data related to the project’s construction phase. The checklists are provided in Appendix DC-B – Design & Construction Checklists.

NOTE

All design teams must have a LEED Accredited Professional. Their responsibility is to complete or oversee the completion of the SAM Design and Construction Checklists and

their implementation.

In order to achieve points certain requirements need to be met, as outlined in each credit. At periodic review meetings throughout the design process, the design team must demonstrate how and to what extent these credits will be achieved. The means by which this is demonstrated will vary. In some instances, studies and calculations would be appropriate. In other instances, this will be accomplished through product and material data or through referenced standards or specifications.

For some credits, the responsibility to meet the intent of the credit will be primarily the contractor’s responsibility. In these cases, specifications are developed by the designer to clearly detail the execution and submittal requirements the contractor must follow. In addition to review of the checklist, the Sustainable Review Panel (SRP) will review any supporting documentation including calculations, specifications, and contractor’s submittals as needed to support the achievement of the credit(s). See Section titled Implementation and Review Process for detailed information about the SRP.

The SAM and its supporting documentation are administered by the Sustainable Review Panel (SRP), which currently consists of representatives of the CDA Management Staff, CDA Design and Construction Staff and Representatives, OMP Project Management Office (PMO) and Master Civil Engineer (MCE), and Airport Planners actively involved in CDA projects. The composition of the SRP is intended to be dynamic depending on needs.

The SRP is responsible for the review of project designs with respect to sustainable design and provides technical support to the Construction Manager (CM) of each project in relation to sustainable practices appropriate for the construction phase. The SRP is responsible for review of every design and construction project and for the awarding of “Green Airplane Certification” ratings based on the extent of incorporation of sustainable practices as outlined in this Manual and as documented on the submitted SAM Checklist(s). Other responsibilities of the SRP

include preparation and review of sustainable design related specifications, technical memoranda, and miscellaneous documents, as necessary. In addition, the SRP is responsible for presentations and training to project team members with respect to the application of this Manual. The primary tasks of the SRP are to oversee the application of the Manual and review design and construction submittals for their compliance with the Manual. The review process is outlined in Figure 1.

Just as any airport can easily customize the Chicago-specific guidance elements within the SAM, the composition of a SRP can also be tailored to an airport’s unique needs.

Design Phase

Current Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for design services include language indicating that requirements of this Manual must be incorporated as part of the design process for all projects. The designer is to incorporate language regarding all supporting specifications and requirements in the Contract Documents consistent with the requirements described in this Manual. After a project is awarded to a Design Team, SRP representatives will meet with the designers during the kick-off meeting to outline the project goals for sustainability. Contract documents require that each design team include at least one LEED Accredited Professional. It is encouraged that the LEED Accredited Professional be present at all sustainability-related meetings, including the project kick-off meeting. The SAM Design Checklist is discussed in detail at the kick-off meeting, as it is one of the primary deliverables from the Design Team, as well as the supporting documents and specifications that must accompany the submittal. At this meeting, the designer is given an electronic copy of the Manual and electronic copies of all relevant specifications, checklists, calculations spreadsheets, and templates, including instructions for completion of each form. Certain credits pertain to specifications and standards that are included in every contract (e.g. 01111 – Construction Air Quality or 01524 – Waste Management). In most cases, the specification indicates the submittal requirements. The credit descriptions in this Manual describe the submittal requirements that must be satisfied in order to meet the credit.

As part of the standard design review process, the SAM Design Checklist and supporting documents are reviewed at each milestone (typically 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% design submittals) against the goals set forth by the Manual. Review comments on the Checklist are submitted along with the design-related review comments.

At the 100% design milestone, the SRP will meet to discuss the project’s Checklist and collectively determine any final comments for the Design Team before completion. When the 100% design documents have been completed, the SRP meets again to determine and award the Green Airplane Certification for Sustainable Design (i.e. the number of Green Airplanes to be awarded to the project design).

Construction Phase

The Manual is referenced in the General Conditions of the project’s Contract Documents. The contractor is obligated to meet all the requirements of the Manual and the supporting specifications and submittals. Compliance with these requirements is verified by the Construction Manager (CM) prior to project closeout. This is verified by the Sustainable Design Compliance section of the project’s Closeout Log. As the project continues through Bid Issue and then Construction phase, the SRP will meet with the CM and contractor at the pre-construction meeting to discuss the process and the deliverables with emphasis on what is required by the contractor and the CM. At this time, additional opportunities and goals are identified for the construction phase and the contractor and CM are encouraged to raise awareness of sustainable design and construction issues with the remaining staff. The SRP works with the CM as the main point of contact. The CM is required to obtain the required documentation from the Contractor, although in some cases information may be received directly from the Contractor (e.g., the fuel usage logs).

For the construction phase, some up-front submittals are required, e.g. Construction Waste Plan, preconstruction estimates on regional and recycled material quantities that are reviewed at the beginning of the project. Fuel usage is tracked monthly throughout the project’s duration. The SAM Construction Checklist is reviewed and finalized when the project reaches substantial completion.

After substantial completion, the SRP will determine whether all items proposed in the Design Checklist were completed and are reflected in the SAM Construction Checklist or discuss/identify variances. At completion, the SRP will determine and award the Green Airplane Certification for Sustainable Construction.

Commissioning

Whenever applicable, project commissioning is encouraged. Commissioning can provide long-term benefits for the project/building owner, as well as its users and occupants. Commissioning is covered in the Energy & Atmosphere section.

2.5.1 Stormwater Design: Quantity Control

1 Point

INTENT

Limit disruption of natural water hydrology by reducing impervious cover, increasing on-site infiltration, reducing or eliminating pollution from stormwater runoff, and eliminating contaminants.

REQUIREMENTS

CASE 1 — EXISTING IMPERVIOUSNESS IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 50% Implement a stormwater management plan that prevents the post-development peak discharge rate and quantity from exceeding the pre-development peak discharge rate and quantity for the one- and two-year, 24-hour design storms.

OR

Implement a stormwater management plan that protects receiving stream channels from excessive erosion by implementing a stream channel protection strategy and quantity control strategies.

OR

CASE 2 — EXISTING IMPERVIOUSNESS IS GREATER THAN 50% Implement a stormwater management plan that results in a 25% decrease in the volume of stormwater runoff from the two-year, 24-hour design storm.

SUBMITTALS

Include descriptive narrative and calculations in SAM Checklist.

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Design the project site to maintain natural stormwater flows by promoting infiltration. Specify vegetated roofs, pervious paving, and other measures to minimize impervious surfaces. Reuse stormwater volumes generated for non-potable uses such as landscape irrigation, toilet and urinal flushing and custodial uses.

DC-27

Rahm Emanuel Mayor



November 5, 2012

Standard Practice

Because many airside pavements have the potential for deicing fluid and jet fuel contamination, technologies that increase infiltration to the subsurface are not used. On landside projects, or for areas not subject to aviation-related contaminants, these methods are encouraged. A number of green vegetated roofs have already contributed toward this goal.


Evaluate pervious pavements for roadways, shoulders, non-traffic pavements, maintenance roads, utility yards, airside and landside parking facilities, and pedestrian areas. Peak storm water runoff rates could be reduced. Storm sewer conveyance systems could be designed with reduced diameter pipes and fewer inlets.

Install landscape to reduce runoff (See SAM Credit 3.3 Water Efficient Landscaping) Evaluate curb breaks and drainage ditches, and/or bioswales.


Encourage installation of systems that are flexible to allow use of graywater Use of “extensive” green roof systems encourages filtration and treatment of

rainwater, evaporation of rainfall to the atmosphere and storm water retention. Use plantings consistent with CDA/OMP Specification 02905 – Sustainable Airport Landscaping. For any proposed plant species not listed, consult an FAA certified airport biologist to ensure the plants will not attract wildlife.

Use rainwater cisterns for landside irrigation during the plant growth season. Storm water runoff from the collection systems would be directed into the cisterns for storage. Collected water would be utilized for irrigation during dry periods. Cisterns would attenuate peak storm water runoff flows to the downstream storm sewer systems. Cisterns improve water quality by the removal of sediments due to the reduced velocities of flow in the system. (Sediment must be periodically removed.)

Encourage extensive use of permeable pavement, where applicable

CASE STUDIES

North Air Traffic Control Tower Chicago O’Hare International Airport - Chicago, Illinois

The proposed site for the new North Air Traffic Control Tower was an existing parking lot with an impervious area of 89 percent. The new development greatly reduced the impervious area of the site to 43 percent. Because the existing site had an impervious area greater than 50 percent, in order to meet the requirement of this credit, the rate and quantity of stormwater runoff needed to be reduced by 25 percent. By reducing the impervious area of the new development by 46 percent or 47,200 square feet, the project met the requirements of this credit.

Terminal Building Cooling System Using Collected Snowfall New Chitose Airport - Hokkaido, Japan

The New Chitose Airport terminal building in Hokkaido, Japan, will utilize a new cooling system by the fiscal year 2010. The transport ministry plans to collect snow during the winter and preserve it to provide 30 percent of the building's cooling needs during the summer. Of the snow collected throughout the winter, approximately 45 percent of the snow is preserved for the summertime through the use of heat-insulating materials. The collected snow would be used to chill the liquid of the building's cooling system. This practice could stave off 2,100 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per annum compared to using the building's existing cooling system.

2.5.2 Stormwater Design: Quality Control

1 Point

INTENT

Limit disruption and pollution of natural water flows by managing stormwater runoff.

REQUIREMENTS

Implement a stormwater management plan that reduces impervious cover, promotes infiltration, and captures and treats the stormwater runoff from 90% of the average annual rainfall using acceptable CDA Best Management Practices (BMPs). BMPs used to treat runoff must be capable of removing 80% of the average annual post development total suspended solids (TSS) load based on existing monitoring reports. BMPs are considered to meet these criteria if (1) they are designed in accordance with standards and specifications from a state or local program that has adopted these performance standards, or (2) there exists in-field performance monitoring data demonstrating compliance with the criteria. Data must conform to accepted protocol (e.g., Technology Acceptance Reciprocity Partnership [TARP], Washington State Department of Ecology) for BMP monitoring.

SUBMITTALS


TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Use alternative surfaces (e.g., vegetated roofs, pervious pavement or grid pavers) and non-structural techniques (e.g., rain gardens, vegetated swales, disconnection of imperviousness, rainwater recycling) to reduce imperviousness and promote infiltration thereby reducing pollutant loadings. Use sustainable design strategies (e.g., Low Impact Development, Environmentally Sensitive Design) to design integrated natural and mechanical treatment systems such as constructed wetlands, vegetated filters, and open channels to treat stormwater runoff.

Standard Practice

Due to the potential for deicing fluid contamination, the use of these technologies must be weighed carefully to prevent larger contaminant issues, such as infiltration of ground water. Just as in SAM Credit 2.5.1 Stormwater Design: Quality Control, this credit is more applicable for landside uses or places that are not subject to aviation-related contaminants although some exceptions may be possible.

Bio-Retention System to Manage and Cleanse Stormwater John Burroughs School - Ladue, Missouri

The bio-retention system is primarily a plant- and soil-based filtration facility for parking lot stormwater runoff. Stormwater runoff flows downhill from the driveway and south parking lot into the highest cell, from which it slowly progresses into two lower cells until finally ending up in the pond. Initially, much of the water passes first through an underground vortex filter that spins under the power of the falling water. The cleaned water is then diverted from the vortex filter into the first bio-retention cell while the debris and impurities removed from the water collect at the bottom of the filter. Once a year, the collected sediment from the bottom of the vortex filter is pumped out for disposal. Water then flows into the three cells of the bio-retention basin, each of which has its own underground water holding chamber as well as above-ground plants and soil. Stands of native grasses and wildflowers in each cell help prevent evapotranspiration by shading the water, enhance soil composition, encourage biological activity, and promote the removal of pollutants before stormwater enters the pond. Another important benefit of the system is the prevention of rapid filling and flushing of the pond.

Rahm Emanuel Mayor



November 5, 2012

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Employ strategies, materials and landscaping techniques that reduce heat absorption of exterior materials. Use shade (calculated on June 21, noon solar time) from native or adapted trees and large shrubs, vegetated trellises or other exterior structures supporting vegetation (consistent with CDA/OMP Specification 02905 – Sustainable Airport Landscaping, and for any proposed plant species not listed, consult an FAA certified airport biologist to ensure the plants will not attract wildlife.) Consider the use of new coatings and integral colorants for asphalt to achieve light-colored surfaces instead of blacktop. Position photovoltaic cells to shade impervious surfaces.

Standard Practice

Unless the reflectance is determined directly through in-situ testing, the following default SRI values are to be used:

Material SRI

New Conventional “gray” concrete 35

Old (weathered) ” gray” concrete 19

New “white” concrete 86

Old (weathered) “white” concrete 45

New Asphalt 0

Old asphalt 6


Maximize light colored/high albedo pavement, such as portland cement concrete, for roadways, parking lots, sidewalks and plaza areas. Reflectance must be a minimum of 0.3. [‘White’ portland cement – 0.7 to 0.8, typical portland cement – 0.35 to 0.5, typical asphalt pavement – 0.05 (new) to 0.15 (over 5 years)].


For Landside projects only, install trees consistent with CDA/OMP Specification Section 02905 – Sustainable Airport Landscaping, and for any proposed plant species not listed, consult an FAA certified airport biologist to ensure the plants will not attract wildlife

A creative combination of the above strategies to reach this goal is encouraged. For example, a task/project can provide 5% shading of dark colored impervious surfaces and 25% light colored/high albedo pavement to achieve this goal.

Standard Practice

White roofs are currently the standard for new construction on airport property. These are acceptable; however, SRI decreases with the age of the roof. Unless a cleaning program is in place, the benefits of white roofs diminish over time. For this reason, along with the benefits of stormwater management, the construction of green roofs is encouraged.


Evaluate and utilize an ENERGY STAR compliant roofing system, such as aluminum coating and light-colored coatings. Thermoplastic and white PVC roofing systems meet these standards.


Install a “green” vegetated roof on all or portions of new and existing buildings

CASE STUDY

Green Roofs Chicago Department of Aviation - Chicago, Illinois

The Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) has made vegetated roofs a priority for any large roof construction at ORD or MDW. Although reducing the heat island effect is the primary goal of this credit, the CDA, with its large expanses of impervious pavement also looks to this technology for its stormwater management aspects. Where vegetated roofs are not used or if there is only partial coverage by a vegetated roof, a high reflectance roofing material in accordance with the requirements of this credit is encouraged to be used where applicable.

As of November 2012, there are a total of 13 vegetated roof projects totaling approximately 341,359 square feet at both airports. The projects include the following:

FedEx Cargo Sort Building (ORD) – 174,442 sq. ft

United Airlines Cargo Building (ORD) – 108,816 sq. ft.

South Airfield Lighting Control Vault (ORD) – 14,200 sq. ft

FedEx World Services Center (ORD) – 10,024 sq. ft

North Air Traffic Control Tower Base Building (ORD) – 8,910 sq. ft

Guard Post 1 Canopy (ORD) – 6,500 sq. ft

Enterprise Rental Car Maintenance Facility (ORD) – 3,627 sq. ft

FedEx Vehicle Maintenance Building (ORD) – 3,170 sp. ft Enterprise Rental Car Facility Customer Service Center (ORD) – 2,847 sq. ft Building #819 – Booster Pump Station (ORD) – 1,287 sq. ft North Air Traffic Control Tower ComEd Building (ORD) – 917 sq. ft

It should be noted that the areas above only include the vegetated roof area. In all cases a highly reflective roof (high SRI value) makes up the balance of the roof area. For example, the UAL Cargo Building has a total roof area of 229,558 sq. ft. of which 47% will is vegetated and the remaining will be a high SRI roof. In comparison, 100% of the Guard Post 1 Canopy is covered by a vegetated roof system.

In all cases, existing and proposed (thus far) vegetated roof systems are extensive, that is low profile (< 6 inches), and plants consist entirely of varieties of Sedum sp. to minimize wildlife attraction.

CASE STUDIES

Recommendations for Maximizing Environmental Performance: Potable Water Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) was billed for over 65 million gallons of water from October 2005 through September 2006. Significant opportunities exist for further reducing the consumption of potable water and the burden imposed on sewer infrastructure and treatment. FLL currently uses low-flow toilets, sinks, and faucets in its restrooms. New technology, however, now exists that would enable FLL to further improve efficiency. According to the analysis conducted, the installation of lower-flow toilets, sinks, and urinals would cost about $234,000 and further reduce potable water consumption by 43 million gallons annually. This reduced water use would save the airport $281,000 annually and provide a payback of investment in ten months. FLL works cooperatively with tenants to reduce consumption by applying best management practices to sub-metered tenants and assessing the viability of overseeing water use through a centralized control monitoring system. An additional 142 million gallons of water was billed to 141 sub-metered airport related users during that same period of time. It appears that the sub-metered users are a combination of food service establishments (there are 27 such tenants in the airport as of October 2006), rental car companies, airlines, Federal Aviation Administration, Broward County Animal Control, Fort Lauderdale Small Boat Club and others.

Waterless Urinals Los Angeles Community College District - Los Angeles, California

The Los Angeles Community College District's (LACCD) has installed 1,224 cartridge-type waterless urinals at all nine of its community colleges. The waterless urinals are designed to benefit the District in three ways:

1. Each urinal will save approximately 40,000 gallons of water per year. Combined, that's a savings of almost 50 million gallons of water a year (enough water to fill 259 Olympic-sized pools);

2. Less water consumption will result in a decrease in water bills;

3. Waterless urinals will eliminate the need to send wastewater to treatment plants, therefore reducing the sewage costs District-wide.

Installation of the new waterless urinals is currently underway, with expected completion in February 2010.

CASE STUDY

Sustainable Airport Landscaping Design Chicago Department of Aviation – Chicago, Illinois

For the Chicago Department of Aviation, the key focus of the landscaping design is that it is aesthetically pleasing and at the same time, low maintenance, ecologically and financially sustainable yet does not compromise airport security and aircraft safety, as defined below:

Minimize Wildlife Hazards – The landscaping criteria are intended to minimize wildlife hazards with particular emphasis on large birds (e.g. waterfowl, gulls, raptors), small mammals that may attract raptors, and small birds that congregate into large flocks (e.g. blackbirds, starlings). In general, landscape that provides food or shelter to these types of birds and small mammals is to be avoided.

Increase Landscape Sustainability – In concert with wildlife management, Airport landscaping must be low-maintenance and environmentally sound. Plants that have little or no maintenance requirements are to be used. Plants that minimize or eliminate fertilization, mowing, pest control, and irrigation are to be used whenever possible. Wherever possible, plants native to the Midwest region of the United States are to be used.

Safety and Security – All Airport safety and security protocols related to the placement of landscape features are adhered to in all cases. This may include sight lines for security-sensitive areas (i.e. guard posts) and the line-of-sight for the air traffic control towers and runway approaches.

Example:

Turf grasses – Low maintenance, drought resistant turf grasses are to be used in place of traditional lawn/turf grass (i.e. Kentucky bluegrass) whenever possible. The list of acceptable turf grasses was based on the following criteria:

Low or Slow Growing – Turf grass species are to grow at a rate that does not require excessive mowing, i.e. more than twice a month during the growing season or no more than six times a year or the mature height of the species does not exceed the recommended mow height.

Drought Tolerant – Turf grass species are to require no additional irrigation except during establishment. The species must be suitable to Chicago’s climate (USDA Zone 5) and precipitation ranges. Kentucky Bluegrass (Poa pratensis) varieties are not acceptable.

Non-Wildlife Attracting – Turf grass species are to be unattractive to wildlife either due to low palatability of the vegetation (e.g. endophyte toxicity) or through low seed production although the latter can be mitigated through mowing. Clover (Trifolium sp.) varieties are not acceptable.

Landside Landscape Uses – Areas where aesthetics will play a larger role such as the terminals, roadway approaches to the airport, landside normally-occupied buildings/facilities, and other areas of high visibility to the public must be designed using low-maintenance plants where possible. Examples of these uses include parking lot islands, roadway medians and/or roadsides, planting beds, large planter containers, building outdoor courtyards or common areas. Some allowances may be made for the use of annuals where appropriate (e.g. hanging planters, small containers, etc.). CDA/OMP Specification 02905 – Sustainable Airport Landscaping, includes a listing of approved plants and trees.

Airside Landscape Uses

Airfield Turf Areas – Areas of the airfield that are within 600’ of any active runway or taxiway are to be planted only with turf grasses. Mowing heights and frequencies are to be strictly enforced within these areas.

Trees – No trees of any kind are to be used anywhere within the AOA (Airside).

Shrubs – The basic landscaping criteria apply for selection of acceptable shrub species. In addition, mass plantings of shrubs or hedge rows are not allowed. Shrubs may be used only as ornamental specimen plants at any normally occupied airside building site or parking lot. Shrubs are not to be placed in open areas of the airfield. Shrubs must be maintained at a height no greater than 6’. Shrubs that mature at a height less than or equal to 6’ are preferable to reduce maintenance.

Green Roofs – Green roof species will typically include Sedum sp. (Stonecrop).

Ornamental Airside Landscaping – Areas where aesthetics are a higher priority, which include terminals, normally-occupied airside buildings/facilities, and the like, should include plants as indicated based on the criteria above, with some exceptions. Examples of these uses include parking lot islands, roadway medians and/or roadsides, planting beds, large planter containers, building outdoor courtyards or common areas.

Water Conservation and Management Programs Los Angeles World Airports – Los Angeles, California

Los Angeles World Airport (LAWA) recognizes that water is a precious resource in Southern California and it must be proactive in its water conservation efforts. LAWA has reduced its water consumption in its everyday operations and continues to find ways to re-use water from local treatment sources. As of 2008, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) used reclaimed water to irrigate 35 percent of its landscaped acres. Each year 40.2 million gallons (123 acre-feet) of water has been conserved through the utilization of reclaimed water. Additionally, the airport’s car wash facilities use recycled water and the landscape irrigation systems are computer controlled. The toilets and sinks have also been converted to low flow fixtures in the terminals and buildings.

Port of Portland Headquarters Portland International Airport – Portland, Oregon

In May 2010, the headquarters at Portland International Airport was unveiled, revealing cutting-edge technologies such as an innovative wastewater treatment and recycling system. The system, Living Machine, cleans wastewater through a series of holding tanks, many of which replicate the ecological processes in natural tidal wetlands. The cells alternatively fill and drain, moving the water through specially treated rocks containing microorganisms and plants. The process is so natural that 10 of the cells will appear to visitors as lush plant gardens. Six are located in the lobby at the first-floor entrance, and four are outside an adjoining wall. Based on the experiences at Living Machines installed in over a dozen other buildings around the world, it’s unlikely that visitors will ever suspect the cells are treating water from the building’s sinks, showers and toilets for reuse in toilets. The facility was recently awarded LEED platinum certification.

Energy systems design, installation and operation Commissioning planning and process management Hands-on field experience with energy systems performance, interaction, start-up,

balancing, testing, troubleshooting, operation, and maintenance procedures Energy systems automation control knowledge

Although the commissioning process should start as early in the design process as possible, it is allowable to engage a CxA agent to execute fundamental commissioning after construction has begun.

Standard Practice

Commissioning Agents are typically engaged to conduct fundamental commissioning for buildings.


Review the design intent and the basis of design documentation Incorporate commissioning requirements into the construction documents Develop and utilize a commissioning plan Verify installation, functional performance, training, operations and maintenance

4.2 Prerequisite 2 – Minimum Energy Performance

Required

INTENT

Establish the minimum level of energy efficiency for the proposed building and civil infrastructure systems to reduce environmental and economic impacts associated with excessive energy use.

REQUIREMENTS

The requirements for this credit will vary based on the type of project: building versus civil.

OPTION 1 — WHOLE BUILDING ENERGY SIMULATION Demonstrate a 10% improvement in the proposed building performance rating for new buildings, or a 5% improvement in the proposed building performance rating for major renovations to existing buildings, compared with the baseline building performance rating. Calculate the baseline building performance rating according to the building performance rating method in Appendix G of ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2010 (with errata but without addenda2) using a computer simulation model for the whole building project.

Appendix G of Standard 90.1-2010 requires that the energy analysis done for the building performance rating method include all energy costs associated with the building project. To achieve points using this credit, the proposed design must meet the following criteria:

Comply with the mandatory provisions (Sections 5.4, 6.4, 7.4, 8.4, 9.4 and 10.4) in Standard 90.1-2010 (with errata but without addenda).

Include all energy costs associated with the building project. Compare against a baseline building that complies with Appendix G of Standard 90.1-

2010 (with errata but without addenda1). The default process energy cost is 25% of the total energy cost for the baseline building. If the building’s process energy cost is less than 25% of the baseline building energy cost, the submittal must include documentation substantiating that process energy inputs are appropriate.

For the purpose of this analysis, process energy is considered to include, but is not limited to: office and general miscellaneous equipment, computers, elevators and escalators, kitchen

If a local code has demonstrated quantitative and textual equivalence following, at a minimum, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) standard process for commercial energy code determination, then the results of that analysis may be used to correlate local code performance with ASHRAE 90.1-2010. Details on the DOE process for commercial energy code determination can be found at: http://www.energycodes.gov/regulations/determinations

Standard Practice

The Chicago Energy Conservation Code (CECC 2008) currently requires that buildings meet the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) with an alternate compliance path of ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1-2004 standard with some exceptions.

Most exterior lighting, especially those used for roadway lighting, include the use of high pressure sodium or metal halide lamps with power ranging from 250W to 400W although pedestrian and alley applications may include lamps as low as 50W to 150 W. Induction lighting is used at the ramp areas and the South Cargo Tunnel.

Pre-Conditioned Air (PCA), 400 Hertz power, hydrant fueling and energy-efficient mobile loading bridges should be included with any new gates or gate retrofits.

4.3 Prerequisite 3 – Fundamental Refrigerant Management

Required

INTENT

Reduce stratospheric ozone depletion.

REQUIREMENTS

Zero use of CFC-based refrigerants in new base building HVAC&R systems. When reusing existing base building HVAC equipment, complete a comprehensive CFC phase-out conversion prior to project completion. Phase-out plans extending beyond the project completion date will be considered on their merits.

SUBMITTALS


TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

When reusing existing HVAC systems, conduct an inventory to identify equipment that uses CFC-based refrigerants and provide a replacement schedule for these refrigerants. For new buildings, specify new HVAC equipment in the base building that uses no CFC refrigerants.

Standard Practice

Only HCFC and HFC refrigerants have been used for CDA projects where refrigerants were required (typically R-410a, which is an HFC)


None


Although HCFCs and HFCs have ozone depletion potentials (ODP) that are nearly zero, consideration should also be given to their global warming potentials (GWP) (see SAM Credit 4.7 Enhanced Refrigerant Management). Alternative refrigerants that minimize ODP and GWP compared to HCFCs and HFCs include natural refrigerants such as carbon dioxide, ammonia, and propane. These compounds have an ODP of zero and GWPs which are three orders of magnitude less than most HCFCs and HFCs.

4.4 Optimize Energy Performance

1 to 19 Points

INTENT

Achieve increasing levels of energy performance beyond the prerequisite standard to reduce environmental and economic impacts associated with excessive energy use.

REQUIREMENTS

The requirements for this credit will vary based on the type of project: building versus civil.

For Occupied and Unoccupied Building projects, the requirements will follow the compliance path options as identified in LEED. There are three compliance options, Options 1 to 3, that apply to buildings as described below. Civil projects will adhere to a compliance path, Option 4, that is similar to Option 1 except that the maximum achievable points will be 6, based on the threshold limits in the table below, or the prescriptive compliance path in Option 5. It is assumed that for any project type or compliance option SAM Credit 4.2 Prerequisite 2 – Minimum Energy Performance has been met.

OPTION 1 – WHOLE BUILDING ENERGY SIMULATION (1 to 19 points) Demonstrate a percentage improvement in the proposed building performance rating compared with the baseline building performance rating. Calculate the baseline building performance according to Appendix G of ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2010 (with errata but without addenda) using a computer simulation model for the whole building project.

* Beyond baseline calculated in SAM Credit 4.2 Prerequisite 2 – Minimum Energy Performance ** Maximum available points for civil projects are 6. The rationale for this is that according to

“2003 Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey” by the Energy Information Administration approximately 30% of overall energy use is due to exterior sources, primarily exterior lighting. Therefore, the SAM makes only 6 of the 19 points available to non-building, i.e. civil projects.

Example: An energy simulation indicated that the proposed energy savings for the new air traffic control tower (new building) was 17% over the ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1-2010 standard. The project would then achieve 3 points under this credit.

Appendix G of ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2010 requires that the energy analysis done for the Building Performance Rating Method include ALL of the energy costs within and associated with the building project. To achieve points using this credit, the proposed design must meet the following criteria:

Comply with the mandatory provisions in ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2010, Sections 5.4, 6.4, 7.4, 8.4, 9.4 and 10.4 (without amendments)

Include all the energy costs within and associated with the building project

November 5, 2012

Compare against a baseline building that complies with Appendix G to ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2010 (without amendments). The default process energy cost is 25% of the total energy cost for the baseline building. For buildings where the process energy cost is less than 25% of the baseline building energy cost, the submittal must include supporting documentation substantiating that process energy inputs are appropriate.

For the purpose of this analysis, process energy is considered to include, but is not limited to: office and general miscellaneous equipment, computers, elevators and escalators, kitchen cooking and refrigeration, laundry washing and drying, lighting exempt from the lighting power allowance (e.g., lighting integral to security operations) and other (e.g., waterfall pumps).

Regulated (non-process) energy includes lighting (such as for the interior, parking garage, surface parking, façade, or building grounds, except as noted above), HVAC (such as for space heating, space cooling, fans, pumps, toilet exhaust, parking garage ventilation, kitchen hood exhaust, etc.), and service water heating for domestic or space heating purposes.

For this credit, process loads shall be identical for both the baseline building performance rating and for the proposed building performance rating. However, project teams may follow the Exceptional Calculation Method (ASHRAE 90.1-2010 G2.5) to document measures that reduce process loads. Documentation of process load energy savings shall include a list of the assumptions made for both the base and proposed design, and theoretical or empirical information supporting these assumptions.

DC-69

Rahm Emanuel Mayor



November 5, 2012

Exterior Lighting (non-aviation related)

Exterior lighting applications (non-aviation related), such as roadways, surface parking lots and covered parking garages, the benchmark standard shall be equal to the energy use if all the fixtures on a project used 400-watt or 250-watt lamps, depending on the appropriate application (see also SAM Credit 4.2). Points are awarded when the proposed design reduces the energy use over the benchmark standard by the following levels:

1 point = 8% improvement over benchmark standard

2 points = 16% improvement over benchmark standard





NOTE: For parking lots associated with buildings, the parking lighting should be considered a part of the building’s electrical usage and therefore Options 1, 2, or 3 should be used. This option is to be used only for stand-alone parking areas or structures not directly associated with a building.

Example: The proposed design of a parking lot includes five high-mast light standards with two fixtures each and four lower level pedestrian lighting fixtures. The design calls for LED lighting to be used for all fixtures. The benchmark standard would be calculated such that there are 10 – 400 watt lamps for the parking lighting and 4 – 250 watt lamps for the pedestrian lighting. The benchmark standard is calculated to be 5,000 watts (10×400 + 4×250). The proposed LED lights are rated for 100 watts and 75 watts, respectively, for the parking and pedestrian lighting. Therefore, assuming no special lighting controls, the proposed energy rating for the project is 1,300 watts (10×100 + 4×75), a 74% reduction compared to the benchmark standard. This project would earn 6 points under this credit.

Pumping Systems

Pumping systems not directly associated with buildings, must exceed the minimum full-load efficiency requirements in ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2010, Table 10.8, for 4-pole, enclosed motors at 1800 rpm by the following levels:





DC-70

Rahm Emanuel Mayor



November 5, 2012



Airfield Lighting

For runway/taxiway lighting, exceed the minimum FAA specifications by the levels below. Note that the benchmark calculation shall assume that conventional lights are used throughout the project and that the calculation must be based on annual energy consumption and use seasonal climate data for the region, where applicable.







For projects that include multiple infrastructure elements such as those listed above, a weighted average based on the annual energy usage shall apply.

Example: A roadway project that includes a lift station realizes an annual energy savings of 65% over the benchmark standard for roadway lighting and 15% over the benchmark standard for pump systems. If the annual energy usage of the roadway lighting and the lift station is 40,000 kWh and 60,000 kWh, respectively, then the overall annual energy savings for the project is 35%. Therefore, 4 points are earned for this credit.

In some cases, there may be powered infrastructure elements that do not appear in the categories above for Option 4. In those cases, the designer may chose to demonstrate the energy savings based on an appropriate benchmark and submit for SRP review.

OR

Example Calculation:

(65%)(40,000 kWh) + (15%)(60,000 kWh)= 35%

100,000 kWh

= 35% overall energy savings for entire project; therefore 4 points earned for SAM Credit 4.4

OPTION 5 – PRESCRIPTIVE COMPLIANCE PATH: CIVIL/INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS (1 – 3 Points) For civil/infrastructure projects, in lieu of performing a detailed energy usage calculation, a prescriptive compliance path is available. To earn points using this method, the project must meet SAM Credit 4.2 Prerequisite 2 – Minimum Energy Performance, Option 4, where applicable, and use any of the energy saving technologies or strategies listed in the table below.

A point is awarded for each of the following technologies up to a maximum of 3 points for this credit.

Variable speed drive for pump motors 1

Solar powered signage, lighting, or equipment 1

Example: A service road that meets the requirements of SAM Credit 4.2 Prerequisite 2 – Minimum Energy Performance also uses LED fixtures for the roadway lighting (1 point) and uses light sensors to turn these lights on/off automatically depending on ambient light levels (additional 1 point).

4.5 On-Site Renewable Energy

1 to 7 Points

INTENT

Encourage and recognize increasing levels of on-site renewable energy self-supply in order to reduce environmental and economic impacts associated with fossil fuel energy use.

REQUIREMENTS

Use on-site renewable energy systems to offset building energy cost. Calculate project performance by expressing the energy produced by the renewable systems as a percentage of the building annual energy cost and using the table below to determine the number of points achieved.

Determine the percentage of energy derived from renewable energy equipment against the proposed energy cost calculated for SAM Credit 4.4 Optimize Energy Performance. If no energy model was prepared for SAM Credit 4.4 Optimize Energy Performance, use the Department of Energy (DOE) Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS) database to determine the estimated electricity use in the case of a building project. For civil projects, the portion of energy derived from renewable energy systems will be based on the fraction of the total energy replaced with on-site generated renewable energy assuming the project used conventional energy supplies (utility supplied electricity and gas).

SAM Credit 8.4 Menu Items address the use of lesser amounts renewable energy on a project, amounts that do not meet the 1% threshold in this credit.

Wind Turbines Boston Logan International Airport - Boston, Massachusetts

A fleet of miniature wind turbines at Boston Logan International Airport, each 6-foot-tall, placed at the edge of the rooftop of the airport's headquarters, is affixed at a unique angle to capture the winds that gust through Boston Harbor and climb the building's walls. The 20 turbines, installed in July 2008, are expected to generate about 100,000 kilowatt-hours annually, equal to 3% of the building's energy needs.

Hangar 25 Bob Hope Airport - Burbank, California

Hangar 25 at Bob Hope Airport, Burbank, California, is a $17 million structure designed to be a model of green construction and was built for what a traditional aircraft hangar would cost, according to Andy Meyers, president of Shangri-La Construction. The hangar features solar panels, skylights, artificial grass, low-flush toilets, and massive aerating fans. Situated on a former industrial lot with a cement slab, the hangar property now houses a state-of-the-art green aviation hangar minimizing the 51,000-square-foot building's carbon footprint. Avjet Corp. is the building owner. The building received a Platinum LEED® certification. In addition to providing power to run the tools and machines to maintain the planes, the energy from the solar panels on the roof powers the building's offices, copiers, computers and coffee machines. The building generates 110 percent of the energy it needs and then gives the surplus energy back to the municipal grid. Grates at the building's entrance scrape off contaminants under shoes. No toxic chemicals fill the fire suppression system. The concrete floor has no chemical polymers. In the office area, all of the cabinets are made of Plyboo®, a type of bamboo with a water-based finish.

Solar Power System Denver International Airport ‐ Denver, Colorado

Denver’s second large-scale solar power system became operational in December 2009; this new 1.6 MW Sharp solar power array powers the airport’s fuel-storage and distribution facility. Just a year prior in 2008, the airport introduced the first solar power array that consisted of a two megawatt solar panel system designed to generate over three million kilowatt hours of clean electricity annually. These cost-effective energy systems were developed by a public-private partnership utilizing tax credits and incentives. This initiative shows that airports can embrace renewable energy in a financially viable way and increase the overall sustainability of their operations.

Green Power Los Angeles World Airports - Los Angeles, California

Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) has embraced energy efficiency for over 20 years. The efficient use of energy and the incorporation of green power are critical factors in sustainable operations at LAWA’s facilities. LAWA has retrofitted existing buildings with energy efficient lighting fixtures, ballasts and bulbs. It has upgraded 80 percent of the building air handling units with variable speed drives and soft-start controls. Additionally, 60 percent of LAWA computer servers have been upgraded to high efficiency servers. Twenty-five percent of Los Angeles International Airport’s (LAX) power comes from green sources. LAX’s Central Utilities Plant co-generates steam to heat and air condition passenger terminals and offices. When feasible, Ontario International Airport (ONT) closes one of the runways at night to save power. ONT is also installing occupancy sensors in their administration areas and encouraging employees to turn off the lights. When appropriate, inefficient fan drives are replaced with variable fan drives.

REQUIREMENTS

Recycle and/or salvage non-hazardous construction and demolition debris. Develop and implement a construction waste management plan that, at a minimum, identifies the materials to be diverted from disposal and whether the materials will be sorted on-site. Excavated soil and land-clearing debris do contribute to this credit. Calculations must be done by weight (conversion may be necessary) and must be consistent throughout. The minimum percentage debris to be recycled or salvaged for each point threshold is as follows:

November 5, 2012

All airport projects, including those not subject to Section 11-4-1905 of the Chicago Code, shall be subject to the submittal requirements of this credit.

Submit documentation to CDA for tracking purposes in addition to documentation required by the ordinance.

Note that the requirements of this credit are very similar to the Chicago construction waste ordinance and CDA/OMP Specification 01524 with the exceptions as noted above. The specification follows the City ordinance with additional provisions for submittal requirements and project applicability.

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Note that the City of Chicago waste ordinance mandates that a minimum of 50% of construction and demolition (C&D) waste produced on-site (as measured by weight) is diverted from landfill.

It is expected that these practices may lead to savings in material costs due to resource coordination and income generation from recycled/salvaged materials. Due to the large nature of the OMP construction program, for example, many opportunities exist for on-site material recycling, especially for the aggregate and paving materials.

Standard Practice

Utilize designated areas for recycling construction debris on-site, primarily concrete, asphalt, and aggregates. Other materials are typically handled on a site-and-material-specific basis.


Thoroughly evaluate cut-and-fill needs to develop a balanced earthwork plan to reduce hauling off-site

Establish goals for diversion from disposal in landfills and incineration facilities and adopt a construction waste management plan to achieve these goals

Consider recycling cardboard, metal, brick, mineral fiber panel, concrete, plastic, wood, glass, gypsum wallboard, carpet and insulation

Construction debris processed into a recycled content commodity that has an open market value (e.g., wood derived fuel [WDF], alternative daily cover material, etc.) may be applied to the construction waste calculation

5.5 Aggregate Reuse

1 Point

INTENT

Promote the reuse of aggregate from on-airport property sources.

REQUIREMENTS

Reuse aggregates, including sand, gravel, crushed concrete, and recycled asphalt for at least 10% by weight of all aggregates used for permanent structures and pavement. This does not include aggregates used for temporary structures such as haul roads or check dams. The source of the aggregates must be from on-airport property demolition activities or other on-airport projects. When reusing on-site aggregates, these may not be counted under the recycled content of materials, SAM Credit 5.7 Recycled Content, and should only be counted under this credit. When recycled aggregates from off-airport sources are used, then this would count toward SAM Credit 5.7 Recycled Content.

Exemplary Performance

If a project achieves an aggregate reuse rate greater than 90% by weight of all aggregates used for permanent structures, then an additional point may be claimed under SAM Credit 8.1 Innovation in Design & Construction.

Example: To build a new sidewalk, a project used 100 tons of aggregate in total. Of this amount, 10 tons was recovered from on-airport stockpiles, 20 tons was recovered from a nearby non-airport construction project, and the remainder was virgin material purchased from a quarry. In this case, only the 10 tons recovered from the airport stockpiles would count toward this credit, which would translate to a 10% aggregate reuse rate (10 tons/100 tons total) and therefore the point is achieved. The 20 tons of recovered material from the non-airport source (but not the 10 tons from on-airport source) would be counted under SAM Credit 5.7 Recycled Content.

Warm mix asphalt on Runway 4R/22L Boston Logan International Airport - Boston, Massachusetts

Aggregate Industries’ Northeast Region recently placed 25,952 tons of warm mix asphalt on Runway 4R/22L at Boston Logan International Airport, the first airport in the nation to use the environmentally friendly asphalt on a runway repaving project, according to the Massachusetts Port Authority. This article originally appeared in Asphalt Contractor, a Cygnus sister publication. When the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) awarded a $6.3-million contract this past summer to repave Runway 4R/22L at Boston Logan International Airport, the priority was to clearly reduce greenhouse emissions and energy during construction. In a statement released earlier, Massport CEO and Executive Director Thomas J. Kinton Jr. said, “Warm mix uses 20 percent less energy to make, produces 20 percent fewer greenhouse emissions when applied, and allows us to use a higher percentage of recycled asphalt pavement in the final product. This project is another example of Massport leading the way as an airport operator to reduce our impact on the environment wherever we can do so in a financially responsible way.” But more importantly, the project provided another way for Massport to continue its environmental stewardship commitment to reduce emissions and recycle valuable resources.

5.7 Recycled Content

1 to 2 Points

INTENT

Increase demand for building products that incorporate recycled content materials, thereby reducing impacts resulting from extraction and processing of virgin materials.

REQUIREMENTS

Use materials with recycled content such that the sum of postconsumer recycled content plus one-half of the pre-consumer content constitutes at least 10% or 20%, based on cost, of the total value of the materials in the project. The minimum percentage materials recycled for each point threshold is as follows:

SAM Credit Recycled Content Points

5.7.1 10% 1

5.7.2 20% 2

The recycled content value of a material assembly is determined by weight. The recycled fraction of the assembly is then multiplied by the cost of assembly to determine the recycled content value. If specific material cost is not available, assume 45% of total cost (inclusive of materials, labor and equipment) is representative of the material cost.

Only include materials in CSI MasterFormat 1995 Divisions 2-10 in the calculations.

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing components and specialty items such as elevators cannot be included in this calculation. Include only materials permanently installed in the project. Furniture may be included if it is included consistently in SAM Credit 5.6 Materials Reuse through SAM Credit 5.11 Furniture and Equipment.

A pre-construction estimate using the recycled content form in CDA/OMP Standard Specification 01356 – Recycled Content to be provided by the contractor

A final construction estimate using the recycled content form in CDA/OMP Standard Specification 01356 – Recycled Content, to be provided by the contractor with the SAM Construction Checklist

DC-104

Rahm Emanuel Mayor



November 5, 2012

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Establish a project goal for recycled content materials, and identify material suppliers that can achieve this goal. During construction, ensure that the specified recycled content materials are installed. Consider a range of environmental, economic and performance attributes when selecting products and materials.

Standard Practice

Due to the nature of the program, the OMP uses and generates large amounts of recycled content materials particularly for the infrastructure projects which contain large amounts of paving materials and reinforcing steel. Where manufacturer information does not exist or cannot be obtained, CDA allows the use of the following recycled content percentages as a default for some of the common construction materials:

Material Post-consumer Pre-consumer

Steel 25% -

Copper 65% -

Aluminum 80% -

Reinforced concrete pipe 2% -

Asphaltic paving materials, conventional

45% 45%

Asphaltic paving materials, with roof shingles

67% 45%

Post-consumer Recycled Content is derived from materials that can no longer be used for their original purpose. Pre-consumer Recycled Content consists of raw material diverted from the waste stream during the manufacturing process.

NOTE: The values in the table above are typically very conservative. For example, depending on the process used to make the steel, the recycled content can be anywhere from 25% to 35% for steel produced in a basic oxygen furnace to almost 100% in an electric arc furnace.3 For this reason, the designers and contractors are encouraged to determine this information directly from the manufacturers and to not rely on these default values whenever possible.

6.5.2 Construction IAQ Management Plan: Before Occupancy

1 Point

INTENT

Reduce indoor air quality problems resulting from the construction/renovation process in order to help sustain the comfort and well-being of construction workers and building occupants.

REQUIREMENTS

OPTION 1 — Flush-Out After construction ends, prior to occupancy and with all interior finishes installed, perform a building flush-out by supplying a total air volume of 14,000 cu.ft. of outdoor air per sq.ft. of floor area while maintaining an internal temperature of at least 60 degrees F and relative humidity no higher than 60%.

OR

If occupancy is desired prior to completion of the flush-out, the space may be occupied following delivery of a minimum of 3,500 cu. ft. of outdoor air per sq. ft. of floor area to the space. Once a space is occupied, it shall be ventilated at a minimum rate of 0.30 cfm/sq. ft. of outside air or the design minimum outside air rate determined section 5.1, whichever is greater. During each day of the flush-out period, ventilation shall begin a minimum of three hours prior to occupancy and continue during occupancy. These conditions shall be maintained until a total of 14,000 cu. ft./sq. ft. of outside air has been delivered to the space.

NOTE: All finishes must be installed prior to flush-out.

OR

OPTION 2 — Air Testing Conduct baseline IAQ testing, after construction ends and prior to occupancy, using

testing protocols consistent with the United States Environmental Protection Agency Compendium of Methods for the Determination of Air Pollutants in Indoor Air and as additionally detailed in the LEED Reference Guide for Green Building Design and Construction, 2009 Edition.

CASE STUDIES

H. Weir Cook Terminal Indianapolis International Airport - Indianapolis, Indiana

The new terminal building at Indianapolis International Airport contains high glass walls and a sweeping roof, where very little heat is transferred from the sun to the inside of the building. During the daylight hours, very little artificial light is required to light the terminal, all leading to energy conservation and cost reduction. The terminal’s high ceiling and high-performance curtain walls minimize solar loads, and a radiantly chilled/heated granite floor help maintain temperature by cooling from the ground up and allowing the warm air to naturally gather at the top of the structure.

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Standard Practice

The OMP currently requires that all off-road construction vehicles over 50 hp use ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel and restrict idling times. In addition, all contractors are required to report fuel usage on a monthly basis. All projects are required to include CDA/OMP Specification 01111 – Construction Air Quality in their contract documents.


Contractors are encouraged to identify and incorporate any other measures that may assist in reducing air quality emissions as a result of construction. For example, many cleaner vehicle options now exist for employee shuttle buses and Light Duty Vehicles (LDVs) including compressed natural gas (CNG), hybrid (fuel/electric), flex fuel, and demand on displacement. The availability of cleaner vehicle options is anticipated to expand over time and over the course of the Project. Contractors working on the Project are strongly encouraged to consider these options when making purchase decisions.

CASE STUDY

Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel Mandate Chicago O’Hare Modernization Program - Chicago, Illinois

When the O’Hare Modernization Program (OMP) construction began in September 2005, several years before the EPA was mandating the use of ULSD fuel, the OMP made it a priority to minimize the air quality impacts of such a large construction project. At the time, the availability and cost of the specialized fuel and emissions control equipment caused concern to program officials and contractors alike. However, because of the size and duration of the construction activities, in addition to the need to meet EPA standards by 2010, the program may have bolstered the market for ULSD and the newer, cleaner burning construction.

As of September 2011, approximately 90% of all equipment met Tier 2 emission standards or better. The tier compliance is an emission based standard set by EPA. The higher the tier level the more stringent the emissions will be from the equipment.

7.9 Construction Materials Conveyance

1 Point

INTENT

Reduce emissions from construction activities by minimizing the amount of on-road and off-road vehicle traffic traveling to/from the construction site.

REQUIREMENTS

Use an automatic materials conveyance system as a method for transporting materials to or from a construction site.

SUBMITTALS

For the sustainable construction checklist, the contractor must describe the conveyance system in the narrative.

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

The use of a materials conveyance system not only reduces site traffic but can also aid in logistics, noise reduction, and increased security. The primary focus of a conveyance system will obviously be in those projects in which there is a large area requiring significant grading changes. While it is encouraged that soil be maintained on-site as much as possible, for those case where it is not feasible, a conveyance system would be a potential solution for transport to off-site, on- or near-airport locations.

Standard Practice

Due to the configuration of the airfield and the proximity of the earth stockpiles and sources, there has so far not been a need to use an automatic conveyor system. However, a railroad relocation project was awarded a point under this credit as a result of using the rail line itself to deliver materials for this project

7.10 Construction Noise and Acoustical Quality

1 Point

INTENT

Improve the exterior noise quality during construction affecting residential areas or other noise sensitive areas.

REQUIREMENTS

Although the City of Chicago has an environmental noise ordinance (Article XXI – Environmental Noise and Vibration Control), it does not apply to construction or demolition work on public improvements authorized by a government body or agency (City Ordinance 11-4-2835).

The requirements of this credit will only apply to noise disturbances that are adjacent to noise sensitive areas, such as residential or institutional (hospitals, schools, libraries, nursing homes) areas. Noise disturbances are defined as any sound which is audible at a distance of 600 feet from its source or any sound which generates a sound pressure level in the public way exceeding 70 dB(A) when measured 10-feet from the source (City Ordinance 11-4-2710).

To achieve a point under this credit, the following requirements must be met during construction for those sites that are near noise sensitive areas as defined by the Chicago City Ordinance:

Meet the noise restrictions listed in the Chicago City Ordinance (Article XXI, Part B) which include, but are not limited to, noise from mechanical stationary sources (11-4-2810), loading and unloading operations (11-4-2830), and construction equipment (11-4-2835) during nighttime hours.

OR

Implement a noise abatement or noise mitigation plan that identifies site specific, mechanical, structural or operational measures to reduce noise disturbances in noise sensitive areas adjacent to the project site.

SUBMITTALS

Although not required for the sustainable design checklist, indicate noise sensitive areas on plans to aid contractor in determining the best noise mitigation strategies.

For the sustainable construction checklist, the contractor must indicate that the requirements of the Chicago Environmental Noise Ordinance have been met or submit a noise mitigation plan identifying the measures taken to reduce noise disturbances in the affected areas.

DC-176

Rahm Emanuel Mayor



November 5, 2012

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

The primary paragraph related to construction activities is Chicago City Ordinance 11-4-2835 which basically states that no fuel or electric powered mechanical equipment may be used during the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. within 600 feet of any residential areas or hospitals. The ordinance further states that public improvements authorized by a government agency, like the OMP, are not subject to this ordinance, however, a point will be given under this credit for those projects that choose to comply with the ordinance.

There are numerous noise mitigation methods that can be employed some of which are site or equipment specific. The easiest method of noise mitigation is to locate the noise source in an area that is not noise sensitive and to conduct that work during daytime hours, 8:00am to 8:00pm. Where this is not possible, temporary barriers can be erected to mitigate the noise emanating from a source.

CASE STUDY

Noise Abatement and Mitigation Procedures Federal Highway Administration

The Federal Highway Administration has identified a number of measures and provisions which help to mitigate construction noise. One such strategy is the utilization of natural and artificial barriers such as ground elevation changes, existing buildings, noise walls, and other structures.

Also, many construction vehicle engine compressors are contained or have baffles to help abate noise levels. Electric compressors are significantly quieter than diesel or gasoline engine powered compressors.

INTENT

Reduce the use and depletion of finite raw materials and long-cycle renewable materials by replacing them with high recycled content, rapidly renewable materials and FSC certified wood products for temporary uses during construction.

REQUIREMENTS

Temporary construction materials include, but are not limited to, any materials that are used for construction that are not incorporated into the final development such as, erosion control materials, temporary haul roads, shoring materials, formwork, temporary carpentry, and traffic control devices and signage. For the purposes of this calculation, only the material cost, excluding labor and equipment, shall be used. In order to meet the requirements of this credit, one of the following requirements must be met:

Using a recycled content calculation similar to SAM Credit 5.7 Recycled Content, determine the percentage of recycled content in the temporary construction materials based on overall temporary construction material cost. To achieve a point in this credit, the overall recycled content of the temporary construction materials must be 30% or greater by cost.

OR

Using a rapidly renewable content calculation similar to SAM Credit 5.9 Rapidly Renewable Materials, determine the percentage of the rapidly renewable materials based on overall temporary construction material cost. To achieve a point in this credit, the overall recycled content of the temporary construction materials must be 10% or greater by cost.

OR

Using a certified wood calculation similar to SAM Credit 5.10 Certified Wood, determine the percentage of certified wood materials based on the total wood-based material cost. To achieve a point in this credit, the overall recycled content of the temporary construction materials must be 60% or greater by cost.

Do not count temporary construction materials under any of the credits in Section 5.0 - Materials & Resources. Materials such as aggregates may be counted either under SAM Credit 5.5 Aggregate Reuse or this credit, but should only be counted once.

SUBMITTALS

Include descriptive narrative and calculations in SAM Checklist. Indicate in the narrative which of the above technologies and strategies are being included in the project and, where applicable, indicate where these items are shown in the drawings or specifications.

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Choose any of the following:

Construction equipment retrofit – The use of particulate traps and catalysts to meet more stringent EPA emissions standards for older construction equipment

Photovoltaics – Photovoltaic or solar-electric systems may be ground-mounted, roof-mounted, or built into the roof or walls of a building, known as building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV)

Geothermal heating/cooling systems – Any geothermal system to provide heating and cooling is an acceptable strategy

Wind power – Generate on-site electricity using wind turbines, horizontal or vertical Rainwater harvesting – Collecting rainwater from the many roofs at an airport would

provide a large source of clean non-potable water. Although the supply would far exceed the demand, the use of harvested rainwater should be taken on a site-specific case by case basis. Although airport irrigation is limited to ornamental planters, other uses such as vehicle washing may be amenable to this technology.

Permeable pavement – The amount of pavement at an airport makes permeable pavement an attractive application for the management of stormwater. Although major pavement areas such as runways, taxiways, and apron areas cannot include permeable pavement, there is a significant amount of non-aviation related pavement areas. Using permeable pavement, unit pavers or permeable asphalt or concrete, may also further contribute to the sustainability of a project because these materials can contain high recycled content materials that are locally available, and may reduce heat island effects for non-roof areas, in addition to their stormwater management aspects. All three of these types of pavements have been demonstrated and are being used by the City of Chicago in its Green Alley Program under the direction of Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT).

Trombe or Solar walls – These systems use solar energy to heat a thermal mass, usually a concrete wall or an air gap between an interior wall and a dark-colored exterior surface, as means to preheat intake air. On very cold days, the heating system can condition preheated air rather than putting the additional energy in heating cold outside air, thereby realizing an energy savings. In some cases, the wall may also have a photovoltaic component that generates electricity.

Green Walls – Vegetated green wall systems on exterior of building envelope can reduce wall surface temperatures by as much as 18°F (depending on which direction it is

DC-185

facing), which also results in significant air conditioning savings, while reducing the heat island effect

Warm-Mix Asphalt - Warm-mix asphalt allows the producers of hot-mix asphalt pavement material to lower the temperatures at which the material is mixed and placed on the road. Reductions of 50°F to 100°F have been documented. Such drastic reductions have the obvious benefits of cutting fuel consumption and decreasing the production of greenhouse gases. In addition, engineering benefits include better compaction on the road, the ability to haul paving mix for longer distances, and extending the paving season by being able to pave at lower temperatures.

Water heating – Solar thermal hot water heating technology uses a solar collector which is simply a heat exchanger designed to convert the sun’s radiant light energy into thermal energy to be stored for later use. This collector uses optics and parabolic concentration technology to heat the fluid media passing through the selectively coated tubing manifold. The fluid media is circulated, via a pump, through the collector and into a storage tank located within the home/building. Other water heating technologies that are encouraged include demand, instantaneous, or tankless water heaters. Demand water heaters heat water directly without the use of a storage tank thus avoiding the standby heat losses associated with conventional storage tank water heaters. When a hot water tap is turned on, cold water travels through a pipe into the unit. Either a gas burner or an electric element heats the water as it passes through coiled piping within the unit. As a result, demand water heaters deliver a constant supply of hot water not limited by the volume of a storage tank.

CASE STUDY

What about Green Walls? Tokyo, Japan

During summer, hot walls cause temperatures to rise inside buildings, increasing demand on cooling systems and consuming more energy. A Green Wall surface temperature is reduced by up to 10°C when covered with plants and moist soil. In 1979, Green Wall research by Akira Hoyano (Professor, Tokyo Institute of Technology), a pioneer in passive and low-energy architecture, revealed that the heat energy that passed through a Green Wall was significantly lower than a concrete wall (see below graph).

The Tokyo City Government recently undertook a study to measure the effects of Green Walls on the Heat Island effect, and in essence, to confirm Professor Hoyano's earlier findings. They not only confirmed the findings, but they were able to derive the significance of Green Walls in cooling buildings and combating the Heat Island Effect.

With the Green Wall tests shown here, it was discovered that Green Wall panels reduce the wall temperature by 10°C (see the below graph). It was also concluded that Green Wall panel reduce energy transfer into a building by ~0.24kWh/m2. This is approximately 60% less than that of a Green Roof. The above calculations can be used in the same manner, however, Green Wall energy savings calculations depend greatly on the direction the wall is facing, the sun's angle in your local region, and many other factors that make calculating Green Wall energy savings complex.

APPENDIX DC-A

GREEN AIRPLANE RATING SYSTEM for

DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION

The Sustainable Airport Manual Green Airplane Rating System consists of all the points available for each credit, by project category, for each checklist. The table shows each of the nine credit categories for the Design & Construction chapter of the SAM, their titles and available points. The points that can be achieved vary based on the four project types, Civil-Airside (CA), Civil-Landside (CL), Occupied Buildings (OB), and Unoccupied Buildings (UB), and by checklist, design versus construction. The total points achieved can be used to determine the SAM Green Airplane Rating which is shown at the bottom of the table. For example, a Civil-Airside project during the SAM Design Checklist review would need to earn at least 25 points, but less than 31, to achieve a 3 Green Airplane rating.

3 For those credits that were achieved, indicate this by putting the appropriate point in the “Points Obtained” column. Note that for “Prerequisite” credits, no point is achieved as these are the minimum performance requirements for sustainability under the SAM. For prerequisites, insert a "Yes" for those that are applicable (some prerequisites do not apply for civil projects).

If the credit requirements for SAM Credit 5.10 – Certified Wood are met, then insert a “1” under the “Points Obtained” column.

4 Indicate where each credit's scope of work is shown/described/documented in the Construction Documents (CDs) under the appropriate column by inserting the drawing and/or specification number that refers to the credit, e.g. reference erosion control drawings and specifications for SAM Credit 2.1 Construction Activity Pollution Prevention; reference the construction waste management specification for SAM Credit 5.3 Construction Waste Management.

Under Reference Drawing/Sheet No. insert e.g. "CG-104 to CG-107, CD-233"AND/ORUnder Reference Specification Section insert e.g. "01524".

5 In the "Narrative" column, describe the scope of work for the project relevant to this credit by replacing the ”Fill in scope of work” phrase with the appropriate description. ORDelete the ”Fill in scope of work” phrase or indicate with “NA” those credits which are not project goals as indicated in the "Goal by Project Category" column. This would include such things as building related credits that are not applicable to a civil/infrastructure project, for example.ORFor credits that were indicated as goals under “Goal by Project Category” but were not achieved, leave the "Points Obtained" column blank and describe the reasons for this in the "Narrative". Include any additional information such as estimated quantities and/or locations.


Under SAM Credit 5.3 Construction Waste Management, fill in scope of work: "A total of 89% of C&D waste totaling 2,800 tons was diverted from landfills. This included 2,150 tons of concrete which was sent to the South Airfield concrete recycling plant, 400 tons of reclaimed asphalt which was stockpiled at the South Airfield recycling area near Guard Post #3, 220 tons of scrap metal, fencing, and guard rails that was recycled by an off-site scrap hauler, and misc. construction waste. See attached calculations [include required forms ]."ORFor a Civil-Airside (CA) project, under SAM Credit 6.3 Outdoor Air Delivery Monitoring, delete "Fill in scope of work" and insert "NA" (there is no outdoor air delivery monitoring on a CA project).ORUnder SAM Credit 5.7 Recycled Content, fill in scope of work: "Due to the specialized nature of the materials and due to FAA specification restrictions, the overall recycled content for the construction materials (Div. 2-10) was only 4.5% of the total cost of the materials (minus labor and equipment). Therefore, the point was not achieved. See attached calculations."

6 For some credits, supporting documentation, typically some form of calculations, will also need to be included, if applicable. Credits that require supporting documentation are indicated in the description with ”Fill in scope of work and include supporting documentation”. See SAM for supporting documentation templates. In some cases, the SRP may require additional supporting documentation for the other credits during review process for clarification.

NOTE: Points cannot be awarded for those credits that require supporting documentation without the appropriate documentation.

See first and third example under Step 3 above. Credit SAM Credit 5.3 Construction Waste Management requires a C&D Debris Compliance Form per Specification 01524. SAM Credit 5.7 Recycled Content requires a Recycled Content Calculation Template per Specification 01356.

7 Use US Green Building Council LEED-NC 2009™ guidelines to determine calculations, requirements, or examples in the cases where the SAM does not specify how points may be achieved or supported.

For SAM Credit 4.7 Enhanced Refrigerant Management, the default values for the calculations and some examples are given in the LEED-NC 2009™ Reference Guide under Energy & Atmosphere, Credit 4 (EAc4).

…Operations and maintenance is the implementation phase. It’s where the rubber meets the

road. All previous chapters have to be integrated with operations and maintenance to make it work…Operations and maintenance is also

the end product of what all of the other chapters produce…

Paul Manasjan San Diego County Regional Airport Authority

…We have to look at life-cycle costs, return on investment; we have to look at the big picture. Design and construction is a very small percentage of the airport costs; the bulk lies in the operations and continued-use…

INTRODUCTION

There are almost 20,000 airports in the United States today. The day-to-day operation and maintenance of an airport involves various tasks. Airport operators must handle both routine matters as well as unusual circumstances. Their responsibilities, among many, include:

Keeping records Hiring and training personnel Maintaining pavement Maintaining markings, signs, and lighting Providing snow and ice control Overseeing procedures for operation of vehicles on the airfield Providing obstruction lighting Protecting navigational aids Managing emergency preparedness Overseeing handling of hazardous materials - including jet fuel Vehicle maintenance Facility maintenance, from terminals, to office building, to warehouses, trades buildings,

etc. Conducting airport self-inspections Protecting public safety Ensuring wildlife control Overseeing construction projects

While conducting day-to-day operations and activities, airport operators must comply with regulations protecting the environment. All airport operations must be carried out with consideration for how the environment could be adversely affected. Airport environmental concerns may include many things: noise, land use; social impacts, air quality; endangered and threatened species and wildlife, energy supply and natural resources, light pollution, solid waste impacts, stormwater impacts, or construction impacts.

The Sustainable Airport Manual (SAM) Green Airplane Rating System for Operations & Maintenance (O&M) is designed to certify the sustainability of day-to-day building operations, maintenance procedures, system upgrades, minor space-use changes, and minor facility alterations or additions, and training and educational programs.

APPLICABILITY

SAM Operations & Maintenance (SAM O&M) certification encourages airport operators to implement sustainable practices to reduce the environmental impacts of the day-to-day activities and their buildings functional life cycles. Specifically, the rating system addresses exterior building site maintenance programs, water and energy usage, environmentally preferred products and practices for cleaning and alterations, sustainable purchasing policies, waste management, and ongoing indoor/outdoor environmental quality, as well as training and education of employees, tenants and the general public.

The Sustainable Airport Manual (SAM) Operations & Maintenance chapter is applicable to entities and activities that have no customer/passenger contact and do not require design services.

AuOM-4

The three main entities are defined below:

1. Chicago Department of Aviation Divisions

The activities of the following CDA divisions and their subgroups and contractors will be evaluated within this chapter:

Design/Construction (maintenance activities) Environmental and Noise Facilities Safety and Security Ground Transportation (Landside) Operations (Landside/Airside) Parking Real Estate/Properties Terminal Building/Landside Vehicle Services

Contractor activities will be included and evaluated under the CDA division or Tenant based on individual contract. Major renovations (defined as major HVAC renovation, envelope modifications and major interior rehabilitation) will be evaluated under the Design and Construction chapter.

2. Tenants

The following are representative of tenants that can be evaluated within this chapter:

Airlines o Airline non-customer contact o Freight handlers non-customer contact

Flight Service Kitchens Landscaping Parking Services Parking Lots Hangars

Tenant entities and activities that have direct customer/passenger contact and/or require design services will be evaluated under the Concessions & Tenants chapter.

3. User-Defined

This category includes entities with operations that have clearly defined boundaries that may not exactly fit into the two categories above or that may be combinations of the above, or some derivation thereof. It is intended to encompass entities that may have multiple tenants or CDA divisions but operating under a single O&M regime, e.g. a building having operations large enough to require its own administrative, custodial, and/or landscape operations.

OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE SECTIONS

The achievement of credits is dependent on the sustainable elements included in the following categories:

Applies to OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE activities:

AP Administrative Procedures 1.0 Sustainable Site Management 2.0 Water Efficiency 3.0 Energy & Atmosphere 4.0 Materials & Resources 5.0 Indoor Environmental Quality 6.0 Innovation for Operations & Maintenance 7.0 Education & Training 8.0 Monitoring & Reporting

Each category contains a specific number of credits, against which each project is evaluated in order to determine that project’s earned points. The number of points earned is then translated into a rating. There are specific weighted point thresholds (i.e. applicable credits), so as not to inadvertently penalize a project for not achieving points that would not be applicable. The list of credits and point thresholds applicable to each project type are summarized in Appendix OM-A – Green Airplane Rating System for Operations & Maintenance.

PROCESS

Within the Manual’s main body, each sustainable credit has five subsections: Intent, Requirements, Submittals, Technology/Strategy, and Case Studies, as described below:


Requirements: Specifies institutional, operational, and mechanical elements that satisfy the intent. The prerequisites must be achieved; the credits are optional, but contribute to the overall rating.


Technology/Strategy: Highlights specific ways of meeting the recommendations within the scope for each specific project. Case studies where available, are presented to help guide the application of sustainable credits to operations and maintenance activities. To aid with consideration of applicable strategies and technologies, they are organized into the following three categories; “Standard Practice,” “Recommended Practice,” and “Best Available Practice.”

o Standard Practice: These are requirements that may be due to standards, specifications, codes, general best management or construction practices. They are

AuOM-6

November 5, 2012


Rahm Emanuel Mayor


practices already in place, and in many cases SAM prerequisites, which also serve to meet sustainable goals.


o Best Available Practice: These are strategies and practices that are expected to enhance the environmental efforts of the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA), but are anticipated to potentially increase costs or effort.


While not all strategies will be applicable, operations and maintenance teams are highly encouraged to think creatively and to consider the intent of each issue throughout the decision process. In all cases, it is the responsibility of the design and construction teams to evaluate and review with the Chicago Department of Aviation any anticipated cost or schedule impact.

SUBMITTALS

Sustainable Airport Manual (SAM) Checklists

Incorporation of sustainable practices and technologies is tracked using a checklist in order to determine the number of applicable credits described in this Manual. The SAM O&M Checklist is completed by the applicant. The checklist is provided in Appendix OM-B – Operations & Maintenance Checklist.

In order to achieve points, certain requirements need to be met, as outlined in each credit. In some instances, studies and calculations would be appropriate. In other instances, this will be accomplished through product and material data or through referenced standards or specifications.

In addition to review of the checklist, the Sustainable Review Panel (SRP) will review any supporting documentation including calculations, specifications, and contractor’s submittals as needed to support the achievement of the credit(s). See Section titled Implementation and Review Process for detailed information about the SRP.

The SAM Green Airplane Rating System for OM uses a five tier approach to rating operations and maintenance activities. Due to the variety of departments, operations, and entities that can be evaluated in this chapter, the rating system is based on the number of Total Applicable Points for each evaluation. The Total Applicable Points are determined on a case by case basis. A credit is deemed applicable if it is obtainable by the entity being evaluated. “Green Airplane Certification” statuses are used to designate achievement levels. The levels are:

OM GREEN AIRPLANE RATING SYSTEM

No. of Green Airplanes

Points Required to Achieve Rating

Total Prerequisites 7

All Applicable Prerequisites + 6 Points

20% of Total Applicable Points





The SAM and its supporting documentation are administered by the Sustainable Review Panel (SRP), which currently consists of representatives of the CDA Management Staff, CDA Design and Construction Staff and Representatives, OMP Project Management Office (PMO), Master Civil Engineer (MCE), and Airport Planners actively involved in CDA projects. The composition of the SRP is intended to be dynamic depending on needs.

The SRP is responsible for the review of project initiatives with respect to sustainability and provides technical support to the Project Manager (PM) of each project in relation to sustainable practices. The SRP is responsible for review of every operation and maintenance project and for the awarding of “Green Airplane Certification” ratings based on the extent of incorporation of sustainable practices as outlined in this Manual and as documented on the submitted SAM Checklist(s). Other responsibilities of the SRP include preparation and review of sustainable design related specifications, technical memoranda, and miscellaneous documents, as necessary. In addition, the SRP is responsible for presentations and training to project team members with respect to the application of this Manual. The primary task of the SRP is to oversee the application of the Manual.

CASE STUDY

Motor Vehicle Maintenance College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources – University of Hawaii at Manoa

Excerpt taken from the University of Hawaii at Manoa’s Motor Vehicle Maintenance Document:

Your motor vehicle can be a source of water pollution even if it is not near the water. Oil spilled on a driveway or parking lot and outdoor spills of antifreeze, brake fluid, and other automotive fluids can be washed away by rain into streams and the ocean. There, they can harm aquatic life and make the water unpleasant and sometimes unsafe to swim or fish in. Washing your vehicle can also cause pollution if the dirty water flows into a storm drain and on to the ocean. However, there are several things that you can do to reduce the risks of water pollution from your vehicles. Proper vehicle maintenance and appropriate disposal of waste oil, antifreeze, and other fluids will greatly reduce water pollution risks. Washing your vehicle can cause water pollution. If you live in an urban area and wash your vehicle on the street, in a driveway, or in a paved parking lot, the dirty, soapy water drains off and flows directly into the storm drain, picking up oil and other pollutants as it goes. A better option is to wash your car in an approved car-washing area of your building where water goes into the sewer system, or to take it to a commercial car wash or spray booth that sends its dirty water into the sewer system.

Erosion and Sediment Control on Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport Project Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport – Atlanta, Georgia

Excessive rain can create excessive soil erosion control problems. Due to the large quantities of soil being moved on the land, the potential for sediment contamination is great. Erosion control measures for this project consisted of the use of slope drains that feed into a detention basin. The basins then serve as collectors of heavy rainfall to prevent flooding.

Rock is often times used in conjunction with the erosion control systems. A more aesthetically pleasing method was a vegetative cover provided by 3.2 million square yards of temporary seeding and 2 million square yards of permanent seeding. Atlanta, in addition, installed a total of 300,000 square yards of turf reinforcement mat and 4,000 square yards of ditch liner will be installed to help anchor the grass within the problem areas.

1.9.1 Stormwater Management: Landside

1 point

INTENT

Limit disruption of natural water hydrology by reducing impervious cover, increasing on-site infiltration, reducing or eliminating pollution from stormwater runoff, and eliminating contaminants by enhancing the current operating system.

REQUIREMENTS

Reduce impervious surfaces totaling at least 5% of your total site area with permeable surfaces. Those surfaces can include, but are not limited to:

Permeable asphalt / concrete Open grid pavers Aggregate materials Turf or landscaped areas

OR

Harvest rainwater and develop a use for it;

OR

Nonstructural techniques such as, but not limited to:

Rain gardens Vegetated swales Disconnection of imperviousness Rainwater recycling

SUBMITTALS


TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Because many airside pavements have the potential for deicing fluid and jet fuel contamination, technologies that increase infiltration to the subsurface are not used. On landside projects, or for areas not subject to aviation-related contaminants, these methods are encouraged; however, other contaminants may be present and need to be addressed.

Maintain natural stormwater flows by promoting infiltration. Maintain procedures that include ongoing monitoring of any installed features that assist in stormwater irrigation, pervious paving, and other measures to minimize impervious surfaces. Any strategies used should discourage

Terminal Building Cooling System New Chitose Airport – Hokkaido, Japan

The New Chitose Airport terminal building in Hokkaido, Japan, will utilize a new cooling system by the fiscal year 2010. The transport ministry plans to collect snow during the winter and preserve it to provide 30% of the building's cooling needs during the summer. Of the snow collected throughout the winter, approximately 45% of the snow is preserved for the summertime through the use of heat-insulating materials. The collected snow would be used to chill the liquid of the building's cooling system. This practice could stave off 2,100 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per annum compared to using the building's existing cooling system.

1.10 Heat Island Reduction

1 to 2 points

INTENT

Minimize impacts of existing roofs and pavements that cause the heat island effect (thermal gradient differences between developed and undeveloped areas).

REQUIREMENTS

Use any combination of the following strategies when replacing/renovating or maintaining pavement:

For 50% of the site’s hardscape area (including roads, sidewalks, courtyards, and parking lots) complete the following (1 point):

o Provide shade from an existing tree canopy or within five years of landscape installation - landscaping (trees) must be in place at the time of certification application

o Have paving materials with a Solar Reflective Index (SRI) of at least 29 and implement a maintenance program that ensures these surfaces are cleaned at least every two years to maintain good reflectance and minimums

Steep-Sloped Roof 29

o Vegetated green roof

SUBMITTALS

Include descriptive narrative and calculations in SAM Checklist

AuOM-33

November 5, 2012


Rahm Emanuel Mayor


TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Employ strategies, materials and landscaping techniques that reduce heat absorption of exterior materials. Use shade (calculated at 10 a.m., 12 noon, and 3 p.m. on the summer solstice [June 21] that will be used as the effective shaded area) from native or adapted trees and large shrubs, vegetated trellises or other exterior structures supporting vegetation. Consider the use of new coatings and integral colorants for asphalt to achieve light-colored surfaces instead of blacktop. Position photovoltaic cells to shade impervious surfaces.

Consider installing high-albedo roofs to reduce heat absorption. SRI is calculated according to ASTM E 1980. Reflectance is measured according to ASTM E 903, ASTM E 1918 or ASTM C 1549. Emittance is measured according to ASTM E 408 or ASTM C 1371. Product information is available from the Cool Roof Rating Council website, at www.coolroofs.org. Also, visit the ENERGY STAR website, www.energystar.gov to research compliant products.

Unless the reflectance is determined directly through in-site testing, the following default SRI values are to be used:

MATERIAL SRI


Old (weathered) “gray” concrete 19



New Asphalt 0

Old Asphalt 6

Standard Practice

White roofs are currently the standard for new construction on airport property. These are acceptable; however, SRI decreases with the age of the roof. Unless a cleaning program is in place, the benefits of white roofs diminish over time. For this reason, along with the benefits of stormwater management, the construction of vegetated green roofs is encouraged.


Maximize light colored/high albedo pavement, such as Portland Concrete Cement (PCC), for roadways, parking lots, sidewalks and plaza areas. Reflectance must be a minimum of 0.3 (‘White’ portland cement – 0.7 to 0.8, typical PCC – 0.35 to 0.5, typical asphalt pavement – 0.05 (new) to 0.15 (over 5 years)). On an annual basis, test the pervious areas to verify the SRI standard is met as well as to depict improvement.

Evaluate and utilize an ENERGY STAR compliant roofing system, such as aluminum coating and light-colored coatings. Thermoplastic and white Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) roofing systems meet these standards.


For Landside projects only, install trees consistent with CDA/OMP Specification 02905 – Sustainable Airport Landscaping, and for any proposed plant species not listed, consult an FAA certified airport biologist to ensure the plants will not attract wildlife

A creative combination of the above strategies to reach this goal is encouraged. For example, a task/project can provide 5% shading of dark colored impervious surfaces and 25% light colored/high albedo pavement to achieve this goal

Install open grid pavement for surface lots and site pavement Install light-colored permeable pavers and concrete Install “green walls” for building façade

Canberra Airport has taken the initiative to install water efficient devices in all new buildings. These devices include 5A reduced flow shower heads, mixer or infrared taps, 3/4.5 dual flush toilets and waterless urinals. These water fittings use significantly less water than the fittings put into most domestic homes.

The biggest users of water inside most buildings are the urinals with a typical modern trough system with automatic sensors using approximately 100,000 liters per year (older trough systems use significantly more). Canberra Airport uses a number of different technologies in order to reduce this water consumption to essentially zero. In the newer buildings Canberra Airport utilizes waterless urinals. In the existing buildings, an alternative water saving device (the Desert Cube Waterless Urinal System) is used, cutting water usage by about 84%.

The new building, with a capacity to accommodate 600 employees, will collect rainfall in a 15,000 L capacity system, and will be used for toilets and urinals. Based on the average occupancy and existing rainfall rates the system will save an estimated 280,000 L of water per year or enough water to take over 3000 baths and will eliminate the need to draw water for sanitary plumbing purposes.

Rainwater Harvesting – Bovington Regional Prime Contract South West (RPC SW), England – United Kingdom

Bovington Camp, located in Dorset, has been developed as a training facility for maintenance and operation of the Terrier track armored excavating vehicle. As part of the development, two new buildings were required – a junior ranks mess and communal facility serving several hundred people per day, and a building to house the Terrier simulators, and provide training and workshop space for 65 people. A rainwater harvesting system was installed on both buildings, each with a 5,000 L tank capacity. The system is designed to continuously meet the water demands for the toilets and urinals in both buildings, with each taken providing enough water for over 1,000 flushes when full.

Blackwater Recycling Treatment Plant Canberra Airport – Brindabella, Australia

The Blackwater Recycling Treatment Plant at Canberra Airport was launched in 2007 and is a system designed to take sewer (or “black”) water from the buildings and treat it to a drinkable level using a self-cleaning membrane system and UV safety filters. After the treatment, the water is then used (along with rainwater captured off roofs) in toilets and externally for irrigation (whilst the water is drinkable, it is not used for drinking or showering). This was the first commercial large scale water recycling system in the ACT, and the first at an Australian Airport.

Wind Turbines Boston Logan International Airport – Boston, Massachusetts

A fleet of miniature wind turbines at Boston Logan International Airport, each 6-foot-tall, placed at the edge of the rooftop of the airport's headquarters, is affixed at a unique angle to capture the winds that gust through Boston Harbor and climb the building's walls. The 20 turbines, installed in July 2008, are expected to generate about 100,000 kilowatt-hours annually, equal to 3% of the building's energy needs.

Hangar 25 Bob Hope Airport – Burbank, California

Hangar 25 at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, California, is a $17 million structure designed to be a model of green construction and was built for what a traditional aircraft hangar would cost, according to Andy Meyers, president of Shangri-La Construction. The hangar features solar panels, skylights, artificial grass, low-flush toilets, and massive aerating fans. Situated on a former industrial lot with a cement slab, the hangar property now houses a state-of-the-art green aviation hangar minimizing the 51,000-square-foot building's carbon footprint. Avjet Corp. is the building owner. The building received a Platinum LEED® certification. In addition to providing power to run the tools and machines to maintain the planes, the energy from the solar panels on the roof powers the building's offices, copiers, computers and coffee machines. The building generates 110% of the energy it needs and then gives the surplus energy back to the municipal grid. Grates at the building's entrance scrape off contaminants under shoes. No toxic chemicals fill the fire suppression system. The concrete floor has no chemical polymers. In the office area, all of the cabinets are made of Plyboo®, a type of bamboo with a water-based finish.

Solar Power System Denver International Airport ‐ Denver, Colorado

Denver’s second large-scale solar power system became operational in December 2009; this new 1.6 MW Sharp solar power array powers the airport’s fuel-storage and distribution facility. Just a year prior in 2008, the airport introduced the first solar power array that consisted of a two megawatt solar panel system designed to generate over three million kilowatt hours of clean electricity annually. These cost-effective energy systems were developed by a public-private partnership utilizing tax credits and incentives. This initiative shows that airports can embrace renewable energy in a financially viable way and increase the overall sustainability of their operations.

Airport Economizes on Food Residuals Collection Costs Portland International Airport – Portland, Oregon

In January 2002, Portland International Airport conducted two waste characterization studies in order to gain a better understanding of its composition. The studies encompassed one hotel and two flight kitchens and revealed that 35 percent of their waste stream was made up of compostable materials. The waste audit concluded that the waste stream contained mostly coffee grounds, produce, baked goods, and prepared foods such as rice and noodles. From these waste studies, airport staff was able to determine equipment needs and food residuals diversion potential of the partner businesses.

As a result of these studies, the airport implemented a full-time composting program. PDX, along with its partners, divert approximately 7 tons of food waste every week. As of June 2011, the airport has 20 airport businesses, flight kitchens, and hotels participating in the program; in 2010, the program diverted an average of nearly 26 tons per month. Additionally, PDX developed, tested and implemented one of the first public food waste collection stations of any airport in the U.S. In Concourse D, PDX established a set of waste receptacles allowing its passengers to dispose of their leftover burgers, fries, cookies and salads to a composting facility. The station also features a drain for ice and liquids, trays, co-mingled recycling and trash.

INTRODUCTION

Airport concessions and tenants are businesses that have selected the airport as the location for their business. They have signed a lease and utilize airport infrastructure and services. They are an integral part of any airport’s day-to-day functions, and therefore inherently part of the overall service any airport provides to both the travelling and neighboring public.

Airport concessions provide an important passenger service amenity while providing significant financial benefits to the airport. Concessions include news and gifts, specialty retail stores, food and beverage, duty-free shops and many other services. Passengers arrive early for a departing flight or they have time before their connecting flight to shop, grab a bite to eat, or relax in the spa. Many airports have become shopping destinations with retail and food options typical of a shopping mall.

Airport tenants include a wide range of organizations and services, ranging from advertising, car rental, hotel, airlines, government agencies, organizations providing aircraft and aviation services, organizations handling cargo and mail, aircraft owners and fixed-base operators and often non-aviation businesses as well.

The Sustainable Airport Manual (SAM) Green Airplane Rating System for Concessions & Tenants is designed to certify the sustainability of concession and tenant activities, including daily operations as well as design and construction of new facilities within the terminals.

This chapter is divided into two types of activities:

Design & Construction - Pertains to the build-out or interior renovations within the terminals or existing buildings

Operations & Maintenance - Pertains to all tenants with customer/passenger interaction

Due to the variation in the types of tenants, general tenant types have been defined based on their location and general nature of service. These are defined as:

Design & Construction

Terminal Food Service Tenants: Concessionaires and tenants located within the terminal or other existing conditioned spaces that provide food services for a majority of their operations to passengers or customers. Examples include but are not limited to restaurants, taverns, snack shops, coffee shops, and bakeries.

Terminal Non-Food Service Tenants: Concessionaires and tenants located within the terminal or other existing conditioned space that do not provide food services for a majority of their operations to passengers or customers. Examples include but are not limited to book stores, gift shops, newspaper stands, and other retail merchandise venues.

Operations & Maintenance

Food Service Tenant: Concessionaires and tenants located within the terminal or other existing conditioned spaces that provide food services for a majority of their operations to passengers or

customers. Examples include but are not limited to restaurants, taverns, snack shops, coffee shops, and bakeries.

Full Service: Tenants that have table service (i.e. a restaurant with a wait staff) and have some measure of control over the consumables and waste generated by the customers within their space.

Counter Service: Tenants that provide mainly carry-out service by means of a counter. While tables may be present within/near the space, the tenant does not provide service via wait staff.

To-Go, Kiosk: Tenants that sell food products from a free standing location, such as a kiosk. All products are prepared off-site and sold pre-packaged.

Non-Food Service Tenant: Concessionaires and tenants located within the terminal or other existing conditioned spaces that do not provide food services for a majority of their operations to passengers or customers. Examples include but are not limited to book stores, gift shops, newspaper stands, and other retail merchandise venues.

Buildout: Tenants that sell products within a space where the tenant has control over layouts, configuration, lighting, etc.

Free-Standing, Kiosk: Tenants that sell products in a free-standing area within the terminal corridors.

Non-Terminal Tenants: Tenants located outside of the terminal in existing conditioned spaces or buildings that service passengers or customers. Examples include rental car facilities not located in the terminal, fixed base operators, commercial developments, gas stations, and hotels.

Food Service Tenant: Tenants offering food service in a location outside of the terminals.

Non-Food Service Tenant: Tenants offering a non-food service or retail in a location outside of the terminals.

APPLICABILITY

SAM Concessions & Tenants (CT) focuses on the evaluation of all airport tenants who have direct customer interaction. Tenants who do not have direct customer interaction should refer to the Operations & Maintenance (OM) chapter of the SAM. Some tenants may have operations that include both non-customer interaction and direct customer interaction. An airline, for example, has both types of operations and would be evaluated under both chapters; the terminal activities (with direct customer interaction) would be reviewed following this CT chapter, while the OM chapter would be applied where no direct customer interaction occurs, such as activities at aircraft gates and maintenance hangars.

Given the nature of the construction activities that may go on inside terminal spaces or other existing airport facilities, all tenant build-out projects and minor interior rehabilitation not

CT-7

Rahm Emanuel Mayor



November 5, 2012

involving HVAC and envelope replacement, regardless of owner, would fall under the CT Design & Construction section. As an example, a Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) food court renovation would be rated under the CT chapter. In the case where a tenant is building a new, stand-alone facility, e.g. a car rental facility that is not within an existing airport building or terminal, then the tenant should use the Design & Construction (DC) chapter of the SAM. A tenant build-out involving an existing building where the core and shell are reused but the interior requires a major interior rehabilitation including HVAC and envelope modifications would also fall under the Design & Construction (DC) chapter.

CONCESSIONS & TENANTS SECTIONS

This chapter is split into two sections: the CT-Design & Construction section and the CT- Operations & Maintenance section. The CT-Design & Construction section only pertains to the build-out or interior renovations within the terminals or existing buildings. Any construction or major renovations of non-terminal tenant spaces would follow the guidelines of the SAM Design & Construction (DC) chapter. The CT-Operations & Maintenance section pertains to all tenants with customer/passenger interaction.

Tenants are rated on the achievement of credits depending on the appropriate category of the initiative/effort, based on sustainable elements included in the project from the following categories:

CT – Design & Construction

AP Administrative Procedures (applies to both types of tenant activities) 1.0 Sustainable Sites 2.0 Water Efficiency 3.0 Energy & Atmosphere 4.0 Materials & Resources 5.0 Indoor Environmental Quality 6.0 Construction Practices 7.0 Innovation for in Design/Construction

CT – Operations & Maintenance

AP Administrative Procedures (applies to both types of tenant activities) 8.0 Company Policy

NOTE:

In order to qualify for review within the Concessions & Tenants Chapter, the tenant must have direct customer/passenger interaction. Tenants who do not have direct

interaction should refer to the Operations & Maintenance Chapter. This chapter also applies to any CDA design or construction within the terminals

9.0 Responsible Procurement 10.0 Green Buildings 11.0 Energy Management 12.0 Waste Stream Management 13.0 Green Cleaning 14.0 Venue Specific Considerations 15.0 Innovation for Concessions & Tenants 16.0 Monitoring & Reporting

Each category contains a specific number of credits, against which each tenant or tenant project is evaluated in order to determine the total number points earned. The CDA recognizes that certain credits may only be applicable to some tenants, and for that reason the total potential points may vary from tenant to tenant. There will be floating point thresholds (i.e. applicable credits) for each tenant so as not to inadvertently penalize a tenant for not achieving points that would not be applicable. The percentage of points earned out of total applicable points is then translated into a rating. A list of the applicable credits is summarized in Appendix CT-A – Sustainable Airport Manual Green Airplane Rating System – Concessions & Tenants.

PROCESS

Within the Manual’s main body, each sustainable credit has five subsections: Intent, Requirements, Submittals, Technology/Strategy, and Case Studies, as described below:


Requirements: Specifies institutional, operational, and mechanical design or construction elements that satisfy the intent. The prerequisites must be achieved; the credits are optional, but contribute to the overall rating.


Technology/Strategy: Highlights specific ways of meeting the recommendations within the scope for each specific credit. Case studies where available, are presented to help guide the application of sustainable credits to Concession & Tenants projects and efforts. While the tenant may undertake the above Technologies/Strategies at other airports, for the purposes of this credit activities only apply to operations at CDA Airports. To aid with consideration of applicable strategies and technologies, they are organized into the following three categories; “Standard Practice,” “Recommended Practice,” and “Best Available Practice.”

o Standard Practice: These are requirements that may be due to standards, specifications, codes, general best management or construction practices. They are practices already in place, and SAM prerequisites, which also serve to meet sustainable goals.

CT-9

Rahm Emanuel Mayor



November 5, 2012


o Best Available Practice: These are strategies and practices that are expected to enhance the sustainability efforts of the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA), but are anticipated to potentially have an impact on the cost and/or schedule. Tenants are encouraged to explore the cost/environmental benefit ratio for such guidelines to the greatest extent practicable.


While not all strategies will be applicable, concessionaires and tenants are highly encouraged to think creatively and to consider the intent of each issue throughout the decision process.

SUBMITTALS

Sustainable Airport Manual (SAM) Checklists

Incorporation of sustainable elements into Terminal Tenant’s design and construction are tracked using the SAM CT-Design & Construction Checklist. Incorporation of sustainable initiatives and practice into Tenants daily operations are tracked using the SAM CT- Operations & Maintenance Checklist. The checklists are provided in Appendix CT-B – Concessions & Tenants Checklist.

In order to achieve points, certain requirements need to be met, as outlined in each credit. In some instances, studies and calculations would be appropriate. In other instances, this will be accomplished through product and material data or through referenced standards or specifications.

In addition to review of the checklist, the Sustainable Review Panel (SRP) will review any supporting documentation including calculations, specifications, and contractor’s submittals as needed to support the achievement of the credit(s). See Section titled Implementation and Review Process for detailed information about the SRP.


CONCESSIONS & TENANTS – DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION

The SAM Green Airplane Rating System for CT – Design & Construction uses a five tier approach to rating a tenant similar to the Design & Construction rating system. “Green Airplane Certification” symbols are used to designate achievement levels. The levels are:

The SAM and its supporting documentation are administered by the Sustainable Review Panel (SRP), which currently consists of representatives from; the CDA Management Staff, CDA Concession & Tenant Staff and Representatives, and Airport Planners actively involved in CDA projects. The composition of the SRP is intended to be dynamic depending on needs.

The SRP is responsible for the submittals with respect to sustainability and provides technical support. CT Design & Construction reviews will take place as needed while performance reviews using CT Operations & Maintenance can take place routinely, such as annually or on the anniversary of the tenant’s lease agreement. The SRP is responsible for the review and awarding of “Green Airplane Certifications” based on the extent of incorporation of sustainable practices as outlined in this Manual and as documented on the submitted SAM Checklist(s).

In addition, the SRP is responsible for presentations and training to tenants with respect to the application of this Manual. The primary tasks of the SRP are to oversee the application of the Manual and review submittals for their compliance with the Manual.

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

WaterSense™-certified fixtures and fixture fittings should be used where available. Use high-efficiency fixtures (water closets and urinals) and dry fixtures such as composting toilet systems to reduce the potable water demand. Consider the use of alternate on-site sources of water, (e.g., rainwater, stormwater, or air conditioner condensate), and graywater for non-potable applications (e.g., toilet and urinal flushing), as approved by the manufacturer, and for custodial uses.

Standard Practice

Chicago Building Code (CBC) meets the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct 1992)


Must exceed CBC (EPAct 1992) by 20% to meet prerequisite Use high-efficiency fixtures and valves, automatic flush sensors, aerators on

faucets and dual-flush toilets Use local generation of domestic hot water, as much as possible, to eliminate

long piping runs associated with recirculation piping. Unless connecting to an existing hot water recirculating system.

Domestic hot water for general plumbing fixtures should be designed for a temperature of 140°F maximum, but not less than 120°F


Install dry fixtures such as composting toilets and waterless urinals to reduce wastewater volumes

Use instantaneous hot water heating systems (i.e., tankless, on-demand hot water heating)

Use zoned or sub-metering to measure and audit water consumption rates at points of use

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

For some tenants, regulated loads will represent the primary energy use. For others, process loads will be the biggest energy use. In either case, look at the equipment and systems that use energy and identify strategies to reduce energy use. Consider first cost, maintenance, replacement costs, and any potential benefit or detriment to staff or customers when selecting strategies. Design the tenant space and systems to maximize energy performance. Use a computer simulation model to assess energy performance and identify the most cost-effective energy efficiency measures. Quantify energy performance compared with the baseline benchmark. Install energy efficient equipment, such as retail display lighting, dishwashers and enclosed refrigerator cases. Utilize heat recovery and heat rejection strategies. Work with equipment manufacturers to improve energy efficiency, particularly for volume build applications. Small independent tenants can use historic utility bills from similar stores, generic retail energy data, and data from their local utility or computer modeling. Regardless of the methodology used by any tenant in setting their energy budget, the credit narrative should include a description of the methodology used and assumptions made.

Standard Practice

The Chicago Energy Conservation Code (CECC 2008) currently requires that buildings meet the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) which has an alternate compliance path of following ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1-2004 standard with some exceptions. LEED 2009 and the SAM require the more current ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1-2010 standard.



Provide high-efficiency motors and variable-speed pumping systems Provide energy efficient lighting systems including LED, fluorescent lighting, solar

lighting and the use of lighting sensors or timers Organize circuiting of lighting and tenant space systems so that individual areas

may be separately controlled relative to daylight and heating/cooling zones Optimize architectural features for daylighting and glare control. Consider light

shelves, ceiling design, window placement, and window treatments Provide motion sensors in stairs, toilet rooms, storage rooms and equipment

rooms unless life safety is compromised Provide ENERGY STAR compliant equipment and appliances Use LED lighting, wherever applicable Optimize lighting controls for energy savings and function Provide daylight harvesting control systems Use high performance glazing (double glazed, low-e) and window systems Utilize high efficiency motors, generators and pumps where applicable

3.4 Enhanced Commissioning

2 Points

INTENT

Begin the commissioning process early in the design process and execute additional activities after systems performance verification is completed.

REQUIREMENTS

Implement, or have a contract in place to implement, the following additional commissioning process activities in addition to the requirements of SAM Credit 3.1 Fundamental Systems Commissioning:

Prior to the start of the construction documents phase, designate an independent Commissioning Authority (CxA) to lead, review, and oversee the completion of all commissioning process activities.


o The individual serving as the CxA: Must be independent of the work of design and construction;

Must not an employee of the design firm, though they may be contracted through them;

Must not be an employee of, or contracted through, a contractor or construction manager holding construction contracts; and

May be a qualified employee or consultant of the Owner.

o The CxA must report results, findings and recommendations directly to the Owner.

The CxA must conduct, at a minimum, one commissioning design review of the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR), Basis of Design (BOD), and design documents prior to mid-construction documents phase and back-check the review comments in the subsequent design submission.

The CxA must review contractor submittals applicable to systems being commissioned for compliance with the OPR and BOD. This review shall be concurrent with A/E reviews and submitted to the design team and the Owner.

The CxA or other project team members must develop a systems manual that gives future operating staff the information needed to understand and optimally operate the commissioned systems.

CT-37

Rahm Emanuel Mayor



November 5, 2012

The CxA or other project team members must verify that the requirements for training operating personnel and tenant space occupants are completed.

The CxA must be involved in reviewing the operation of the space with occupants within 10 months after substantial completion. A plan for resolving of outstanding commissioning-related issues must be included.

Over 8,000 tons of food waste produced each year at Los Angeles International Airport is being used to produce methane gas which is then recycled and turned into electricity. This complex process involves food being ground up and mixed with water, creating slurry, which is then heated up into methane gas and carbon dioxide. Eventually this is transferred offsite to an adjacent power generation plant and converted into electricity.

Note that the requirements of this credit are very similar to the Chicago construction waste ordinance and CDA/OMP Specification 01524 with the exceptions as noted above. The specification follows the City ordinance with additional provisions for submittal requirements and project applicability.

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Note that the City of Chicago waste ordinance mandates that a minimum of 50% of construction and demolition (C&D) waste produced on-site (as measured by weight) is recycled.

It is expected that these practices may lead to savings in material costs due to resource coordination and income generation from recycled/salvaged materials.

Standard Practice

Utilize designated areas for recycling construction debris on-site


Establish goals for diversion from disposal in landfills and incineration facilities and adopt a construction waste management plan to achieve these goals

Consider recycling cardboard, metal, brick, mineral fiber panel, concrete, plastic, wood, glass, gypsum wallboard, carpet and insulation

Construction debris processed into a recycled content commodity that has an open market value (e.g., wood derived fuel [WDF], alternative daily cover material, etc.) may be applied to the construction waste calculation

Designate a specific area(s) on the construction site for segregated collection and labeling of recyclable materials, and track recycling efforts throughout the construction process

Identify construction haulers and recyclers to handle the designated materials. Note that diversion may include donation of materials to charitable organizations and salvage of materials on-site

4.4 Recycled Content

1 to 2 Points

INTENT

Increase demand for building products that incorporate recycled content materials, thereby reducing impacts resulting from extraction and processing of virgin materials.

REQUIREMENTS

Use materials with recycled content such that the sum of post-consumer recycled content plus 1/2 of the pre-consumer content constitutes at least 10% or 20%, based on cost, of the total value of the materials in the project. The minimum percentage materials recycled for each point threshold is as follows:

SAM Credit Recycled Content Points

4.4.1 10% 1

4.4.2 20% 2

The recycled content value of a material assembly is determined by weight. The recycled fraction of the assembly is then multiplied by the cost of assembly to determine the recycled content value. If specific material cost is not available, assume 45% of total cost (inclusive of materials, labor and equipment) is representative of the material cost.


Mechanical, electrical and plumbing components and specialty items such as elevators cannot be included in this calculation. Include only materials permanently installed in the project.

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Establish a project goal for recycled content materials, and identify material suppliers that can achieve this goal. During construction, ensure that the specified recycled content materials are installed. Consider a range of environmental, economic and performance attributes when selecting products and materials.

Standard Practice

It has become commonplace for manufacturers to provide recycled content of their building materials. If the information does not exist or cannot be obtained, CDA allows the use of the following recycled content percentages as a default for some of the common construction materials:

Material Post-consumer Pre-consumer

Steel 25% -

Copper 65% -

Aluminum 80% -

Reinforced concrete pipe 2% -

Asphaltic paving materials, conventional

45% 45%

Asphaltic paving materials, with roof shingles

67% 45%

Post-consumer Recycled Content is derived from materials that can no longer be used for their original purpose. Pre-consumer Recycled Content consists of raw material diverted from the waste stream during the manufacturing process.

Note that the values in the table above are typically very conservative. For example, depending on the process used to make the steel, the recycled content can be anywhere from 25% to 35% for steel produced in a basic oxygen furnace to almost 100% in an electric arc furnace.3 For this reason, the designers and contractors are encouraged to determine this information directly from the manufacturers and to not rely on these default values whenever possible.

An additional point can be achieved if 50% of the materials are extracted/harvested/recovered, as well as manufactured, within 250 miles of the project site. The minimum percentage of local/regional materials for each point threshold is as follows:


4.5.1 10% 1

4.5.2 20% 2

4.5.3 50% within 250 miles 3

If specific material cost is not available, assume 45% of total cost (inclusive of materials, labor and equipment) is representative of the material cost.

CASE STUDIES

Construction Mitigation Program Oakland International Airport – Oakland, California

During the airport’s Terminal Improvement Program, a number of mitigation efforts were implemented to reduce the construction impact on contractors, tenants, and travelers. A major component of these efforts involves a comprehensive checklist enforcing compliance with these practices. This checklist includes the evaluation of existing measures, the identification of measures that may require revision, and development of recommendations for corrective action.


Green Restaurant Green McDonald’s – Cary, North Carolina An indoor air quality management plan was implemented during construction and a pre-occupancy flush out involving MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) 13 air filters was carried out to ensure good air quality prior to occupancy. The ventilation system provides 30 percent more ventilation than the ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers) 2004 standards prescribe and carbon dioxide sensors were installed at various heights throughout the building to monitor indoor air quality.

1 Point

INTENT

Reduce indoor air quality problems resulting from the construction/renovation process in order to help sustain the comfort and well-being of construction workers and tenant space occupants.

REQUIREMENTS

OPTION 1 — Flush-Out

After construction ends, prior to occupancy and with all interior finishes installed, perform a flush-out by supplying a total air volume of 14,000 cu.ft. of outdoor air per sq.ft. of floor area while maintaining an internal temperature of at least 60 degrees F and relative humidity no higher than 60%.

OR

If occupancy is desired prior to completion of the flush-out, the space may be occupied following delivery of a minimum of 3,500 cu.ft. of outdoor air per sq.ft. of floor area to the space. Once a space is occupied, it shall be ventilated at a minimum rate of 0.30 cfm/sq.ft. of outside air or the design minimum outside air rate determined section 5.1, whichever is greater. During each day of the flush-out period, ventilation shall begin a minimum of three hours prior to occupancy and continue during occupancy. These conditions shall be maintained until a total of 14,000 cu.ft./sq.ft. of outside air has been delivered to the space.

NOTE: All finishes must be installed prior to flush-out.

OR

OPTION 2 — Air Testing

6.1.2 Alternative Transportation During Construction: Low-Emitting & Fuel-Efficient Vehicles, 10%

1 Point

INTENT

Reduce emissions from on-road construction vehicles (examples include foreman pickups or shuttle buses).

REQUIREMENTS

The contractor must use fuel efficient and low-emitting vehicles for at least 10% of all on-road, contractor-owned construction vehicles that access the project site more than five calendar days per month. To meet this requirement, the vehicles must have an Air Pollution Score or a Greenhouse Gas Score of 6 or greater according to the EPA Green Vehicle Guide. A partial list of heavier duty vehicles (pick-ups and SUVs) for the 2012 model year that meet these requirements are shown below for reference:











Note: CVT – Continuously Variable Transmission SUBMITTALS


TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

The ratings are based on the Green Vehicle Guide that is prepared annually by the EPA (www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/Index.do). The Air Pollution Score is based on the government emission standards for which the vehicle was certified to comply with and reflects vehicle tailpipe emissions that contribute to local and regional air pollution, creating problems such as haze, and health issues. This score reflects fuel lifecycle emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases. The scores are on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest rating.

6.2 Construction Noise and Acoustical Quality

1 Point

INTENT

Improve the exterior noise quality during construction affecting residential areas or other noise sensitive areas.

REQUIREMENTS

Although the City of Chicago has an environmental noise ordinance (Article XXI – Environmental Noise and Vibration Control), it does not apply to construction or demolition work on public improvements authorized by a government body or agency (City Ordinance 11-4-2835).

The requirements of this credit will only apply to noise disturbances that are in the terminal area. Noise disturbances are defined as any sound which is audible at a distance of 600 feet from its source or any sound which generates a sound pressure level in the public way exceeding 70 dB(A) when measured 10 feet from the source (City Ordinance 11-4-2710).

To achieve a point under this credit, the following requirements must be met during construction for those sites that are near noise sensitive areas as defined by the Chicago City Ordinance:

Meet the noise restrictions listed in the Chicago City Ordinance (XXI, Part B) which include, but are not limited to, noise from mechanical stationary sources (11-4-2810), loading and unloading operations (11-4-2830), and construction equipment (11-4-2835) during nighttime hours.

OR

Implement a noise abatement or noise mitigation plan that identifies site specific, mechanical, structural or operational measures to reduce noise disturbances in noise sensitive areas adjacent to the project site.

SUBMITTALS

Although not required for the sustainable design checklist, indicate noise sensitive areas on plans to aid contractor in determining the best noise mitigation strategies.

For the sustainable construction checklist, the contractor must indicate that the requirements of the Chicago Environmental Noise Ordinance have been met or submit a noise mitigation plan identifying the measures taken to reduce noise disturbances in the affected areas.

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

The primary paragraph related to construction activities is Chicago City Ordinance 11-4-2835 which states that no fuel or electric powered mechanical equipment may be used during the hours of 8:00pm and 8:00am and within 600 feet of a residential area or hospital. The ordinance

CT-101

Rahm Emanuel Mayor



November 5, 2012

further states that public improvements authorized by a government agency, like the OMP, are not subject to this ordinance, however, a point will be given under this credit for those projects that choose to comply with the above mentioned ordinance.

There are numerous noise mitigation methods that can be employed some of which are site or equipment specific. The easiest method of noise mitigation is to locate the noise source in an area that is not noise sensitive and to conduct that work during daytime hours, 8:00am to 8:00pm. Where this is not possible, temporary barriers can be erected to mitigate the noise emanating from a source.

For reference, see Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Section 721.560 – Construction Noise Control.

6.3 Sustainable Temporary Construction Materials

1 Point

INTENT

Reduce the use and depletion of finite raw materials and long-cycle renewable materials by replacing them with high recycled content, rapidly renewable materials and FSC certified wood products for temporary uses during construction.

REQUIREMENTS

Temporary construction materials include, but are not limited to, any materials that are used for construction that are not incorporated into the final development such as formwork, temporary carpentry, and signage. For the purposes of this calculation, only the material cost, excluding labor and equipment, shall be used. In order to meet the requirements of this credit, one of the following requirements must be met:

Using a recycled content calculation similar to SAM Credit 4.4 Recycled Content, determine the percentage of recycled content in the temporary construction materials based on overall temporary construction material cost. To achieve a point in this credit, the overall recycled content of the temporary construction materials must be 30% or greater by cost.

OR

Using a rapidly renewable content calculation similar to SAM Credit 4.6 Rapidly Renewable Materials determine the percentage of the rapidly renewable materials based on overall temporary construction material cost. To achieve a point in this credit, the overall recycled content of the temporary construction materials must be 10% or greater by cost.

OR

Using a certified wood calculation similar to SAM Credit 4.7 Certified Wood, determine the percentage of certified wood materials based on the total wood-based material cost. To achieve a point in this credit, the overall recycled content of the temporary construction materials must be 60% or greater by cost.

Do not count temporary construction materials under any of the credits in Section 4.0 – Materials & Resources.

SUBMITTALS

Although not required for the CT Design Checklist, include specification sections that indicate how these requirements are met.

For the CT Construction Checklist, the contractor must provide a calculation of the actual materials used indicating that at least one of the above requirements was met.

CT-103

Rahm Emanuel Mayor



November 5, 2012

Use calculation templates similar to the SAM Credits in Section 4.0 – Materials & Resources as appropriate.

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Many temporary construction materials can help achieve the requirements of this credit. Although not tracked by LEED, CDA has added this credit in order to promote the use of such materials during construction, as well as for final development stages of a project.

Standard Practice

Although many temporary construction materials meet the requirements of this credit, their use is typically not tracked or promoted. The designer is encouraged to specify sustainable materials in construction wherever possible. The contractor is further encouraged to use these types of materials in the cases where they may not be explicitly specified.


Materials that may have high recycled content include, but are not limited to:

Temporary steel structures or materials Metal barricades Temporary piping (HDPE, ductile iron) Steel formwork

Materials that have rapidly renewable materials include, but are not limited to:

Rapidly Renewable Finishes – Use rapidly renewable materials such as bamboo, strawboard, wheatboard, cork, etc. within the tenant space

Instantaneous Hot Water Heating – Use demand, tankless, instantaneous water heating technology

For Non-Terminal Tenants: o Construction Equipment Retrofit – Retrofit all construction equipment over 50 hp

and on site for more than 14 calendar days per month to EPA Tier 3 emission standards

o Photovoltaics – Use photovoltaic systems to generate electricity. System must generate 0.5 kW or greater

o Geothermal Heating/Cooling – Any geothermal system to provide heating and cooling is acceptable

o Wind Power – Generate on-site electricity using wind turbines, horizontal or vertical. System must generate 0.5 kW or greater

o Rainwater Harvesting – Use cisterns, rain barrels, or other vessels to store rain water for other uses including, but not limited to, irrigation, vehicle washing, and other general, non-potable uses. The harvested rainwater must have an intended use. Minimum storage capacity is 200 gallons.

CT-106

Rahm Emanuel Mayor



November 5, 2012

o Permeable Pavement – Use permeable pavement such as concrete, asphalt, or pavers, for at least 5% of the total pavement area of the project not subject to aircraft traffic or 1,000 sq. ft, whichever is greater

o Trombe or Solar Walls – Use passive solar preheating of intake air for space heating using wall systems or other building surfaces

o Green Walls – Use green, vegetated wall systems on exterior of building envelope for at least 25% of the vertical wall surfaces or the entirety of south and/or west facing walls, whichever is greater

o Warm-Mix Asphalt – Use warm-mix asphalt for at least 5% of the total pavement area of the project or 1,000 sq. ft, whichever is greater

o Alternative Hot Water Heating – Use solar thermal for 25% or demand (tankless) hot water heating systems for 100% of the project’s hot water demand. Excludes process water demand.

SUBMITTALS

Include descriptive narrative and calculations in the SAM Checklist. Indicate in the narrative which of the above technologies and strategies are being included in the project and, where applicable, indicate where these items are shown in the drawings or specifications.

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Choose any of the following:

Green Walls – Vegetated green wall systems can result in significant air conditioning savings. Green walls fall in to two categories:

o Green facades: Made up of climbing plants growing directly on a wall o Living walls: Modular panels often made of steel containers, geotextiles, irrigation

systems, growing medium and vegetation LED Lighting – LED lights use up to 90% less energy than incandescent light sources,

have a longer lifetime, greater durability and reliability Recycled Content Finishes – Recycled content finishes use readily recycled materials

like glass, marble, stone, etc. that can be obtained locally and don’t require excessive processing like virgin materials

Rapidly Renewable Finishes – Rapidly renewable finishes are natural, non-petroleum-based building materials (petroleum based materials are non-renewable) that have harvest cycles under 10 years. Such materials include bamboo, straw, cork, natural linoleum products (such as Marmoleum), wool, wheatboard, strawboard, etc.

Instantaneous Hot Water Heating – Instantaneous hot water heating technology uses include demand, instantaneous, or tankless water heaters. Demand water heaters heat water directly without the use of a storage tank thus avoiding the standby heat losses associated with conventional storage tank water heaters. When a hot water tap is turned on, cold water travels through a pipe into the unit. Either a gas burner or an electric

CT-107

Rahm Emanuel Mayor



November 5, 2012

element heats the water as it passes through coiled piping within the unit. As a result, demand water heaters deliver a constant supply of hot water not limited by the volume of a storage tank.

For Non-Terminal Tenants: o Construction equipment retrofit – The use of particulate traps and catalysts to

meet more stringent EPA emissions standards for older construction equipment o Photovoltaics – Photovoltaic or solar-electric systems may be ground-mounted,

roof-mounted, or built into the roof or walls of a building, known as building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV)

o Geothermal heating/cooling systems – Any geothermal system to provide heating and cooling is an acceptable strategy

o Wind power – Generate on-site electricity using wind turbines, horizontal or vertical

o Rainwater harvesting – Collecting rainwater from the many roofs at an airport would provide a large source of clean non-potable water. Although the supply would far exceed the demand, the use of harvested rainwater should be taken on a site-specific case by case basis. Although airport irrigation is limited to ornamental planters, other uses such as vehicle washing may be amenable to this technology.

o Permeable pavement – The amount of pavement at an airport makes permeable pavement an attractive application for the management of stormwater. Although major pavement areas such as runways, taxiways, and apron areas cannot include permeable pavement, there is a significant amount of non-aviation related pavement areas. Using permeable pavement, unit pavers or permeable asphalt or concrete, may also further contribute to the sustainability of a project because these materials can contain high recycled content materials that are locally available, and may reduce heat island effects for non-roof areas, in addition to their stormwater management aspects. All three of these types of pavements have been demonstrated and are being used by the City of Chicago in its Green Alley Program under the direction of Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT).

o Trombe or Solar walls – These systems use solar energy to heat a thermal mass, usually a concrete wall or an air gap between an interior wall and a dark-colored exterior surface, as means to preheat intake air. On very cold days, the heating system can condition preheated air rather than putting the additional energy in heating cold outside air, thereby realizing an energy savings. In some cases, the wall may also have a photovoltaic component that generates electricity.

o Green Walls – Vegetated green wall systems on exterior of building envelope can reduce wall surface temperatures by as much as 18°F (depending on which direction it is facing), which also results in significant air conditioning savings, while reducing the heat island effect

CT-108

Rahm Emanuel Mayor



November 5, 2012

o Warm-Mix Asphalt - Warm-mix asphalt allows the producers of hot-mix asphalt pavement material to lower the temperatures at which the material is mixed and placed on the road. Reductions of 50°F to 100°F have been documented. Such drastic reductions have the obvious benefits of cutting fuel consumption and decreasing the production of greenhouse gases. In addition, engineering benefits include better compaction on the road, the ability to haul paving mix for longer distances, and extending the paving season by being able to pave at lower temperatures.

o Water heating – Solar thermal hot water heating technology uses a solar collector which is simply a heat exchanger designed to convert the sun’s radiant light energy into thermal energy to be stored for later use. This collector uses optics and parabolic concentration technology to heat the fluid media passing through the selectively coated tubing manifold. The fluid media is circulated, via a pump, through the collector and into a storage tank located within the home/building. Other water heating technologies that are encouraged include demand, instantaneous, or tankless water heaters. Demand water heaters heat water directly without the use of a storage tank thus avoiding the standby heat losses associated with conventional storage tank water heaters. When a hot water tap is turned on, cold water travels through a pipe into the unit. Either a gas burner or an electric element heats the water as it passes through coiled piping within the unit. As a result, demand water heaters deliver a constant supply of hot water not limited by the volume of a storage tank.

REQUIREMENTS

Provide individual comfort controls for 50% (minimum) of the occupants to enable adjustments to suit individual task needs and preferences. Operable windows can be used in lieu of comfort controls for occupants of areas that are 20 feet inside of and 10 feet to either side of the operable part of the window. The areas of operable window must meet the requirements of ASHRAE 62.1-2010 paragraph 5.1 Natural Ventilation.

AND



SUBMITTALS


TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Ensure tenant space and systems have comfort controls to allow adjustments to suit individual needs or those of groups in shared spaces. ASHRAE Standard 55-2004 identifies the factors of thermal comfort and a process for developing comfort criteria for tenant spaces that suit the needs of the occupants involved in their daily activities. Control strategies can be developed to expand on the comfort criteria to allow adjustments to suit individual needs and preferences.

These strategies may involve system designs incorporating operable windows, hybrid systems integrating operable windows and mechanical systems, or mechanical systems alone. Individual adjustments may involve individual thermostat controls, local diffusers at floor, desk or overhead levels, or control of individual radiant panels, or other means integrated into the overall space, thermal comfort systems, and energy systems design. In addition, designers should evaluate the closely tied interactions between thermal comfort (as required by ASHRAE Standard 55-2004) and acceptable indoor air quality (as required by ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2010, whether natural or mechanical ventilation).

2 points

INTENT

To reduce energy use while promoting continuity of information to ensure that energy-efficient operating strategies are maintained and provide a foundation for training employees and continuous improvement.

REQUIREMENTS

The Energy Management Plan should highlight the tenants’ plan for each of the following:

1. Measure - collecting data and analyzing total consumption for establishing an energy usage baseline.

2. Fix the basics - Fixing the basics typically consists of efforts, such as installing low-energy-consumption devices.

3. Automate - Ongoing energy-efficiency improvements can be achieved by automating and regulating building systems. Measures such as schedule-based lighting control and occupancy sensors automatically turn lights on only when they are needed in commercial buildings, while HVAC control regulates heating and cooling at optimal levels, which can change from day to day. More importantly, however, these measures facilitate an active approach to energy management, because they can be adjusted based on new energy-efficiency opportunities that arise in the future.

a. Timers

b. Sensors

c. Occupancy Controls

d. HVAC

e. Building Information Systems

4. Monitor and control - A strategic energy management plan also helps ensure that initial energy and cost savings don't erode over time.

Over 8,000 tons of food waste produced each year at Los Angeles International Airport is being used to produce methane gas which is then recycled and turned into electricity. This complex process involves food being ground up and mixed with water, creating a slurry, which is then heated up into methane gas and carbon dioxide. Eventually this is transferred offsite to an adjacent power generation plant and converted into electricity.

13.0 WASTE STREAM MANAGEMENT

13.1 Waste Stream Audit

4 points – Required for CT-OM Mentor Certification

INTENT

Determine the overall generation of various wastes produced and reduce ongoing waste and toxins generated by the tenant.

REQUIREMENTS

Conduct a waste stream audit of the tenant’s entire ongoing consumables waste stream for the performance period. Use the initial audit to establish a baseline that identifies the types of waste making up the waste stream and the amounts of each type by weight and volume.

As part of the waste stream audit, tenant will analyze their waste stream to determine weights and volumes of the following categories:

Items for offsite disposal or incineration Items for composting Items for recycling

SUBMITTALS

Include descriptive narrative and calculations in the SAM Checklist outlining the types of waste and the weight and/or volumes. Refer to the EPA’s website for waste audit worksheets.

http://www.epa.gov/osw/conserve/rrr/rogo/documents/airport-recycling-guide.pdf

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Understanding waste production patterns is an important first step to waste reduction. Work with your waste hauler or service provider to collect and analyze information on the amounts and types of waste generated by the facility.

Waste Research Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream

The program began when a group of employees dove into the company’s dumpsters to evaluate the amount and type of waste generated by the company. Their “research” gave them three types of trash to focus on: plastic, paper, and cardboard. They began shipping their plastic ingredient buckets to Vermont Republic Industries to be recycled and reused. Ben & Jerry’s production crew purchased a baler which helped in recycling cardboard to be used by paper broker companies. Through these measures, within one year of the inception of the plan, the company had already saved $17,000 in hauling and landfill costs.

INTENT

Further increase solid waste reduction within buildings to reduce the burden on landfills and minimize emissions due to transport.

REQUIREMENTS

OPTION 1 –

Using one year’s worth of data based on the waste stream audit, calculate reduction compared to baseline data (data from first review, waste audit) of waste sent to landfill.

Waste reduction beyond the baseline set by 1st year data will be awarded credits based on the following table:

SAM Credit Reduction of waste sent to landfill (by percent)

Points

13.3.1 5% 1

13.3.2 10% 2

13.3.3 15% 3

13.3.4 20% 4

13.6.1 Organic Byproduct Recycling: Food Waste

4 Points – Required for CT-OM Mentor Certification

INTENT


REQUIREMENTS

Implement a food waste collection program that provides a means of separating food waste that is not fit for human consumption from the rest of the waste stream and finds other uses for the waste (i.e. composting, animal feed stock, anaerobic digestion, etc.).

SUBMITTALS

Include descriptive narrative on SAM Checklist detailing the storage, collection and disposal of food waste within the tenant space.

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

With the implementation of increased security at airports, passengers are spending an increased amount of time at the airport and in turn creating more waste. In conjunction with the Airport, tenants should commit to reducing the amount of waste that eventually arrives at the landfills.

Standard Practice

None


Collect items such as vegetable trimmings and used paper towels/napkins to be used as high nutrient fertilizer in the production of organic food and fiber


Once the food waste has left the Airport it can be taken to a plant where it is then ground up into tiny particles. Through an accelerated process the organic materials are broken down and produce methane gas and carbon dioxide. The methane gas can then be piped to a power generation plant and converted into electricity.

13.7 Surplus Food Sent to Local Organizations

2 Points

INTENT

Increase tenant’s social responsibility by donating surplus food to local hunger relief organizations.

REQUIREMENTS

Unused (wrapped and packaged) food that would otherwise be discarded should be donated to local food banks. Tenants should follow the organization’s guidelines as to the storage, preparation and donation of food.

SUBMITTALS

Include descriptive narrative on SAM Checklist detailing the amount of unused food that was donated and to which organizations.

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Efforts need to be undertaken to ensure that waste generated at airports does not all ultimately end up in area landfills. Food scraps and unused food account for a large portion of an airport’s waste stream. Creative waste solutions to minimize contributions to airports are needed, especially for perishable foods.

Tenant should donate unused food products to a local food bank, shelter, etc. The Good Samaritan Food Donation Act offers protection to citizens, businesses and nonprofit organization that proceed in good faith to donate, recover and distribute excess food. It promotes food recovery by limiting liability to acts of gross negligence or intentional misconduct (such as donating food from which others have already become ill) and absent these, donors and others shall not be subject to civil or criminal liability arising from the nature, age, packaging or condition of apparently wholesome food or apparently fit grocery products received as donations.

Standard Practice

1 to 5 Points

INTENT

Facilitate the reduction of waste generated from aircraft that are hauled to and disposed of in landfills.

REQUIREMENTS

Up to 5 points may be awarded by achieving any of the following measures locally:


Recycling of Glass, Aluminum, Mixed Paper, Plastics 1

Recycling of Food Waste (including coffee grounds) 1

Repurposing of Goods (including magazines, newspapers, pillows, blankets)

1

Donation of Surplus Food to Local Organizations 2

These points are in addition to points earned in SAM Credits 13.6 Organic Byproduct Recycling and 13.7 Surplus Food Sent to Local Organizations. While the tenant may undertake the above Technologies/Strategies at other airports, for the purposes of this credit activities only apply to operations at CDA Airports.

SUBMITTALS

Include descriptive narrative on the SAM Checklist.

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Even with an airport-wide recycling program in place, there is the challenge of capturing recyclables from aircraft at the airport. Waste collection is the responsibility of the flight attendants, airline cleaning crew and flight kitchens but it is often a secondary concern to their other duties. Typically there is only limited time to clean the aircraft during turn-arounds and limited space for collection in-flight. A conscious effort by the airline must be taken for an aircraft recycling program to be a success.

CT-217

Rahm Emanuel Mayor



November 5, 2012

Due to the limited amount of time that can be devoted to deplaned waste, the tenant should first identify the types of materials that will be collected. Some examples include, but are not limited to:

Glass bottles Aluminum cans Plastic cups Plastic bottles Paper/newspaper/magazines Pillows Blankets Coffee grounds Surplus meals/snacks

It is best to use a single stream process to minimize the amount of time flight attendants will spend executing the program. By collecting all recyclables and storing them apart from waste that will be sent to the landfill, it allows for service crews to separate the recycled deplaned waste once it is unloaded from the aircraft.

CASE STUDIES

In-Flight Recycling Delta Airlines

Early attempts by Delta to recycle on flights had failed because, among other reasons, the flight attendants were not convinced that the material they collected was actually being recycled on the ground. To educate the flight attendants and assure them that their efforts were worthwhile, Delta created materials to show the recycling process and the goals of the program. They also developed a set of activities to support “continuous education.” Continuous education is provided by materials displayed in flight attendant lounges, as well as through online newsletters and posters with monthly recycling statistics displayed in the break rooms.

In 2009, Delta’s In-Flight Recycling program diverted over 2 million pounds (1,000 tons) of aluminum, mixed paper and plastic from domestic flights serving 29 cities. Delta continues to recycle an average of 1 million individual aluminum cans each month. In-Flight Recycling has fully funded the building of two Habitat for Humanity Homes (Atlanta in 2008 and Cincinnati in 2009) and will have a similar opportunities in 2010.

13.9 Repurposing of Goods

2 Points

INTENT

Promote the reuse of materials, equipment and products to reduce demand for virgin materials and reduce waste, thereby lessening impacts associated with the extraction and processing of virgin resources.

REQUIREMENTS

Whenever possible, identify items that can be donated, salvaged, refurbished or reused by a third party. This credit can also be achieved by utilizing donated, salvaged, refurbished or used items from an outside party.

SUBMITTALS

Include descriptive narrative on SAM Checklist detailing the types of products that were donated and to whom.

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Salvage and donation are important waste prevention strategies, since they reduce the need for the purchase and manufacture of new products and help keep materials out of landfills. Identify opportunities to incorporate salvaged materials into daily operations. Consider salvaged materials such as cabinetry and furniture, pumps, motors, electrical panels, fixtures and tanks.

The tenant may also identify items that can be sold or donated to other users. Consider items such as appliances, carpet, shelving, displays, non-perishable inventory

Standard Practice

None


Tenants should identify items for reuse and donate the goods:

Egg cartons, strawberry baskets, poster board, and other materials can be sent to schools or daycare centers for use in arts and crafts activities

REQUIREMENTS

Vendor will do away with the use of petroleum based plastic bags in favor of bags that are more environmentally friendly.

SUBMITTALS

Include descriptive narrative on SAM Checklist detailing the alternate option given to customers in place of petroleum based plastic bags.

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Due to the negative environmental effects there have been international movements to discourage the use of petroleum based plastic bags. Plastic bags use up natural resources, consume energy to manufacture, create litter, choke marine life and add to landfill waste.

Standard Practice

Ask the customer if they require a bag instead of automatically giving bags to every customer

Plastic Shopping Bag Ban San Francisco, California

In 2007 San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors voted to become the first in the United States to prohibit petroleum based plastic checkout bags in large markets and pharmacies. The ban still allows for the use of biodegradable plastic and recycled paper and is aimed to reduce the volume of bags given away by supermarkets. The “supermarket ban” prevented an estimated 100 million plastic bags from ending up in the area landfills. In 2010 San Francisco the city expanded the ban to now include all retailers, from small businesses, retailers and corner stores from using petroleum based plastic bags.

13.10.3 Reduction of Plastic Waste: Biodegradable Trash Bags

1 Point

INTENT

Reduce the amount of plastic that are sold and ultimately disposed within the terminals.

REQUIREMENTS

Tenants should use only biodegradable trash bags that once at a landfill break down at a faster rate than traditional trash bags.

SUBMITTALS

Include descriptive narrative on SAM Checklist detailing type of biodegradable trash bag used.

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Even given other initiatives to reduce the amount of waste, there inevitably will be waste generated that ends up in the area landfills. The combination of reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills and using trash bags that break down in the landfills will help decrease the massive amounts of garbage that are created.

The process behind the biodegradation occurs in two parts. First the plastic is oxidized, then microorganisms consume the plastic leaving behind "refuse" which is a reusable biomass which is both environmentally friendly and does not contain harmful toxins. All products then biodegrade and find their way into the waterways and the soil.

Biodegradable bags can be purchased at prices similar to the traditional trash bags used by many. However not all biodegradable bags break down in landfill conditions; some bags require oxygen to decompose.

Plastics are certified as biodegradable if they comply with ASTM D6954.

Standard Practice

None


o Eliminate the use of traditional plastic bags. Biodegradable bags will break down into CO2 and water when it is exposed to UV light, moisture, heat and microorganisms

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Employ strategies, materials and landscaping techniques that reduce heat absorption of exterior materials. Use shade (calculated at 10 a.m., 12 noon, and 3 p.m. on the summer solstice [June 21] that will be used as the effective shaded area) from native or adapted trees and large shrubs, vegetated trellises or other exterior structures supporting vegetation. Consider the use of new coatings and integral colorants for asphalt to achieve light-colored surfaces instead of blacktop. Position photovoltaic cells to shade impervious surfaces.

Consider installing high-albedo roofs to reduce heat absorption. SRI is calculated according to ASTM E 1980. Reflectance is measured according to ASTM E 903, ASTM E 1918 or ASTM C 1549. Emittance is measured according to ASTM E 408 or ASTM C 1371. Product information is available from the Cool Roof Rating Council website, at www.coolroofs.org. Also, visit the ENERGY STAR website, www.energystar.gov, to research compliant products.

Unless the reflectance is determined directly through in-situ testing, the following default SRI values are to be used:

MATERIAL SRI


Old (weathered) “gray” concrete 19



New Asphalt 0

Old Asphalt 6

Standard Practice

White roofs are currently the standard for new construction on airport property. These are acceptable; however, SRI decreases with the age of the roof. Unless a cleaning program is in place, the benefits of white roofs diminish over time. For this reason, along with the benefits of stormwater management, the construction of vegetated green roofs is encouraged.


Maximize light colored/high albedo pavement, such as Portland Concrete Cement (PCC), for roadways, parking lots, sidewalks and plaza areas. Reflectance must be a minimum of 0.3 (‘White’ portland cement – 0.7 to 0.8, typical PCC – 0.35 to 0.5, typical asphalt pavement – 0.05 (new) to 0.15 (over 5 years)). On an annual basis, test the pervious areas to verify the SRI standard is met as well as to depict improvement.

Install a vegetated green roof

CT-227

Rahm Emanuel Mayor



November 5, 2012

Evaluate and utilize an ENERGY STAR compliant roofing system, such as aluminum coating and light-colored coatings. Thermoplastic and white Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) roofing systems meet these standards.


Install trees consistent with CDA/OMP Specification 02905 – Sustainable Airport Landscaping, and for any proposed plant species not listed, consult an FAA certified airport biologist to ensure the plants will not attract wildlife.

Implement a creative combination of the above strategies to reach this goal. For example, a task/project can provide five (5) percent shading of dark colored impervious surfaces and 25 percent light colored/high albedo pavement to achieve this goal.

Install open grid pavement for surface lots and site pavement Install light-colored permeable pavers and concrete Install “green walls” for building façade

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Increasing oil prices, depletion of natural resources, and the accumulation of greenhouse gas emissions have led individuals to look into alternative means of fueling vehicles. As alternative fuels become more prevalent, it is important to provide alternative fueling stations delivering fueling options to the consumer.

With the popularity of alternative fuel vehicles, especially CNG powered taxis and buses, an airport environment provides an ideal location for fueling infrastructure due to the large number of vehicles accessing the site. Although CNG and electric are two common alternatives, others such as biofuels, LPG, hydrogen, etc. should also be encouraged to help drive the market where feasible. Fleet vehicles which are prevalent at airports are well suited to providing at least a startup market for these alternative fuels.

TECHNOLOGY/STRATEGY

Organize and implement initiatives or programs not listed above that have a social or cultural impact on the travelling public, employees, and/or surrounding communities.

Green Walls – Vegetated green wall systems can result in significant air conditioning savings. Vegetated green wall systems on exterior of building envelope can reduce wall surface temperatures by as much as 18°F (depending on which direction it is facing), which also results in significant air conditioning savings, while reducing the heat island effect. In interior applications, green or living walls can help regulate indoor temperatures, humidity, and air quality. Green walls fall into two categories:

o Green facades (outside): Made up of climbing plants growing directly on a wall o Living walls (inside): Modular panels often made of steel containers, geotextiles,

irrigation systems, growing medium and vegetation Alternative Water Heating – Alternative water heating for the purposes of this credit

includes two types of technologies – instantaneous and solar thermal: o Instantaneous hot water heating technology uses include demand,

instantaneous, or tankless water heaters. Demand water heaters heat water directly without the use of a storage tank thus avoiding the standby heat losses associated with conventional storage tank water heaters. When a hot water tap is turned on, cold water is heated directly by a gas burner or an electric element as it passes through the unit. As a result, demand water heaters deliver a constant supply of hot water not limited by the volume of a storage tank.

o Water heating – Solar thermal hot water heating technology uses a solar collector which is simply a heat exchanger designed to convert the sun’s radiant light energy into thermal energy to be stored for later use. This collector uses optics and parabolic concentration technology to heat the fluid media passing through the selectively coated tubing manifold. The fluid media is circulated, via a pump, through the collector and into a storage tank located within the home/building.

Advanced Wastewater Treatment – Onsite wastewater treatment is the collection, treatment and disposal or reuse of wastewater at or near the location in which the waste is generated. Onsite wastewater treatment systems provide preliminary, primary, secondary and tertiary treatment. The methods of treatment can vary but generally accomplish the same task. Systems are designed to be reliable and self-sufficient, however, the labor required to operate the system may be the largest expense. This, of course, is often integrated into standard facilities operation and management. Health, safety, and liability issues must be addressed early in the design process. Costs associated with the installation of these systems are generally offset by decrease in water demand, utility fees, or governmental grants.

CT-253

Rahm Emanuel Mayor



November 5, 2012

Kinetic Energy/Power Regeneration Systems – This class of systems converts kinetic energy or mechanical energy into electricity. There are a number of systems that accomplish this, the most common application being regenerative braking common in many hybrid vehicles. In this case, braking energy that would normally be lost as heat friction is instead converted to electricity and stored in a battery. Other systems include piezoelectric systems that convert pressure or vibration from, for example, footsteps or vehicle traffic to electricity.

Waste-to-Energy (WTE) Systems – These systems create energy in the form of electricity or heat from the incineration of a waste product. Most WTE systems produce electricity directly through combustion of a waste product, or produce a combustible fuel through the decomposition of a waste product. In the latter case, the typical systems are anaerobic decomposition of organic wastes, such as in landfills or sewage treatment digesters. Other direct combustion waste products may be derived from a nearby manufacturing industry, such as a saw mill (wood waste) or other flammable solid. In either case, the pollutants emitted must be addressed for this system to be effective.

Net Zero Programs – These may include water, energy, or waste. In essence, the loop is closed – there are no inputs or outputs of a given operation for a given stream, be it water, waste, or energy.

o Water reuse is achievable depending on demand and regulatory environment and may employ such technologies as graywater reuse, rainwater harvesting.

o Net zero energy has been proven for buildings where energy demand is produced onsite typically through photovoltaics of wind turbines and through energy conservation techniques.

o Net zero waste systems are more typical of a manufacturing process but there may be potential applications in construction materials for example.

Biological Systems – This category is a catch-all for systems that use living organisms to produce a beneficial commodity. The commodity is considered beneficial if it provides a use that has environmental, financial, or social benefits. This can include apiaries for the production of honey or vermiculture for the disposal of organic wastes.

Exemplary Performance – When achieving a high level of compliance with any of the previous credits, the SRP will evaluate any claims that go significantly above and beyond the requirements of any SAM credit. For example, for SAM Credit 9.5 – Sustainable Food and Consumer Products, the highest threshold achievable is 40%, however if the sustainable food and consumer products of a given tenant exceed 80%, an exemplary performance point may be claimed.

Other innovative technologies can be presented and will be evaluated by the SRP for final approval.

3 From the drop-down menu, select the appropriate tenant type: Terminal, Food Service, Full Service; Terminal, Food Service, Counter Service; Terminal, Food Service, To-Go/Kiosk, etc. The "Goal by Tenant Type" and "Points by Tenant Type" columns will populate based on your selection.

4 For those credits that were achieved, indicate this by putting the appropriate point in the “Points Obtained” column. Note that for “Prerequisite” credits, no point is achieved as theseare the minimum performance requirements for sustainability under the SAM. For prerequisites, insert a "Yes" for those that are applicable (some prerequisites may not apply for all tenants).

If the credit requirements for 6.2 – Construction Noise and Acoustical Quality are met, then insert a “1” under the “Points Obtained” column. For 4.1 - Prerequisite 1 Storage and Collection of Recyclables, insert a "Y" or "Yes" in the "Points Obtained" column to indicate compliance with the prerequisite.

5 In the "Narrative" column, describe the scope of work for the project relevant to this credit by replacing the ”Fill in scope of work” phrase with the appropriate description. ORFor credits that were not achieved, leave the "Points Obtained" column blank and describe the reasons for this in the "Narrative". Include any additional information such as estimated quantities and/or locations.


Under 12.4.4 - Optimize Energy Performance: Equipment and Appliances, fill in scope of work: "A total of 89% of all ENERGY STAR eligible equipment are ENERGY STAR qualified. This includes all computers and printers, kitchen appliances, and most copiers." Input 2 points in the "Points Obtained" column.ORUnder 12.4.4 - Optimize Energy Performance: Equipment and Appliances, fill in scope of work: "Due to the specialized nature of the computing equipment and peripheral equipment, only the kitchen appliances and copiers were ENERGY STAR qualified. The overall percentage of ENERGY STAR qualified equipment was only 25%. Therefore, the point was not achieved." Leave "Points Obtained" column blank in this case.

6 For some credits, supporting documentation, typically some form of calculations, will also need to be included, if applicable. See SAM for supporting documentation templates. In some cases, the SRP may require additional supporting documentation for the other credits during review process for clarification.


For 11.1 - Utility Meter Data, submit, with this checklist, water meter data (if available) .

7 SUBMIT THE ENTIRE CHECKLIST, INCLUDING SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION, FOR EVERY MILESTONE SUBMITTAL OR PERFORMANCE PERIOD FOR REVIEW BY THE SRP.
