Construction Exemplary Performance Lessons Learned Conclusion

4 Background Philadelphia, MS Small rural town No public transportation
Company Headquarters New Building Supply facility The goal of green design is to create high-performance buildings. Often called “sustainable design,” it evolved from a variety of concerns, experiences, and needs….. Energy efficiency gained importance during the 1970s oil crisis. Recycling efforts in the U.S. in the 1970s onward became commonplace and came to the attention of the building industry. In the 1980s, the “sick building syndrome” concept emerged and concern for worker health and productivity became an issue. The concern for toxic material emissions also became an issue that needed to be addressed. Projects in water-scarce areas began to focus on water conservation. Early green designs usually focused on one issue at a time, mainly energy efficiency or use of recycled materials. Green building architects in the 1980s and 1990s began to realize that the integration of all the factors mentioned here would produce the best results and, in essence, a “high performance” building.

Opportunity to learn, and better prepare for a constantly growing market. 9

10 LEED – Developed by USGBC US Green Building Council
Scores are tallied for different aspects of efficiency and design in appropriate categories: 1. Site Planning 2. Water Management 3. Energy Management 4. Material Use 5. Indoor Environmental Air Quality 6. Innovation & Design Process LEADERSHIP in ENERGY and ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN A leading-edge system for certifying DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, & OPERATIONS of green buildings The goal of green design is to create high-performance buildings.

11 Achieved Gold Certification 48 Points
Levels of LEED Ratings 52-69 points Achieved Gold Certification 48 Points 39-51 points Green Buildings worldwide are certified with a voluntary, consensus-based rating system. USGBC has four levels of LEED. 33-38 points 26-32 points The LEED Rating System is flexible, not a ‘one-sized fits all’ approach There are a few prerequisites all projects must meet in the Rating System, and beyond that project teams can choose which credits to pursue based on their environmental and performance goals as long as they meet the minimum threshold for certification There are 4 different thresholds for LEED certification to recognize varying levels of achievement: Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum Test

12 100% 76% 42% 76% Highlights: reduction of potable water for irrigation
potable water savings 42% energy savings 76% construction waste diverted from landfill 12

13 Green Strategies Highlights
Sustainable Sites SSc4.2 – Alternative Transportation, Bicycle Storage and Changing Rooms SSc4.3 – Alternative Transportation, Low-emitting & Fuel-efficient Vehicles

14 Sustainable Sites SSc6.1 – Stormwater Design – Quantity Control
Pervious Concrete Rainwater Collection BMP Strategies

15 Sustainable Sites SSc7 – Heat Island Effect, Roof and Non-Roof
White Metal Roof Concrete Pavement Trees for Shade Reduction of Hardscape Surfaces

16 Water Efficiency WEc1 – Water Efficient Landscaping

26 Lessons Learned Doable! Pays off, if: LEED Documentation may add time
Goals are clear from start Holistic approach undertaken Assessed from a life cycle cost basis Everyone buys into it from start! LEED Documentation may add time Materials and systems are more available Training is important Industry is evolving – need to keep up!

27 Conclusions Great learning experience! Worth the extra time and cost
Win-Win for all involved; learning experience, energy efficient building, healthy environment for users, lower environmental impact, positive marketing tool for Owner… First LEED Gold building in Mississippi!
