Coded Floorplan/Siteplan

3D View

1: Sustainable Site  1A: Construction Activity Pollution Prevention – prevent soil loss, sedimentation from moving into streambeds or storm sewers, and air pollution from occurring due to matter released during construction.  1B: Site selection – not built on farmland, land within 100 feet of wetlands, undeveloped land, etc.  1C: Community Connectivity – located within half a mile of dense neighborhood population.  1D: Alternative Transportation – parking capacity for carpools.  1E: Heat Island Effect – reduce the effect of heat islands by having 75% of roofing and pavement that supplies a high solar reflective index.

2: Water Efficiency  2A: Water Efficient Landscaping - plant species native to the area. (buffalo grass,  2B: Water Efficient Landscaping – no potable water used for landscape irrigation.  2C: Innovative Wastewater Technologies – reduce use of potable water by using water conserving toilets.  2D: Water Use Reduction – reduce potable water consumption by using low flow toilets, faucets, and showers.  2E: Water Use Reduction – use gray water system the uses harvested rainwater or recycled water from sinks and showers to flush toilets.

3: Energy and Atmosphere  3A: Fundamental Commissioning of the Building Energy Systems – all HVAC systems are installed, calibrated, and perform according to the owner’s specifications.  3B: Minimum Energy Performance – use energy star appliances for highest possible energy performance.  3C: Fundamental Refrigerant Management - no CFC-based refrigerants in HVAC system.  3D: On-Site Renewable Energy – use solar panels to supply at least 2.5% of the buildings yearly energy use.  3E: Enhanced Refrigerant Management – don’t use refrigerants that emit compounds that deplete the ozone layer.

4: Materials and Resources  4A: Storage and Collection of Recyclables – recycling area accessible to all occupants.  4B: Construction Waste Management – recycle construction material for use for other products.  4C: Regional Materials - use materials extracted within 500 mile radius for building.  4D: Rapidly Renewable Materials - use raw materials that take 10 years or less to regrow following harvest (linoleum, cork, wheatboard, wool, cotton, bamboo).  4E: Certified Wood - use 50% FSC wood.

5: Indoor Environmental Quality  5A: Environmental Tobacco Smoke – not allowing any smoking inside of the building.  5B: Outdoor Air Delivery Monitoring – ensure safety of occupants by installing permanent monitoring systems that sets off an alarm if ventilation system varies by 10% or more.  5C: Low-Emitting Materials - use low-emitting paint, carpet, and adhesives.  5D: Controllability of Systems – a minimum of 50% of occupants can control lighting and thermal comfort.  5E: Daylight and Views – 90% of all work areas have a direct line of sight through windows.

6: Innovation and Design  6A: Ice Storage/Reduce Peak Electrical Usage – use chillers designed so that they run at night during off peak hours to produce the ice that conditions the air during the day.  6B: Educational Building – educational materials such as books and a computer available in the building. Use green cleaning products.  6C: Innovation in Design - Use the highest absorptive ceiling for open plan areas, high STC panels, and sound masking, to achieve a superior acoustical performance.  6D: Innovation in Design – use low mercury lighting.  6E:Innovation in Design – use green cleaning products.
