1. The importance of process in high performance building design

2. December 2, 2013 High Performance Science and Engineering Complex in March 2016

3. The Vision for the Process Visioning a High Performance Building Truly high performing buildings, both in terms of technical metrics and occupant satisfaction, are the result of a process that is as carefully designed as the building. We propose two sessions to begin this process… Areas of focus will likely include: - Durability and maintainability - User friendliness - Resource efficiency (energy, water, land, materials, capital) - Indoor environmental quality - Waste issues - Site impact - Adaptability Marc Rosenbaum – Energysmiths / South Mountain Company

7. Load Reduction Passive Systems Active Systems Energy Recovery Renewables Offsets Priorities

8. Envelope measures: High performance glazing Internal load measures: Lighting Power Density (LPD) reduction by 30% Lighting controls (Occupancy, Vacancy and Daylight sensors) Airside measures: Active chilled beams in Labs, offices and conference rooms Radiant cooling and heating slab in Atrium and Cafe Konvecta exhaust air heat recovery system with adiabatic cooling 50 ton Medium temperature chilled water heat recovery through Konvecta for free winter cooling and AHU preheat Aircuity based Lab ACH reduction Evaporative humidification system for Vivarium Transfer air from non-lab spaces (in SEC and Robinson) to lab spaces in SEC Low velocity/low pressure drop fan system design Energy Efficiency Measures

9. Mostly, stuck to the process Mostly, stuck to our goals More consultant driven than we had envisioned Trying to anticipate transition to operations Reality
