|
|
3
|
- Site
- No Mow Grass
- Conserves fossil fuels by eliminating
the need to cut the
lawn.
- No mow varieties of fescue need little irrigation to sustain
themselves and are perfect partners with the other drought tolerant
native landscape species used on this project.
|
|
4
|
- Site
- Water efficient landscaping
- Restricts use of potable water
to establish plants.
- Once the trees and plants on
this project are established, the native species require no
irrigation.
- This saves thousands of gallons of fresh water every year.
|
|
5
|
- Site
- Natural storm water filtration
- 100% of storm water is held on site to replenish aquifers and prevent
erosion
- No new parking added
- Reduces the need for pavement and loss of biomass.
|
|
6
|
- Materials
- High recycled content in materials
- Local/regional materials
- Construction waste management
- Low embodied energy materials
|
|
7
|
- Indoor Environment Quality
- High indoor air quality
- Thermal comfort controls
- Dynamic thermal environment
|
|
8
|
- Indoor Environment Quality
- Low-emitting material
- Curbs the release of harmful gasses in building materials (Volatile
Organic Compounds).
- VOCs come from thousands of products (paints, lacquers, paint
strippers, cleaning supplies, pesticides, adhesives, building
materials, furnishings).
- Concentrations of many VOCs are up to 10x higher indoors.
|
|
9
|
- Energy
- Designed for 30 to 35% more energy efficient than standard construction
practices and regulations.
- High efficiency lighting system.
- CO2 sensors monitor occupancy and exchange air only as needed.
|
|
10
|
- Energy
- The building will measure and monitor the performance of renewable
energy system as well as a few other building utility performances.
|
|
11
|
- On Site Renewable Energy
- (Pending) Photo voltaic panels to
produce 6.3kW
electricity.
- (Pending) Will produce enough power to light (63) 100 watt light bulbs.
- Solar power will offset building’s dependence on fossil fuel produced
electricity.
|
|
12
|
- On Site Renewable Energy
- Turbines in water faucets regenerate electricity that power the
electric eyes that turn water on and off automatically.
|
|
13
|
- Heat Recovery Unit (HRU)
- Uses separate blowers to move incoming fresh and outgoing stale air.
- Heats fresh air without mixing airstreams.
- Easier on mechanical systems.
- Uses less energy to heat outside air.
- 85% recovery of heat in outgoing airstream.

|
- Water
- Public access to
filtered water to
discourage use
of bottled water.
|
|
18
|
|
|
19
|
- Dual Flush Toilet Technology
- Larger trapway.
- Wash-down flushing design.
- No siphoning action.
- 40% reduction in water usage which exceeds
LEED
requirement by 10%.
- There are two ways to flush the toilets.
- The user determines how much water is used to flush the toilet.
|
|
20
|
- Thermoplastic Polyolefin Roofing Membrane (TPO)
- Eliminates heat island effect on roofs.
- White in color.
- Reflects heat from the sun.
- Reduces cooling loads on building.
- Reduces heat discharged into atmosphere.
- Requires less maintenance.
|
|
21
|
|
|
22
|
- Recycled Content
- Use less virgin or new material in manufacture of building materials.
- Recycled fly ash in concrete.
|
|
23
|
- Green Construction
- 20% post-consumer and pre-consumer recycled materials.

|
- No Smoking
- Indoor air quality is
preserved by adhering to
environmental tobacco
smoke control practices.
- There is no smoking within at least 20 feet of the entrances to this
facility.
|
|
33
|
- Pollution Prevention
- Protected against topsoil erosion.
- Controlled the amount of dust that became airborne ultimately affecting
the air we breathe.
- Post-construction areas of the site were restored to their natural
habitat having little or no impact on the local ecosystem.
|
|
34
|
- Light Pollution
- Full cut-off dark sky compliant light fixture reduce light pollution.
- Can light parking lot without any up-light component that can
illuminate the night sky.
- Also controls light “spill over “ that can encroach on neighboring
properties.
|
|
35
|
- Green Roof
- (Installation Pending)
- Roof tops designed to accommodate weight of roof top gardens.
- Will beautify the roofs visible from inside the CAC and across campus.
|
|
36
|
- Green Roof
- Planted trays of vegetation are perennial.
- Requires no irrigation besides annual rainfall.
|
|
37
|
- Green Roof
- Plant material acts as a barrier to reflect heat in the summer.
- Insulates heat in the winter.
|
|
38
|
- Green Roof
- Vegetated roofs reduce the heat island effect by not contributing to
the amount of heat that enters the atmosphere.
|
|
39
|
- Enhanced Refrigerant Management
- The building’s cooling systems do not contain compounds that contribute
to ozone depletion and global warming.
- Only non-ozone depleting refrigerants are used in the cooling equipment
in the CAC.
|
|
40
|
- Human Health and Safety for Occupants
- Lighting and heating system control.
- A green cleaning program is used for maintenance and operations of the
building.
|
|
41
|
- Education
- The building and sustainable strategies will be used to educate the
public and UWFox students
about the value of building eco-effective solutions.
