GREEN BUILDING AND SUSTAINABLE DESIGN EXPERIENCE

A. HVAC Systems:

1. Building Commissioning (Partial System Or Entire Building): Systems have included boilers, chillers, cooling towers, pumps, air handlers, heat exchangers, etc.

2. HVAC System Efficiency: Options that have been used before are high efficiency motors and equipment, variable frequency drives, heat recovery systems, high efficiency chillers, and absorption chillers.

3. Renewable Energy Sources & Green Power: Systems have included geothermal wells, photovoltaic, solar arrays, etc.

4. Indoor Air Quality: Systems have included high level filtration, air quality monitoring and control, increased ventilation over code minimums, commissioning of ventilation controls, etc.

B. Electrical Systems:

1. Lighting Systems: Energy efficient & day-lighting schemes utilizing either separate switching or lighting controls systems.

2. Light Pollution Designs: Exterior lighting design that does not exceed IESNA recommended lighting levels and optimize sky glow lighting benefits. In addition, interior lighting designs are controlled to eliminate light pollution and glare reduction.

C. Plumbing Systems:

1. Plumbing Fixtures: Use of water efficient plumbing fixtures (ie. water-less urinals, low flow toilets, lavatories, and showers/kitchen sinks for reduction of potable (domestic water).

2. Wastewater Designs: Use of low flow fixtures and faucets for control and reduction of sanitary water. These schemes also utilized the re-use of storm-water and grey-water for sewage conveyance.
