Background Background:

:

  • Up to 40% of energy consumed to heat or cool a building is due to

Air infiltration.

Goals Goals:

:

  • Implement a Zero Percent Air Infiltration System in order to lower the

infiltration values of the wall system significantly, analyze the impacts of the new system, and determine the feasibility of the new system in green construction practices.

Conclusions and Recommendations Conclusions and Recommendations

EHS New Science Facility

  • For this particular project an Air Barrier Wall System is not a feasible

solution to a more efficient building envelope.

Industry

  • In more extreme climates such as Canada, however, this type of system

has proven to significantly reduce energy costs associated with heating the building.

  • Annual cost savings of up to $6,000 have been seen by using similar Air

Barrier systems to reduce air leakage.

  • Could prove useful on other high performance/green projects in the

future.

Analysis II: Mechanical Analysis Analysis II: Mechanical Analysis

Background:

  • Fume Hoods in the laboratories and the recent adoption of the 2000

International Energy Conservation Code (ICC) by the state of VA were driving factors in this analysis

  • High performance Mechanical Systems can result in long term energy

savings as well as cost savings to the owner

Goals:

  • To maximize energy efficiency of the mechanical system by adding

sustainable upgrades

  • Determine the feasibility of such upgrades using DOE 2.2 cost

modeling and based on ROI to the owner and CM issues encountered

Analysis III: Storm Water Reclamation System Analysis III: Storm Water Reclamation System

Background:

  • In the United States approximately 340 billion gallons of water are

withdrawn from the sources available per day.

  • SWR Systems can reduce potable water usage on a project by up to

60% just by reusing rain water

  • A recent survey indicated that 69% of industry members have not

worked on a project with a SWR system.

Goals:

  • To study Existing SWR systems and their issues impacting

construction to better understand how to utilize such systems without incurring cost negating the benefits gained.

Analysis III: Storm Water Reclamation System Analysis III: Storm Water Reclamation System

What is a SWR system?

  • A system that catches rain water runoff and stores it in a storage

tank to be treated and reused in the building or irrigation system to reduce the amount of potable water required from the source

are correct before backfilling.
  • 2. Coordination with foundations systems to ensure pump vault is not in the way
and is complete before slab on grade is poured.

the building footprint)
