Q

Occupancy:

Study These Flashcards
A

Certificate of Occupancy has been issued.

20
Q

Integrated Project Team

Study These Flashcards
A

Key factor to success of IPD and requires communication and strong analysis.

21
Q

Systems Thinking Approach

Study These Flashcards
A

Recognize relationships between systems, goal is to not create an issue while solving another.

22
Q

Open Loop System

Study These Flashcards
A

Linear loop in which resources are extracted, manufacture, used then turned to waste. (Cradle to Grave) Less sustainable.

23
Q

Closed Loop System

Study These Flashcards
A

Circular loop where resources are extracted, manufactured, used, reused, and recycled. (Cradle to Cradle)

24
Q

Life Cycle Approach

Study These Flashcards
A

Considers entire lifetime of materials. Tradition building techniques use narrow approach considering only initial construction cost.

25
LCA
Life Cycle Analysis- | Measures life cycle according to energy, emission, and waste.
26
Embodied Energy
Energy consumed during different stages of material life.
27
Stages of Material Life (6)
1. Extraction 2. Manufacturing & Processing 3. Transportation 4. Distribution to End Users 5. Recycling 6. Disposal
28
LCC
Life Cycle Cost: | Considers all factors from initial cost, health issues, productivity, and potential to use after demolition.
29
Hard Costs
Costs related to construction phases. Paid to contractor and material supplier. (Concrete, Roofing, Finishing Material, Site Work, etc.)
30
Soft Costs
Costs outside construction site. (Architecture, Engineering, Permits, and Legal Fees)
31
Value Engineering
Cutting project cost often during construction, affecting the value of the project. Often times green technologies are value engineered out because meeting local building codes is most important.
32
Building Program
Goals and requirements set by owner/client. Includes goals, environmental vision, budget, schedule, and physical properties of internal and external spaces. Needs to be started Pre-Design. LEED refers to it as OPR
33
OPR
Owners Program Requirements (Building Program)
34
Flexible Design
Can support future building occupancy and needs. LEED suggests using existing buildings because of economic and environmental costs of new buildings.
35
Adaptive Reuse
Reusing buildings for a different purpose than what they were originally built for.
36
Regenerative Projects will: (6)
1. Support health of community and ecosystems. 2. Generate electricity and send it back to the grid. 3. Return water to hydrologic system cleaner than before. 4. Serve as location for food production and community networking. 5. Regenerate Biodiversity. 6. Promote relationships that link projects to whole system of life around them.
37
Regenerative Projects are:
1. Net Zero Energy 2. Net Zero Carbon Footprint 3. Water Balanced 4. Zero Waste
38
Net Zero Energy
Uses no more electricity than what it generates.
39
Net Zero Carbon Footprint
Net zero carbon emissions.
40
Water Balances
Uses only water from precipitation.
41
Zero Wastes
Reuses, Recycles, and Composts all waste.
42
Key factors in Project Location (4)
1. Availability of Infrastructure 2. Accessibility to mass transit. 3. Natural Factors (Water, Climate, Habitat, and Soil) 4. Availability of community services and it's connection to the project.
43
Credit Interaction
When making decisions about credit requirements team must understand synergies and tradeoffs.
44
Building Commissioning
Commissioning Agent ensures OPR is included in design process and that building systems are designed properly. LEED describes who can be project commissioning and their responsibilities. LEED must be commissioning of energy systems.
45
Operation Maintenance Program
(Facility Manager, Project Owner, & Occupants) How to operate and optimize building while preventing degradation.
46
Energy Star and LEED
Energy Star developed by EPA so buildings and appliances could be rated. Energy star buildings use 35% less energy. LEED is only for buildings and takes into account a variety of sustainable factors.
