Executive Summary
Overview
The word “Green” has changed from a simple color that meant “go!” to a colorthat now defines every aspect of life. Green is a lifestyle, one adapted by individuals,
corporations and as in the case of this study, educational institutions. Purdue University
has aggressively involved itself in the green revolution. From hosting green weeks to
green experts, from recycling wasted cafeteria food to reducing paper consumption,
Purdue has made efforts every way it can to be an environmentally friendly entity. This
effort was elevated to new heights when Purdue declared its first green building. The
new ME wing was to be constructed according to LEED certification standards.
What is LEED?
LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. It is a program
that encourages the adoption of sustainable green buildings globally by providing a
certification system through ratings that identify environmental and health
performance. LEED sets a benchmark for design, construction and operation of green
buildings. It promotes sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas:
sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and
indoor environmental quality. LEED rating systems are developed through an open,
consensus-based process led by LEED committees.
ME Wing
Purdue’s first LEED project is the Roger E. Gatewood Mechanical Engineering
Wing. It will provide an increase of 55% square footage and cost $34.5 million
(Construction of the Roger B. Gatewood Addition). The building meets and exceeds
many of the requirements that LEED puts forth. For example, the location is not in a
flood plain and minimizes storm run-off. Extensive recycling has also been part of the
certification and the new LEED oriented design will ultimately cut the energyconsumption of the wing by 40% (Hawks). Design review of the old ME building are
under way to determine what changes it requires for a successful integration of the new
wing to meet LEED certifications. The cost of LEED certifying the building is $1 million,
which was donated to ensure that the building is a leader in Purdue’s Green building
future (Hawks).

Purdue’s Future with LEED
Following in the footsteps of the Roger E Gatewood Wing, Purdue is poised to
expand this green initiative across the campus. There are currently 3 other buildings
planned to be certified by the USGBC and those include Marriott Hall, the RecreationalSports Center, and Herrick Labs. The recreational Sports Center, a huge undertaking, will
cost $5.3 million and significantly increase the current floor space. Since the building is
large and would therefore consume enormous amounts of electricity, its certification
will conserve a large amount of resources and therefore fulfill the goal of the LEED
program.

IntroductionPurdue University was founded in 1869 and over its 140 years of being an
institution of higher education it has come to be known around the country and around
the world for its many outstanding programs and efforts. Purdue’s engineering program
and its business school as well as many of the other majors included at Purdue have
given it notoriety and respect from schools and businesses around the globe. However,
now Purdue is once again being a leader in an issue that has recently become a priority
for organizations and people everywhere, and that is being environmentally friendly.
Purdue has become very environmentally conscientious. They have begun several green
initiatives on campus and have even started an annual “Green Week”.
The main area where Purdue is at the leading edge of the environmental
revolution is its campus buildings. The University currently has two buildings being
constructed that will be LEED certified, which include the new Roger B. Gatewood
Mechanical Engineering wing and Marriott Hall. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design and
certification is determined by the U.S.
Green Building Council. Becoming
LEED certified means the buildings will
be very efficient and equally friendly
to the environment through all of the
phases of the building’s life. Moreabout LEED certification will be
discussed later. Purdue also has plans
to make at least three more of its
buildings certified as well. The first
building on Purdue’s
campus to ever become
certified will be the new ME wing which is scheduled to be complete by fall of 2011
(Construction of the Roger B. Gatewood Addition). Several things are being taken into
account as they are constructing the new addition such as the location of the building,
the aesthetics, the recyclability, and many more aspects. In order to obtain a high level
LEED certification all of these requirements must be met.
Although Purdue University is doing a lot to become “greener” there is still more
that can be done to lessen its impact on the environment, and this issue will also be
discussed.

LEED is the Future
What is LEED?
LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. The LEED green
building certification program encourages and accelerates global adoption of
sustainable green building and development
practices through a collection of rating systems
that recognize projects that
implement strategies for better environmental
and health performance. This system is a third-
party certification program and the nationally
accepted benchmark for the design, construction
and operation of high-performance green
buildings (LEED Rating System). LEED promotes a
whole-building approach to sustainability by
recognizing performance in five key areas of
human and environmental health which include:
sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and
indoor environmental quality (LEED Rating System).
Who uses LEED?
The LEED certification program is used by architects, real estate professionals,
facility managers, engineers, interior designers, landscape architects, construction
managers, lenders and government officials (LEED Rating System). Each of these groups
uses LEED to help transform the built environment to become sustainable.
How is LEED developed? The LEED rating systems are developed through an open, consensus-based process
led by LEED committees. Each volunteer committee is composed of a diverse group of
practitioners and experts representing a cross-section of the building and construction
industry. The key elements of USGBC's, or U.S. Green Building Council, consensus
process include a balanced and transparent committee structure, technical advisory
groups that ensure scientific consistency and rigor, opportunities for stakeholder
comment and review, member ballot of new rating systems, and a fair and open appeals
process (LEED Rating System).

Future LEED Buildings
There are currently at least four buildings planned to become LEED certified. The
new Mechanical Engineering wing will be the first LEED certified building on Purdue’s
campus. The new wing will act as an example for other future building projects that are
planned to become certified as well. The three other buildings planned to be certified
by the USGBC include Marriott Hall, the Recreational Sports Center, and Herrick Labs.

Roger B. Gatewood Mechanical Engineering Wing
The new Mechanical Engineering wing will be the first building on Purdue’s
campus to be LEED certified. It will provide 41,000 square feet of usable space in the
Mechanical Engineering building which is an increase of 55 percent square footage and
it will cost $34.5 million (Construction of the Roger B. Gatewood Addition). According to
Keith Hawks, the Assistant Head and an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering
at Purdue, there are many things being done to the new wing in order to obtain a high
level LEED certification. Mr. Hawks noted that the location of the building will allow it to
meet several requirements. These
requirements include the building
not being in a flood plain and
minimizing storm run-off. The new
wing also will get a highercertification because it is close to
many businesses, close to parking
facilities, provides space for bicycle
parking, and provides locations for
alternative fuel vehicle parking
(Hawks). Another thing being done
to the ME addition specifically to
meet LEED specifications will be to
install recycling rooms, small
showers for bikers, and energy
kiosks. The recycling rooms, small
showers, and energy kiosks will be
able to be added because there is
such a large square footage being added. The contractors have even been able to
design energy efficient devices in the HVAC of the wing with monitoring capabilities for
the energy kiosks. Since the project began, they have been able to recycle about 90
percent of the total construction materials used on site, which included the demolitionof a building. To further increase the certification level they are using LEED required
materials that contain low VOC's and certificates of origin. Also, before installing the
ducts in the building they must seal each of them, which is similar to what is done when
hospitals are being built. In the end, the total cost for making the new ME wing LEED
certified will be approximately an additional $1 million (Hawks).

Current Mechanical Engineering Building Upgrades
In addition to all that is being done to make the new wing LEED certified, the old
part of Mechanical Engineering wing is being upgraded and undergoing improvements.
The existing ME Building has been upgraded with a new fire alarm system to mate withthe new wing. They are also upgrading the
landscaping around the existing building to
blend it with the new landscaping for the
Gatewood wing. The connections between
the new wing and the existing building are
being upgraded for appearance as well
(Hawks). All of these upgrades will
improve the certification level of the buildingas a whole, however; a design team has been
assembled to determine what needs to be done
with the existing building to further meet LEED
requirements. According to Hawks, it will be
awhile before it is known what the design team
determines will need to be done to the existing
building (Hawks).
The Roger B. Gatewood wing will become Purdue’s first LEED certified building.
The things being done to the wing will cut the energy usage of the building by 40
percent of what it would be without the additional $1 million dollar improvements.
Therefore, the buildings low impact on the environment will cause it to become the
standard for all buildings at Purdue in the future (Hawks). All of the information from
this section was provided by Keith Hawks and his insight and assistance was greatly
appreciated.

Marriott Hall
Marriott Hall will be a part of Purdue’s Hospitality and Management program
(McClure). This building will be located between State and First streets on the
university's west side and will contain a restaurant demonstration classroom that will
seat more than 100 students, several new laboratories, a career center, a student
services area and reception space.
Figure 8. Marriott Hall Rendering (Marriott Hall)
Construction for this project has already begun. A couple of things were already
done to help raise this building’s LEED certification level. The first is the location of thebuilding. It is being built next to 26
thstreet which is a main road by Purdue and it
contains several city bus public transportation stops. On the location where Marriott
Hall is being constructed, there used to be four old houses. These houses were
demolished and much of the materials were then recycled which helped add points to
the buildings LEED score sheet (Marriott Hall Construction Update).

Recreational Sports Center
Another building project that will be applying to be LEED certified is the
Recreational Sports Center. The Recreational Sports Center was built in 1957 and is nowfalling behind most other Big Ten university’s fitness centers according to Howard
Taylor, the center’s
director. Purdue’s
Trustees approved a $5.3
million renovations and
expansion project for the
center which is supposed
to last from January 2011
until August 2012
(Schenke). The
renovation will improve
the cardiovascular fitness,
free weight, indoor
jogging/walking space and
group exercise/multipurpose spaces. Racquetball courts and gymnasiums will be
upgraded, and lockers, common space, wellness center, climbing wall, multipurposepool and healthy snack areas are also planned to be added (Schenke).

New Herrick Laboratory
An additional project in the planning phases to become LEED certified is an
addition and renovation of Herrick Labs (Norberg). The new building is planned to be
located adjacent to Herrick, south of State Street between Martin Jischke and Steven
Beering drives. An interesting thing about this project is that when these renovations
and improvements are completed, these
labs will be used to do research that will
help define the LEED-type classifications
of the future. The Center for High
Performance Buildings will create
technologies that make buildings more
energy efficient and more sustainablethrough fundamental and applied
research, while creating environments
that are healthy, comfortable and
maximize occupant productivity
(Norberg). All of the previous things listed
are important aspects of the current LEED
system.

Other “Green” Considerations
Designing a building that is energy efficient is a good start but ultimately the use
of the building is what determines how green it is. Therefore, there are other measures
that can be taken to increase building efficiency around Purdue’s campus. A recent
article in the news featured Duke University quoting their new campus policy on
temperature control in their buildings to conserve power.
(Duke Today ). When the buildings are not being used, the thermostats in the buildings
will be set lower in the winter and higher in the summer to use less energy.
Another thing that Purdue has started looking at and something that could
increase the efficiency of the new LEED buildings would be to install green roofs. Green
roofs have been a very successful measure in decreasing energy use. A barrier is
created between the roof and the environment using vegetation, allowing the building
to save energy while still keeping the building cool during summer.
Knowing and implementing everything stated in this paper regarding green
technology will help and is helping save energy and the environment. In order for these
technologies to be designed and used correctly, people who know how each of the
things work is essential. There is currently an “Architecture” class focusing on the
elements of design that make a building energy efficient. In effect, Purdue is training
future LEED experts!

Conclusion
Purdue’s efforts to become a more environmentally friendly campus have
significantly accelerated in the last few years. It began by introducing a green week
program which helped get the faculty and students around campus more aware of their
impact on the planet and things they can do to decrease the negative impact. Now, as
Purdue moves into the future it is planning and designing to be “sustainable”, “green”,
and other words that describe a state of being environmentally friendly. The university
has upgraded several of its buildings to become extremely efficient. In order to meet a
certain standard and be recognized for being efficient several of Purdue’s buildings will
apply to become LEED certified. The new Mechanical Engineering wing will be one of
the first buildings that will be certified when it is complete and it will act as an example
to the rest of the campus as well as other campuses around the country.

Annotated Bibliography
The objective of this white paper was to research and find all of the different things
Purdue University is doing and has done to create green buildings on its campus. More
specifically we looked at how the new wing of the Mechanical Engineering building is
being constructed according to LEED certifications, and Purdue’s plans to make more of
its buildings LEED certified. Information of what is involved in becoming LEED certified
was also researched and is included in our white paper. We will also looked at and
discussed other things the University could do in addition to the LEED requirements to
decrease its effects on the environment.

Interview Transcript Below is a transcript of the Full interview with Keith Hawks
1) Why was it chosen to make this project LEED certified?
1) Roger Gatewood, the major donor for the wing, wanted the wing to be LEED certified and was willing
to pay the additional costs to do so.2) What are some of the reasons that make the construction of the ME building
eligible for LEED certification?
2) The construction site for the wing was in a location to meet several of the LEED requirements for
such things as not being in a flood plain, close to many businesses, close to parking facilities, providing
space for bicycle parking, locations for alternative fuel vehicle parking, minimizing storm water run-off,
etc. We also had space in the wing for recycling rooms, small showers for bikers, energy education
kiosks, etc. We have designed energy efficient devices in the HVAC of the wing with monitoring
capabilities for the kiosks. We have to date been able to recycle close to 90% of all construction wastes
from the site, including the demolition of one building.
3) Are there any special materials being used on the project to help make it certified?
3) Yes there are many LEED requirements for special materials used in the construction of the wing. All
materials must be certified by LEED for low VOC's, certificates of origin, etc. All ducts must be sealed
before installation as if in a hospital construction setting.
4) Is there anything being done to the old section of the ME building that will
make it more environmentally friendly?
4) The existing ME Building has been upgrades with a new fire alarm system to mate with the new wing.
We are also upgrading the landscaping around the existing building to blend with the new landscaping
for the wing. The connections between the wing and existing building is being upgraded for
appearance, etc.
5) Will there be any upgrades to the old parts of the ME building?
5) The University has appointed a design team to assess what needs to be done with the existing
building to meet LEED requirements for it. It will be some time before we know what will be done to the
existing building.
6) Is there any extra costs to making a project LEED certified?
6) Making the new wing a LEED building will cost about an additional $1 million, which was funded by
our major donor.
7) Have there been any extra problems working with contractors when making sure
to keep the project LEED certified?
7) The major benefit will be the impact of the wing on the environment. We will be using at least 40%
percent less energy than standard design. Since we will be the first Purdue LEED building, we will
become the standard for all University Buildings.
