Materials ConservationMaterials Conservation
Reuse:Brick: East facade
Glass: South & West Façade
Concrete: Frame & (Garage)
From the neighboring community:
• Large steel working industry• Brick is a dominant regional building material
Existing Structure: Less modification = more reuse
Reduce:Modular: Less waste
Surface Area Configuration:• Sphere is ideal; cube is most simple geometric form• Complex configurations use
more material per unit of volume.
• Finish materials = exposed structure
Recycled / Recyclable:
Steel 60% recycled content: • Scrap material based concept.
Example of melted guns or recycled car materials.
Housing scrap: • Recycled furniture, wood
flooring from row houses…Polyethylene, polymers & all
plastics: • (HPDE) made from recycled
materials but not recyclable• PTE: recycled nylon carpet• Styrene from recycled plastic
Organic Fabrics:• Rubber Tires
Glass & Paper:• Energy to reuse is high
Aluminum & Stainless Steel
Reduce Reuse Recycle

Goal: Carbon NeutralGoal: Carbon Neutral
Underutilized & Local:Pecan, Mesquite, Long Leaf Pine, Clay Brick
Certified:R.O. Martin: Only certified within 500 miles
Engineered:Parallam, LVL, MDF:
• Not Necessarily structural but utilized for trim & finish materials.
Underutilized, local materials, certified, engineered, smart low embodied energy
Smart:ETFB, Glass Technologies
• Electro chromic, electro thermal, glass reinforced polymers…
Low Embodied Energy:Local, Wood not Bamboo:
Carbon Balanced:Wood CO2 Producers = CO2 Sequesters
• Planting trees contributes if CO2 is unbalanced through design.
10% of the CO2 emissions produced in the U.S. comes from the concrete hydration process:

Shading Devices:• Louvers, fins, screens, etc.
Ventilation:• Summer – draws heat away from building• Winter – traps & stores heat as a thermal blanket
Vegetation:• Cools air before reaching building• O2 production & shading

By reducing lighting loads & other heat generatorsthe building energy loadcan be reduced by
More than 60%IES Lighting
Average wattage / s.f. = 2 watts / s.f. Goal energy wattage ≤ 1.3 watts / s.f.
Lighting load example:
Existing = 150,000 s.f.New = 150,000 s.f.
300,000 s.f.x 2 watts 600,000 wattsx 3.41 BTU/w 2,046,000 BTU÷ 12,000 BTU/ton
Lighting = 170.5 tons AC
Goal for lighting load:Reduce load to 1 watt / s.f. =170.5÷2= 85.25 tonsTarget Goal = .5 watts / s.f

Lighting StrategiesLighting StrategiesA. Better Lights : CFL, LED, Fiber Optic
B. Glare free Lighting : Task, Ambient lighting
C. Brightness Ratios : 70% walls, 80% ceilings, 50% work surface, 20% floors
D. Lighting Controls : Education, timers, sensors, photocell
E. Day lighting : Goal = .5 watts per square foot
Day LightingDay LightingGoal : Daylight factor for Louisiana sky vault = (1000 FL )(2%) = 20 FC
Strategies : 2% General Spaces / rooms5% Conference / Office8% Atrium / Lobby / Public Areas
Example: (85 tons)(≥ 20% goal for day lighting) = 17 tons 85 tons – 17 tons reduced from daylight = 68 tons for lighting
(60% improvement from 170.5 tons per IES 2 watts / s.f.)
