TAKE AWAYSAGENDA //

While renovation projects often have modest budgets and aspirations, every project is an

opportunity to move a client toward their vision toward the future of their research program.

1. Innovative solutions for developing a framework for organizational change.

2. Cost effective best practices that enable future adaptation of research space at minimal cost.

3. Benchmarks for energy efficiency and sustainability.

4. Strategies for upgrading building systems in existing buildings while maintaining scientific operations.

SUSTAINABILITY & FACILITY MAINTENANCEENERGY //

Tailor an energy efficient and sustainable solution to the specific building through investigation.

Buildings in the United States represent:

� 65.2% of total U.S. electricity consumption

� > 36% of total U.S. primary energy use

� 30% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions

� 136 million tons of construction and demolition waste in the U.S.

(approx. 2.8 lbs/person/day)

� 12% of potable water in the U.S.

� 40% (3 billion tons annually) of raw materials use globally

Labs 21 estimates that labs use 3;8 times the energy of conventional office buildings



• Use of water;saver plumbing fixtures at lab sinks

• Commissioning of building systems to ensure compliance with the design

• High performance lighting and controls to minimize lighting power loads

• User control of the lighting systems / task lighting

• Measurement and verification of HVAC system in order to record performance data and maintain equipment at optimum efficiency

• University recycling program

• Diverting the waste stream of construction demolition to be reused or recycled

• Reuse of existing lab casework, ductwork, and systems in new design

• Specification of regional materials and materials with recycled content

• Use of certified sustainably harvested wood

Takeaways

1)With the right people at the table, a project can be a

catalyst for connecting scientists even if it isn’t built.

2)Planning and communication are key factors in

maintaining operational continuity.

3)An energy efficient lab that can adapt to change can be

built on a budget even in an existing building.
