Transcript of 360° View of Sustainable Work Environments Group 14 Engineering & Ampajen Solutions.
Integrated Design / O+M Planning & Preparation Never too early! Green Champions “Trickle Down”
It starts with the team!
For Existing Buildings, Current Facility Requirements (CFR)
Consultant Generated = Bad Not Generated = Bad Arbitrary Targets = Bad A FMs tool for communicate existing
conditions Base Building Systems/Building Limitations Sole Sourced Vendors Company Culture and Programmatic Needs
Owner’s Project Requirements
Identify Strategies that Achieve Sustainability Goals Upfront Design team’s responsibility Use CFR as a reality check (O&M staff’s
responsibility) Make this a Living Document for the
Life-Cycle of your Building
OPR/CFR Best Practices
The importance of transportation Urban location advantages Benefits of telecommuting – it’s not
all about emissions! Sustainable Site Management
The snow removal challenge Reduced emissions from site maintenance The “F” word… Fertilization!
Sites
Living with low flow Hot water, piping,
maintenance (soaps and solids)
Irrigation Plantings Technologies Be a drip!

May - October
5.3 million gallons
Water Consumption in Gallons
Show Me The Money!

Low Flow Aerators
Low Flow Shower Heads
Low Flow Flush Valves
Water Efficient Irrigation Systems
Performance Assumptions
2.2 to 1.5/1.0 GPM
2.5 to 1.5 GPM
3.0 to 1.6 GPM
It Depend
sOffice 2 years 2 – 4 years 4 – 8 years
Multi-Family
<1 year 1 – 2 years 3 – 4 years
Assumes 80% efficient DHW Plant
Good Fit for any Building with a BAS Start with the Budget you have
Under a few thousand to get started (one time fee)
Group14 preferred vendor: SkySpark by SkyFoundry
Like RCx, should be less than two year payback
Energy - MBCx
ENERGY STAR evolving Regression/Cost Avoidance based
software tools can be very powerful
Energy – Utility Data Management
Energy – Utility Data Management (DHA Case Study)
Report Action
Electric Heating Use, by address
Work order to remove space heater
High Electricity Baseload, by address
Energy Manager/Maintenance Supervisor Investigates
High Summer Gas Use, by address
Energy Manager/Maintenance Supervisor Investigates
Exceeds allowable irrigation water use
Call Irrigation Management Vendor
Kgal/SF Variance Energy Manager/Maintenance Supervisor Investigates
Btu/DD/SF Variance (Winter Heating), by address
Work Order to Functionally Test Unit, reset thermostat high limit
Continuous Commissioning Fault Detection
Central Plant work order
Deficiency noted during M&V Inspections
Work order to address deficiency
Energy – Go Big/Deep Retrofit Consider all Major Capital
Improvements over Next Several Years Informed by Whole Building Analysis Considers Reputation/Market Position Paired with Financial Planning Multi-Stage Project, with Specified
