It can easily match traditional campus design or not. Carpet, furniture and windows do not have to look different. They can look like traditional ones only they perform better and are healthier. Does not need to be high tech to be green. Time Green Buildings take the same amount of time to construct as regular buildings. More time may be required in the Design phase though. Costs Green Buildings do not have to cost more. With planning they can be built at the same price or less. Design fees may be higher in the beginning of the project but the extra design work will lower the actual construction costs. In the end the building costs the same and fits in the traditional budget. Normal: 2 + 2 = 4 Green: 3 + 1 = 4 Long term maintenance and operations costs can be reduced by 20 – 50% with good planning.Green Buildings at USC: Green Buildings at USC West Quad Residence Hall & Learning Center School of Public Health Library Rare Books Collection & Modern Political Wings Law School New Honors College Gamma Phi Beta Sorority New Student Health Center Baseball Stadium Horizon Buildings Biomedical Buildings Arnold II Band/Dance Building Innovista West Quad: West QuadWest Quad : West Quad $30.9M project cost - $25M const. cost 177,000 SF - $141.24/sf SAME COST & Time 502 bed spaces – 4 buildings Residential, office, academic & retail spaces Goal of LEED Silver – Achieved Reduced Construction & Change Order Costs 45%-55% More Energy Efficient = over $50,000 savings annually 20% more Water Efficient = $ 3900+ savings annually Residents comment on improved health and productivity West Quad at USC: West Quad at USC Selected “Green” Project Particulars Designed to be 40% more energy efficient and to use 20% less water “Green” roof on Learning Center Fuel Cell for supplemental electricity & hot water Solar pre-heating for domestic hot water Low VOC paints and carpets & 100% Fresh Air Daylighting in all buildings Building orientation Light shelves for shading and natural lighting on southern exposures Light wells on Learning Center “Green” board in case good furnishings Total storm water management integration US Green Building Council (USGBC): US Green Building Council (USGBC) Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED)Slide24: USGBC’s MISSION: to promote the design and construction of buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable, and healthy places to live and work.
