West Berkeley Public Library

Berkeley, CA

TYPE: SIZE: ACCREDIATION: 9,400 SF

New Construction

LEED Platinum / Net Zero Energy (NZE)

Extensive study revealed that the embodied energy required to construct a new zero net energy (ZNE) structure would be offset by the ongoing cost of maintaining a renovated existing structure within one year’s time. The main room of the library includes stacks, computer stations, various seating areas, a children’s area and circulation desk. A large multipurpose room doubles as additional reading room space. A teen room, and staff and service areas round out the program. The ZNE design process begins with the optimization of onsite renewable energy. The building footprint is optimized to maximize roof area for solar thermal and photovoltaic solar panels. In order to match the actual building consumption to the energy budget provided by this system a variety of passive strategies were developed. Analysis of local climate data revealed that a steady ocean breeze could be utilized for ventilation. The front façade is extended above roof level to create a continuous wind chimney. Prevailing breezes create negative pressure behind the façade where louvers draw air through the main spaces from windows at the opposite end of the building. Additionally, skylights automatically open to support airflow. A radiant floor system connected to rooftop solar thermal panels provides heating and cooling. These passive strategies are coordinated by a building management system that is tied to a roof top weather station. The BMS can thereby switch modes from natural ventilation to full cooling for comfort control. There is no additional HVAC system in the facility. This library was the first public library to achieve Net Zero Energy. It also won multiple awards such as Golden Nugget Award and AIA National Award for Sustainability.

Alameda County Juvenile Justice Center

San Leandro, CA

SIZE: ACCREDIATION”

379,000 SF

LEED Gold

The firm provided the MEP engineering design for this LEED Gold certified facility and the only detention center in the nation to achieve this status. The Juvenile Hall (providing capacity for 360 minors), the administration building, and the court building cover 379,000 SF and form the full-service justice center in San Leandro, California. The USGBC awarded the project 43 points towards the certification, with a perfect score in the categories of Energy and Atmosphere, and Innovation and Design Process. The Juvenile Justice Center, which has exceeded California’s Title 24 Energy Efficiency Standards by over 40%, relied on a varied strategy for achieving sustainability that included a photovoltaic solar array, bio-diesel excavation, and site clearing. Exceptional levels of efficiency were achieved in the following areas. Water-efficient irrigation technology reduces site water consumption by more than 50 percent, which saves over 5,000,000 gallons annually. Waterless urinals and water-efficient plumbing fixtures reduce water consumption by 41 percent, which saves more than 2,000,000 gallons annually. The building complies with Title 24 requirements (more stringent than national standards), but is nearly 66 percent more efficient than the baseline and saves 500 kW annually. An 880 kW solar panel array on the rooftop provides over 60 percent of the building energy demands, over 1000 MW annually. The project contracted to purchase 100 percent of the building energy needs — equivalent to 2,629 MWh — from wind generation. Ninety-three percent of construction waste was recycled and diverted from landfill, and 23,800 gallons of bio-diesel fuel were used in the site grading equipment, which saved 200 tons of CO2.
