Analysis Description 1-Building Envelope Performance:
Identified as a constructability issue in a previous submission, the exterior wall will be studied for opportunities to improve constructability, thermal performance, value. It
addresses the critical issues associated with the energy crisis, high first costs, and changing roles. This analysis primarily covers a breadth in sustainability.
Analysis Description 2-Mechanical System Design:
This Analysis has been removed.
Analysis Description 3-Construction Waste Management:
Analysis Description 3 is aimed at greening the project and project team while
improving productivity through maintaining a clean site. This is believed to be assisted
by developing an achievable and affordable construction waste management plan. An evaluation will be performed to compare the cost and schedule impacts of implementing
the plan. It will also contribute to the LEED certification of the project.
Analysis Description 4-Water Efficient Landscaping:
In a last minute race to earn LEED certification, this analysis will attempt to replace
the current landscape design with a more conservative one. It’s believed that this type of
activity could be implemented late in the construction process on many projects if they are on the verge of earning enough LEED points for certification. The site impacts, water
consumption, and a cost comparison will be provided with this analysis.
