Project Goals

Goal 1 (Buildable): Efficient Construction

• Measure: Reduced Construction Time
• Targets:
• 10% reduction from standard projection
• 15% reduction from standard projection
• Strategies:
• Tightly maintained schedule led by integrated project delivery team
• Mainly field built or prefab (site dependent)
• Local manufacturers (150 mile radius)
• Weekly site visits by management team or reps
• Clear contracts with subcontractors

Goal 2 (Usable): Maximize Thermal Comfort

• Measure: User Satisfaction
• Targets:
• 65% occupant satisfaction rate
• 80% occupant satisfaction rate
• Strategies:
• Windows
• Shades (manual or sensor)
• Optimize WWR
• Reduce SHGC
• Overhangs
• Large south-facings
• HVAC
• 12-15 ach per person
• 15-18 cfm per person
• Air filtration
• Prioritize natural ventilation
• Allow for tight building (no outside air in extreme cases)
• Sensing thermostats
• Advertised as operable
• Walls
• Small U-factor of exteriors (polystyrene)
• Deciduous trees on E/W

Goal 3 (Operable): Wastewater Treatment

• Measure: Reduce Water Use
• Targets:
• 30% reduction from standard design
• 50% reductions from standard design
• Strategies:
• Wastewater treatment
• Recirculated for irrigation
• Rainwater collection
• Measure: Reduce Water Use
• Targets:
• 30% reduction from standard design
• 50% reductions from standard design
• Strategies:
• Wastewater treatment
• Recirculated for irrigation
• Rainwater collection

Goal 4 (Sustainable): Low Embodied Carbon Materials

• Measure: Proportion of Recycled Concrete
• Targets:
• 15%
• Low target can be subsidized with significant use of (mass) timber
• 25%
• Plus use of (mass) timber
• Strategies:
• Careful dismantling and demolishing of original rock to ensure good quality and avoid material waste
• Use portable crushers at the construction site to reduce cost and pollution
