The Exhibition Space will be put nearby the Dish area near our campus. Thus, we should follow CA-specified standards, and I wish to design a building that is compatible with the nearby environment (higher altitude and some greens).

Goal 1: Use less materials, and more sustainable materials

• Measure:   LEED credits
• Targets:
• At least 5 points in the Materials and Resources (MR) category
• Strategies:
• Minimize use of concrete
• Use recycled metal, glass, and wood. A list of recommended products that help meet CALGreen and LEED certifications are listed here https://calrecycle.ca.gov/condemo/products/.

Goal 2: Low Site Energy

• Measure:  Energy Use Intensity (EUI)
• Targets:
• At least 50% reduction in EUI comparing to ASHRAE Standard 90.1
• Meet Architecture 2030
• Strategies:
• Low-E glasses for natural light penetration and heat prevention
• Natural ventilation throughout the building
• Solar roof / green roof
• Use smart sensors and actuators for building automation

Goal 3: Encourage well-being / healthy behaviors

• Measure: LEED credits and visual assessment
• Targets:
• At least 15 points out of 20 in the Location and Transport (LT) category.
• Promote mental health by connecting people and the nature
• Strategies:
• Design more bicycle storage space and set up a shuttle stop to satisfy standards for Bicycle Facilities, and Access to Quality Transit criteria.
• Setting up the center of the building as a gathering place for people to connect with each other and enjoy the nature at the same time.
• Open stairwells to encourage walking.
