Sustainability Features Summarized
Central downtown location capitalizes on existing utility infrastructure and public transportation. Site selection and full utilization of this important City of Portland block completes an important component of the university’s master plan. The location is one of the city’s most vibrant transportation hubs; street car, light rail and bus transportation are all directly adjacent to the project and fully integrated.
Stormwater management strategies include storage, treatment and reclamation. Rainwater from the roof is captured, stored and reused on site to flush water closets and serves as fire suppression water in the case of an emergency. Eco-roof planters on the fifth level terrace retain and treat storm water reducing overflow from the fire water tank during winter months. Site storm water is also treated with a water quality filtration system.
Water usage is reduced by 85% in comparison to the same building without water efficient strategies. Reclaimed water for water closets, dual flush fixtures, infrared sensor control faucets and low flow heads, and highly efficient irrigation contribute to the projected savings.
Construction debris has been carefully handled, and materials used were based on sustainable criteria. 80% of the demolition and construction debris has been diverted from landfills. Over 10% (post consumer + ½ pre-consumer) of the total value of material in the project has recycled content. Over 10% of the value of material used has been extracted, processed and manufactured regionally (within 500 miles of the site).
29% less energy used in comparison to the same building specified only to code compliance. Strategies include: Highly efficient mechanical and electrical equipment; effective daylighting ; a high performance exterior envelop with exterior sun screens, insulated dual pane glazing and super insulated wall; a flexible ventilation system; reuse of existing well water drawn from and re-injected to the aquifer to eliminate cooling plant.
Daylighting (use of natural light on the interior) and connections between interior spaces as well as interior to exterior spaces was a design priority. Daylight controlled electric light fixtures turn off when daylight conditions are sufficient for the task or space use; provide better lighting and reduce the electricity demand and the building cooling load.
Indoor air quality improvements due to control of construction dust and debris and use of low-emitting adhesives, paint, carpets and formaldehyde free casework contribute to user comfort and increased worker productivity.
