NARRATIVEILLINOIS INSTUITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ED KAPLAN FAMILY INSTITUTE FOR INNOVATION AND TECH ENTREPRENEURSHIP

The Illinois Institute of Technology envisions a campus where collaboration and innovation between disciplines is commonplace. The design of the Kaplan Institute is guided by the purpose of creating an environment where interdisciplinary ideas can develop between their engineering and applied science majors.

The facility includes large and open flexible collaboration spaces that include classrooms, meeting rooms, and workshops. This provided unique opportunities for integrated and sustainable design features for the facility.

dbHMS developed a design maximizes the flexibility of the building and provides efficient heating and cooling strategies for the Kaplan Institute. The building is served by a radiant composite metal deck that when combined with a dedicated outside air system provides the primary means of heating, cooling, and ventilating the building. In perimeter areas where the building experiences high loads, passive chilled beams provide additional cooling.

These efficient heating and cooling strategies are coupled with passive measures for reducing heating and cooling loads on the building. The Kaplan Institute is designed with an ETFE façade that provides dynamic control over the solar gain and heat loss of the building. The façade is composed of layers of ETFE film that overlap or separate to provide control over the thermal properties of the façade. The lighting systems incorporate an all-LED lighting scheme that substantially reduces the energy used by the building.

ENERGY EFFICIENCYThe building systems have been optimized to reduce the energy consumption of the building. The systems provide an 18.5% reduction over ASHRAE 90.1-2010 and an equivalent energy cost savings of 10.3%.

Table 1 provides the predicted building energy performance.

INDOOR AIR QUALITYThe Kaplan Institute includes a dedicated outside air system (DOAS) with demand control ventilation in each space to maintain indoor air quality while balancing energy savings.

INNOVATIONThe design of the mechanical systems was coordinated with the program layout to optimize of use of radiant rollout mats throughout the building. These provide a faster installation and improve the quality of the tubing layout in the metal deck.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCEThe systems include no moving parts throughout the facility. All major mechanical equipment is isolated to the two (2) mechanical rooms in the building.

COST EFFECTIVENESSA cost analysis was conducted on this project and determined that the radiant system was more economical than a traditional VAV system.

This system permitted the following cost reduction measures:1. Reduction of floor to floor heights and corresponding glazing2. This system allowed the air handling systems to be consolidated to one (1) unit creating a more optimal building structure

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTTable 2 summarizes the predicted environmental impact of the building relative to the ASHRAE 90.1-2010 Appendix G Baseline:
