Question 2
• “Ecological Materials and Resources Used"
Wood, reclaimed cypress
spectrally selective, low-emissivity glazing.
Gabion (filled brick) walls filled with waste (waste brick)
Polished concrete floors eliminating the need for floor coverings
Paints and finishes with low levels of volatile organic compounds
masonry
Millwork - product made from sunflower hulls
carpet with bio-based polymer fibers
linoleum tackboards
Adhesives, sealants, paints, coatings, carpet and composite wood products with low levels of volatile organic compounds
Question 3
• “Energy Efficiency”
cooled with a high-efficiency, air-cooled modular chiller
sensors, photocells, mesh shades, dimming, and dual lamp switching
A large expanse of glazing on the southern side of the building provides daylighting
automated windows at the bottom of the wall
exhaust fan at the top of the stair pulls air up
drought-resistant plant species eliminate the need for an irrigation system
Water-saving fixtures were used throughout the building:
· dual-flush, low-flow toilets
· ultra-low-flow urinals
· low-flow showers
· low-flow faucets
Low-velocity, displacement ventilation (air is directed only toward occupied area)
Adhesives, sealants, paints, coatings, carpet and composite wood products with low levels of volatile organic compounds
three-story ceremonial stair was placed on the southern wall to act as a thermal buffer between the outside and inside.
