PROJECT PERIOD AND LOCATION: Aug 15, 2013 to Aug 14, 2014 at BYU, Provo, Utah PROPOSED EPA PROJECT COST: $15,000 TOTAL PROJECT AMOUNT: All of the $15,000 will be used for team members to travel to the National Sustainable Design Expo in Washington, DC. BYU will not charge indirect costs. PROJECT SUMMARY -- OBJECTIVE: The technical challenge addressed by this project is the design of a sustainable urban form for future cities. Current urban forms such as low-density sprawl and high-density skyscrapers are not sustainable because they gobble up land, waste energy, pollute the air and water, do not adequately protect people, and suffer from car-


3

dependency and traffic congestion. The project investigates a new urban form called the greenplex. The greenplex consists of tall buildings massively interconnected with skybridges to create a three-dimensional, walkable, car-free community. Optimization techniques will be used to mix residential and commercial space both horizontally and vertically. The lightweight transparent material, ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE), spans between the building roofs creating tall sheltered atria between buildings. This envelope protects people from severe weather and significantly reduces exposed surface area, thus reducing energy consumption for heating and air-conditioning. The greenplex is sustained with innovative green technologies such as ground-source heat pumps, hydronic heating/cooling, natural ventilation and lighting, onsite wastewater treatment/recycling, and surface collection of solar/wind energy and rainwater. PROJECT SUMMARY -- DESCRIPTION: The multidisciplinary student team will design a University Community Greenplex for Brigham Young University in the city of Provo, Utah. Space will be included for all university functions, student housing, residences for all faculty and staff and their families, stores, restaurants, medical facilities, schools, churches, entertainment/recreation establishments, and residences for the people that operate these support services. It will not include manufacturing, industrial, or agricultural space. The primary benefit to people is the walkability of the greenplex community -- everything is within half a mile. The absence of cars in the greenplex benefits people by eliminating noise, congestion, traffic accidents, air pollution, wasted time, and stress. The greenplex dramatically reduces energy consumption, carbon footprint, and air pollution by eliminating gas-powered vehicles, by reducing exposed surface area, and by utilizing a variety of green technologies. The consumption of land and the environmental impact on the local aquifer and watershed are also reduced. The prosperity of greenplex occupants is enhanced by reducing heating and power bills, by eliminating costs for gasoline and car insurance/maintenance, and by reducing health care costs. The sustainability of the greenplex form will be shared with freshman and senior students, the technical community, and the public media. PROJECT SUMMARY -- RESULTS: Outputs include images of architecture, space usage, social design, elevators, skybridges, ETFE envelope, structures, construction process, HVAC system, and water system. Outputs include performance metrics for the University Community Greenplex and traditional university communities dominated by sprawl and/or skyscraper forms. These metrics include the reduction in air pollution, energy consumption, travel time, construction/maintenance cost, and water requirement. Another output is a financial plan investigating market viability of the greenplex. Outcomes demonstrate that a highly-connected, three-dimensional, mixed-use, car-free, walkable community is possible, and that congestion can be eliminated. Outcomes include the benefits of sheltering people from severe weather and providing them with multiple emergency escape routes. Outcomes demonstrate that a variety of green technologies and optimization techniques can advance the goal of a net-zero energy/water community. The final outcome is that the greenplex form is a profitable investment. CONTRIBUTION TO POLLUTION PREVENTION OR CONTROL: The greenplex reduces air pollution by creating a car-free community that relies heavily on geothermal energy for heating and air conditioning. It utilizes improved methods for water treatment and distribution. SUPPLEMENTAL KEYWORDS: none

RESEARCH PLAN 1. PROJECT / DESIGN SPRAWL AND SKYSCRAPERS: The two dominant urban forms that emerged from the 20th century are low-density sprawl (Figure 1) and high-density skyscrapers (Figure 2). Both are unsustainable for a number of reasons. Sprawl gobbles up land and increases car dependency, which contributes to a host of problems including air pollution, traffic accidents, wasted time, carbon emissions, vehicle costs, dependency on oil, noise, obesity, and road rage. The streets of most skyscraper cities are clogged with traffic congestion, due in part, to the fact that all horizontal movement and building access are restricted to the ground level. Tall slender skyscrapers have limited escape routes, and can become deathtraps when these routes are cut off by fire or terrorist attack as was painfully observed on 9-11. Neither the sprawl or skyscraper forms fully shelter people from severe weather conditions. Modern cities have been paralyzed by blizzards, hurricanes, dust/pollution, and extreme heat/cold, and people have been trapped in their homes and apartments. Finally, the sprawl and skyscraper forms possess large amounts of exposed surface area, which wastes the energy required for heating and air-conditioning.

Figure 1: Low-Density Sprawl Figure 2: High-Density Skyscrapers GREENPLEX DEFINITION: A new urban form is proposed for the 21st century, which will be called the "greenplex". As shown in Figure 3, the greenplex begins with a set of tall buildings. In Figure 4, the buildings are massively interconnected with skybridges in both horizontal directions every 5 to 10 stories. Note that the skybridges create a three-dimensional walkable network with multiple escape routes and access points. In Figure 5, the gaps between the roofs of the buildings are enclosed in an envelope made from transparent ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) to create tall atria between the buildings providing quiet sheltered space. Note that the exposed surface area of the exterior envelope in Figure 5 is much less than that of the exposed buildings in Figure 3. Gas-powered cars are not allowed within the enclosed space of the greenplex. The greenplex is a pedestrian zone, although electric vehicles are used to transport heavy loads. Green technologies are utilized including: 1) ground-source heat pumps, 2) hydronic heating/cooling, 3) natural ventilation and lighting, 4) onsite wastewater treatment/recycling, and 5) surface collection of solar/wind energy and rainwater. "Greenplex" can be defined by the simple equation:

Greenplex = Tall Buildings + Skybridges + ETFE Atria + Green - Cars

Figure 3: Tall Buildings Figure 4: Skybridges Figure 5: ETFE Atria The greenplex definition is general enough to allow for considerable architectural diversity and expression as shown in Figure 6. Any external shape may be used. The individual buildings can vary in size and shape as long as they rise high enough to support the ETFE envelope. Some buildings may even poke through the envelope to create a skyline.

Figure 6: Architectural Diversity PROJECT GOALS: The first goal of the project is to design a greenplex for a university community. The campus of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah currently consists of 292 buildings spread over 2.3km2. The total floor area of all campus buildings is 0.84km2 including on-campus housing for 6,000 students. Approximately 20,000 single students and 7,000 married students live south of campus spread over an area of 1.8km2. Assuming 14m2 per single student and 56m2 per married student, the off-campus floor area is 0.67km2. The total floor area of 0.84km2+0.67km2 = 1.5km2 needed for both BYU campus buildings and off-campus housing can be provided by the campus greenplex shown in Figure 7 consisting of 25 buildings: 16x20story, 8x30story, 1x40story. The footprint of each building is 50m x 50m, and the spacing between buildings is 25m. The total base width of the campus greenplex is 350m, the total height is 150m, and the total footprint is only 0.12km2, which is less than 3% of the current campus and off-campus housing footprint of 2.3km2+1.8km2 = 4.1km2. The student team will use the campus greenplex in Figure 7 as a starting point to design a University Community Greenplex that will expand beyond university space and student housing to include: residences for all faculty and staff and their families, stores, restaurants, medical facilities, schools, churches, entertainment/recreation establishments, and residences for the


6

people that operate these support services. The University Community Greenplex will not include manufacturing, industrial, or agricultural space. Unlike the campus greenplex in Figure 7, the student team will be encouraged to employ architectural diversity among the buildings in their design. Their design will specify: 1) detailed space usage throughout the greenplex, 2) social design of space, 3) design of elevators, skybridges, and ETFE envelope, 4) conceptual design of the building structures and construction process, 5) conceptual design of the HVAC system including ground source heat pumps, hydronic heating/cooling, and natural ventilation, 6) conceptual design of the water system including onsite wastewater treatment/recycling and rainwater collection. Students will employ design optimization methods. They will produce appropriate architectural images and models to describe their design.

Figure 7: Campus Greenplex Figure 8: Cable-Spring ETFE Support System The second goal of the project is to estimate the performance of the University Community Greenplex by calculating such metrics as reduction of air pollution, energy consumption, travel time, construction/maintenance cost, and water requirement. Appropriate engineering models will be used. Values of these metrics will be compared to those for traditional university communities dominated by sprawl and/or skyscraper forms. These results will be used to develop a financial plan that investigates the market viability of the greenplex form. RELATION TO EPA STATUTES: The project clearly relates to the Clean Air Act since it dramatically reduces air pollution by creating a car-free community that relies heavily on geothermal energy (ground source heat pumps) for building heating and air conditioning rather than on burning fossil fuels. The project relates to the Safe Drinking Water Act since it utilizes improved methods for water supply and distribution including onsite wastewater treatment/recycling and rainwater collection. INNOVATIONS: The first innovation is the ETFE envelope system. ETFE has many wonderful properties including: lightweight, transparent, flexible, easy to repair, fire-safe, self-cleaning, recyclable, inexpensive, and low embodied energy. It has been used on many structures throughout the world such as the Olympic Water Cube and Bird's Nest in Beijing. The project will employ a new and innovative cable/spring system (Figure 8) to support the ETFE cushions spanning between buildings. This system is much lighter and less obtrusive than heavy arch and frame support systems. The springs give the system flexibility that allows buildings to displace independently under wind and seismic load. On-demand venting and rainwater collection are located where the ETFE interfaces with the buildings.

The second innovation is the use of the vertical dimension and optimization methodology to create a mixed-use walkable community. Travel time and congestion can be greatly reduced by mixing residential and commercial space both horizontally and vertically, and by establishing a 3D pedestrian network of skybridge and elevator links. A genetic algorithm will be employed to simultaneously optimize space use and link capacity. The system may utilize moving sidewalks, express elevators that stop only at skybridge floors, non-express elevators that stop at every floor, and the circulating multi-car elevator system announced by Hitatchi[1] to alleviate congestion in an energy-efficient manner. The third innovation is the HVAC system. The ratio of exposed surface area to usable floor area is significantly less for the greenplex form than it is for the skyscraper and sprawl forms. This greatly reduces heat exchange with the atmosphere. The optimum use of ground source heat pumps, hydronic heating/cooling, and natural ventilation will also reduce energy consumption. The fourth innovation is the water recycling system. Rainwater, greywater, and sewage will be treated onsite and recycled to the maximum extent possible. Optimization techniques will be used to design this system. The fifth innovation is the structural system consisting of massively interconnected buildings. Tall building design is usually controlled by lateral deflection under wind loading. By enclosing the buildings in an aerodynamic envelope, and by interconnecting buildings with axially-stiff, hinge-connected skybridges, the wind load per building is reduced. 2. CHALLENGE DEFINITION PARADOX OF INTENSIFICATION: "Smart growth" and "new urbanism" are names given to approaches to urban and transportation planning that advocate mixed use, increased density, walkability, transit/bicycle usage, connectivity, sustainability, and livability[2-3]. Some American cities, such as Portland, Oregon, have actively pursued smart growth[4]. In Europe, the terms "compact city" and "urban intensification" have been used to describe similar approaches[5-6]. These approaches have strong opponents[7]. Reviewing the evidence on urban intensification, smart growth, and their effects on travel behavior, Melia, Parkhurst, and Barton found evidence for the arguments of both supporters and opponents, which led them to propose the "paradox of intensification", which states[8]:

"All other things being equal, urban intensification, which increases population density, will reduce per capita car use with benefits to the global environment, but will also increase concentrations of motor traffic, worsening the local environment in those locations where it occurs."

This paradox is one of the technical challenges addressed by this project. One approach to increasing population density without increasing motor traffic congestion is the establishment of "car-free zones", which have become popular in Europe, such as the famous Stroget in Copenhagen[9]. Pedestrian malls have also appeared in the United States, but with limited economic success[10]. Enclosed shopping malls, which have existed for decades, are also car-free zones. Most car-free zones, outdoor malls, and enclosed malls throughout the world are


8

primarily used for retail and tourism, and are designed to attract customers from beyond the immediate local area. This increases traffic congestion in areas surrounding the car-free zone or mall. Recently, the idea of converting failed malls to mixed residential and commercial use has become economically attractive [11]. Such malls cannot be successful unless residences and offices are adjacent to quiet open areas. Walking distances can be shortened by exploiting all three dimensions. Car-free zones and outdoor pedestrian malls are typically low-rise, and thus, two-dimensional. Car-free zones that are dominated by a single long pedestrian street, such as the Stroget, are basically one-dimensional. Some enclosed malls have expanded in the vertical dimension, such as the 31-story iSQUARE mall in Hong Kong[12]. The greenplex form, as proposed, is a highly-connected, three-dimensional, mixed-use, car-free zone with many open atria that is intended to overcome the paradox of intensification by increasing density while decreasing congestion. OPTIMIZATION OF USE AND CAPACITY: The second technical challenge addressed by this project is how to optimize space use both horizontally and vertically. The PI has previously demonstrated the value of simultaneously optimizing land use and transportation planning in two dimensional cities and regions[13-16]. In that work, high-growth cities were divided into zones, and streets were divided into links. The optimization problem sought to find the optimal land use for each zone and the optimal capacity (number of lanes and speed limit) for each link. Constraints on minimum total residential, commercial, and recreational area were imposed, and two objectives were minimized: 1) total travel time of all trips in a 24-hour day, and 2) change from the status quo. Total travel time was determined with a standard four-step transportation model: 1) trip generation, 2) trip distribution, 3) mode split, and 4) route assignment[17]. A genetic algorithm utilizing the maximin fitness function[18] was executed from a random starting population of designs (Figure 9) to obtain a feasible Pareto-optimal final population of designs (Figure 10). Results showed that travel times were significantly reduced by mixing residential and commercial land use throughout the city or region. The same genetic algorithm will be used in the proposed work to simultaneously optimize space use and link capacity throughout the three-dimensional greenplex. Transportation links include vertical elevator links and horizontal pedestrian links across skybridges. Travel time and energy consumption will be minimized.

Figure 9: Starting Population Figure 10: Final Population PROTECTED CITIES: The third technical challenge is how to structurally protect cities from severe weather and man-made disasters including terrorist attack. Over fifty years ago, Buckminster Fuller proposed enclosing cities within geodesic domes[19] (Figure 11). Arcologists


9

have proposed ideas for sheltering cities within enormous hyperstructures such as the Shimizu Mega-City Pyramid for Tokyo featured on the Discovery Channel[20] (Figure 12). Also featured on the Discovery Channel was an idea for a large free-standing ETFE dome to shelter the city of Houston from hurricanes[21] (Figure 13). Norman Foster and Partners designed the world's largest tent, which was constructed from ETFE and encloses the Khan Shatyr entertainment and shopping center in Kazakhstan[22] (Figure 14). Note that all of these domes, pyramids, and tents are massive free-standing structures that must be constructed all at once.

Figure 15: Incremental Construction of Greenplex

Massive free-standing enclosures are not needed in the greenplex form. Note that in Figure 15, the enclosed buildings rise up to support, and become part of the external envelope. The ETFE need only be supported across the narrow gap between buildings, and an efficient spring-cable system has already been developed to do so (Figure 8). Unlike free-standing envelopes, the greenplex can be constructed incrementally as the community grows, rather than all at once. Skybridges and the ETFE envelope are extended to the new buildings as they are added (Figure 15). Skybridges have been recognized as a means for protecting people from fire and terrorist attack by providing multiple escape routes and access points[23]. Skybridges can be designed to provide structural redundancy between buildings up to a specified strain threshold, at which point they break away so that if one building collapses, it will not bring down surrounding buildings. NET-ZERO BUILDINGS: The final technical challenge to be addressed in the proposed project is the goal of designing buildings that minimize the amount of energy and water drawn from the grid, and the amount of carbon and pollutants discharged to the air and water environment[24-25]. Buildings account for 48% of the energy consumed in the United States[26]. In addition to dramatically reducing exposed surface area, the greenplex utilizes a variety of green technologies. Ground source heat pumps are among the most energy efficient technologies for providing heating, air-conditioning, and water heating.[27] They take advantage of the moderate temperatures in the ground as a heat source in the winter and as a heat sink in the summer. The ground is essentially a solar battery since more than half of incoming solar radiation is absorbed at the earth's surface[28]. Structural surfaces throughout buildings can be made thermally active by circulating water through hydronic tubing embedded in concrete slabs and walls[29]. Radiant hydronic heating and cooling is more efficient and less noisy, dusty, and drafty than forced air, and it eliminates the wasted space and costs of air ducts and fans[30]. Natural ventilation utilizes temperature differentials, natural buoyancy, and wind pressure to circulate air in buildings[31]. Onsite wastewater treatment is used to treat and recycle rainwater, greywater, and sewage, and it is mandated in Japan where it is known as "johkasou"[32]. NOTABLE PROJECTS: Two notable projects in Beijing utilize these green technologies and have influenced the greenplex idea proposed herein. The Linked Hybrid project (Figure 16) opened in 2008 and was named best skyscraper of the year by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat[33]. It was designed by Steven Holl Architects and consists of nine buildings interconnected with skybridges at the 20th story level. The buildings include 50 apartments, a hotel, a cinema, a kindergarten, a Montessori school, recreational facilities, commercial zones, and public green space. Recycled greywater is used to irrigate the green space area. The project sits atop one of the largest ground source heat pump systems in the world consisting of 660 wells 100m deep. The system exchanges 5000kw of heat energy between the buildings and the ground. Water is used as the exchange fluid, which is hydronically circulated in thermally active concrete slabs throughout the buildings. The Parkview Green project (Figure 17) has just been completed, and was pre-certified for LEED platinum rating, the highest rating given by the U.S. Green Building Council[34]. It was designed by Integrated Design Associates and Arup Engineers. It consists of two 18-story and two 9-story buildings interconnected with skybridges. The buildings support an ETFE roof with a heavy frame system. The sides of the quarter-pyramid are triple-glazed glass. The project includes commercial, hotel, and office space. It utilizes water-chilled hydronic ceilings, natural lighting, and natural ventilation.

RELATIONSHIP TO SUSTAINABILITY PEOPLE: The end users of the University Community Greenplex are the students, faculty, staff, support services personnel, and their families. The benefits to these people of the greenplex urban form over the current sprawl and skyscraper urban forms are many. Foremost is walkability. In today's skyscraper cities, one can look out an office window and see the face of a person in an adjacent office building. And yet to visit that person face to face, one must descend to the ground level, negotiate congested streets, and ascend to the colleague's office. Multi-level skybridges reduce this travel time considerably. Taxi cabs and buses are a necessity in today's skyscraper cities because most commercial establishments are confined to the two-dimensional ground level, and only offices and residences extend vertically. By vertically mixing residential and commercial use, distances are reduced, walkability is increased, and the need for vehicles is decreased. Everything in the University Community Greenplex will be less than a half-mile away. Increasing walkability has the health benefit of decreasing obesity and stress. The absence of cars in the greenplex benefits people by eliminating noise, congestion, traffic accidents, air pollution, and wasted time. Parents need not worry about children being hit by


12

cars. Teenagers can send text messages freely without endangering others while driving. The disabled and elderly who cannot drive will be liberated, and will no longer depend on others to transport them about for their daily needs. The temptation to drink and drive will be eliminated. Consider the safety, protection, and comfort that the greenplex provides to occupants. The multilevel skybridges provide multiple routes of escape and multiple access points for emergency responders. The greenplex buildings and enclosed atria shelter occupants from blizzards, hurricanes, dust, heat, and cold as they move about freely inside. The ETFE atria allow natural light to penetrate deep inside the greenplex. These atria create a sense of openness and provide residences and offices with that all-important view. PLANET: The greenplex dramatically reduces energy consumption, carbon footprint, and air pollution in three ways. First, is the elimination of gas-powered vehicles inside the greenplex. Although elevators and moving sidewalks consume energy, travel distances are much shorter in the greenplex, and the energy consumption rate per person will drop significantly over urban forms that are car-dependent. Second, the significant reduction in exposed surface area per usable floor area will reduce the amount of energy required for heating and air conditioning. Third, the use of ground source heat pumps, hydronic heating and cooling, natural ventilation, and surface solar/wind energy will further reduce the consumption of energy from fossil fuels. The collection of rainwater and the treatment/recycling of wastewater will reduce the environmental impact on the local aquifer and watershed. Finally, the high density of the greenplex reduces the consumption of land. PROSPERITY: Greenplex occupants will reap several economic benefits. Their heating and power bills will be dramatically lower. Costs for gasoline, car insurance, and car maintenance could vanish. Health care costs should also decrease by living in a healthier environment. The numbers calculated in this project may help to convince developers that the greenplex form is a profitable investment that will create many new jobs. As the greenplex form is adopted nationwide, dependency on foreign oil will diminish. 4. EDUCATIONAL AND INTERDISCIPLINARY ASPECTS EDUCATION ASPECTS: The greenplex design developed in this project will be presented regularly in the freshman introductory course in civil engineering at Brigham Young University. This will inspire these young students with exciting ideas and a desire to provide people with shelter, water, and mobility in a sustainable way. The greenplex design will also be studied in the civil engineering culminating design sequence where sustainability is a major focus. It is anticipated that various innovations and results of the project will lead to submissions to technical journals. It is also anticipated that the project will have great media appeal, and the student team will be eager to present their work to the public. INTERDISCIPLINARY ASPECTS: Disciplines involved in this project include mechanical (HVAC) engineering, transportation engineering, structural engineering, environmental (water) engineering, sociology, architecture, urban planning, construction management, and public management. The student team will include representatives from each of these disciplines.

5. RESULTS OUTPUTS: The output of the project is the design of a greenplex for the Brigham Young University community in the city of Provo, Utah. Students will produce several images to convey their design of: 1) space usage throughout the greenplex, 2) social design of space, 3) elevators, skybridges, and the ETFE envelope, 4) the building structures and construction process, 5) the HVAC system, and 6) the water system. Architectural images will be produced. Charts and graphs will compare performance metrics for the greenplex and traditional university communities. These metrics include reduction in air pollution, energy consumption, travel time, construction/maintenance cost, and water requirement. A financial plan will also be developed. OUTCOMES: The design, the performance metrics, and the financial plan will demonstrate several outcomes. First, it will be demonstrated that the paradox of intensification can be overcome by creating a highly-connected, three-dimensional, mixed-use, car-free, walkable community. Indeed, the global environment will benefit by increased population density and reduced per capita car use, while the local environment will benefit by elimination of motor traffic and congestion. Second, it will be demonstrated that people will be better served by living in an urban environment that is completely sheltered from severe weather conditions and provides multiple escape and access routes in the event of an emergency. Third, it will be demonstrated that dramatic reductions in exposed surface area can significantly reduce building energy consumption, and that a variety of green technologies can advance the goal of a net-zero energy/water community. Fourth, it will be demonstrated that optimization techniques can be used to efficiently prescribe space usage, transport capacity, and resource allocation to benefit people, planet, and prosperity. Fifth, it will be demonstrated to developers and public officials that the greenplex form is a feasible and profitable investment. SCALABILITY: The scalability of the greenplex form is truly exciting. One of the reasons mass transit fails in the urban sprawl environment is that people have to travel too far, usually by car, to mass transit stations. Greenplexes are high-density nodes that are naturally interconnected by high-speed mass transit. The greenplex insures that all people live within walking distance to the mass transit station. As shown in the photo-shopped images of Figures 18-19, interconnected high-density greenplexes make it possible to: 1) reduce car usage and travel time for travel between communities, and 2) literally restore the land from sprawl to green (agriculture, parks, and natural state).

6. PROJECT SCHEDULE AND MILESTONES WORK ALREADY COMPLETED: This project is feasible because much work will be completed before the project begins in August, 2013. Ryan Bessey completed his M.S. degree in December, 2012. He designed both ETFE cushion panels and a lightweight spring-cable support system for the ETFE envelope spanning between buildings (Figure 8). Amy McCall will complete her Ph.D. degree by the end of 2013. She has developed specialized optimization/analysis software for the structural design of interconnected tall buildings and skybridges. The tall buildings are modeled with a core-outrigger-megacolumn system. The software considers gravity loads including structure self-weight, wind loads, and seismic loads. The natural period of the system is determined by inverse iteration. A sequential quadratic programming algorithm is used for optimization. Bradley Mecham will complete his M.S. degree in December, 2013. He is developing a genetic algorithm that simultaneously optimizes space use and transportation link capacity for greenplexes. He is extending to three dimensions the previously mentioned work of the P.I. where two-dimensional cities and regions were optimized (Figures 9-10). Sam Christensen will complete his M.S. degree in December 2013. He is utilizing the Department of Energy EnergyPlus Simulation Software[35] to design and analyze the HVAC system for a greenplex. His work investigates the impact of greenplex elements such as reduction in exposed surface area, natural ventilation, ground source heat pumps, hydronic heating/cooling, and surface collection of solar/wind energy. DETERMINE SPACE REQUIREMENTS: The first task of the project will be to work with partners from the Brigham Young University Office of Space Management and the Provo City Planning Division to determine the space requirements for the University Community Greenplex. Specifically, the amount of space needed for offices, classrooms, labs, housing, retail, medical, schools, churches, entertainment, and sports will be determined. The population including students, faculty, staff, service personnel, and their families will also be determined. This task will be completed by mid-September, 2013. GREENPLEX CONCEPTUAL DESIGN: Based on the space requirements, the team will meet together often to decide upon the number of buildings, the number of stories in each building, and the footprint of each building. The external shape of the greenplex will be selected. The only space to be allocated at this point will be for large assembly halls, sports arenas, and swimming pools, most likely located at the base of the greenplex. This task will be completed by the end of September, 2013. PARALLEL TASKS: The following parallel tasks must be completed by February, 2014.

1) A senior BYU undergraduate student in transportation engineering and a senior BYU undergraduate student in urban planning will work with grad student Bradley Mecham to use the genetic algorithm to allocate the remaining space throughout the greenplex and design walkways, moving walkways, elevators, and stairways. Travel time and energy consumption will be minimized. Professors Grant Schultz and Michael Clay will advise.

2) A senior BYU undergraduate student in mechanical engineering will work with grad student Sam Christensen to design and optimize the HVAC system using the EnergyPlus


15

software. Ground-source heat pumps, hydronic heating/cooling, natural ventilation and lighting, and surface collection of solar/wind energy will be designed. Energy consumption, air flow, temperature, humidity, and lighting will be evaluated. Professor Matthew Jones will advise.

3) A senior BYU undergraduate student in environmental engineering will conceptually design and optimize the water system. Rainwater harvest amounts will be estimated, as will storage and treatment capacities. Energy requirements for distribution and pumping will be determined. Water amounts received from and discharged to the external environment will be minimized. Professor Brett Borup will advise.

4) A senior BYU undergraduate student in structural engineering will work with a senior BYU undergraduate student in construction management to estimate the cost to construct the greenplex. This will require execution of the optimization/analysis software developed by doctoral student Amy McCall to structurally design the buildings. Professors Richard Balling and Clifton Farnsworth will advise. 5) A senior BYU undergraduate student in sociology will look at social design of the space taking into account the interests and perspectives of the people in the community. For example, the social design aspects of recreational space would consider how different groups (i.e. families, faculty, students, children) would participate in and use that space. Gender, age, disability, and income level will impact the design of residential and commercial space. Professor Carol Ward will advise.

6) A public management graduate student will develop a financial plan for the construction and operation of the greenplex. Marketability of the idea will be explored. Professor Lawrence Walters will advise. 7) A University of Utah architecture graduate student will design the external appearance of individual buildings in the greenplex. Architectural diversity and expression will be emphasized. Rendered images of the greenplex as a whole and its individual buildings will be developed. If time permits, portable physical models may also be produced. Professor Patrick Tripeny will advise.

P.I. Richard Balling is an expert in optimization methods, and will help to implement optimization methodology in all of the above parallel tasks. PREPARATION OF FINAL REPORT AND PRESENTATION: All team members will be involved in the preparation of the final report and presentation for the National Sustainable Design Expo. Charts and graphs will be produced to compare the values of performance metrics for the greenplex to those for traditional university communities dominated by sprawl and/or skyscraper forms. Partners from the Brigham Young University Physical Facilities Division and the Provo City Community Development Department will assist in estimating metrics. Images and models will be assembled. This task will be completed by March, 2014.


16

PARTNERSHIPS The Brigham Young University Physical Facilities Division, including the Office of Space Management, and the Provo City Community Development Department, including the Planning Division, will serve as partners for the proposed project. Letters of support are included at the end of the proposal. These partners will assist the team in estimating space needs for the proposed University Community Greenplex, and in estimating performance metrics for traditional university communities.
