Next month Chris Baylow and Jeff Zynda will present at the Tradeline: College and University Science Facilities in Scottsdale. Will you be there?
Session: Up-front planning decisions that reduce energy-use and first capital costs in STEM facilities
Presentation: Tuesday, November 18, 10:40 AM – 11:35 AM
Early decisions on zoning of programmatic elements can deliver dramatic energy savings and reduce building infrastructure requirements – a win for both first costs and operating costs. Session leaders illustrate what the programmatic zoning strategy delivers through case studies of the new Biosciences Research Building at National University of Ireland, Galway and projects currently in design. They contrast traditional laboratory planning metrics with a more leading edge approach using evidence-based values for heat rejection, plug-loads, and air-changes per hour to significantly reduce energy usage intensity. They profile the results: facilities that are sustainable, flexible, dense, interactive and collaborative.
Each year, PAYETTE embarks on a collaborative effort to make our design services accessible to local communities through the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service. This year, we celebrated our 8th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service by partnering with 7 local nonprofits:
- Breaktime @breaktime
- Brighton Main Streets @brightonmainstreets
- Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition @masstpc
- The Elizabeth Peabody House @elizabethpeabodyhouse
- Greater Ashmont Main Street @greaterashmont
- Greater Grove Hall Main Streets
- Animal Protection Center of Southeastern Massachusetts @animalprotectioncenter
