Facilities Design Guidance
| The term "sustainable"
is gaining more useage among building design professionals along with other
terms, such as, "green," or "high performance." The intent of such
a focus is to give a greater emphasis on design criteria that makes the
overall design more environmentally friendly, more energy efficient, less
costly to operate, and increases the indoor environment quality, as well
as maintaining cost effectiveness. |
| High Performance Schools
- A school that is healthy, productive, cost effective, and sustainable.
Key components of a high performance school include: acoustic comfort,
superior indoor air quality, daylighting, thermal comfort, visual comfort,
safety and security, energy efficient building shell, environmentally preferable
materials and products, environmentally responsive site planning, high
performance HVAC, high performance electric lighting, water efficiency,
renewable energy, life cycle cost analysis, energy analysis tools, and
commissioning. |
| LEED (R) - Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design, a rating system developed by the
US Green Buildings Council, to determine to what extent a facility meets
the definition of "green." The program establishes a common standard
of measurement, promotes integrated, whole-building design practices, recognizes
environmental leadership in the building industry, stimulates green competition,
raises consumer awareness of green building benefits, and seeks to transform
the building market. |
| Green Globes (TM) - An interactive,
web-based, commercial green building assessment protocol that guides the
integration of green principles into a building's design. Projects
are assigned a rating of one or more Green Globes depending on the percentage
of points attained from including applicable criteria. |
