Building Entrance “Under the leadership of Dr. Rose Johnson, Haywood Community College is dedicated to practicing and teaching sustainability; partnering with Innovative Design on the new Creative Arts Building with their 30+ years of experience will ensure a design that will impact our community and State well into the future.” Debbie Trull, Executive Director of Administrative Services, Haywood Community College 3 4 9 1 8 1ST FLOOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY SOLAR THERMAL COOLING & HEATING An energy efficient building shell prevents unwanted air leaks and boosts energy savings. 152 solar thermal collectors on the south wing roof u lize the Sun’s energy to generate hot fluid, which is then used as a source of energy to heat and cool the building. High‐efficiency insula on is sprayed on exterior walls, which provides an air ght seal. High‐efficiency, low‐e glass is used for view windows while upper dayligh ng window glass was selected for the best dayligh ng performance. The Crea ve Arts Building u lizes a solar thermal based absorp on chiller to cool the building. Absorp on chillers use thermal characteris cs of liquids (condensa on, evapora on, and pressuriza on cycle) to absorb the heat and cool spaces in summer. Metal roof panels are coated with a high solar reflectance coa ng to minimize heat gain through the roof. A white membrane roof is used on flat roofs for the same benefit. Thermally‐broken door and window frames are used to improve energy efficiency. DAYLIGHTING & LIGHTING CONTROL The same solar thermal energy is also used by a radiant floor system to heat the building in winter. PHOTOVOLTAICS Dayligh ng u lizes natural light to illuminate a space and decrease the need for electric ligh ng. Daylit spaces are designed to provide glare free, superior ligh ng by op mizing glazing areas and loca ons in order to bring in the proper amount of natural light. Photovoltaic (PV) panels on the roof convert energy from the Sun into electricity. PV cells, the individual components of the PV panels, generate an electric charge, in the form of Direct Current (DC). Light levels in daylit spaces are monitored by dayligh ng sensors, which relay informa on to the electric ligh ng system, automa cally adjus ng the ar ficial light level to meet the space’s need. The Crea ve Arts Building’s dayligh ng is designed to provide superior dayligh ng for two‐thirds of the day me hours. The DC charge is wired through an inverter to convert the electricity into Alterna ng Current (AC), which can be used by the building or sold back to the electric u lity grid. The PV system on the Crea ve Arts Building roof consists of 468 PV panels, providing a total system size of 112 kilowa s. Two small PV systems provide electricity for emergency call lights outside the building and for a stormwater recircula on pump in the constructed wetland.

Solar hot water is stored in a 400‐gallon storage tank to allow for domes c hot water usage 24 hours of the day. Rainwater from the roof flows to the underground cistern at the courtyard. It stores up to 25,000 gallons and will provide 570,000 gallons per year, for the cooling towers and to the building to flush the toilets. Using free, abundant solar energy to heat domes c hot water saves money and helps save the environment. The rainwater reuse system will reduce the amount of potable water purchased for toilet flushing by 100% and for the cooling tower by 90% for a typical year. INDOOR AIR QUALITY Low and no‐VOC (Vola le Organic Compounds) materials, such as paint, sealants, adhesives, and cabinetry, were used to create a more healthy environment for the building’s occupants, STORMWATER MANAGEMENT Over 90% of stormwater on the site is treated by two sand filters, a constructed wetland pond and a bio‐swale. The pre and post sand filters are to capture large debris and pollutants. During construc on, a strict indoor air quality management plan was implemented to prevent unwanted construc on dust from entering the ductwork. Filters were regularly cleaned and changed. Before the occupant’s move‐in, a third‐party air quality tes ng lab took air samples throughout the building and confirmed the indoor air quality suitable for occupancy. The constructed wetland pond and bio‐
swale are not the same as typical swales and reten on ponds. Special soils and a variety of aqua c plants are used to reduce pollutants from the stormwater runoff. An extensive exhaust ven la on and fresh air supply system suitable for the Crea ve Arts Program maintains the healthy environment. “I wanted to let you know what a fantastic building this is! Our students and instructors have always created innovative and high quality work, and now our building matches the work we do. We feel that having this well‐designed building will open many doors for our program and it is a joy to work in.” The bio‐swale recharges the aquifer with treated water replenishing our water source. Caryl Brt, Instructor, Department of Creative Arts, Haywood Community College SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS INTEGRATIVE DESIGN PROCESS Integra ve Design Process is a collabora ve and interac ve design decision making process used by the project team of Crea ve Arts Building. At the first phase of design, the team met many mes, and the design team conducted a program survey of the staff, faculty and students, analyzing over 120 survey responses. Design and construc on of the Crea ve Arts Building focused on using recycled, sustainable and regional materials as much as possible. Over 20% of the major construc on materials were made from recycled content. Nearly 40% of the major construc on materials were made within 500 miles of the site, including local river stone cladding. More than 50% of the wood materials used in the building were FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) Cer fied wood materials, which cer fies that wood has been harvested from sustainably managed forest, and manufactured with environmentally sensi ve means. Cri cal decisions were made based on Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA). LCCA is a tool to inform the owner of the life me cost of a system and a whole building evalua ng several different op ons, considering opera ons and maintenance costs. Using sustainable strategies for building materials helps promote local economies, reduces material wastes and reduces air pollu on from transporta on. Extensive energy modeling was performed several mes throughout design to predict the energy consump on of the building. SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES LEED CERTIFICATION LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an interna onally recognized green building ra ng system administered by the U.S. Green Building Council. It provides building owners and operators with a framework for iden fying and implemen ng prac cal and measurable green building design, construc on, opera ons, and maintenance solu ons. Erosion and sedimenta on control measures were installed to prevent pollu on from construc on ac vi es, such as silt fences and temporary sedimenta on traps. Throughout the construc on phase, an extensive construc on waste management program was used. Wood, plas c, metal, cardboard, glass, concrete masonry and other trash was separated on site. A total of 82% of the construc on waste was diverted from the landfill. With high sustainability goals in many criteria, the Crea ve Arts Building targets to achieve the highest level of LEED cer fica on, a Pla num level. The cer fica on award is an cipated in summer of 2013. “I have said repeatedly to the press and visitors that I've already experienced a change in the quality of our student's work‐‐I attribute this to the many ways that the building works splendidly, especially the quality of light and the well designed spaces. It’s a building that we will grow into and that will serve us and our students very well.” Terry Gess, Chair, Professional Arts, Department of Creative Arts, Haywood Community College 850 West Morgan Street Raleigh, NC 27603 Phone: 919.832.6303 Fax: 919.832.3339 www.innova vedesign.net Printed on FSC cer fied paper that is 100% recyclable. 12.24.2013
