  1. MATERIALSELECTION CONSIDERATIONS

  2. Selecting Sustainable Strategies / Systems: Explore possible ideas and test for compatibility with: • Project Mission • Climate • Site • Program/Function • Budget • Code restrictions • Aesthetic requirements • Maintenance expectations • Other pre-determined strategies or aspects of the project

  3. Selecting Materials: Explore possible ideas and test for compatibility with: • Project Mission • Climate • Site • Program/Function • Budget • Code restrictions • Aesthetic requirements • Maintenance expectations • Other pre-determined strategies or aspects of the project

  4. Environmental Material Criteria • Recycled • Rapidly Renewable • Salvaged • Locally Manufactured • Locally Harvested • No Impact to Habitats • Recyclable /Biodegradable • Low Embodied Energy • Non Toxic

  10. Environmental Material Criteria • Recycled • Rapidly Renewable • Salvaged • Locally Manufactured • Locally Harvested • No Impact to Habitats • Recyclable /Biodegradable • Low Embodied Energy • Non Toxic

  11. Material Life-Cycle Analysis

  12. Case Study - CBF

  13. MISSION The Chesapeake Bay Foundation • Excess Nutrients in Waterways • Sedimentation • Point Source Toxins

  14. Each year, roughly 97.5 million pounds--comes from air deposition. Most of this comes from Site Water Effluent flow from sewage treatment plants into area waterways contributes Increase in urbanized land relative to population growth: MISSION Nutrient Pollution Sources 2.65 times the rate of population growth approx.300 million pounds of nitrogen pollution in the Bay each year. • Non-point Source Pollution • Water Treatment Plants Energy Materials & Resources Wetlands lost in the lower 48 states between the late 1700s • Air Pollution • Loss of Wetlands and the mid-1980s: More than half (53%) power plant smoke stacks & vehicle tailpipes.

  15. Site Conservation and Restoration • Ecosystem restoration • Stormwater reduction • Minimized site disturbance

  16. Conservation - Harnessing Natural Resources • Passive And Active Solar Design • Mixed-mode Natural Ventilation • Geothermal Heating And Cooling • Day Lighting • Rainwater Collection Orientation Sun Control Natural Daylight Energy Efficient Systems Renewable Energy
