Green
Tip - Kicking off a design
project with an intense, creative
workshop allows the architect,
engineer, contractor and owner
to formulate their shared
vision of the project. As
charrette planners, we create
an environment that invites
the exchange of issues, ideas
and concerns and promotes
true collaboration in reviewing
the LEED® rating checklist
and targeting achievable credits.

Florida
State University Life
Sciences Teaching and

-
LEED-NC Certified
Tallahassee,
Florida
|
|

|
Because
FSU's Life Sciences
Teaching and Research
Center features numerous
research labs, teaching
labs, and vivarium/animal
research labs, indoor
air quality was a major
design focus. Ventilation
is critical to eliminating
the build-up of potentially
harmful fumes and particulates.
The buildings
mechanical system is
designed to maintain
a positive interior
pressure to minimize
the infiltration of
unconditioned air. Dedicated
high-velocity rooftop
exhaust fans serve the
lab spaces while variable
exhaust terminal units
maintain minimum exhaust
flow for each lab. The
amount of supply air
entering the labs is
monitored and controlled
automatically. The supply
air is modulated to
track the exhaust air
requirements so the
labs are 100% exhausted
to the outside. All
of the lab spaces maintain
a negative pressure
in respect to the corridors
and adjacent spaces
in order to minimize
the spread of odors
and contaminated air.
The fume hoods, snorkels
and room exhaust are
equipped with separate
air valves. All of the
lab animal areas are
provided with 100% outside
air systems. Dedicated
high-velocity rooftop
exhaust fans serve the
animal lab spaces with
constant exhaust flow
for each space maintained
at a constant level.
All lab animal spaces
are designed to maintain
a minimum of 20 air
changes per hour. In
the lecture hall, the
air distribution system
is designed to monitor
indoor carbon dioxide
levels in order to reduce
the need to condition
outdoor air during periods
of low occupancy.

of 44 beds; a 30-bed
transitional open heart
unit, an 18-bed regional
burn center and three
medical-surgical units.
Classrooms and an education
center are on the first
floor. Serving the new
center is a state-of-the-art
communications and electronic
records system. Energy
savings were achieved
through the use of exhaust
ventilation heat recovery,
a process in which the
heat of the air exhausted
from the building is
captured and used to
pre-heat the fresh air
being drawn into the
building. Other LEED
strategies include dual-flush
toilets and low-flow
faucets to reduce water
consumption; energy
efficient lighting and
mechanical systems;
use of natural daylight;
eco-friendly flooring,
paint and sealants;
and reflective roofing
materials that make
it easier to cool the
building. Nearly 90%
of the construction
and demolition debris
was diverted from going
to the landfill. Going
green is the right thing
to do for our environment
and our community,
said Brian Hardner,
the hospitals
vice president of facilities
