LEED Platinum• LEED: Leadership in Energy &

Environmental Design Green BuildingRating System

• This system is an internationallyrecognized green building certificationsystem that ensures a building or

community was designed and built withthese environmental metrics in mind:

Sustainable Sites

Water Efficiency

Energy & Atmosphere Materials & Resources

Indoor Environmental Quality

Locations & Linkages

Awareness & Education

Innovation in Design

• Americans are the only people who usefresh drinking water to flush away waste.

• Instead of using 2.4 gallons of drinking

water, these toilets use only 1.3 gallons.

• The urinals are exactly as the nameimplies, there is no water.

Low Flush Toilets and Waterless Urinals



• Any weakness in a buildings’ insulation

will allow for heat to escape. Windowsallow for this to happen even easier than

walls do.• Triple Pane windows will greatly reduce

heat loss in the winter and will keep heatoutside better in the summer.

• An R value is used to measure thestrength of the walls’ or windows’ thermal

resistance. The higher the R value thebetter the buildings’ energy efficiency will

be.

• The thermal envelope of Bosarge Centeris over 16” thick with the R value of 40.

The R value of the roof is 60.

• CFL: Compact Fluorescent Lights useless than 75% energy, will last 10 timeslonger, and are safer to use as they

produce less heat. They also cut homecooling costs.

• With sun shining into the house the lightswill dim or shut off on their own.

• At night time they will come on whensomeone enters a room and will shut offautomatically when that person leaves.

Cycling

This term is used to describe any systemthat acts as a net to capture and holdrainfall.

Collecting rainwater directly as opposedto indirectly saves energy in filtering andtransportation.

That’s why theBosarge EducationCenter has decidedto use collected rainwater to flush theirtoilets.

Rain Water Catchment Systems



Regular heating systems push usedwarm air out and draw in cool fresh airthat has to be warmed.

This system transfers the heat fromalready used and stale air to the freshincoming air.

Less energy is used because the heater

doesn’t have to warm the air again.

Heat Recovery Ventilation System



Cycling

The materials used to build the BosargeCenter are all recycled as were thematerials that were left over from

construction.Placed around the Bosarge Center foryour convenience are recycling bins todispose of accumulated waste.

SWH: Solar Water Heating system

This system is designed to deliver themaximum amount of water year round.

In order to heat water a collection tank isattached to the roof or a wall that gets alot of sunlight.

No pumping is required as the heated

water rises naturally to the top of thetank. When using a pumped system, thetank is located at ground level and theheated water is pumped from the tank tothe building.

SWH



• Solar energy is collected inPhotovoltaic or PV panels on abuildings’ roof.

• The collected energy is turnedinto useable electricity.

• Left over energy is sent to anelectrical company where it isstored until needed.

• Solar electricity is measured tocompare how much energy weuse to how much energy weare making. This is called Net

Metering.• The Bosarge Center is a Net

Zero building because it usesonly the amount of energy itproduces.

Generating

Active Solar Design



• No PV panels are needed for this design.Instead the natural positions of the sunare used to our full advantage.

• In winter, the angle of the sun allowssunlight into the building because ithangs low in the sky.

• Because of the overhang seen in the

diagram below, this design keeps it coolin summer and warm in the winter.

• Most of a building’s heat is lost through

poorly insulated walls architects havebegun building into hillsides. This is

called berming.• Berming also protects one side of the

building from the elements.

Berming



• Most of the windows in the BosargeCenter are placed on the south side ofthe building.

• This is so the maximum amount ofsunlight and heat can be gained.

• The concrete floor in the Bosarge Centersoaks up the sun also.

Shaping

Window Placement



• The low hanging roof on the BosargeCenter provides shade over the windowsin the summer and allows sunlight to

come through in the winter.

When the sun comes up,these lights turn off.

When the sun goes down,these lights turn on.

When you enter a room,these lights turn on.

When you leave a room,

these lights turn off.

Oh CFLs,

Oh CFLs,

That wink and shine,

They light up your home,

And bring lots of cheer,

Only to remind you

year after year,

That they might live

longer than you!



Conserving

Tripled paned windows and thermal

envelopes.

Like a Big Mac from McDonalds that

keeps you fuller,They keep your house warmer.



Conserving

Do you like space?

Lets pretend for a moment that

aliens are invading, yea, aliens,and that they are trying to get us….

But they can’t.

Simply because the Bosarge

Center installed this lovely

entryway that acts as an insulating

air lock and doesn’t let anything

in… or out.

Gentlemen,

As you may or may not have

already noticed, these urinals are

waterless.

Yes, no water involved.

Waterless urinals save around

45,000 gallons of water per year.

Yes, 45,000 gallons.



Conserving

See that water inthere?

It used to be rain.

The United States isone of the only

countries in the worldthat uses fresh,drinkable water toflush with.



Like a river flowing from the top of

a mountain down a gutter to a

waterfall, brooks, streams andcreeks cascade to the ocean that is

your storage tank.

If you’re reading this, you’re facing

south.

These windows are facing south.

They get more sun that way.

No lights need to be on inside.

O yea, we’re going au naturel .

Super heated water from sunlight



These concrete floors are hard

So don’t fall.

These concrete floorsaren't soft

So don’t take a nap.

But these concrete floors are warmSo let your feet enjoy the heat!
