Panel presentation of transformation of conventional design to LEED Silver. Case study of one of first "intelligent" buildings in Philadelphia area.
2. What is the Difference?
• Start with a Great Building"
• Simultaneous LEED Momentum"
• Add Corporate Re-Direction to
LEED: Silver"
• How to make the shift mid-stream"
• What are the differences"
• What is a ‘Smart Building’"

3. Great Conventional Design
What & Where:
• Tear Down Rebuild :"
" 5.6 acre off Rte 202"
• Program: 205,250 gsf
Architecture and
Building Common
Interiors with 85,000 gsf
2 deck garage"
§ Completion : January
2008
Design Advantages:
• Good Orientation
• Great Glazing
• Sited close to Public
Transit
• Superior mechanical
systems
• Previously developed
site
• Construction Waste
Management underway Constraints:
• Steel structure • Under construction – fully framed with slabs being placed
