Case Study: Sustainable Mixed-Use Development in Historic Urban Areas
Case Study: Sustainable Mixed-Use Development in Historic Urban AreasSustainable Performance Institute
As the flagship project for the next downtown Boston neighborhood slated for growth, Atlantic Wharf will be the city of Boston’s first LEED Gold mixed-use development. CBT Architects presents a case study on this new one million square foot project that includes approximately 65 residential units, ground-level retail and public spaces, six stories of below-grade parking, and 31 floors of office space that will bring urban activity directly to the Fort Point Channel water’s edge.
The new sustainable development is at the base of a series of restored and renovated historic structures that preserve the texture and streetscape of this site, integrated with a modern highrise glass tower. By preserving the south and east façades of the historic warehouses, using a very energy-efficient curtainwall, and employing green roof technologies, Atlantic Wharf will be the a centerpiece of Boston's green development.INTEGRATION OF GREEN FACADES IN HIGHRISE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS.pdf
This research has been emphasized on integration of plants in highrise building through green facades design which play a vital role for the energy conservation by the building as well as improving the living quality into these vertical cities. In this study, it has been studied to establish the necessity of planting to incorporate into highrise building, for
10
the well being of our economy, society and the environment. The provisions of integrate plants into highrise includes the four possible options like, Green roof, Green wall, Biofilter and Indoor potting plants which can be incorporate into the design. Benefits and impacts have been studied in terms of energy savings and indoor environmental qualities.
NEED OF PROJECT:
Aesthetic enhancement and sound reduction are the common benefits of green facades. They can also serve as an “extra insulation” of the building envelope. In winter, evergreen vegetation layer decreases the wind flow around the building façade.In addition heat radiation of the external walls is insulated by the dense plant foliage and thus help prevent building to be cooled down. Of all sun light that falls on the leaves, merely 5–30% of energy is passed through the leaf. The others may be reflected, transformed into heat, used for photosynthesis or evapotranspiration.This blocking of the direct sunlight disposal ensures a cooling effect in warmer climates and help the reduction of heat island effect especially in urban areas. Due to the evapotranspiration, green façades cool the heated air through evaporation of water. A research in Australia quantified energy saving and indicated that the green façade can save 9.5-18% of the cooling energy consumption in commercial buildings. Relevantly improves the building’s energy efficiency and produces ecological benefits for a more sustainable urban environment. The green envelope also reduces the quantity of UV light and cause a positive effect on building durability.

Student to Superhero: Freshmen Tell Their Research Stories
The document discusses using comics instead of essays for reflective assignments to encourage more creativity, personality, and engagement from students. It notes that typical reflection essays tend to sound the same and may not genuinely reflect students' learning. By using comics, students could show their metacognition and understanding of new knowledge in a more creative format that incorporates humor and their own voice. The goal would be to foster deeper reflection through a more creative medium compared to traditional essays.
Teaching visualization: effective communication in visual formats

Annis Lee Adams and Margot Hanson from Golden Gate University and California Maritime Academy presented at the Hawaii Library Association Conference on November 9, 2013 about tracking and managing information literacy efforts. Their presentation discussed using tools like Google Forms, LibAnalytics, Gimlet, LibStats, mind-mapping software, BaseCamp and Trello to track reference interactions, create knowledge bases, map literacy to curriculums, and manage information literacy projects. An online handout was available with additional details.
Speed Dating for Project Management Software
This document summarizes a presentation on selecting project management software for libraries. It discusses common project management principles and challenges libraries face in selecting software. It provides case studies on libraries that used Trello and other tools. The presentation evaluates Microsoft Project, Basecamp, Jira, and Trello for their fit with different project needs and budgets. It concludes that the right software depends on a library's specific projects and team size, and that tools alone don't ensure effective project management.
Tripping Hazards: Where Do Patrons Stumble on our Website?
The document summarizes a project to analyze usage data and conduct user interviews to identify areas for improvement on a university library website. Data from Google Analytics, surveys, and interviews showed patrons got stuck navigating sections and were unclear on what content could be found in certain areas. Changes were then implemented to titles, navigation tabs, and content based on these findings. Future analysis of usage and usability testing after changes was discussed to continue iterating on improvements.
Visual Slide Design: Translating ideas into images
This document discusses using visuals to enhance slide design and learning. It notes that pictures are remembered better than words, especially with brief exposures. Using images and text together maximizes retention. Visuals should reinforce the same information. The "picture superiority effect" is widely used in marketing through visuals in posters, brochures, and reports. Research shows recognition doubles for pictures versus text. The document provides tips for effective visual slide design such as using one idea per slide and leaving white space. It encourages taking time to translate ideas into images.
It’s your library!
Staff workshop help during campus power outage on June 25, 2013 for Cal Maritime staff. We used the Cephalonian Method (http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/insrv/educationandtraining/infolit/cephalonianmethod/index.html) and the workshop was inspired by those at Loyola Marymount (http://www.carl-acrl.org/conference2012/2012CARLproceedings/SupportingourInvisiblePatronsPoster.pdf).
Give 'em the business: Be a biz wiz with interactive business reference tools
This document provides tips for small business owners on three key areas: marketing strategies to promote their business using social media platforms, low-cost ideas to enhance their online presence, and simple ways to gather customer feedback to improve their business.
Free Biz Resources: Visualization Tools for Business Research
The document summarizes free online visualization tools for business research. It outlines tools for international data like Hans Rosling TED talks on statistics, Google Public Data Explorer, and World Bank data. Finance tools include Yahoo! Finance, Google Domestic Trends, and NY Times business markets. Marketing and demographic tools include the NY Times Mapping America project, Gallup consumer spending index, and Duke University advertising collections. Contact information is provided for the authors.
GGU Library Assessment Poster Showcase 2012
The primary goal of the GGU University Library is to help students develop the research skills needed for academic and professional success. To achieve this, the library conducts surveys of students and faculty to understand needs and assess services. Analysis of usage statistics also informs the library's objectives. Key findings indicate students want easy access to library resources from mobile devices and a single search across databases. The library has implemented a single search and mobile access to the catalog and website to address these needs based on survey feedback.
Throw out the hash marks! Dig deeper with reference statistics
Accompanying handout at http://tinyurl.com/delayhanson. Hawaii Library Association Conference, Nov 5, 2010. Free, open-source, or low-cost tools can give you reports about frequency of questions, types of questions, history of responses, and more. Logs of reference interactions provide FAQs tailored to patron questions, and we can learn from the expertise of our colleagues by building on their responses to similar questions.
Terra incognita with no GPS: A case study approach to mapping assessment
Amy Hofer & Margot Hanson. From Loex-of-the-West 2010 conference program: "We need evidence of our value to justify the library budget, gain buy-in from faculty, and please accreditors, but the process of gathering meaningful evidence can be quite a challenge. After all, were you trained to do this kind of research? Neither were we, but the Assessment Coordinator that our university hired in preparation for a WASC visit guided us through our study design. Drawing on this relationship with a neutral expert outside the library, two business librarians at Golden Gate University designed an effective learning assessment of our instruction to our school’s intensive ESL program. We’ll use the valuable lessons we learned as a starting point for small-group exploration of some real-world assessment territory."
Upstairs-downstairs: Working with a campus assessment coordinator and other a...
Guess what -- you don't need to do learning assessment on a 45-minute one-shot presentation. Instruction librarians at Golden Gate University learned this and much more when an Assessment Coordinator arrived to help prepare our school for WASC. Oakleaf & Hinchliffe (2008) identify lack of coordination as one of the barriers librarians face in conducting assessment, and we found that having a smart, committed, and trustworthy coordinator made all the difference to our research project. We leveraged the Assessment Coordinator's expertise to stay focused on a project that produced valid and useful results from an in-depth learning assessment to measure student learning in an English Language Learners program. Our presentation focuses on the people connections that made this assessment work: between librarian collaborators, with students and instructors in the ELL program, and all the way upstairs to our University-wide assessment coordinator. We'll talk about how we designed our assessment and - phew - let go of post-instruction evaluation forms. Participants will get a fresh look at how information literacy assessment can benefit from upstairs-downstairs collaboration (floor plan not included)!
