The document discusses sustainable architectural practices and trends in 2017 and beyond. It summarizes that LEED v4.0 certification is now required for all new projects, highlighting key changes like increased points for renewable energy and new water metering prerequisites. California's sustainability roadmap aims for all new state buildings to be zero net energy by 2025. Innovative sustainable strategies from 2016, like the first LEED Platinum certified landscape in Pittsburgh and Rio Olympics' carbon mitigation efforts, are discussed as informing future trends.

2. From hotels to healthcare, LEED is everywhere you look. In
just under 20 years, LEED revolutionized the green building
marketplace, becoming the international standard for the
design, construction and operation of high-performance
structures.

4. As of October 31, 2016, all new projects that are considering
LEED certification must meet LEED v4.0 requirements. The
new version claims to be streamlined, specialized, and allow
for a better user experience, but what does this really mean
and how will it affect our projects in the future?

9. LEED AP vs LEED AP with Speciality5

10. For the early adopters of LEED green building professional
credentials, the GBCI holds a special place for you in their da-
tabase. Your LEED AP without specialty-more warmly referred
to as ‘Legacy LEED AP’- never expires.

-- GBES

11. The Bad News
For LEED APs without specialty,
if you have not specialized yet,
nor reported continuing educa-
tion units every two years, you
must re-test to get a specialty.
The USGBC now recognizes
your knowledge level as equiva-
lent to the LEED Green Associ-
ate. So you don’t have to take
the basic exam. But you do
have to take the two-hour exam
related to the specialty you
want to be recognized for.
And after that, you must keep
up with your continuing educa-
tion.

15. San Francisco Goals
San Francisco was named Greenest City in the US. Since then,
smart city strategies have been thought of as one way to take sus-
tainability to the next level in San Francisco.
2017
2020
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25%
from 1997 levels. SF Environment is promot-
ing smart commuting, electric transportation,
and biofuels to help meet goals.
- Achieve zer0 waste by 2020
(currently waste diversion rate = 80%)
2020
- 100% carbon-free. SF Environment is imple-
menting a comprehensive suite of incentive
programs to improve the performance of
new and existing buildings

63. Rooftop Park: Instead of a five-acre roof absorbing and radiating
heat, the 5.4 acre rooftop park will absorb carbon dioxide from bus
exhaust, absorb and filter stormwater, and provide a habitat for
local wildlife

64. Reduced

Significantly reduces
emissions of air pol-
lutants, including re-
ducing carbon diox-
ide emissions by tens
of thousands of tons
each year, by encour-
aging public transit use

Area

65. Strategy Overview

66. Extensive Use of
Natural Lighting:
Lighting is the big-
gest energy use in the
Transbay Transit Cen-
ter building. Light col-
umns and skylights will
be used extensively to
bring natural light into
the building and reduce
energy costs.

USE
Geothermal
System:
To significantly reduce
the energy required
to cool the building, a
geothermal system will
harness the relatively
low temperature of the
ground to chill water
passively

69. Natural Ventilation:
The building is
substantially a naturally
ventilated facility.
The bus deck is open on
the sides andwill not
require exhaust or air
filtration – similar to an
open parking garage.

82. Biophilic Design
The Social Aspect of Sustainablity

83. Biophilic Design is a focused area of research that
brings people to the center of the sustainability
discussion. It attempts to scientifically understand
how people interact with their environment and,
consequently, how their environment can be de-
signed to better support them.
