Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

THE
BULLITT
CENTRE
January 15
2018
The Bullitt Center is a commercial office building at the intersection of the Central
District neighborhood, and Capitol Hill, Seattle, Washington. It was officially opened on
Earth Day, April 22, 2013. The Bullitt Center was designed to be the greenest
commercial building in the world, and was certified as a "Living Building" by the
International Living Future Institute in April 2015.
2. THE BULLITT CENTRE
The bullitt Centre is High Performance commercial office building at the intersection of the Central District
neighborhood, and Capitol Hill, Seattle, Washington. It was officially opened on Earth Day, April 22, 2013. The Bullitt
Center was designed to be the greenest commercial building in the world, and was certified as a "Living Building" by
the International Living Future Institute in April 2015.This building manifests the vision of Denis Hayes, president and
CEO of the Bullitt Foundation.
The building has exceeded expectations for thermal comfort and day lighting, as well as energy use during its
first year of operation. Throughout the first year of operation the building was warm and draft-free in the
winter, cool and comfortable in the summer, and beautifully day lit year around. Occupants of the building
express a high level of satisfaction with the quality and comfort of the indoor environment.
The location was chosen for its high visibility and accessibility in a neighborhood that is predominantly
residential, yet striving for economic and commercial development. It is a mixed-use neighborhood
surrounded by a variety of locally owned shops and restaurants, parks, public and private schools, medical
centers and hospitals, and a wide variety of housing.
INTEGRATED DESIGN ELEMENTS OF THE BULLITT CENTER:
3. The initial design concept the floor areas and volume could be determined, and the available are for
photovoltaic panels to generate power could be estimated. The result was a floor area of approximately
48,000 sf, and a photovoltaic (PV) array capable of supplying the annual energy requirements for a building
with an energy use index (EUI) of 20 kBTU/sf-year. This was the preliminary energy performance target for
the building.
PERFORMANCE BASED DESIGN
These were the steps followed by the Bullitt Center design team:
Step 1: Set Aggressive Goals
Step 2: Analyze the Site and Climate
High performance design is about designing with nature. It begins by asking three questions: What is here? What will
nature allow us to do here? And what will nature help us do here? This means considering conditions during all 8,760
Hours in a year and includes understanding the day-to-night temperature swings, rainfall, cloud cover, and the hourly
availability of sun, wind and light.
4. The Path to Net Zero
Showing the architecture and engineering energy efficiency measures, and the measures that require
tenant engagement, to reach the target set by the size of the PV power plant.
Step 3: Design for Reduced Energy Demand
The building’s form, envelope, and organization was informed by the climate, use, and building systems,and
rigorously tested, modeled and evaluated to optimize its performance.
Step 4: Use Efficient Equipment
Sensors connected to the building’s central nervous system monitor light levels, CO2 levels, temperatures indoors
and outdoors, as well as wind and sun, to control and deliver heating, cooling, ventilation and illumination efficiently
and effectively.
Step 5: Use Renewable Energy
The sunlight that falls on the building, and the energy source or sink of the earth beneath it, are the only sources of
sustainable, renewable energy used to operate this building and power the equipment inside.
Step 6: Verify Performance
The building’s vital signs will be monitored and its performance analyzed with the goal of continuous improvement in
its operational use of energy.
BUILDING FORM
A variety of building forms were tested, each with a different surface to-volume (S/V) ratio but with the same
proportion of window to wall area. Larger S/V ratios increase winter heat loss; however, this loss may be offset byan
increase in heat gains through the windows on a sunny winter day. These early form studies revealed that the
marginal passive solar heat gains achieved with more south-facing windows were less than the heat lost by having
more wall and window surfaces for heat to escape from. A comparison of multiple massing configurations, from low
surface-to volume cube-like forms to shapes with higher surface-to-volume ratios, showed that compact, low S/V
climate rejecting forms resulted in lower overall energy loads than forms with more envelope area and higher S/V
ratios.
5. WINDOWS & EXTERIOR SHADES
During the design process, numerous windows, glazing, and configurations were evaluated for thermal, daylighting,
and ventilation performance. Kawneer, Crystalite, and Schüco curtain wall systems were top contenders. When
measured against required air tightness (0.25 cfm/sf @ 1.57 psf), water penetration resistance, and thermal
performance, the Schüco system was superior in all three measures.

NATURAL VENTILATION AND PASSIVE
COOLING
The Bullitt Center is a fresh air building. When CO2
sensors detect the need for fresh air, the windows
open. If it is too cold or too hot outside, the
windows remain closed and the ventilation system
provides 100% outside air, tempered during the
heating season by energy recovered from the
exhaust air leaving the building.
7. HEATING & COOLING
Radiant in-floor heating & cooling using ground source
heat pumps, and heat recovery ventilation strategies.
Heating starts with internal gains from people, lights and
equipment. On cool but sunny days, the windows let in
free solar heating. The building envelope is designed to
keep the heat in and the cold out. Under typical occupied
conditions, supplemental heating isn’t needed until
outdoor temperatures drop below about 46 F, the
building’s operational balance point temperature.
When this happens, the building’s ground source heat
pump system kicks-in to produce hot water that is
circulated throughout the building and delivered as
radiant warmth through the building’s concrete floor
slabs. When cooling is necessary, the windows
automatically open to provide cool, outdoor air.
Net-zero energy use: energy use vs. energy production, and the periods of energy deficit and surplus that balance over the course
of the year.
