These drawings are University of Texas graduate student work in the second CRI Think Tank charrette and set for ideas and challenges for green system integration for CCR, ideas on the learning environments in the CCR and the impacts of a "net zero" LEED platinum building on downtown Shreveport, Louisiana
This is a basic overview of the role of assessment or green rating systems in the design of buildings. It looks most closely at the LEED Version 2 system for New Construction and has not yet been updated to address LEED 2009.
This presentation is a basic introduction to the concepts underlying carbon neutral design. It looks at a LEED Platinum building that is also a carbon neutral building for some ideas as to how to achieve this goal.

Wood A Natural Choice - How the Building Material Contributes to Sustainable ...Think Wood
This presentation contributes to the discourse on sustainability that is driving ongoing improvement in the way buildings are designed and constructed. Specifically, it focuses on the growing trends of wood use as a low environmental-impact building material and the effect green building rating systems have on design choices.

The offices are on the second floor of the schickel design building, which is just over 160 years old now.
This project, which was designed by Chuck Lohre, earned LEED platinum on May 5th 2011 at a low cost because of the materials the were salvaged and reused.
Also this was a big step for Green Cincinnati because as the quote stated it marked the first marketing communications office worldwide to receive the LEED platinum certification.

The Green Building 101 Workshop is a full-day workshop providing a general introduction to green building concepts, techniques and materials, including the impact of various building certification systems on building contractor businesses, and the implications of various credentials for their employees.
The goal of the workshop is to provide a participant with the background necessary to make informed decisions about next steps for their business model and/or for training and credentialing. This workshop is designed for contractors interested in gaining the basics of green building. From knowledge to networking, this workshop is your ticket to entering the green economy.
Why should you attend this workshop?
* Gain a foundation in green building
* Learn from experts in the field
* Networking with potential employers
* Subsidized workshop fee
The workshop will be led by staff from The Green Roundtable / NEXUS, and assisted by guest speakers from leading institutions such as ICF and ABCD. All instructors have extensive experience in the field.
This is an equal opportunity program - auxiliary aids and services are available upon request to individuals with disabilities. This workshop is a project of Green Jobs Boston, the Mayor’s Office of Jobs and Community Services and the Boston Redevelopment Authority. A project of the Massachusetts State Energy Sector Partnership, funded in whole by a $6M grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment & Training Administration.
The purpose of the rankings is to help improve the profile and performance of think tanks while highlighting the important work they do for governments and civil societies around the world.

The Pink Think Tank (PTT) gathers prior to each annual conference to consider some of the toughest questions related to ITSM. They present their results to attendees during the program, as well as contribute their expertise in the form of breakout sessions. For the Pink15 conference, the major topic of discussion for the PTT was IT Governance.
This presentation was part of the research and report presented as a breakout session during the event.

This presentation covers facets of Embodied Energy, Embodied Carbon, LCA methods, Benchmarking and establishing baselines, Parameters for sustainable design.
This presentation was given at the OAA Convention in Toronto in 2009 and looks at the implications of the adoption of the 2030 Challenge. It also examines strategies to include to target low carbon design. Several low carbon buildings are studied.
The buildings and landscapes at Duke Farms have been designed to be sustainable. This means that they place minimal demands on non-renewable energy resources and reduce pollution and waste,creating healthier indoor and outdoor environments.
The infrastructure that supports the buildings at Duke Farms uses green technologies such as a solar array, geothermal wells, and a constructed wastewater wetlands to maximize energy efficiency. Renovation of existing structures minimizes the need for new materials and interior spaces are designed with human health and well being in mind by maximizing air flow and providing abundant natural light.

Shreveport's Historic Music Village Comprehensive PlanKim Mitchell
This is a 2006 slide presentation of Shreveport's Historic Music Village Plan to the New Media Consortium national conference. The comprehensive plan for the historic area around Shreveport's Municipal Auditorium, Home of the Louisiana Hayride, was recognized by the Louisiana American Planning Association with their Best Plan Award.
This slide presentation was used to present the InterTech Technology Park plan to the Louisiana American Planning Association and to the Association of University Research Parks. The plan received the "Best Plan Award" from the Louisiana APA in 2002.
This presentation was made to the Shreveport City Council in 2007 at the conclusion of the planning process. The framework for the plan is based on the "village structure" eight elements that are part of the Community Renewal International theory of change.

IES Lighting
Average wattage / s.f. = 2 watts / s.f.
Goal energy wattage ≤ 1.3 watts / s.f.

Existing = 150,000 s.f.
New = 150,000 s.f.
300,000 s.f.
x 2 watts
600,000 watts

Lighting Strategies
A. Better Lights : CFL, LED, Fiber Optic
B. Glare free Lighting : Task, Ambient lighting
C. Brightness Ratios : 70% walls, 80% ceilings, 50% work surface, 20% floors
D. Lighting Controls : Education, timers, sensors, photocell
E. Day lighting : Goal = .5 watts per square foot
Day Lighting
Goal : Daylight factor for Louisiana sky vault = (1000 FL )(2%) = 20 FC
Strategies :
2% General Spaces / rooms
5% Conference / Office
8% Atrium / Lobby / Public Areas
Example: (85 tons)(≥ 20% goal for day lighting) = 17 tons
85 tons – 17 tons reduced from daylight = 68 tons for lighting
(60% improvement from 170.5 tons per IES 2 watts / s.f.)
