WATER AS DESIGN INSPIRATION IN ARCHITECTURE AND ENGINEERING The Design of the UNC Coastal Studies Institute Don Kranbuehl, AIA, PE, LEED AP Associate, Clark Nexsen Lead Designer / Project Architect Avery Monroe, PE Lead Mechanical Engineer Project Team: Architects: Clark Nexsen Associate Architect: Cahoon & Kasten Civil Engineer: Albermarle and Associates Mechanical Engineer: RMF Engineering Structural Engineers: Stewart Engineering Landscape Architects: CLH Design

WATER AS DESIGN INSPIRATION IN ARCHITECTURE AND ENGINEERING IMPORTANCE OF NATURAL WATERS: CANALS AND CROATAN SOUND SURROUNDING WETLANDS SALT WATER FROM ATLANTIC OCEAN HURRICANES AND WIND DRIVEN RAIN BUILDING WATER SYSTEMS: RAINWATER SYSTEM STORMWATER SYSTEM GRAY WATER SYSTEM CONDENSATE WATER GEOTHERMAL WELL WATER

COASTAL STUDIES INSTITUTE • Research Building (50,000 sf), Marine Service Building (12,000sf) • Construction Cost for Campus - $22,000,000 • Future Phase: Residential Dorms – (14,000 sf)

Research Building – 52,000 SF • Seeking LEED Gold • Research Labs for Marine Archeology, Coastal Processes and Engineering • Teaching Classrooms and Labs • Administration and Research Offices

SITE • Outerbanks, NC, Roanoke Island • Croatan Sound • Historic Indian Site

SITE • Manteo, NC pop. 1400 • Surrounded by Wetlands and Marshes Preserve • Above Freshwater Aquifer for County Well Water

• Buildable Site Created by Dredged Canals • Dredged Canals provide water access and views to sound • Narrow southern exposure

SITE

• Protect surrounding wetlands and waterways • Capture views of sound and canals

SITE DESIGN GOALS

• Balance Cut and Fill • Minimize Footprint and Impervious

SITE DESIGN GOALS

• Balance Cut and Fill • Minimize Footprint and Impervious • Treat Stormwater on site

SITE DESIGN GOALS

• Balance Cut and Fill • Minimize Footprint and Impervious • Treat Stormwater on site • Treat all Wastewater on site

SITE DESIGN GOALS

GEOTHERMAL HVAC SYSTEM • MODULAR HEAT PUMP CHILLER/HEATER

DESIGN PROCESS OF CLOSED LOOP HVAC Loads (Trane Trace) Chiller/Heater Based on Peak Simultaneous Demand

Five 50-Ton Modules Geothermal Well

Calculations Based on Actual Test Well Modeled in Trane Trace Used Excel Spreadsheet to Calculate Number of Wells & Depth of Wells

• Wells penetrated three aquifers • Possible Contamination from brackish waters • Possible Increase in Aquifer Temperature • Primary Water Supply for could be compromised

Original Design Concerns

• Wells penetrated three aquifers • Possible Contamination from brackish waters • Possible Increase in Aquifer Temperature • Primary Water Supply for county could be compromised

Original Design Concerns

“YORKTOWN” SALT WATER AQUIFER

“LOWER PRINCIPAL” FRESH WATER AQUIFER

• Open Loop with Three Supply Wells and Dump into Sound • Cost effective • Potentially damaging to sound and ecosystem

• Open Loop with Three Supply and Four Injection Wells

• Costly • High Maintenance • Could contaminate fresh water aquifer

• Open Loop System Utilizing Raw Water from Dare County

• First proposed by County as best protection for aquifer • Most energy saving option • Public Public Partnership with Memorandum of Understanding
