b u i l d i n g o f a m e r i c a g r e e n b o o k

Welcome to the first annual edition of the Building of America Green Book. For more than a decade,

we at Construction Communications have dedicated ourselves to linking owners, architects, contrac-

tors, project team members, suppliers and vendors, helping them learn from one another’s successes.

Through case studies we have highlighted some of the country’s top new construction and renovation

projects in a host of markets, ranging from health care, education and government to mixed-use devel-

opments and multifamily residential.

In this newest publication in our lineup, we have narrowed our focus to sustainable design and con-

struction. As the world concentrates more and more on the need to protect our environment and our

natural resources, the construction industry finds it of utmost importance to stay on the cutting edge

and consider its contributions to the effort. To that end, green design and construction projects are

on the rise, as are projects registering for and achieving certification under the U.S. Green Building

Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) program.

Despite the increase in sustainable projects being built, there is still much to learn about the processes

involved in green design and construction. And, there is a growing need for companies that can help

attain these sustainability goals. With this publication, we hope to provide current industry informa-

tion about relevant topics relating to green design and construction, and also link companies that are

capable of providing the necessary services and products to help owners achieve sustainability, and

even LEED® certification. Within these pages you can read articles on hot topics such as building infor-

mation modeling (BIM) from industry experts and those who have been there before.

If you are considering pursuing sustainable design and construction methods for your next project, we

hope you will find this publication to be a vital tool in your decision making. And if you haven’t thought

about implementing green features, we hope this publication will provide you with the information you

need to make sustainability a priority — for your employees, tenants, residents and the community

as a whole.

Sincerely,

Jamie Rawcliffe

Dear readers,Green building has been making a lot of headlines lately — it seems as if you can’t turn on the TV, read a maga-

zine or attend a conference without hearing about it. You have probably heard buzz about Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) and wondered how this green building rating system applies to you.

The LEED® green building certification system, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), is a voluntary building certification program that defines high-performance green buildings, which are more environmentally responsible, healthier and more profitable structures than conventional facilities. LEED® was created to define “green” building and evaluates buildings in five credit areas: Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere, Materials & Resources, and Indoor Environmental Quality. Within these credit areas, points are available for building projects and, depending on the number of points a project earns, determine the level of certification the building will be awarded. The four progressive levels of LEED® certification are Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum.

What is Green Building? USGBC, the nation’s leading nonprofit organization for advancing buildings that are environmentally responsible,

profitable and healthy places to live and work, has been working to define green building through the council’s many green building educational programs, tools and resources, which include the LEED® Green Building Rating System, the council’s annual Greenbuild Conference & Expo, online and in-person educational workshops, and a network of more than 74 local chapters and affiliates.

USGBC was founded in 1993 in response to the growing recognition that something had to be done to reduce the impact of the built environment on our natural environment. Buildings are part of the problem, but also part of the solution. In the U.S., buildings account for 39 percent of primary energy use, 71 percent of electricity consumption and use 15 trillion gallons of water per year. Buildings produce 38 percent of the U.S. carbon dioxide emissions — a primary cause of global climate change — and consume 40 percent of raw materials globally (3 billion tons annually). But high-performance green buildings dramatically reduce this impact: the average LEED®-certified building saves 30 percent to 50 percent of energy, cuts harmful carbon dioxide emissions by 38 percent, produces 70 percent less solid waste, and uses 40 percent less water.

The organization was formed to lead the national consensus, and to help the building and construction industry achieve a transformation to high-performance green buildings.

The council’s membership is as diverse as the marketplace itself. Members include building owners and end-users, real estate developers, facility managers, architects, designers, engineers, general contractors, subcontractors, product and building system manufacturers, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations.

Leaders from within each of these sectors participate in the development of the LEED® Rating System and help guide the direction of the council through volunteer service on USGBC’s open committees.

The Growth of Green BuildingDriven by the rapid adoption of LEED® in both the public and private sectors, the green building movement

has grown exponentially in just the last few years. Launched with just a few hundred members’ companies, the council now has more than 15,000 member organizations. Since LEED® was released in 2000, more than 3.6 billion square feet of commercial building space has been registered or certified under LEED®.

In fact, various LEED® initiatives including legislation, executive orders, resolutions, ordinances, policies and incentives are found in 78 cities, 24 counties, 19 towns, 28 states, 12 federal agencies, 13 public school jurisdictions and 36 institutions of higher education across the U.S.

LEED® is available for all building types, including residential construction, schools, retail and neighborhood development, which corresponds with the growth of green building across all market sectors.

The Need for Green BuildingGreen building’s rapid growth is a reflection of the many benefits, both environmental and economic, it offers

building owners, building occupants and the surrounding communities. The impact on human health is also substantial. We spend 90 percent of our time indoors, and pollutant levels can

actually be much higher inside than outside. But green buildings have superior ventilation and use paints and furnishings that are free of toxic chemicals. Green buildings also have abundant natural daylight and allow the occupants to control the temperature and lighting in their personal space, which improves productivity and morale. Studies have shown that kids in green schools have higher test scores, that patients in green hospitals recover more quickly, and that we can save billions of dollars annually in reduced sick time and increased worker productivity by building green.

Green building is one of the most important and exciting movements of our time. Green building is changing the way we design, build, operate and think about buildings. LEED® is a tool that is transforming our built environment and opening new doors for professionals from every sector of the building industry. As more and more building owners realize the many environmental and economic benefits of building green, the demand for professionals who understand and can implement LEED® will greatly increase. Soon, going green won’t be newsworthy — it will simply be the way we do business.

How to Get InvolvedThe easiest way to become more involved in green building is by joining one of the 74 local chapters and affili-

ates comprising more than 20,000 members. USGBC chapters provide local green building resources, education and leadership opportunities. Local chapter members can connect with green building experts in their area, develop local green building strategies and tour green building projects.

What is LEED® and Why Should I Care?Approximately 12 years ago, a non-

profit organization by the name of the

U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)

developed the building rating sys-

tem known as Leadership in Energy

and Environmental Design (LEED®).

This rating system evaluates new and

renovated buildings on their sustain-

ability, energy efficiency and environ-

mental impact. LEED® addresses an

array of different building types and

emphasizes state-of-the-art strate-

gies for sustainable site development,

water savings, energy efficiency,

materials and resources selection, and

indoor environmental quality. There

are many advantages to building an

environmentally friendly and ener-

gy-efficient building in accordance

with the LEED® program. Some of

these benefits include reduced energy

costs, healthier work environments,

reduced water and sewage costs, and

an overall reduction in the building’s

carbon footprint.

LEED® is a practical rating tool for

green building design and construc-

tion that provides immediate and

measurable results for building own-

ers and occupants through reducing

energy consumption and improv-

ing the environmental quality in the

building as well as the surrounding

areas. There are four levels of LEED®

certification, ranging from certified

to silver, gold and platinum. Each

level requires an increased number of

points, gained through achieving a

greater level of energy efficiency and

improved environmental quality. The

higher the level of LEED® certification

a building attains, the greater the

degree of return on investment for

the building owner.

There is a growing trend toward

constructing LEED®-certified buildings

as evidenced by the fact that there are

LEED®-certified projects in all 50 states

and in 69 countries. Identified in

the McGraw Hill Green Building

Smart Market Report of 2006,

approximately 10 percent of all com-

mercial construction starts are expect-

ed to be green buildings by 2010.

Energy conservation is one of

the most important concepts in the

LEED® building model. LEED® identi-

fies the area of “optimized energy

performance” as one of the primary

energy-related sections in its building

rating system. Another area of energy

conservation, which is rarely associ-

ated with building construction, is the

reduction of fuel consumption related

to the transportation and harvest-

ing of building materials. The LEED®

process encourages project teams to

purchase building materials harvested

and produced locally, thus reducing

the production of greenhouse gases.

A LEED® Accredited Professional

(AP) is designated in the LEED® com-

munity by demonstrating a thor-

ough understanding of all aspects

of the LEED® process. This certifica-

tion includes a full understanding

of sustainable sites, water efficiency,

energy and atmosphere, materials

and resources, indoor environmental

quality, and innovation and design

process. A LEED AP must pass a rigor-

ous test demonstrating proficiency in

all of these areas. Adding a LEED AP

to your project development plans

helps reduce and overcome much of

the complexity associated with the

LEED® green building rating system.

In the past eight years, approximately

70,000 individuals from around the

world have obtained their designa-

tion as a LEED AP, helping to create

a greater number of environmentally

friendly work sites and greener build-

ing construction. n

First LEED®-certified fire rescue station in Florida emphasizes the county’s

new green building initiativesIn Alachua County, Fla., the board

of county commissioners uses the

best practices when exercising con-

cepts associated with “green” build-

ings and sustainability. The county’s

facilities management division has

also been very active in the sustain-

ability and energy-conservation move-

ment, endorsing the involvement of

its employees in various professional

trade organizations, including the U.S.

Green Building Council (USGBC) and

the Construction Owners Association

of America (COAA). Participation in

local and national organizations keeps

employees abreast of state-of-the-art

technologies, industry trends, energy

relations and cost-saving opportunities

as well as the impact of regional and

national changes in the construction

market on county government.

In early 2000, the commission passed

an energy reduction resolution requir-

ing a 33 percent reduction in energy

and water use. This led the county to

develop a countywide energy reso-

lution policy. Since then, the county

has adopted a strategy of designing

and building green buildings that con-

form to the ratings specified under

the USGBC’s Leadership in Energy and

Environmental Design (LEED®) pro-

gram. According to the directives of

the Alachua County Commission, all

new county buildings will be designed

and built to meet green standards;

so, a new language was added in the

request for proposals (RFP) for architec-

ture and engineering services and con-

struction management services requir-

ing bidders to have certified LEED®

professionals on staff who understand

sustainable design and construction

and the LEED® program.

In keeping with this new direction,

the county’s new Fire Rescue Station

10 in East Gainesville is the first LEED®-

certified fire station in the county,

as well as the entire state of Florida,

earning a gold rating under the LEED®

program. Originally designed back in

early 2000, the project was expected

to take 13 months, but was delayed

due to funding issues. The county

later acquired project funding within

the bond process. After acquiring the

necessary funds, the county commis-

sion directed the design team to revise

the plans, ensuring that the project

would qualify as a green building and

meet the LEED® certification standards.

February 26, 2008 marked the ground-

breaking ceremony for Fire Rescue

Station 10. Encompassing 5,521 square

feet, the new station cost $1.8 million

to construct and will house two res-

cue units, #10 and #11, as well as the

District 5 Chief.

Bryan Schneider, Capital Projects

Coordinator for Alachua County, said,

“It was an exciting challenge to take

(a previously drawn) non-LEED®-

rated project and adapt it to LEED®

specifications and standards, still

remaining within the previous budget

and timeline.”

Some of the station’s most out-

standing aspects are its sustainable

features, including the use of mate-

rials with a low emission of volatile

organic compounds (VOC) to improve

indoor air quality, which makes for a

better work environment; a solar hot

water storage system for the heating

of potable water that saves 70 percent

energy; an underground cistern for

rain water reclamation of up to 60,000

gallons per year; solar tubes for pas-

sive lighting, which combined with the

building’s windows will provide the

facility with daylight saturation to 75

percent of indoor spaces; and a highly

efficient HVAC system paired with a

thermal comfort system that will keep

everyone more comfortable and at the

same time save 20 percent energy.

Additionally, 43.5 percent of the mate-

rials used on the project are regional

materials, stimulating the local econo-

my and reducing the need to transport

materials from far away, and more than

63 percent of the project’s waste was

recycled and diverted from landfills.

The project was completed on time

and within budget; the grand opening

was held on January 27, 2009.

In all, the station is a true effort on

the part of the board of county com-

missioners, the department of public

safety, and the facilities management

division to blast Alachua County to

the forefront regarding sustainability,

water conservation and energy-sav-

ing measures. It will not only com-

ply with the board’s energy reduction

and water conservation policy, but it

will also be a genuine success at envi-

ronmental stewardship, reducing the

county’s carbon footprint.

Alachua County Facilities Manager

Charlie Jackson said, “Building green

makes good business sense, as it

reduces operating cost over the life of

the building and ultimately provides

the county with another high perform-

ing and sustainable building.” n

Building Information Modeling (BIM): innovative technology to aid efficient

green building design and constructionIn its early stages, the current

Obama administration is focusing

serious attention on rebuilding infra-

structure. This is not just roads, bridg-

es and highways. It also means retro-

fitting and designing new sustainable

buildings. Call them green buildings

or hybrid buildings; at a minimum

they will be less wasteful and a whole

lot more responsible than the major-

ity of our current building stock. And

best yet, they will reduce their oper-

ating costs by reducing their energy

and water use.

As adoption of the U.S. Green

Building Council’s (USGBC)

Leadership in Energy and

Environmental Design (LEED®) rating

system grows, and with buildings

accounting for 48 percent of carbon

dioxide emissions, many owners and

operators are now requiring that

new building projects achieve LEED®

certification, which rates a project

based on site design, indoor envi-

ronmental quality and efficient use of

energy, materials and water. A high

LEED® rating recognizes the quality

of a green building design and also

qualifies the project for an array of

state and local government financial

incentives —– an important benefit

for the building owner. LEED®-certi-

fied buildings also have an excellent

return on investment due to lower

operating costs.

Achieving LEED® certification

requires complex engineering analy-

sis of the project’s design. Elements

that need to be analyzed for the

accurate prediction of building per-

formance are the efficient use of

energy, water, materials and land

in a final building design. Of the

projects that have these analyses

included in their design process,

the design firms have typically out-

sourced these engineering analyses,

as it requires specialized expertise

and is time-consuming and costly to

do. But now, software solutions for

the building information modeling

(BIM) process, such as the Autodesk

Revit Architecture, Civil 3D, Ecotect

and Green Building Studios, provide

robust design models containing the

necessary level of detail as well as the

embedded intelligence for the analy-

ses to be done on all projects.

By adopting BIM, architects,

engineers, contractors and owners

can create coordinated digital build-

ing design information and docu-

mentation, and use that information

to more accurately visualize and sim-

ulate performance, appearance and

cost. This in turn allows project teams

to deliver the project faster, more

economically and with the potential

for reduced environmental impact.

A wealth of design data can be

extracted from the building infor-

mation model and input to various

analysis programs. With analysis tools

such as Autodesk Green Building

Studio, this process has been stream-

lined to the point where architects

can perform early whole building

energy, water and carbon emission

analyses in-house, reducing the over-

all cost of the design process.

These new analysis tools help proj-

ect teams quickly develop exper-

tise on building conditions, visual-

ize and consider the whole building

system, perform powerful analysis

from immense stores of data, and

simulate and interpret the results in a

meaningful way. Firms can then iter-

ate design for improvement based

on accurate analysis and deliver more

sustainable designs.

Green Building Studio, for exam-

ple, is a web-based analysis tool that

easily integrates with major BIM solu-

tions. With this new capability, archi-

tects can more effectively use better

information created in the build-

ing information model for testing

building performance and validating

design options over the Internet.

This is a huge break-through for

green building design and LEED®

qualification. The incorporation of

connectors directly into the major

BIM and CAD vendor applications

enables the web service to use design

information in the early stages of

development. It creates a geometri-

cally correct equivalent energy model

and provides almost immediate feed-

back on the energy implications of

architectural design scenarios.

Once a designer enters the design

data into an analysis tool, results

are reported, providing energy statis-

tics for the project and highlighting

potential opportunities to improve

the design based on site conditions,

such as renewable energy and rain

water harvesting. Design teams can

then modify the building model

and repeat the process to see what

impact a design change has on the

building’s energy and water efficien-

cy. Results can also be shared with

the entire project team in order to

collaborate on desired sustainable

outcomes.

This simple process requires

enormous back-end computational

power. Behind the scenes, these

web-based tools rely on a large net-

work of relational databases contain-

ing hourly weather data, design data

and regionally relevant libraries of

default building characteristics with

common energy-code baselines.

With the USGBC’s recent imple-

mentation of LEED® 2009, energy and

water analysis based on local envi-

ronmental conditions is even more

important. LEED® 2009, according to

the USGBC, will incorporate “techni-

cal advancements such as bioregion-

al credits that would enable LEED® to

continue to evolve as a better, more

refined tool for green building.”

Through the BIM process,

using innovative software tools,

project teams will be able to more

accurately analyze energy and

water use, leading to a more

efficient building design and lower

operating cost for the owner. And

it lets architects perform these func-

tions in-house, which makes sustain-

able design services more afford-

able for the building owner while

also increasing profitability for the

architectural firm —– making build-

ing information modeling a win-win

proposition for everyone.

MicroGuard®Space-age Innovation Leads to Earth-friendly Applications

It’s a brave new world, and Adsil, Inc.’s proprietary MicroGuard® family of space-age-based products is pioneering the way into the 21st century’s global green universe.

Being green is a way of corporate life and a product commitment for Adsil, Inc., a company headquartered in Daytona Beach, Fla. Its products are sold worldwide through distributorships with factory-trained, certified installers. From the floors at Einstein Bagel and McDonald’s restaurants to the memorial blocks at PSC Park, home of the San Fran-cisco Giants, Adsil has made its crystal-clear mark on myriad places and spaces.

Founded in 1998, Adsil entered the market for HVAC coating in 2000, expanding to coating other surfaces in 2001. It has quickly risen to prominence, becoming a global leader in protective maintenance coatings, waterproof sealers and surface cleaners ap-plicable to a broad array of commercial and industrial uses.

Fascinatingly, the concept for Adsil’s earth-friendly MicroGuard® began in space. President James Gibson reports, “The original formula was developed by Dr. John Schutt, a current Adsil shareholder, when he was with NASA. The formulas were refined to work in the ‘real world’ by Raj Dhawan, Adsil’s current director of research and development.”

MicroGuard® is a patented coating that is inorganic and forms a glass film that chemically bonds to metal substrates except ferrous metal. It bonds to stainless steel,

ceramic and concrete-based surfaces as well as painted metal. The MicroGuard® line preserves, prolongs and protects an amazing array of assets. Product finishes have been specifically designed to protect non-ferrous metals, concrete floors, walls and other masonry surfaces, ceramic tile and grout, terrazzo, decorative stone, barrel tile, and pre-finished roof surfaces. Not surprisingly, MicroGuard® market applications range widely, from architectural and commercial uses to industrial maintenance and specific original equipment manufacturer (OEM) market sectors.

Gibson confirms MicroGuard® enhances sustainability. “By enabling the use of eco-friendly cleaners and saving energy while extending the efficient operating life of floors, walls, metal and HVAC systems, the MicroGuard® coating makes building materials last longer and perform to design.”

Adsil’s management team and staff possess the experience, knowledge, back-ground and expertise to address the surface protection and maintenance requirements for its many business segments. In other words, the company boasts not only the right products, but also the right people to assure customers of ultimate satisfaction.

MicroGuard® products: what they are, what they doMicroGuard® is green in two key ways. First, the products protect surfaces from

environmental attack. Second, they enable the use of cleaners that do not harm the envi-ronment. The MicroGuard® coating is inert when dry, and can be easily and conveniently disposed of in a variety of ways since it is basically silica.

Gibson explains how MicroGuard® works: “Each of the four product formulas pro-tects surfaces against chemical and environmental attack. All are extremely hydrophobic and exhibit high chemical resistance. MicroGuard® products not only reduce cleaning time and materials by 30 percent or more; they also enable the use of eco-friendly clean-ers without damage to the environment.”

He adds, “The MicroGuard® HVAC coating prevents corrosion. According to EPA and DOE test data, the coating reduces energy use by 12 percent — or 60 to 90 pounds of NOx/CO2 — depending on the power sources.”

HVAC systems lose efficiency in two primary ways — coil fouling and surface loss due to corrosion. “Our AD35 product reduces both of these losses,” says Gibson. In fact, the system’s life cycle can be enhanced by one and a half to two times that of an

uncoated coil. This enhancement comes at a bargain price of approximately one-eighth of the cost of replacing a unit due to corrosion losses.

Gibson firmly believes MicroGuard® is the product of choice. “The choice lies in the product’s inorganic nature. It will not yellow, will not burn, is easy to clean with non-environ-mentally harmful products, has high wear resistance, improves the coefficient of friction by 15 percent in tile floors, and, when compared to competing coatings, has an excellent rate of return on investment.”

MicroGuard® customers: who they are, what they need Customers in a spectrum of industries across the country and around the world seek

MicroGuard® to fulfill many needs, including sustainability. In regard to the latter — a key priority today — the product’s use reduces the energy consumption of HVAC equipment, protects surfaces against ultraviolet (UV) light degradation, renews faded edifice surfaces, mitigates both interior and exterior mold and mildew, and overall extends the life of cus-tomer assets and property. Customers also appreciate MicroGuard’s® ability to increase the ease and decrease the cost of cleaning and maintenance.

“Basically, our product beautifully protects, preserves and prolongs surfaces,” says Gibson. “The product’s versatility and effectiveness result in many successful applications and satisfied customers.”

Recent projects include the following:

¤ The University of Florida’s use of MicroGuard® has reduced cleaning time, labor and materials by 30 percent while garnering the institution a green award from its asso-ciation for using eco-friendly cleaners.

¤ MicroGuard’s® HVAC product has been effectively used by Home Depot, Best Buy and Darden Foods to prevent corrosion, extend the efficient operating longevity of HVAC units, and save energy.

¤ New York City has relied upon MicroGuard® to protect its parks. The product is used on stainless steel rails for park walkways. It is also used on stainless and other deco-rative metal sculptures. The two-fold objective is to enable park maintenance person-nel to clean the metal with eco-friendly cleaners and to avoid metal corrosion.

Much AD00 about something: graffiti removalFrom producing a stain-resistant, wet-look sealcoat on concrete or decorative stone

to renewing the color and surface integrity of oxidized pre-finished metal siding and roof-ing, MicroGuard® adds to the beauty of existing surfaces. It also protects that beauty against being defaced by graffiti.

As anyone who has tried to eliminate spray paint, magic marker or the like from a fence or building knows, graffiti is problematic. It mars property; can be extremely time-consuming, costly and difficult to remove and/or cover up; and attracts further graffiti. Municipalities have learned that swift eradication is the key to preventing contin-ued vandalism.

MicroGuard® AD00 Anti-Graffiti Clear Surface Treatment makes graffiti removal a breeze, saving money and labor. This high-performance surface treatment protects against the attachment of paint, crayon, ink and magic marker on stainless steel or non-ferrous metals, fiberglass, signs, concrete and painted surfaces. It is resistant to chemical attack as well as to solvents, acid and alkali exposure. Compared with lesser coatings created by competitors, AD00 will not break down from UV exposure.

The product is simply amazing. “Once AD00 has been installed over pre-painted block, graffiti removal becomes a simple three-step process,” says Gibson. “You spray the graffiti remover, allow it to work and wipe the graffiti away.”

He explains the magic behind the product, saying, “The hydrophobic, naturally repelling proper-ties of the treatment prevent graffiti from attaching firmly to the surface, thus making it easier to remove. Aerosol paint, permanent marker, ink and other graffiti ‘tools of the trade’ can be removed using commercial graffiti removers without damaging the clear treatment.” Surfaces are protected from tagging, mitigation costs are significantly lowered, and the treatment remains crystal clear. It does not yellow.

The City of San Leandro, Calif., used MicroGuard® on all its municipal buildings to enable the removal of graffiti with eco-friendly cleaners without damaging the surface or the coating. Utility Op-erations Supervisor Bob Kunich expressed his city’s complete satisfaction with the product, saying, “MicroGuard® not only brought out the grain on the surface of the [San Leandro Main Library] stone more prominently, but the best part is how graffiti-resistant it is.

“A few days after application, the stone was heavily tagged with graffiti — a recurring problem we have at the library. I simply wiped my hand against the stone, and the graffiti came right off,” says

Kunich. “The tagging had been done with a felt tip marker, which in the past has been almost impossible to remove. We especially like the fact that MicroGuard® does not have to be reap-plied. In these times of budget cutbacks, that fact makes [the] product even more desirable.”

The North New Jersey School District recently relied on MicroGuard® as an anti- graffiti remedy in the tile-walled high school bathrooms where tagging was an ongoing problem. The district enjoyed the same great results as the City of San Leandro and myriad other Micro-Guard® users.

Its properties also make AD00 an ideal clear treatment to rejuvenate oxidized and faded paint finishes. “OEM powder-coated metal siding or roofing panels, metal doors, and signs can be restored to a like-new appearance and protected against further deterioration for years to come,” says Gibson. A related Adsil product, AD703 Concrete Clear Gloss Treatment is an ideal clear coating for many organic floor paints in applications requiring additional abrasion and chemical resistance. It brightens and rejuvenates faded paint, extending the useful life of many painted surfaces.

properties

Builders and developers typically focus on energy-efficient products, such as appliances, windows and heating-cooling systems. However, these installations deflect from the story “behind the scenes” regarding products whose manufacturing processes cause severe damage to the environment.

Steve Hess, founder of Fiber Care Baths located in Adelanto, Calif., since 1995, explains that the effort to make construction more eco-friendly may be neutralized by two words rarely exchanged between builders and buyers — styrene emissions.

Styrene is a water insoluble liquid that is used in resins to coat and reinforce fiberglass shower stalls and bathtubs. Studies by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have shown that styrene is a significant source of volatile emissions that are generated by most fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) industry processes.

During the FRP manufacturing process, styrene emissions happen during two phases: first, during the high pressured application of the gel-coat, which allows emissions to escape through the evaporation of the liquid droplets, and the second, during the laminate curing period wherein heat drives off the volatiles.

Now, Fiber Care Baths has discovered a process that dramatically beats the EPA regulation by limiting emissions to three-tenths of one percent. The firm manufactures and installs fiberglass and acrylic bathroom fixtures. Hess states that his motivation was twofold: to improve the environment and avoid pressure on his industry from the EPA. “Pressure from the EPA has been constant,” he says. “Many scientists have worked on this problem for over 30 years. It’s really a significant breakthrough.”

Hess says his firm has lowered styrene emissions by eliminating 60 percent of the liquid from the gel-coat that is applied to shower and bath units. This was achieved by replacing the isophalic resin in the gel-coat with lexan bead — a building block for acrylic that has no harmful emissions. He describes the new gel-coat as “quasi” acrylic.

Jay Bellasalma is the president of Tech America in Chino, Calif., the engineering and consulting firm that spearheaded the research and development that resulted in the breakthrough. He has worked with Hess for 19 years on emission reduction. “Steve has always had a goal to reduce emissions, regardless of what the law said. He went into the venture knowing it would cost money, and he would try anything. He said to me, ‘I would like to do it right before I die.’ No emissions is his goal,” says Bellasalma.

Aside from the benefits to the environment by lowering emissions, the new gel-coat also improves the appearance of tubs and showers and doubles their strength. The new process adds some cost to the manufacturing, Hess says, but when factored in with installation, his prices are competitive. Only a negligible amount is passed onto the consumer.

Scientists estimate that more than 20 million metric tons of styrene escape into the atmosphere every year. But Hess believes emissions could be reduced by as much as 90 percent if other firms adopt his gel-coat recipe. “It adds a marketing tool for builders to sell their properties and rent their units when told about the extra step taken to leaving a smaller footprint on the environment. Not only do we have features that reduce mold in bathrooms improving air quality inside, we are committed to improving the air quality outside as well.”

With more than four decades as a leader in the

industry, H-O-H Water Technology, Inc. attributes its

success to “the right chemistry” — literally and figu-

ratively.

The Illinois-based firm, which provides a full range

of industrial and commercial water treatment solu-

tions, relies upon scientifically proven methods and

a strong rapport with clients. Throughout the years,

it’s remained true to its roots while progressing at the

pace of technology.

Founded by the late Robert F. Hutchison in

1963 as Illinois Aqua-Serv, a franchise of Dearborn

Chemical, the company incorporated in 1968 as

H-O-H Chemicals, Inc. It was rechristened H-O-H Water

Technology, Inc. in 2008.

H-O-H continues to be owned and operated by

Hutchison’s son, Thomas F. Hutchison — who as-

sumed the position of President in 1989 — and other

members of his family.

Thomas Armon, Director of Marketing, explains

that the firm specializes in:

• Water treatment, resource management and conservation

• Applying chemicals, equipment and services to maximize clients’ water and utility efficiency

• Maximizing personnel safety and system longevity

• Minimizing clients’ environmental footprint

And as the industry’s focus turns increasingly

to green technology, H-O-H has similarly evolved.

“Obviously, the green movement is pushing everyone

to find a more eco-friendly approach,” says Armon.

Cutting-edge green technology Among H-O-H’s cutting-edge offerings is

the Green Machine, a device that removes anions and

cations from water systems via direct current electroly-

sis.

“We have been providing water treatment solu-

tions for 40 years, and we believe this technology

is the first viable approach to treating cooling water

without chemicals,” says Thomas Hutchison. “Techni-

cal innovation is a core value of our company, and we

are excited about the potential that this technology

has for our industry.”

Successfully utilized by H-O-H on a number of key

accounts, the electrochemical technology that serves

as the basis of the Green Machine has garnered the

company recognition. In fact, a manuscript on the top-

ic, penned by the company’s Technical Director Henry

A. Becker and Director of Engineering Jon J. Cohen,

was selected for presentation at the 2009 American

Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning

Engineers (ASHRAE) conference.

According to H-O-H, the method manages to re-

duce or eliminate reliance on chemicals with zero

discharge from the cooling water systems, which re-

sults in significant water savings. “What makes this

technology exciting is that we can greatly reduce the

customer’s chemical profile and conserve water, which

is quickly becoming our most precious resource,” says

Hutchison. “It is an example of what a truly green

technology should be.”

Whether it’s a product, service or combination

thereof, implementing the right water treatment

solution can reap significant rewards — and

for H-O-H’s customers, the numbers speak for

themselves.

Proven success At a northern Illinois hospital dogged by perfor-

mance problems in its steam boiler water system,

H-O-H crews recommended reverse osmosis pre-

treatment, a de-aerator efficiency study and conden-

sate leak repairs, resulting in annual treatment and

energy costs savings of $15,000.

A Midwestern cement manufacturing facility grap-

pling with chronic maintenance issues realized ap-

proximately $500,000 in savings after H-O-H stepped

in. The firm pitched eco-friendly solutions, including

multimedia filtration, on-site oxidant generation, dis-

persant anti-scalant, and follow-up service, in order

to combat equipment damage and inefficiencies.

Worker downtime and retail losses were

rampant at a new extrusion molding corpora-

tion facility relying on aging machines. Thanks

to a series of steps suggested by H-O-H, the cli-

ent experienced a staggering 1,340 percent return

on investment.

H-O-H offers a variety of contract options, includ-

ing fixed cost not-to-exceed, à la carte pay-as-you-

go, and performance contracting arrangements as

well as total water management agreements.

“Total water management is easy to say, but very

few companies offer it,” says Armon. “Most that do

offer it do not do it very well. Integrating with cli-

ent operations to understand needs and bottom-line

savings while we develop strong relationships with

a single point of responsibility is a unique expertise

at H-O-H.”

GreenscapinG — sustainable solutions

Because Van Dorn Abed Land-scape Architects is committed to pre-serving the planet through sustain-able landscape design, it is currently working in conjunction with a green housing consultant for the Build it Green council. Together, they are de-veloping industry-wide standards for residential rain-garden detention basins, using one of Van Dorn Abed Landscape Architects’ residential de-velopments in Mountain View, Calif., as a model for future projects.

“Our ability to come up with unique solutions to green building needs in the landscape enables our clients to comply with state and lo-cal ordinances as well as allow them to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) status and/or green point rating,” explains Ms. Van Dorn. “At the same time, the final product is not only functional and good for the environment, but it is also aesthetically pleasing and blends in to the overall design for the project.”

After years of collaborating with civil engineers and biologists on green design, the Van Dorn Abed Land-

scape Architects team has developed extensive knowledge in creating green design solutions. The firm’s green expertise can ultimately save time and money for clients. “By pro-viding sustainable design solutions, we put our clients in positive long-term ecological and economical posi-tions,” says Mr. Abed.

unmatched landscape services There’s no question that Van Dorn

Abed Landscape Architects stands out from the competition. The firm’s extensive experience, meticulous attention to detail and quick response to each client’s need makes for a solid business profile. “Our atten-tiveness, open communication and cost-effective solutions make an at-tractive choice for our clients while providing a level of service that goes beyond normal expectations,” says Van Dorn.

Van Dorn Abed Landscape Archi-tects’ superior expertise is clearly illus-trated in many of the firm’s projects. For example, its design for the San Francisco International Airport includ-ed a large landscaped bioswale, which has proven to be extremely successful in treating storm water runoff from the roads in and out of the airport. This bioswale is a part of the overall

concept for the landscaping at the airport, which was awarded the 2007 San Francisco Beautiful Award.

Additionally, the firm recently worked on Willow Glen Paseo, a com-bination residential podium courtyard and at-grade townhome develop-ment. This project incorporates a 15-foot-wide, on-site bioswale extend-ing the entire length of the site. The bioswale collects storm water runoff and recharges the groundwater while creating a visually attractive site ame-nity with water-tolerant ornamental grasses, trees and shrubs.

It’s no wonder why clients turn to Van Dorn Abed Landscape Architects time and again for unique site design solutions that are both beautiful and sustainable in these innovative times.

“The future well-being and pres-ervation of our planet depends on responsible, sustainable practices in all aspects of our daily lives,” explains Abed. “As landscape architects, we have an opportunity and responsi-bility to provide healthy, attractive, functional and sustainable environ-ments, and be leaders and educators by exposing people to the benefits of creating outdoor spaces that set the standard for future generations.”

Since opening in 1988, Cellucrete Corp. has established itself as the leader in the lightweight insulat-ing concrete industry. This superior company is Florida’s largest appli-cator of Elastizell lightweight insu-lating concrete roof deck systems, geotechnical floor fill, floor under-layments and plaza decks.

With a proven track record of high-quality installations through-out the state of Florida, the Cel-lucrete team works diligently to provide creative roof deck solutions to general contractors, architects, engineers and owners.

Two decades of expertise Cellucrete was founded more

than 20 years ago in South Florida. Cellucrete saw an opportunity for the development and expansion of insulating concrete roof decks in this market. At the time, South Florida was beginning to define it-self as the “Gateway to Central and South America,” and a strong finan-cial anchor. The area was known for its booming tourism industry as well as the importation and exporta-tion of goods and services.

As South Florida continued to grow, buildings began popping up throughout the region. “This devel-

opment involved the construction of warehouse facilities, commercial buildings as well as high-rise con-dominiums for the expanding popu-lation,” explains Anthony Abreu, president of Cellucrete. “The design of these buildings recognized that they must be able to resist the an-nual unpredictable hurricane sea-sons that occur in this region.”

Cellucrete installed 110 Elastizell roof decks between 1984 and 1992. When Hurricane Andrew struck South Florida on August 24, 1992, there were no reported damages to the integrity of the roof decks on any of these jobs. “Of this total, two projects suffered minor distress due to an incomplete edge detail and a membrane cut from flying debris,” says Abreu.

Following Hurricane Andrew, Cellucrete was instrumental in working on wind uplift testing pro-grams in South Florida to develop a database of knowledge for the per-formance of these commercial roof-ing systems.

Today, Cellucrete is operated by President Antonio Abreu, Vice Pres-ident Juan Bauza and Vice Presi-dent Frank Peydro.

High-performance roofing There’s no question that the Elas-

tizell composite insulating roof deck system provides ultimate protec-tion while saving owners time and money. “The performance of these insulating concrete roof decks is evi-denced by their success as the major roof deck system in this market,” says Bauza.

These superior roof decks offer the following advantages:

Positive slope-to-drain, which eliminates drainage problems and standing water Substantially improved ther-mal insulation values when combined with EPS insulation board for both new construc-tion and reroofing Typically eliminates future roof insulation tear-offs and the potential for additional damage during reroofing Ideal base for built-up or single-ply membranes, which may be installed two to five days after casting. These may be ballasted, fully adhered or mechanically attached Strong, permanent, nailable roofing base with improved fire resistance Saves time and money

Go green (and save some, too)

Not only are Elastizell insu-lating concrete roof decks afford-able, they’re also green. Because

Elastizell roof decks reduce energy load requirements and are du-rable, sustainable and low-mainte-nance, they are accepted as a green product and have been used in many Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®)-certified projects.

These roof decks also help re-duce overall energy consumption by providing permanent insula-tion that does not suffer from the thermal drift characteristics associated with rigid board insula-tion. Cellucrete is proud to contribute to the planet’s preservation by providing this sustainable roof-ing product.

An impressive portfolioDuring the past 20 years, Cellu-

crete has offered superior roof instal-lation services to countless clients. Some of the company’s most recent projects include the following:

IKEA in Sunrise, Fla.Wal-Mart in Hialeah Gardens, Fla.Disney Saratoga Springs in Orlando, Fla.Performing Arts Center of Miami, Fla.Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Fla.Portofino Tower in Miami Beach, Fla.
