Integrated Design / O+M Planning & Preparation Never too early! Green Champions “Trickle Down”
It starts with the team!
For Existing Buildings, Current Facility Requirements (CFR)
Consultant Generated = Bad Not Generated = Bad Arbitrary Targets = Bad A FMs tool for communicate existing
conditions Base Building Systems/Building Limitations Sole Sourced Vendors Company Culture and Programmatic Needs
Owner’s Project Requirements
Identify Strategies that Achieve Sustainability Goals Upfront Design team’s responsibility Use CFR as a reality check (O&M staff’s
responsibility) Make this a Living Document for the
Life-Cycle of your Building
OPR/CFR Best Practices
The importance of transportation Urban location advantages Benefits of telecommuting – it’s not
all about emissions! Sustainable Site Management
The snow removal challenge Reduced emissions from site maintenance The “F” word… Fertilization!
Sites
Living with low flow Hot water, piping,
maintenance (soaps and solids)

Go Cheap or Go Big (Hint: Plan for Both)
Energy
Energy – RCx 2.0, or MBCx
Good Fit for any Building with a BAS Start with the Budget you have
Under a few thousand to get started (one time fee)
Group14 preferred vendor: SkySpark by SkyFoundry
Like RCx, should be less than two year payback
Energy - MBCx
ENERGY STAR evolving Regression/Cost Avoidance based
software tools can be very powerful
