Introductions

University of Florida’s LEED Program

In 2001, University of Florida officially adopted (LEED) for its

major renovation and new construction projects

Starting 2006, Minimum Silver LEED certification required

University of Florida’s LEED Program

LEED standards is first and foremost tool that enables a design team all the way through the design and construction process

Over the last 5 years UF has used this tool to the benefit of projects all over University resulting in an entirely new breed of buildings

at UF, the LEED certified green buildings

This new generation of University of Florida building represents a giant step forward for the university

Why UF Adopted LEED

As an educator plays a leading role in training leaders to make difference in the world

UF consumes significant resourcesStudents will have major environmental Impact as consumers, conservers when depart campus

•Be proactive in taking positive steps toward saving the environment

•Save Energy

•Occupants well being

•Lead

•Educate

It is the “right” thing to do!

Why UF Adopted LEED

which could hold up to 18,000 mice.• Two BSL-3 labs and one GMP lab• Forensics lab, autopsy, x-ray and cold room.• Ten Temperature controlled plant growth rooms• Three automated greenhouses on the roof• 150 seat auditorium with 50 person overflow seminar room• Three seminar and ten conference rooms• Administrative suites for faculty and staff• Large atrium• Fully wireless system• Three passenger and one freight elevators• 34 new parking spaces• Approximate occupancy 600+

Cancer/Genetics Research Complex

Project Facts

• 19,100 CY of concrete was installed for the building structure. Total weight of poured concrete was in excess of 77,000,000 lbs.

• If this amount of concrete was poured into a continuous 4’ wide sidewalk that is 4” thick, it would stretch for 75 miles. This represents a sidewalk from Gainesville to Daytona Beach, as the crow flies.

• The cast in place concrete contained over 3,800,000 lbs of reinforcing steel, which is 100% recycled material

• Approximately 700,000 feet of wiring was used throughout the building.

• Over 1.2 million man-hour was spent to build this building.

Thin Brick (actual) Full Bed Depth Brick (estimated)Raw material mined (clay) 288 tons 1,440 tonsShipping raw materials to brick plant 13 loads, 39 gallons fuel $109 64 loads, 192 gallons fuel $537Firing costs 710 mmbtu $8,520 3,500 mmbtu $42,000Shipping bricks to precast plant 12 loads one way = 1,470 gallons fuel $4,116 100 loads one way = 12,250 gallons fuel $34,300

SavingsRaw Materials 1,152 tonsDiesel Fuel 12,648 gallonsNatural Gas 2,790 mmbtuCosts $68,894

The material saved alone would produce an additional 400,000 sf = 2.7 million pieces of thin brick.

Comparison calculation for the use of thin brick vs. full bed depth brick

1) 100,000 sf of thin brick equates to 675,000 pieces of full bed depth brick

2) Modular size bricks 3-5/8” x 2-1/4” x 7-5/8”; Thin brick, 5/8” x 2-1/4” x 7-5/8”

3) Shipping distance for raw materials: 12 miles and trucks return to mine empty (24-mile round trip)

4) Shipping distance for finished product: 980 miles

5) Modular-size brick creates job site and construction waste vs thin brick which produces Zero construction waste.

6) Fuel mileage for all trucking: 8.0 miles per gallon.7) Diesel fuel cost: $2.80 per gallon8) 10% loss on ignition (organic materials burned during kiln

firing)9) All trucking capacities: 45,000 lbs.10) Natural gas cost delivered to plant : $12/ mmbtu
