GuidelinesSustainability Energy Efficiency Measures
Designing a building to achieve an energy reduction, as compared to an ASHRAE 90.1 baseline, may not always lead to exactly the same design as that which aims for absolute carbon emission reductions, in pursuit of carbon neutrality goals. For the most part, energy efficiency measures, such as optimized façade performance, will assist in meeting both goals. However, certain measures, such as occupancy based controls, are not fully credited in the LEED Performance Rating Method (PRM) modeling process but would save significant energy in practical application.
The measures described below are intended primar-ily to achieve the LEED goals described. However, as new building designs and renovation plans are developed, the inclusion of efficiency measures that reduce carbon but have less impact on LEED energy savings, should be explicitly considered.
In order to better identify measures that are likely to be central to achieving LEED goals, and those that are less critical, the following guidelines have been divided into two parts:
• Most effective strategies to achieve LEED platinum
• Less effective strategies to achieve LEED platinum
The most effective strategies should be prioritized for implementation. The less effective strategies can still have a positive impact but are either less cost-effective in terms of energy savings or garner fewer LEED points.
NEW CONSTRUCTION
In order to achieve platinum for LEED v4, it is recommended that new academic and laboratory buildings achieve a 40% reduction in annual energy cost, as compared to an ASHRAE 90.1 2010 baseline. Renewable energy attributed to buildings will utilize a campus approach – the onsite campus PV arrays will be attributed to individual buildings to meet their goals.
This target may be achieved by applying the mea-sures listed below. These lists are guidelines and do not guarantee meeting the suggested 40% energy cost reduction. In most cases, singular measures could be removed but this would normally require an increase in the extent of application of other measures or the application of a new measure. For instance it is possible for energy performance to be maintained with the removal of enhanced daylighting from roof collectors if the façade glazing was sufficiently improved to allow additional daylight in without increasing solar gain. This type of trade-off can only begin to be explored at the schematic of design development stages, when full building energy models are developed.

MiraCosta College
Facilities Master Plan Update | Volume II
New Academic BuildingsMost effective strategies to achieve LEED platinum:• Optimized facade: To minimize heating and cooling
loads and maximize daylighting. This must be determined with a detailed energy modelling that seeks the lowest energy solution through determin-ing optimal values for façade and roof elements’ U-values, window to wall ratio and SHGC, external shading and daylight enhancement through refrac-tive films or light shelves. It is important to note that high performance could be achieved for lower cost with reduced window to wall ratios. Buildings striving for higher glazing ratios may need higher performance dynamic shading systems or fixed external shading.
• Effective HVAC zoning: It is essential to only serve groups of spaces, that have similar heating and cooling load profiles, with the same HVAC system.
• Operable windows in cellular offices, open-plan offices and break rooms: Natural ventilation must be employed for low energy office buildings, given MiraCosta’s favorable climate. Relying on occupant manual operation is a possible low cost solution but must be accompanied by an awareness and behavior change program. For automated operation, see the lower priority list below.
• Exposed thermal mass or phase change material: To be applied in wall/ceiling elements to reduce internal temperature fluctuation. This would need to be coordinated with a natural or forced ventilation night flush program.
• Mechanical systems options: » VAV with economizer (economizer required by code)
» VRF with simultaneous heating and cooling » Radiant heating and cooling panels/slabs with dedicated outdoor air for ventilation
• Heat recovery on ventilation exhaust• Low power lighting: Utilizing low ambient light
levels with task lighting, daylight dimming and vacancy sensing. This is largely driven by Title 24 California Building Code requirements but is still important for low energy design.
Less effective strategies to achieve LEED platinum:• Comprehensive sub-metering: Good practice but
only yields 1 LEED point and not required by code• Enhanced daylighting measures: Could include
refractive films or light shelves, heliostats, lightwells, solar tubes or Parans-type collectors.
• Automated windows for natural ventilation: To be interlocked with building energy management system for automatic natural ventilation control
• East/west orientation of buildings with low WWRs on east and west facades: This is context dependent but north/south oriented buildings can mitigate the negative effects of solar gain through improved façade performance.
• Reduced equipment gains and low power work stations: Specification of low power equipment reduces direct electrical load and internal heat gains. This simultaneously reduces power and cooling load, while extending the period during which natural ventilation can effectively operate. However, a reduction in process load may not be credited under LEED. This reduces the benefit of this measure.
• Occupancy based control

• Effective HVAC zoning between wet labs, dry labs and office spaces: It is essential to only serve groups of spaces, that have similar heating and cooling load profiles, with the same HVAC system.
• Mechanical system options: » Chilled beams: Where loads allow. » AV w. economizer: Interlocked with fumehood exhaust for effective turndown of supply air.
» Office to lab air transfer: Supply are to offices first and then supplement lab supply for reduced total air requirement.
• Fumehood occupancy sensors: With reduction of air change rate down to minimum at night.
• Sash-interlocked, constant face velocity fumehood control.
• Low static pressure control valves.• Heat recovery on exhaust.
• Low power lighting: Utilizing low ambient light levels with task lighting, daylight dimming and vacancy sensing. This is largely driven by Title 24 California Building Code requirements but is still important for low energy design.
Less effective strategies to achieve LEED platinum:• Specify low power equipment: Specification of low
power equipment reduces direct electrical load and internal heat gains. This simultaneously reduces power and cooling load. However, a reduction in process load is not credited under LEED. This reduces the benefit of this measure.
• Enhanced daylighting measures: Could include refractive films or light shelves, heliostats, light-wells, solar tubes or Parans-type collectors.
• Comprehensive sub-metering: Good practice but only yields 1 LEED point and not required by code
• Wind velocity based exhaust exit velocity control.

MAJOR RENOVATION
Existing buildings should be retrofitted to achieve Silver for LEED v4 and it is recommended that in order to meet this goal, the buildings achieve a 16% reduction in energy use, as compared to an ASHRAE 90.1 2010 baseline. Renewable energy attributed to buildings will utilize a campus approach – the onsite campus PV arrays will be attributed to individual buildings to meet their goals.
It is important to note that this energy reduction is not in comparison to the current building perfor-mance, it is in comparison to a baseline which has a reasonably high energy performance. This makes the 16% target very challenging, particularly for the older buildings on campus. Newer buildings, and those with recent major renovations, will tend to be cheaper to retrofit to LEED Silver standard. Older buildings will tend to require more extensive mea-sures. The graph below shows the tendency of older buildings to perform more poorly on a system level.

Year of construction
Graph displaying an amalgamated building systems (roofing, mechani-cal, electrical, plumbing) score against year of construction. A score of 1 indicates high performance in systems. A score of 3 indicates a low performance.
This is especially relevant since these are the build-ings that the campus should be targeting first if it intends to reduce its energy costs and move towards it longer terms carbon goals. An alternative course of action could mean the college defers renovation of the worst performing buildings and targets those which are cheaper to renovate to LEED Silver standard. This would save capital costs in the short term and may be more cost-effective in the long term.
The lists of measures below are guidelines and do not guarantee meeting the suggested 16% energy cost reduction. As with new construction above, in most cases, singular measures could be removed but this would normally require an increase in the extent of application of other measures or the application of a new measure.
In general it is more cost-effective to targets controls, lighting and mechanical systems upgrades before more extensive fabric enhancements. The extent of renovation will need to be judged and modeled on a building by building basis.

*Measures listed are options and not a full package that are applied in each case. Renovations are dealing with existing buildings, with each having varying solutions to meet the campus goals.
CAMPUS-SPECIFIC MEASURES
The following guidelines are suggested to aid the college in meeting its carbon reduction goals. The measures listed do not he assist in reaching LEED goals, unless explicitly stated.
Parking:• All parking lots should incorporate a
photovoltaic canopy and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. This strategy will help the campuses meet its carbon goals, while also providing shade for the cars below. It will also help any buildings achieve LEED points if explicitly designated.
Oceanside Campus:• Convert existing air-cooled chillers to more
efficient water cooled chillers at central plant. This will improve LEED energy performance.
• Retro-commission plant
• As per engineering assessment included in Section 9.0, replace transformers containing old /unreplaceable parts: buildings 5200, 4800, 4400, 4000, 3500, 3200, 2100, 2000 and tennis courts main electrical distribu-
tion. This will yield significant conversion efficiency savings.
• As per engineering assessment included in Section 9.0, fit all buildings with sub-meters to give direct feedback to occupants and operators on energy consumption. This will help drive down consumption when combined with incentive programs.
• On buildings with multiple rooftop packaged units, replace with VRF systems. This may improve LEED energy performance
• Add VFD to existing motors to take advan-tage of part-load efficiencies for existing pumps, fans etc. This will improve LEED energy performance.
San Elijo Campus:• As per engineering assessment included in
Section 9.0, fit all buildings with sub-meters to give direct feedback to occupants and operators on energy consumption. This will help drive down consumption when combined with incentive programs.
• As per engineering assessment included in Section 9.0, replace closed circuit cooler in building 100.
• Consider replacement of all gas boilers with heat pumps – prioritize original boilers that have not been replaced.
• As per engineering assessment included in Section 9.0, replace unit heaters and terminal heat pump in building 700. This may improve LEED energy performance.
Community Learning Center:• As per engineering assessment included in
Section 9.0, replace the main 120V/208V switchboard and associated panel boards.
• As per engineering assessment included in Section 9.0,fit all buildings with sub-meters to give direct feedback to occupants and opera-tors on energy consumption. This will help drive down consumption when combined with incentive programs.
• As per engineering assessment included in Section 9.0,
» Replace rooftop package units on all build-ings. Consider replacement of gas boiler with reversible heat pump for carbon savings.
» Replace exhaust fans on Building A. This may improve LEED energy performance.
» Replace existing control system with BACnet capable MSTP open protocol control system for internet access in Building A.
» Replace wall mounted heat pumps in building C. This may improve LEED energy performance.

GuidelinesSustainability Water
NEW CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATIONS
All new construction and major renovations within the District should target a 40% reduction over the baselines for flush and flow fixtures. (See chart below). To achieve this threshold, ultra-low flow fixtures will need to be incorporated into project specifications, including dual flush or foam flush toilets, waterless urinals, 0.35 gpm lavatories, and 1.25 gpm (or lower) showerheads.
Signage and education around the impacts of water use are recommended in bathrooms and kitchens to raise awareness and lower use.
Building-level water metering to measure the total water use for the building and associated grounds is recommended to become a District standard. Consider water sub-metering for all new construc-tion and major renovations to measure: irrigation, indoor plumbing fixtures and fittings, domestic hot water, boilers, reclaimed water, and other process water.
CAMPUS-WIDE MEASURES
An aggressive turf removal plan has been developed as a part of the Facilities Master Plan, which will go a long way to achieving the irrigation demand reduction targets set for the Oceanside Campus.
See water sub-metering information above, which includes irrigation sub-metering.
In addition, with new construction or infrastructure work throughout the campuses, plantings that are put in should be native / adapted plants that require minimal watering. Efficient and centralized irrigation equipment and controls should replace older irrigation infrastructure.
Stormwater collection and treatment can be done in specific areas on campus where there is an opportunity to integrate the necessary storage. Rainwater harvesting, similar to that happening at the Oceanside greenhouses, is also a great way to capture and reuse this previous resource. With the clay soil making infiltration more difficult, permeable paving is not recommended.
Bioswales should be integrated into islands of all parking areas throughout the campuses to help capture, treat and infiltrate stormwater.
Standalone graywater recycling systems for new construc-tion are recommended to take daily shower, lavatory and kitchen sink water and use it for toilet flushing and irrigation at those buildings. Graywater would be a good fit for the new gymnasium being planned at the Oceanside campus. Condensate capture and cooling tower blow off are additional opportunities to capture and reuse water on campus.

GuidelinesSustainability Waste
NEW CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATIONS
A campus policy around construction waste manage-ment to divert a minimum of 75% of C&D material should be put in place. By having a Construction Waste Management Plan in place, targets can be set, by weight or volume, to divert the maximum quantity from landfills and into recycling facilities.
CAMPUS-SPECIFIC MEASURES
BigBelly solar-powered trash and recycling compactors aid in efficient collection of waste and recycling. Opportunities for landscape waste to be chipped and used on campus should be maximized. Opportunities for pre-consumer and post-consumer composting could be used by Facilities and the Horticulture Department.
Education and outreach around waste and diversion programs play a key role in increasing campus diversion rates through behavior change.
Waste audits should be performed at a minimum of an annual basis. The results will provide a useful tool to drive waste diversion. Along with this, a close look at procurement data and what materials are coming into the campuses is highly recommended.
Hydration stations should be implemented through-out to provide students and staff easy access to water, while reducing or eliminating the need for bottled water.
District-wide goals should be set for a target to achieve net-zero waste (defined as a 95% diversion rate) or a target of waste/student metric.
