The "Whole Building" Design ApproachGoal: to create a successful high-performance building.

Strategy: Apply an integrated design approach during the planning and programming phases, e.g Involve all stakeholders in the design processThe ownerDesign TeamBuilding occupantsConstruction ManagerOperation & maintenance personnelGovernment agenciesCommunity Groups

Act on the premise that all building systems are interdependent e.g., modeling the building using all available simulation tools

2The "Whole Building" Design Approach The goal of 'Whole Building' Design is to create a successful high-performance building. To achieve that goal, we must apply the integrated design approach to the project during the planning and programming phases. It is necessary for the people involved in the building design to interact closely throughout the design process. The owner, building occupants, and operation and maintenance personnel should be involved to capture their understanding of how the building and its systems will work for them once they occupy it. The fundamental challenge of 'whole buildings' design is to understand that all building systems are interdependent.


The Basic ConceptRecognizing that buildings: are complex consume vast amounts of energy and material resources over their life time

The 'whole buildings' design approach is: a collaborative effort a comprehensive evaluation and modeling of materials, systems and assemblies for: costquality-of-lifefuture flexibilityEfficiencyoverall environmental impactproductivity and creativity how the occupants will be enlivened


3The Basic ConceptBuildings are deceptively complex. At their best, they connect us with our past and represent our greatest legacy for the future. They provide shelter, encourage productivity and embody our culture. But they also consume an extraordinary share of America's energy and material resources. In the past, we have addressed this issue by analyzing the individual components and subsystems of each building and optimizing them separately.The 'whole buildings' design approach asks the members of the planning, design and construction team to look at the materials, systems and assemblies from many different perspectives. The design is evaluated for cost, quality-of-life, future flexibility, efficiency; overall environmental impact; productivity and creativity and how the occupants will be enlivened.

LEED Vs. MSBGWhat is LEED?The LEED Green Building Rating System, developed by the USGBC, is the only nationally recognized green building rating system. LEED evaluates the performance of buildings from a whole building perspective, over the course of a buildings lifecycle, which provides a definitive standard for what constitutes a green building.

Sustainable BuildingSustainable architecture is foremost about reimagining the relationship between human beings and living systems. The most powerful expression of this is our built environment. Today, architects must work with systems; they must design new ways of living and working in which buildings play a key role. __Paul Hawken from the preface to Sustainable Architecture White Papers

Figure A: Schematic Section showing the daylighting strategies employed.Figure C: Small punched openings positioned high along mainstreet allow direct sunlight into non-critical task areas and the resulting light and shadow create movement and interest. The openings are beveled to optimize light and minimize uncomfortable contrasts between window and wall.Figure D: The condition at the new and existing building interface presents an opportunity to create clerestrories at the high-low roof intersection. The clerestory on the left faces north and brings in soft diffuse light while the clerestory on the right faces west. Figure E: Existing clerestories in the renovated portion of the regional center were retained and re-glazed with new higher performance glazing for improved daylighting performance. They allow daylight in the areas of the building core that would otherwise be windowless.Figure B: Prismatic glass redirects intense rays of light coming from the West up onto the plaster scoop.

The vertical surfaces bounce and diffuse the lightFigure 3: Sloping the ceiling has the same effect as maintaining the higher level throughout the space with the added advantages of greater clearance above the ceiling for mechanical systems where it is needed and the ceiling is brighter than it would be if flat because it reflects incident horizontal light much better.Figure 4: A highly efficient reflective film called SOLF (short for solar optic lens film) made by 3M, optimizes the effectiveness of these light shelves in the Library which bounce light up onto the sloped ceiling providing more even illumination in the space. They also reduce glare near the windowsFigure 5: By providing a graduated frit pattern on the glass above the light shelf instead of using the solar shade, we ensure that there will always be illumination for the light shelf and the frit reduces heat gains similar to the shade system but with far less cost. Figure 6: The molded plaster light Scoop in the Courts waiting area effectively softens and distributes light not only to this space but the adjacent rooms as well.

Daylighting Hardware Strategies

order to harvest the energy savings made possible from harvesting the natural daylight, photosensors detect natural light levels and send a message to the light fixture ballast (shown at right) dimming the light proportionately between 25-100% of the total lamp output.Electronic dimming ballasts are used in all light fixtures serving designated Daylight Zones and allow photosensor controlled dimmingA highly efficient reflective film called SOLF (short for solar optic lens film) made by 3M, optimizes the effectiveness of these light shelves in the Library which bounce light up onto the sloped ceiling providing more even illumination in the space. They also reduce glare near the windowsCharcoal Gray Eco-veil 5% open shade cloth is used. Darker colors appear transparent to occupants, whereas lighter colors diffuse light and add glare.
