1.EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY 1.1

PROBLEM

This is the 5-storey School of Art, Design & Media at Nanyang Technological University campus, Singapore. This 2006-completed architecture is award-winning and situated in a wooded valley. The turfed roofscape helps to lower the roof temperature and surrounding areas. It works as a functional space, as a scenic outdoor community space via easily accessible sidesteps along the roof edge.


According to the master plan of the 200hectare university campus, the site where the Nanyang Technological University School of Art, Design and Media (NTU-ADM) sits is a wooded valley which was supposed to be left as a green lung. In order to keep to the original intention of the master plan, the architect carved a habitat from the constraints of the valley and allowed the landscape to play a critical role in moulding the building. NTU-ADM is the creation of a ‘nonbuilding’, allowing the original greenery of the site to creep and colonise. The key feature of the building is its transparency and connectivity– both within the interior spaces and the external environment. There is a great sense of continuity in the interior, from the entrance to the main foyer to various spaces inside and right into the turfed roofs. Internal glass walls enhance this visual connectivity and flow, allowing one to see beyond rooms thus promoting interaction and creative exchange.


1.2

Solution

The building design challenges the traditional linear system of education with a clear teacher-student arrangement. Here, different types of spaces are created– from the formal auditorium seating to the more informal studios, lobbies, passageways and breakout lounges. There are also cosy outdoor corners, a sunken plaza formed by the embracing arms of the building and the turfed roofs. The glass façade of the building also allows full exterior views, again providing visual connectivity with the surrounding lush landscape. Lights are incorporated onto the roof to allow students to meet in the evening. At night, the building glows like a lantern allowing activities of the school to be observed from the outside. The changing character of the façade lends dynamism, life and interest to the building as day transforms into night.’

Market

2015 marked the tipping point on several sustainability fronts, and building products appears to be one of them. Building product manufacturers who’ve been waiting to tell their sustainability stories until the market ripens should really stop waiting. Here’s why: $234 billion — The expected value of the green buildings materials market by 2019. $80 billion–$101 billion — The projected 2016 market for green homes. 29–38 percent — The share of this year’s new homes that will hold some sort of green designation. $960 billion — The amount building owners and managers could invest 728 ! ! globally over the next eight years on greening existing buildings. More than half — Builders who expect that by 2020, more than 60 percent of the homes that they build will be green. Over onethird of remodelers expect the same level of green in their projects.

Competition

Are your products less toxic, more energy or water efficient, more mold resistant or sustainably sourced? What’s your company’s track record on greenhouse gases, water use, renewable energy and waste-to-landfill? Certifications matter. Do you have them? Tout them. Don’t have them? Get them, then tout them. They’re important to consumers, but also to architects and builders designing to meet ENERGY STAR, LEED or other certification standards.

Financial Highlights 1.5

After all, it’s benefits they really want to buy. The green building trend is not all about energy efficiency or the environment anymore. For American consumers, benefits such as comfort, quality and health lead the pack now. "Healthy place to live," "lower operating costs" and "contributes to a more sustainable lifestyle" are the top three phrases that we’ve found resonate with most consumers.

Problem Worth Solving

With participates hailing from nearly 70 countries from across the globe, the report’s finding predicts the market for green building development is set to double every three years.Furthermore, the market report also found that emerging economies, such as Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Brazil and India, will likely become centres of green growth. These nations are expected to almost triple in the number of green building levels development.

Our Solution

The building has a 4 degree shift in orientation per floor to maximize proper solar orientation, which dictates a more organic look to the structure. A shallow oval floor plate allows natural lighting to replace artificial during peak occupancy hours. It also allows occupants to be no more than 30 feet from an operable window for fresh air and cooling needs, a requirement for the Living Building Challenge. No conventional AC will be used, natural ventilation and ground source heat pumps will provide all the necessary heating and cooling. The building will contain offices for non-profits that collectively make up the Center as well as a campus facility for the Oregon University System.

Roadmap When the EPA needed a new building for

their Region 8 operations in Denver, Colorado they saw it as an opportunity to rethink the build environment. Completed in 2007 their LEED Gold district headquarters highlights the strength of sustainable building to the local design community. The highlights are the deep penetration of natural light and an aggressive green roof system which is helping mainstream the concept in a high altitude and arid climate. Designed by Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects LLP the buildings exterior design was intended to transition from a modern downtown district on one side and the historic LoDo area on the other, and so took on modest look for the neighborhood. “A new set of criteria will be piloted for Green Mark for Existing Non-Residential Buildings, which includes smart building controls and strategies.� The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) of Singapore has investigated its third Green Building Masterplan, which was discharged in 2014.

Analysis

3.1 Market Trends The Green Mark was propelled in

January 2005 as a measuring stick to rate the natural supportability of structures in the tropics and to invigorate the development of green structures in Singapore. It intends to set parameters and set up markers to manage the plan, development and activity of structures towards higher vitality proficiency and improved natural execution. BCA started an exploration think about in 2014 in a joint effort with National University of Singapore (NUS) to examine Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) execution in BCA Green Mark structures in correlation with structures without the affirmation. The investigation found that, other than being more vitality productive, BCA Green Mark structures additionally give a more beneficial indoor condition to its inhabitants. The investigation watched that tenants in Green Mark structures were more happy with their indoor condition and were less inclined to encounter wiped out building syndrome[1] (SBS) indications.


3.2 Key Customers & Future Every year, an additional 5.5 billion square metres of floor space is constructed, mainly in emerging markets where green construction makes up only a small fraction of new buildings. The global built environment is expected to double by 2050, and green construction can secure lower emissions for decades.

A ccording

to Claire Perry, the UK's minister of state for energy and clean growth, to date the UK has supported 47 million people across the globe cope with the effects of climate change and provided 17 million people with improved access to clean energy, "helping to raise $100 billion a year by 2020 and sharing expertise to keep us secure too". Perry further highlighted: “One year on from the launch of our modern Industrial Strategy, we are making the most of the economic opportunities that go hand-inhand with tackling climate change.” “This exciting new programme will encourage greener construction practices in developing countries to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions, creating opportunities for UK businesses to invest in new markets,” she concluded. Dispelling the perception that ecofriendly or green buildings are costly to construct, Indian architects have said that with a little bit of modification, the cost of construction could be the same.

Sales Plan

Insulation is especially pertinent in Morgan Ramey Homes’ operational region of Massachusetts – cold, snowy winters see temperatures reach 16 °F at times. But this isn’t to say that insulation should only be a priority for builders in the North East of the country. Warmer climates in the south also see large energy bills as a result of poorly insulated homes leaking during summer months. It is estimated that your energy bill can vary up to 20% depending on the type of roof that is installed on your home. “Morgan Ramey homes has steadily since I founded

been growing it almost 20


years ago,” Adley says, “As our business has grown, we have seen our reputation for eco-friendly home building expand outside of Massachusetts, and I now feel we have the capacity and the correct supplier to be able to expand into surrounding states.” Given the material intensive nature of the construction industry – it has traditionally been challenging for smaller home builders to expand into larger regions. Setting up supply chains that can deliver necessary equipment and materials efficiently without adding complexity has long been a struggle of expanding building companies. This is especially true with panelization builders – the majority of their materials are manufactured prior to construction in central factory locations. “Our supplier, Hamilton Building Services, is located in Cortland, New York,” Adley says, “This means that we already have the internal infrastructure in place to allow for us to receive the same high-quality materials throughout the North East without having to change suppliers. Currently, Hamilton Building Supplies distribute to CT, ME, MA, NH, PA, VT, RI, and NY – meaning we have large area to consider for potential expansion.”


4.2 Technology You do not necessarily have to have a “Green Building� in order to have an green house. There are many ways to make the home you already have green.

For example you can change the lighting fixtures in your home, unplug anything you are not using, and use less water. Another way to be green is by recycling. There is also the option of not using plastic bottles and using a water filtration system instead.

Milestones

Today engineers are achieving milestones once considered to be unachievable. In this period of rapid urbanization, inventions in every field are inexorable. Civil Engineering too has gone through major changes for the betterment of the society and the ecosystem. Green Building relates engineering to the environment. Green Building In urbanism, landscape urbanism is gaining popularity. Landscape Urbanism is in actual an approach to urban design in which horizontal and vertical structures in cities are designed according to the topography or landscape of an area. In the past, architects and urban planners used to design cities without considering the ecosystem. Today the architecture and planning that we see in some areas are due to environmental awareness spreading at a profound pace. Our biological environments are always affected in a good or bad way, whenever we change our physical environments. Today many cities of the world are considering ecological impacts due to urbanization. Not only architects and planners, but civil engineers are also playing a vital role in saving the environment.


5.Company and Management 5.1 Organization Structure The state government owned all new buildings will come up on green building concept from now onwards. Also, the renovation of existing buildings will have to be done on the same concept. The move is to conserve environment and reduce cost of construction and utilization. The state's public works department (PWD) has issued a notification on July 8 making green building concept mandatory to all new and renovated buildings of the government. "Big buildings are coming up with modern technology across the world. It is coming up as a challenge for environment. Around 40% power is utilized while construction. Various types of activities conducted during construction period cause around 50% air and water pollution, generate 50% chlorofluorocarbon etc. Over 50% of power is consumed for day to day activities in various types of buildings.


5.2 Management Team Therefore, power shut down has become necessary," the notification said. The notification added that the need is to increase power generation that will come at an additional cost. "It will not be feasible and also disturb financial system if we increase power generation. Therefore, power efficiency is the only option left in current situation. It has become very necessary to think on green building concept and make it mandatory for environment conservation and reduction in power consumption." "Designs and plan of all buildings coming under the jurisdiction of state government should be prepared on the green concept. Plan of renovation on existing buildings should also be prepared


using the concept. Planning should also be done to utilize renewable free source of energy in the buildings from now onwards," the notification said. Directives have been given to all chief engineers of the state's PWD to ensure audit and certification of the buildings constructed on green building concept from Leadership in Energy and Environmental Thus, all government administrative offices, government hospitals and dispensaries, auditoriums etc will be green buildings from now onwards. It was not clearly mentioned in the notification whether the civic body like NMC and civic agency like NIT can follow the same concept. The NMC and NIT prepare plans and cost of projects as per rates and policies finalized by the state's PWD. It will come up as a role model and also an encouragement for private sector. Sources from town planning department told that chances of green building concept being made mandatory for all new and renovated buildings in future cannot be ruled out.


6.Financial Plan

6.1 Revenue/Sales Forecast To implement the GBAP a series of goals, targets and actions have been developed that will direct work towards achieving the GBAP vision: By 2035, UBC’s buildings will make net positive contributions to human and natural systems. UBC is growing rapidly, and it is expected to significantly increase the number of new building projects and existingbuilding retrofit projects over the next 20 years. How these buildings are designed, constructed and operated will have significant impact on sustainability of


the campus as well as the wellbeing of the people who study, work and live here. The GBAP is intended to provide guidance to ensure the design and construction of new buildings, renovations and retrofits achieve high levels of performance that advance the campus toward the net positive vision and lower the total cost of ownership. For both institutional and residential buildings, the GBAP provides ambitious goals, targets and actions in eight distinct but interrelated component areas: energy, water, materials and resources, biodiversity, health and wellbeing, quality, climate adaptation, and place and experience.


6.2 Projected Balance

With the development located across from a hospital and adjacent to a growing submarine-building facility, streetscaping was an important factor for both the developer and the city. Bohler’s landscape design incorporates community elements and gathering spaces as streetscape improvements. A granite wall water feature that integrates the site signage is strategically located on the streetfacing side of the main building with a patio area that provides seating in a high foot-traffic area. The other two buildings feature fire pits, patios and lawn area along the street. Leslie’s team incorporated retaining walls to create a tiered level area for amenities. They also designed elongated walkways from the ground level for a seamless transition to the second level, without the need for stairs or ADA accessible ramps.
