DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
INITIATIVE NEXT is our company’s bold commitment to the triple bottom line: a
business philosophy that balances economic success with social
and environmental stewardship.
• Campus Crest is committed to continually improving the way we design
and construct our buildings for optimal health, comfort, efficiency, and safety.
• In 2012, we completed a redesign of our prototype building (to be
implemented on 2013 construction starts) to align with LEED and ENERGY
STAR.
• We also installed solar at select properties across our portfolio with more
in the pipeline.
Building Innovation
Solar Energy at The Grove
• Campus Crest kicked off in 2012 with
installation of two photovoltaic systems: 629
kW system (estimated to provide 40-50% of
annual energy use) and a 929 kW system
annual energy use at this property estimated
50-60%
• Once these programs are running we will
have enough to power 260 single-family
homes.
• These efforts are just the beginning of a
company-wide goal to increase energy
independence.
• The prototype redesign project includes
modifications to the roof design, building
envelope, and HVAC systems to decrease
overall energy demand and more easily
support solar installations at all new
developments.
Benefits
ENVIRONMENTAL • Decrease the overall electricity demand & impact on existing municipal utility grids Decrease demand on oil & coal production SOCIAL • Support the growing renewable energy industry, which currently only produced 7% of the total energy in the US in 2010, according to the U.S. EIA.
Benefits
ENVIRONMENTAL
• 30-40% more energy efficient
• Estimated 40% reduction
in water use
SOCIAL
• Improved thermal comfort
• Healthier building materials
• Educational for tenants and
parents
ECONOMIC
•Reduced operating expenses
• Reduced utility overages
(happier tenants)
Redesigning Our Prototype
• Populus, LLC conducted a plan and drawing review to align our
construction details with Energy Star v3 best practices
• Team members used the audit results, energy modeling, and
life cycle cost estimates to evaluate and incorporate
improvements.
• Campus Crest Corporate office was
expanded and renovated in 2012.
• With this renovation, Campus Crest signed
a 10 year lease and designed for growth to
minimize future construction needs for the
corporate office.
Benefits
LEED for Commercial Interiors:
Campus Crest Corporate Office
ENVIRONMENTAL
• Decreased carbon emissions from shipping
•Wood furniture, sourced from sustainably harvested forests
•Materials were purchased and sourced from local manufacturers
•Materials with recycled content were prioritized during purchasing
SOCIAL
• Alternative transportation opportunities for employees has been
supported by incorporating bike racks, showers and carpool areas
within the renovated
facility
•The employee recycling program has recycling bins at each
workstation, as well as at centralized recycling stations
• Signage throughout the office educates employees and visitors on the
green building features
ENVIRONMENTAL
•Green roof on parking will enhance local
air quality, reduce heat island effect and
promote biodiversity in an urban
environment.
• Decreased building energy demand
through design results in reduced carbon
emissions and less demand on existing
utility infrastructure.
• Development on a previously developed
site ensures existing native habitat is not
impacted or removed, and as a result,
supports biodiversity
SOCIAL
• Community connectivity ensures
residents have access to neighborhood
services and public transportation hubs
within a ½ mile of pedestrian access
LEED for New Construction: The Grove Chestnut Towers Benefits
• The benefit to pursuing LEED NC is the third-party verification to ensure alignment between design and construction of major HVAC and envelope innovations, which ultimately result in improved performance throughout the building life cycle.
ENVIRONMENTAL
• Energy & Water Efficiency
• Healthy Building Materials
•Construction Waste Recycling (86% diversion by 11/1/12)
SOCIAL
• Serve as a model and educational tool to our students
and their families
Benefits LEED for Homes: The Grove at
Fort Collins
• The Grove at Fort Collins is the first Campus
Crest project to pursue LEED for Homes
certification.
• The standards set forth by LEED, ENERGY
STAR and WaterSense have been used to
inform the The Grove at Ft. Collins design.
• The Grove in Ft. Collins is serving as a
testing ground for many of the technologies
and strategies which will be incorporated
into all future designs.
