Case Study: Designing for Performance at Fay School
May 19, 2015
The impact of the green building movement will largely be determined by the next generation of building professionals. Pinck & Co. presents a case study on Fay School’s new LEED Gold dormitories, emphasizing the role that students and teachers have on the operational performance and educational value of green buildings.
The new, village-style dorms feature the latest in environmental design principles, including the use of recycled or rapidly renewable materials, solar energy for heating water, and reuse of storm water runoff for landscaped plantings. The building used materials that came from within 500 miles of the site in order to reduce the use of fossil fuels.
The Fay School dormitories earned its LEED Gold rating for a variety of green features: the building’s landscaping and irrigation systems use water from a non-potable source; a storm-water management system significantly reduces storm water runoff; innovative waste water technologies that treat waste water on site; and low-flow fixtures reduce water use by more than 20 percent. The energy usage savings are 25 percent annually.
Fay School’s many green features serve a purpose beyond preserving the environment and promoting good student and teacher health. The creativity and collaboration of the school’s designers and faculty resulted in a school where eco-friendly design has opened up a new world of teaching opportunities. A measurement and monitoring system ensures the mechanical systems are performing as intended, and allows the students to compete on reducing energy use. The project team was: Fay School (Owner), Pinck & Co. (Project Manager), S/L/A/M Collaborative (Architect) and Erland Construction (Contractor).
1.5 AIA and GBCI CE are offered for attending this event. Refreshments will also be available. Learn more at http://www.nexusboston.org/news/casestudyroundtables.
