The Brewery, Winery and Food Pilot Facility is the third and final branch of the Robert Mon-davi Institute at UC Davis in California. This building is home to the campus’ program in-volving the study of wine making, brewing and food processing. Inside of the facility is the Teaching and Research Winery and the August A. Busch III Brewing and Food Science Laboratory. It achieved the highest possible LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) cer-tification level, Platinum. Being the world’s first LEED Platinum winery, first LEED Platinum brewery and first LEED Platinum food processing pilot plant and milk-processing lab, this building has attracted much attention and inspired others to investigate the benefits of build-ing sustainably.

“The design-build delivery method allowed us to evaluate solutions as a team rather than as individual stakeholders.” -Janelle Allen, Contractor (BN Builders)

The USGBC scored the facility according to the LEED Platinum credit areas, resulting in an overall score of 60/69 possible points.

SUSTAINABLE SITES

-Trees planted for shade, to reduce the building’s envelope loads, & to capture air pollution-Located in public area with access to public transportation-Sewage water from the facility is treated and re-used -At least 50% of asphalt will be shaded within 5 years-Restored previously graded areas with vegetation-Provided bike racks, showers & changing facilities to reduce automobile pollution-Coated metal roof for a high SRI (Solar Reflectance index)-Impervious surface (added native/adaptive planting) on +50% of land to collect rainwater-Adequate storage space for collected stormwater

“The site and landscape was designed to optimize shade and the usable area, minimize irrigation water demand, and maximize irriga-tion efficiency.” -David Campbell,

Landscape Architect (The HLA Group)

Before

After

WATER EFFICIENCY

-No once-through domestic water will be added (all re-used)-Stormwater collection system provides all-around water efficiency-Plants requiring low water use, native/adapted vegetation & shade trees were planted-All irrigation water is reclaimed water -Ultra-low flow fixtures & automatic shutoff valves provide 30% reduction in use

Stormwater collection system

Before

After

Rainwater is collected in four galvanized storage tanks with a total capacity of 176,000 gallons. The water is used for irrigation and toilet flushing.

The landscape is native with low watering needs. This coupled with the subsurface irrigation supports minimal irrigation, while still showcasing

an attractive landscape.

WATER EFFICIENCY

ENERGY AND ATMOSPHERE

-Over 12.5% of on-site renewable energy provided through roof-mounted photovoltaic (PV) panels-EnergyStar equipment or equipment used that ranked in the top 25th percentile of energy efficiency-Correct electrical loads to reduce energy waste

“For this project, many months of the year, the photovoltaics (PVs) may actually provide all of the [energy] demand…”

-Julianne Nola, Project Owner Rep. (UC Davis)

“Integrated envelope design, separate zoning of laboratories, and acceptance of a higher ambient temperature range...reduce the annual level of energy oper-ations by 143,909 kWh of electricity and 439 therms of natural gas. Undertaken for an estimated incremental cost of $167,835, simple payback is expected in approximately ten years.” -Steven Williams, Architect (FLAD)

MATERIALS AND RESOURCES

-Recycled content value equaled 45% of total materials cost-Regional materials value equaled 45% of total materials cost-50% of wood-based products are FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified-75% of waste diverted from landfill-Use of rapidly renewable material Kirei Board for 2.5% of total building materials

The Special Collections room houses donated wines used in teaching the next generation of wine makers. The room features recycled glass in the floor and reclaimed wood from a California water aqueduct in the ceiling.

INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

-CO2 monitors in densely-populated areas (classrooms)-Use of low-emitting materials for adhesives, sealants, paints, & carpets-Permanent walk-off mats at entries to capture particulates from outside-Use of lighting control panel, occupancy sensors, dual switching & photosensors to re-duce unecessary lighting-Integration of thermal comfort/temperature zones to suit -Direct exterior views in 90% of building and daylighing in 75% of indoor spaces reduces the need for artificial lighting

The glass walls provide for natural light and views in the classroom and main fermentation hall.

INNOVATION IN DESIGN

-Organic landscaping/integrated pest management-Constructed full scale mark-up to optimize material use, reduce waste & improve con-struction efficiency-100% of roof designed to exceed LEED credit performance standards-Conducted post occupancy survey to assess overall user satisfaction-Design build team were all LEED APs

“...through this project...the beer, wine and food industry started to see the mar-keting aspect of green and LEED....they see that it’s good business sense for them – dollars can be saved and people want to be part of it, which brings in business.” -Julianne Nola, Project Owner Rep. (UC Davis)

Overall, the UC Davis Brewery, Wine & Food Pilot Facility is an impressive display of breeding an innovative, non-traditional educational program with an equally groundbreaking sustainable facility. The efficient stormwater collection system was obviously no easy task to design and accomplish, but proved to be an excellent sustainable decision and saves a massive amount of water. Solar panels were also a smart decision, though pricey, providing the facility with a large majority of its energy needs. Simultaneously, though, every project has its glitches. Julianne Nola, the project owner represen-tative for UC Davis mentioned in an interview, “I wish we could have been more efficient, and this could have been accomplished by spending more time considering how.” While a large number of credits were acheived, more could have been accessible through careful forethought and planning. Also, while saving water, the vegetation planted on the site proved to create a significant amount of extra maintenance than normal plants. For example, the grass requires weekly thinning. More re-search on the plants’ needs could have eliminated the problem most likely. The pros far outweigh the cons, however, and the effects the facility has on other industries to build sustainably is invaluable.
