The Arizona State University (ASU) Health Services Building is an adaptive reuse
project that transformed the existing sterile and inefficient clinic into a clearly
organized, efficient, and welcoming facility. The design imbues the new facility with a
sense of health and wellness that leverages Tempes natural environment and
contributes to a more cohesive pedestrian oriented campus. The buildings energy
performance is 49% below ASHRAE 90.1-2007, exceeding the current target of the
2030 Challenge. The facility achieved LEED Platinum certification and is one of the
best energy performers on campus as evidenced by ASUs Campus Metabolism
interactive web-tool tracking real-time resource use.

most vulnerable in our population. Sustainable features include large-scale graywater
recycling, zero stormwater runoff, solar hot water, and a high-performance envelope,
resulting in energy savings estimated at $60,000 annually.

On track to be one of the lowest energy-use buildings in the U.S., EGWW is a model
for U.S. General Services Administration nationwide. The projects goal was to
transform the existing building from an aging, energy hog to one of the premiere
environmentally-friendly buildings in the nation. With a unique facade of reeds,
light shelf /sunshades designed by orientation and a roof canopy that supports a 180
kW photovoltaic array while collecting rainwater, EGWW pushes the boundaries for
innovative sustainable deign strategies. In addition to the energy improvements, the
design reveals the history of the building, exposing the artifacts of the original
builders.

The John and Frances Angelos Law Center is the first large-scale opportunity for the
University of Baltimore to demonstrate its intent to pursue strategies that eliminate
global warming emissions and achieve climate neutrality. With this in mind, the Law
Center is a highly sustainable and innovative structure that strives to reduce reliance
on energy and natural resources, minimizing its dependence on mechanical
ventilation and artificial lighting of interiors. This is part of a larger comprehensive
effort on the part of the A/E team to approach sustainability from a more holistic
vantage point from the outset of the project.

Situated in the forest at the Summit Bechtel Reserve, this interactive, interpretive and
gathering facility serves as a unique icon of scouting adventure, environmental
stewardship and high performance building design. Visitors ascend indoor and
outdoor platforms to experience the forest from multiple vantages and engage with
educational exhibits that explore the site and ecosystem at the levels of ground, tree
canopy and sky. Innovative green building systemsincluding a 6,450-watt
photovoltaic array output, two 4,000-watt wind turbines, and a 1,000-gallon cistern
and water cleansing systemcombine to yield a net-zero energy and net-zero water
facility that touches its site lightly.
8. The David and Lucile Packard Foundation Headquarters: Los Altos
California / EHDD
The David and Lucile Packard Foundation headquarters acts as a catalyst for broad
organizational sustainability and brings staff, grantees and partners together to solve
the worlds most intractable problems. The Foundations connection to the Los Altos
community dates back to its inception in 1964. For the last two decades, as its grant
making programs expanded locally and worldwide, staff and operations have been
scattered in buildings throughout the city. This project enhances proximity and
collaboration while renewing the Foundations commitment to the local community
by investing in a downtown project intended to last through the end of 21st century.
