HAwAII PREPARATORy ACADEMy
The Energy Lab is dedicated to the study of alternative energy systems and is a net-zero energy building. Energy demand is reduced through passive and active systems integrated in the project, including passive solar design strategies, natural ventilation, natural daylighting, optimization strategies and high efficiency systems. Clean energy is generated by integrating various renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. The project is also water neutral and integrates systems for capturing, treating and reuse so all its water needs are provided from rain.
Hawaii Preparatory Academy achieved LEED Platinum and secured a Living Building Challenge certification for its Energy Laboratory.

Buildings are designed in units of feet, fahrenheit and foot candles but the experience they create is something personal, requiring descriptive terms such as alertness level, comfort and meaning. Buro Happold’s work bridges the gap between occupant and technology. Our investment in sensory design research is an examination of how the combination of lighting, thermal environment, acoustics and aromas combine to produce a building experience that leads to increased satisfaction and more productive occupants.
SENSORy DESIGN
ENGINEERINGTHE BUILDING EXPERIENCE
2525
Sensory design research studies how an individual’s sensory experience is understood in terms of physical parameters and the human experience, and what the relationship between these two are. It asks how the ambience of the building contributes to the user experience. In practice this means understanding why some buildings are easy to control, have plenty of fresh air, daylight, good acoustics and are the right temperature at the right time while others are not.
It also means understanding what the client’s needs are so that spaces are correctly specified. In understanding the research that underpins building codes, we can also excel where it is appropriate to the project.
At Buro Happold we think beyond how our design affects the construction and maintenance costs, taking into consideration the wellbeing and productivity of future occupants as well.

At Buro Happold we have been working on high performance building design for over 30 years. In our experience, the way forward has always been exemplified by focused and integrated leadership, working within a regulatory system that is continually tightening design codes and incentivizing new technologies; and framed by a central energy policy that is reducing the carbon foot print of the electrical supply.
The challenges faced present huge opportunity for our profession to not only respond with respect to the architecture but also to continue to raise awareness of the issue of global warming to our political leaders for only if fresh direction can be achieved at this level can the ultimate goal be achieved.

OREGON SUSTAINABILITy CENTER
A partnership between three national laboratories, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, as well as the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA), funded the Commercial Building Partnership (CBP) program. A technical expert team consisting of Buro Happold and HOK has been created to design and develop a set of energy efficient, market-ready building solutions for the Oregon Sustainability Center (OSC) and the Clark Atlanta University Center (CAUC). The idea was to develop net carbon zero building design solutions that could be widely deployed throughout the US commercial building sector.

Facade optimization analysis was conducted to find the optimal balance between solar control and daylight ingress.
A bifacial Pv ‘sail’ and shading elements generate sufficient renewable power to offset 100% of the building’s annual carbon emissions.
Shallow plan floor plates maximize potential for natural ventilation and daylight harvesting.
As part of the collaboration, we developed and determined practical and cost effective design measures to achieve energy reduction goals and targets. In the case of the Oregon Sustainability Center, our team set out to design a building with the target of achieving net zero energy use.
with these targets in mind, we deployed our vast experience in the design and delivery of trend setting low energy buildings, including application of state of the art daylight, thermal, and computational fluid dynamics modeling. Our ongoing role will extend not only through the design development phase of the project but also through construction oversight and critical post occupancy evaluations.

The new 11,600 square foot building is a two story open plan office space with meeting rooms, a mezzanine level, and a workshop. Sustainability features include maximized natural ventilation combined with night purge cooling utilizing the building thermal mass and an expandable photovoltaic system. During hot summer days, the building can be conditioned through a low velocity displacement ventilation system bringing cooled air through a raised floor plenum.
The open plan workspace and mezzanine are naturally ventilated, while the shop, conference room, kitchen and ancillary spaces are mechanically ventilated. Natural daylight is maximized through the open plan workspace and with the use of 23 skylights with integrated light fixtures and daylight sensors. A 62.4 mega watt hour photovoltaic array offsets about half of the project’s gross energy consumption. Further improvements in energy savings, along with the possibility of additional Pv panels will get Morphosis closer to their goal of net-zero energy.

Sustainability: it’s a big word with a lot of meanings. But at Buro Happold it means facilitating enduring goals for clients in the midst of complex worldwide changes: resource scarcity, urbanization, population growth, demographic change and the need to reduce the impact of climage change. Those challenges require more from the engineer - thinking and working in fields much wider than materials and technology.

PEROT MUSEUM OF NATURE AND SCIENCE
Formed by the merger of three museums, the 5 story 180,000 square foot Morphosis-designed building serves as the new home for the Perot Museum of Nature and Science.
A comprehensive water recycling strategy was incorporated into the building design, allowing storm water run-off from the site and condensate from mechanical equipment to be diverted into two cisterns, which in turn treat water to varying levels and degrees depending on the use and nature. These cisterns are interlocked to allow intelligent water sharing, allowing the use and re-distribution of water throughout the site.
A building dash port using BMS trending and metering data is used to educate visitors on the various uses of the recycled water; while visually, using two distinctive water features, visitors will be able to see the movement of storm water from the building to the cisterns. This recycling strategy met 100% of the buildings irrigation needs and generated 70% potable water savings for sewage conveyance.
The Perot Museum of Nature and Science achieved LEED Gold certification and fulfills the museum’s mission to “inspire minds through nature and science”.

”“ ...invaluable in creating and evaluating innovative and cost effective
solutions for comfort ventilation, natural day lighting, energy optimization, and solar impacts...their efforts have been instrumental in exceeding the client’s goal of a LEED Silver rating for the facility...
Randolph J. VolenecSenior Project Manager, Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects
The first phase of the project is to create a new 5 story Transit Center with one above grade bus level, ground floor concourse and two below grade rail levels.
To regulate temperature and achieve comfort conditions for 95% of the year, natural ventilation combined with night-time cooling of the building thermal mass and automatic motorized windows is utilized in the grand hall, along with a peak lopping radiant floor which provides relief for extreme temperature periods. Through design of the roof deck, 100% daylighting was achieved in the Grand Hall, while on the Bus Deck level, 100% daylighting was achieved using solar tubes that directed sunlight down from the roof park. Fixed openings on the facade, along with 14’ de-stratification fans, provide natural ventilation along with regulating carbon monoxide from bus exhaust. To address all aspects of water conservation, a holistic water management system was incorporated to store and reuse storm water, as well as reduce total potable water use in the Transit Center by half.
The Transbay Transit Center project will strive to achieve LEED Gold certification.

Between value created for clients and values applied in every project, Buro Happold is redefining what engineering can be: a discipline much greater in scope and depth than ever before, focused closely on the needs of clients, people, environments and the complex interplay between each, and applied in building not only the structures that people move through, but the greater concept of sustainability as a pathway to the future.
The question Buro Happold poses around engineering is no longer, “how can we?”, but “what if?” to test and stretch the imagination and push thoughts and thinking to new places. And the answers continue to arrive every day.

Buro Happold worked with architects to imagine a building from the inside out, providing maximum natural lighting for employees and a green nervous system for the building which delivered reductions of 40 percent in energy and 35 percent in water.
According to the employee post occupancy evaluation the improved productivity by the staff due to the air quality and natural light had an estimated increase of $5 million in annual value. Additionally, the total “green cost” of the facility of about $22 million had a 5 year payback period. Henri Termeer, Chairman and CEO for Genzyme, said, “Genzyme Center has surpassed our expectations in many ways, and we are incredibly pleased with the positive impact it has had both on our employees and on the larger community.”

ACCESS TO NATURAL LIGHT AND AIR QUALITyDaylight pours into the building through the central atrium, enhanced by the roof mounted heliostat that track the sun and reflect its rays through mirrors and prisms, where they are reflected into the surrounding office spaces via vertical reflective blinds.
Plants are grown in generous interstitial spaces to reduce pollution and oxygenate the internal air. A sophisticated air monitoring system ensures that air quality in the building is optimal.
Highly efficient plumbing including low flow fixtures, waterless urinals and dual flush toilets substantially reduce water use. Rainwater is harvested for irrigation and cooling tower make-up water. An overall 34% savings compared to a similar building = 500,000 gallons saved per annum.

“ we tackle the difficult issues, spending our energy and time wisely in pursuing truly sustainable building solutions with the support and experience of our fellow design and construction team members.
DAvID HERD BEng (Hons) CEng MIEE Principal
David Herd leads the MEP design teams in the west Coast region. His design philosophy is that successful environmental design is achieved through influencing the architectural language, form, function and fabric of a building, master plan or landscape to minimize the environmental impact of energy, water, material, and waste.
David believes buildings should respond to the environmental context of the site to optimize the passive design of the building; integrate hybrid HvAC systems that harness natural ventilation; and be supplied with electricity and hot water from renewable sources. Our response to the iconic Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center demonstrates this very concept, through 100% passive heating and natural ventilation for over 75% of the year – 100% naturally day lit and powered by a 120kw Pv array.
