The four- story, 140,000-sf building is in the form of an “L” with the majority of the labs and classrooms being in the longer section. Research suites are on various floors throughout the other side of the building. In addition to research and teaching facilities, the building includes a 300-seat auditorium, a double heli staircase, a plaza atrium, an aquarium tank room and graduate work areas. The building is part of a new science Quad that has changed the landscape of the northern section of the university. To help ensure that the new building’s systems operated effectively and efficiently, the university arranged for EYP to perform building commissioning services. Working closely with the university and the construction contractor (Gilbane), EYP identif... ... middle of paper ... ... have complex airflows associated with fume hoods. The air balancing issues were more complex than in an office building or residential building. In addition, commissioning the building automation system was more complex than usual for a building of this size because of the presence of the laboratory spaces. ***Steve: Can you make this section more compelling? I’m not sure I’m really conveying the “complexity” appropriately.** (F) Demonstration of specific experience and/or special qualifications detailed in the Statement of Work (Part I of this solicitation) EYP earned praise from the client for its high-quality work on this project. The firm performed this work to very high standards of quality, based on the firm’s deep experience with energy efficiency projects, and because the project was staffed with several of EYP’s Certified Commissioning Agents.

The idea for this building project started in January of 2003. According to Joel Neel, Associate Director in Facilities Planning and Capital Projects, the Master Plan envisioned all new students living on campus with new housing facilities built to include 3000 beds. The reason for this building project was to more than double the student population living on campus.[1] In Student Housing North, these apartments would be more accessible to classes because of the close proxim...
This sustainable development owned by the US Department of Energy, has also been certified LEED Platinum for New Construction by the U.S. Green Building Council. More than 220,000 square feet of high performance and avant-garde technologies have been combined to produce this sustainable development aimed to be completed by 2011.

To support this development, it will achieve a BREEM rating of ‘Very Good’ with the use of sustainable construction materials, methods, high level of insulation, water efficiency, waste management and efficient services. This is related to UDP policy MWR5 and MWR6.
The Quality department which deals with maintaining the overall productivity of the works and sets out the ethics to be followed will be dealt with. The defects in the buildings are to be analysed and appropriate solutions or rectifications would be understood.
Unfortunately more often than not, stories punctuated by the line “I hate my job” have reached my ears. The reality of mankind’s tendency to be lazy and despise hard labor stands in complete opposition to the basic truth of the universe: we must work to survive and thrive. Luckily, in the economic system in place across nearly the entire globe, the jobs we assume not only provide us with a means of self-sufficiency, but a path to better ourselves. Each and every experience in our lives provides an opportunity for growth and advancement, a fact that is usually preached in a cliche “learn from your mistakes” or “get better every day” speech.
The Diamond Building was named the most energy-efficient building at the Asean Energy Awards (AEA) 2012 held in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and won the top prize in the category of “New and Existing Buildings”.

"... we consider we’re better-off trying to build a low energy solution to start with. So rather than take a rubbish building and bolt on lots of nice wind turbines and heat pumps and everything else, we’d rather take the money and say, “Right, well can we build it new instead?” because it’s going to be far more efficient than an old building”(The Bid Manager)
This career episode is about the project on HVAC Instrumentation and Controls Installation. I was assigned the project to oversee new projects for an HVAC construction company. I was responsible for assessing the site of a new HVAC installation or renovation project and putting together a bid for his or her employer. This project is completed by following various steps like Managing and monitoring project budgets, costs and expenditures.

...s undergone several iterations to include the variety of different project development types, align with policy changes, and adapt to new technologies and innovations in sustainable buildings denoted in Table 1 (U.S. Green Building Council, 2009; Winchip, 2011). Currently, the LEED rating system product portfolio includes: Homes, Neighborhood Development (ND), Commercial Interiors (CI), Core and Shell, New Construction (NC- and Major Renovations), Existing buildings (Operations and Maintenance), Schools, Retail (CI), and Healthcare elaborated in Table ? (Green Building Education Services, 2011; Winchip, 2011). For the purpose of this study, LEED New Construction (NC) version 2.2 will validate the objective quality of the sustainable buildings as the LEED Auburn University building inventory indicates two completed certified building projects demonstrated in table 1.
