SUSTAINABLE DESIGN. The recently released Capitol Hill Eco-District report outlines strategies and considerations any developer should evaluate in pursuing sustainable building practices, such as participating in the Seattle 2030 District and providing for district approaches to energy and water management. N GREENSCAPE N TREESCAPE Sound Transit XXX policy encourages the agency to demonstrate good transit-oriented design and land use mixes appropriate to their setting, transit mode, and market conditions. An approved Development Agreement would create appropriate regulations, to be further guided by encumbrances and design guidelines by way of this Coordinated Development Plan and City-adopted new community design guidelines that will apply to the XXX sites. In response to the above policy, the public benefits shown in the CDP are voluntary on Sound Transit’s part. They exceed any public benefits provided by recent Broadway developments, and are not those typically required by City development regulations. The centerpiece of good transit-oriented design are those amenities that encourage place making and active spaces. Sites A and B, that could accommodate the popular and vibrant Broadway Farmers Market. As previously described, additional public benefits include bicycle parking in excess of code requirements, public access on and through private property, the place-making amenity of the main station block plaza and private plinth plaza adjacent Xxxxx Festival Street. These enhancements, inspired by the UDF, are beyond those typically provided by new development projects. Superior public accessibility occurs east to west on the main station block, through the Site A and B-South buildings, along the eastern facade of Site A, and the full length of Xxxxx Place Extension, linking East Xxxx and Xxxxx Way, and Broadway and 00xx Xxxxxx. The building pass-throughs, plaza and Xxxxx Place Extension, while private property, will be encumbered by Sound Transit for managed public use. Design and materials coordination will occur at N the interface of Xxxxx Place Extension, the plaza and the Xxxxx Way Festival Street. N The Capitol Hill Light Rail Station XXX Sites Urban Design Framework (UDF) embodies a considerable community effort to create a vision for Sound Transit’s future development sites. In response to that effort, this Coordinated Development Plan has endeavored to incorporate numerous design elements and suggestions to be implemented through the Development Agreement. Major su...
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN. 8.1 Sustainable design is a main goal of the integrated design approach. The Professional shall provide an integrated design approach to deliver a sustainable design for all new buildings, additions, and substantial renovations or reconstructions. The term “substantial renovations/reconstructions” shall mean a capital project in which the scope of work includes work affecting at least two of the primary building systems and the building area is unable to remain occupied due to the nature of the construction for 30 days or more. Primary building systems are defined for purposes of this explanation as: 1) HVAC, 2) Electrical and/or lighting, 3) Exterior Walls and/or Windows, 4) Roof and/or ceilings 5) Plumbing. These projects shall be referred to as LEED TM projects. For all other project types (those projects which are not new buildings, additions, and substantial renovations/reconstructions) the Professional shall integrate sustainable design attributes as they relate to the project scope. These projects shall be referred to as Sustainable projects. The integrated design process shall be a collaborative and iterative process involving all project team members. The Professional shall assemble the members of this integrated project team and shall meet throughout the various design phases and periodically during construction, to ensure follow-through. The Professional, as the leader of the integrated project team, shall undertake whole-system (whole building) analyses, considering interactions among systems. Examples of systems that should be analyzed together include, but are not limited to: lighting (electrical and natural) with mechanical systems, day-lighting with envelope systems and mechanical systems, water (supply and waste) and heating and cooling; windows, ventilation and lighting, finishes and ventilation. For LEED TM Projects the Professional shall:
(i) Begin the integrated design process at the earliest design stages by defining specific sustainable goals for inclusion in programming, budget and schedule.
(ii) The Authority shall register the project in the LEED TM online Internet based system with the USGBC and grant the Professional access to the LEED TM online Internet based system.
(iii) Lead at least two sustainable design/LEED TM workshops (charrettes), one prior to schematic document submission and one prior to construction document submission.
(iv) Incorporate specific performance objectives into the contract documents to achieve a minimu...
