Thoreau Center for Sustainability. The Thoreau

Center is a model illustrating the practical integration

of sustainable design within the context of a national

historic landmark.

Kansas City Zoo Deramus Pavilion. This design supports

and symbolizes the mission of the zoo and exempliﬁ es a

sustainable design for a civic structure. This design clearly

expresses the aesthetic of natural materials and use of

daylighting. It is constructed from salvaged or sustainably

managed wood and got its design clues from the ecological

site planning process.

New York Life Building (right). Under the long-life loose-ﬁ t

sustainable design challenge, this design combines historic

preservation and environmentally sensitive design. The

design takes advantage of inherent green qualities of the

original nineteenth-century building (inﬁ ll, daylighting,

natural ventilation, and long-lasting materials).

REI Seattle Flagship. Coop members were polled for

their environmental priorities, which were used as

design criteria. The project balances environmental

and cost accountability with retailing needs. Energy

efﬁ ciency, use of resource-efﬁ cient materials and

recycled-content materials, and the recycling and reuse

of construction and demolition waste were central to

this design solution.

Bainbridge Island City Hall. Recycled content and

reused materials are integrated throughout the design as a

public message. The city’s stormwater management system

was signiﬁ cantly upgraded as part of site preparation.

Daylighting, optimized natural ventilation, and nontoxic

ﬁ nishes provide a healthier and safer indoor environment.

C. K. Choi Building. This design achieves 57 percent below ASHRAE

90.1 energy consumption levels, helped by the use of occupancy and

daylight sensors. Atrium designs facilitate natural ventilation by

inducing a stack effect, and ventilation strips under windows ensure

continuous air exchange. Exterior bricks are recycled from Vancouver

city streets and all doors and frames are reused from demolished build-

ings. There is no sewer connection, as composting toilets and urinals

require no water, and gray water from all sinks is recycled and used

for irrigation.

New South Jamaica Branch Library. The energy performance of the library is integral to

the basic architectural design, supported by a sophisticated mechanical and electrical

control system. The building’s relationship to the sun drives the architectural form,

and the changing effects of natural light are signiﬁ cant to the quality of the interior

space.

Adeline Street Urban Salvage Project.

Integrating a sustainable attitude to an urban

neighborhood inﬁ ll project. The concept is

compact, simple, and responsive to recycled

materials and unique uses.

Chesapeake Bay Foundation Headquarters. Chesapeake Bay Foundation is dedicated to

protecting and preserving the environment. Its mission and its dedication to that mission

drove the design and inspired the design team.

PNC Firstside Center. Energy costs at PNC Firstside are 50 percent lower than the

conventional building’s and employee retention has improved 60 percent.

Sleeping Lady. The project endorsed integrated design—simplicity, placeness, climate-responsive design, and

enhancing the relationships of social and natural systems.

Zion National Park Visitor Center.

Indigenous and long-lasting

materials, coupled with the use

of passive ventilation towers,

characterize this landmark

building.

Camp Arroyo. This environmental education

camp, which serves middle-school students

as well as critically ill children and other

guests, was designed to demonstrate a series

of ecological design principles as part of the

curriculum.

Ediﬁ cio Malecon. This 125,000-

square-foot ofﬁ ce building was built

on a reclaimed brownﬁ eld site at

Puerto Madero, a redevelopment

area in Buenos Aires. Its garage was

built within the foundations of a

nineteenth-century warehouse.

Pier 1. This adaptive-reuse project transformed a dilapidated warehouse on San Francisco’s

waterfront to 140,000 square feet of class A ofﬁ ce space and an acre of new public open

space. Water ﬂ ows through radiant tubes in ﬂ oor slabs for heating and cooling. This

system moderates the interior climate according to each zone’s location and orientation.

Generated heat is rejected into a submerged condenser water loop under the building.

Colorado Court. The

44-unit, ﬁ ve-story building

is the ﬁ rst affordable

housing project in the

United States to be 100

percent energy neutral. This

project provides an excel-

lent model of sustainable

development in an urban

environment and promotes

diversity through strategi-

cally placed affordable

housing.

Fisher Pavilion. This is one of the ﬁ rst buildings in Seattle to be designed and constructed

under the city policy requiring all public facilities over $5 million to achieve a LEED Silver

rating. Burying the building and using the high-mass thermal capacity of a concrete roof

decreases envelope loads on the building.

Steinhude Sea Recreation Facility.

The theme for EXPO 2000, “Man,

Nature, Environment,” led to the goal of

an artistically intriguing structure that

was fully self-sustaining with minimal

impact on the surrounding ecosystem.

This small recreation facility is located

on an island at the south shore of the

Steinhude Sea. The island ecosystem

consists of a beach area, green ﬁ elds,

nature walk, children’s play area,

and a bird sanctuary. The new 3,057-

square-foot facility accommodates,

with minimal ecological impact, a café,

lifeguard facilities, boathouse, storage,

public toilets and showers, and an

exhibition area and observation deck.

Prefabrication of the building in

a nearby factory resulted in waste

minimization and ecosystem protection.

20 River Terrace. The

Solaire is a 27-story,

glass-and-brick residen-

tial tower in Battery Park

City, Manhattan, directly

adjacent to the site of the

former World Trade Center.

The design meets both

the recently enacted New

York State Green Building

Tax Credit and Gold

LEED Certiﬁ cation. The

357,000-square-foot, 293-

unit building is estimated

to require 35 percent less

energy than conventional

code-complying design;

reduce peak demand for

electricity by 65 percent;

and require 50 percent less

potable water.
