LEED™ and the Lab: A Case Study
Jay Shoemaker,
Francis Cauffman Foley Hoffman, Ltd.
Objectives:
Roswell Park Cancer Institute and The New York Center
for Excellence in Bioinformatics are jointly building a 300,000
square foot state-of-the-art research facility. The case study will
demonstrate: 1) how LEED™ was applied to a research building
and 2) lessons from the design that are applicable to new pharmaceutical
and biotechnology facilities.
Findings:
- A brief systematic description of how the design of a lab meets
current LEED™ requirements
- A brief description of LEED™ innovations
- A brief outline of concepts in and approaches to lab/bioinformatic
facility design
Labs21 Connection:
Multiple drivers are converging on the design of research facilities.
One the one hand, architects are being challenged to make the research
environment as safe and as conducive as possible to excellence in
research; on the other hand, there are the critical sustainability
issues central to Laboratories for the 21st Century (Labs21) and
the USGBC's LEED™ program. Surrounding of all this is the client's
demand to minimize cost and maximize benefit. The presentation will
touch on such Labs21 issues as minimizing the impact to the environment,
optimizing whole building modeling intent on improving building
efficiency, and sharing ideas on how to track and improve beneficial
performance.
