Earth Smart program due to an issue with the contract language, however, the recommendations from the program may be adopted. Achievement of this point depends on implementing the recommendations and using the results of the DOE2 study. PGE will not allow the County access to the DOE2 study unless they participate in the Earth Smart program. Byron Courts volunteered to ask PGE if the DOE2 study could be purchased without participating in the Earth Smart program. If the study can be purchased and the recommendations from the Earth Smart program are implemented, this point can be achieved. • Measurement and Verification - Achievement of this point depends on access to the DOE2 study. • Construction IAO ManaQement Level 1 and Leve12 - The group discussed how to achieve this point. John Gremmels agreed to do the work necessary to achieve this point. He also esrimated the cost of achieving this point. • Use of Low VOC Materials - Language is included in the specification to achieve these points. Actual compliance will need to be tracked through the course of construction. As a result, it is not clear if these points can be achieved at this time. • Design of Chemical Stora eg Areas - The project does not comply with the letter of the credit, however, the intent of the credit may be met. Holly with work with Oliver to understand how these areas are vented so that she can negotiate the point with the LEED Committee. . Water-Efficient Landscape - T'his point cannot be achieved because the plants in containers will need to be watered on an ongoing basis. • LEED Certified Desi~rPr - A member of the design team will complete LEED Design Training if it is offerea before the project is completed. This point can be obtained. • Convert Buses to Natural Gas - The buses will be converted to natural gas. It is highly likely that an innovation point can be achieved. • Permanent Air MonitorinQ Svstem - Oliver and Byron discussed the impracticality of installing a permanent air monitoring system that has the capability of monitoring total volatile organic compounds in an office building. In addition, reliable equipment dces not exist at an affordable price. It does, however, make sense to monitor CO and C02. The cost of this type of monitoring system was discussed. Holly agreed to negotiate this point with the LEED Committee. It is highly likely that an additional four points can be obtained at no cost. Another six,points can be obtained with additiorial cost to the project for a total of 21 points. III. Idenrify Costs Associated «~i:h Clarifications or Modifications and Other Considerations Such as Long-Term Savings and Side '~ •~nefits Cost estimates were discussed to achieve specific points. It was agreed that Leonard would put together a formal cost proposal and forward it to Holly Stirnkorb for discussion at the meeting scheduled for July 1, 1999. The group discussed the following rough esrimates during the meeting: • Energy Efficiency Level 1- Oliver Raab submitted a cost proposal of $750 to Leonard Lodder to conduct the California Title 24 code compliance assessment An additional 10% would be added to this cost to cover Leonard's time, for an estimated total of $825. • Fnerg,v Efficiencv Leve12 - There are several costs,associated with achieving this credit Oliver Raab submitted a cost proposal of $2,000 to Leonard Lodder to verify that the project exceeded ASHRAE 90.1. Including Leonard's time, the cost for tlus verification would be $2,200. Implementation of the Earth Smart recommendations for higher efficiency glazing and daylighring control may cost $35,000. It may cost $12,000 to purchase the DOE2 study if the project dces not participate in the Earth Smart program. The worst case cost scenario to achieve this credit may be $49,200 including the cost of implementing the Earth Smart recommendations. • Construcrion IAQ ManaQement Level 1 and Leve12 - John Gremmels estimated that it would ; cost $1,500 to instali the requir.ed filters and write and implement a Construction IAQ management plan. r•
