\\MABOS\projects\11381.00\reports\Article80\ Expanded_PNF\04_Environmental_FINAL.do c Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. The Point, Boston Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) Minimum IAQ Performance (IEQ Prerequisite 1). This prerequisite is achievable. The ventilation code utilized for the Project will be ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2007, as required by the present Massachusetts Building Code. Environmental Tobacco Smoke Control (IEQ Prerequisite 2). This prerequisite is achievable. The Proponent intends to designate the entire building as a non-smoking facility. Construction IAQ Management Plan –During Construction, Before Occupancy (IEQ Credit 3.1, 3.2). These credits are achievable. An Indoor Air Quality Management plan will be implemented during the construction phase, per the requirements of this credit. Low-Emitting Materials (IEQ Credits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4). These credits are achievable. Project specifications will encourage provision and tracking of adhesives, sealants, paint, and carpet with low VOC content limits, as prescribed by the respective applicable standards. Additionally, composite wood products with no added urea-formaldehyde will be investigated further during design and specified, where feasible. Indoor Chemical and Pollutant Source Control (IEQ Credit 5). This credit is achievable. A permanent entryway system is expected to be installed at high-volume building entrances to prevent air contaminants from entering the building. Housekeeping and laundry areas are expected to be separated and exhausted to outside to comply with the requirements of this credit. Air handling units are expected to be provided with appropriate filtration to meet the credit. Controllability of Systems (IEQ Credits 6.1, 6.2). These credits are achievable. Individual lighting and temperature controls in the residential areas of the building will meet the minimum requirements of these credits. For retail spaces, providing individual lighting and thermal comfort controls in office and administrative spaces (per the LEED BD+C Retail Supplement) will be encouraged through tenant guidelines for fit-out. Thermal Comfort (IEQ Credit 7.1). This credit is expected to be achievable. The building envelope and HVAC systems are expected to be designed to meet the requirements of ASHRAE 55-2004. Daylight and Views (IEQ Credits 8.1, 8.2). These credits are achievable. Based on conceptual design, daylight exposure and views are expected to be maximized and will continue to be evaluated in detail during final design to determine compliance with the credit requirements. Innovation in Design (ID) Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan (ID Credit 1.1). This credit is achievable as an Exemplary Performance credit under SSc4. Consistent with the City’s goals to reduce auto dependency, the Project will offer TDM measures to encourage alternative modes of transportation. (Refer to Chapter 3, Transportation for further details.) 4-44 Environmental Protection
\\MABOS\projects\11381.00\reports\Article80\ Expanded_PNF\04_Environmental_FINAL.do c Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. The Point, Boston Tenant Design and Construction Guidelines (ID Credit 1.2). This credit is achievable as an Innovation in Design credit. 14 The Proponent intends to develop ‘green’ tenant guidelines, educational programs, and resources for residents within the building (described further below). Energy Star Appliances (ID Credit 1.3). This credit may be achievable as an Innovation in Design credit. 15 The Project will seek to reduce overall non-regulated energy use by utilizing Energy Star appliances in the apartment units (must demonstrate a minimum five percent energy savings from Energy Star compliant appliances). Building Downsizing (ID Credit 1.4). This credit may be achievable as a Innovation in Design credit. 16 Through the identification of opportunities to minimize the impact of the proposed building (i.e., energy and water use) through the reduced need for built space, including shared facilities with Trilogy, the Project may achieve this Innovation in Design credit. Construction Waste Management (ID Credits 1.5). This credit may be achievable as an Exemplary Performance credit under MRc2. As stated previously under MRc2, the Construction Manager will implement a waste management plan that will seek to divert at least 75 percent of construction and demolition waste material removed from the site from landfills through recycling and salvaging. This credit may be pursued aggressively in order to divert/recycle a minimum of 95 percent of the construction waste. This credit will be determined during construction. LEED Accredited Professional (ID Credit 2). This credit is achievable. As discussed previously, the project team includes multiple LEED Accredited Professionals. Tenant Guidelines The Proponent will attach to tenant leases (both retail and residential) an exhibit with information on the sustainable/green building features of the Project and how the tenant can participate/support sustainability through their operations and/or use of the leased space. A Retail Tenant Guidelines document will include information on the sustainable aspects of the site and the base retail spaces, and will further encourage the retail tenant(s) to make their build-out as sustainable as possible. This could include recommending utilization of the LEED for Commercial Interiors (CI) rating system criteria as guidance. The Retail Tenant Guidelines may describe the LEED-CI rating program and identify aspects of the core/shell design that could be targeted to make LEED-CI certification easier for the retail tenant(s) to achieve. A Residential Tenant Guidelines will include information on the sustainable aspects of the site and the base residential units/buildings, including education on installed energy star appliances and a copy of the ‘No Smoking’ policy. These guidelines will further encourage the residential tenant(s) to support the sustainable features, such as tips/measures to reduce energy use, coordinate carpooling to work with other tenants, City of Boston recycling information). 14 According to the USGBC Innovation in Design Credit Catalog (last updated in March 2008). 15 According to the USGBC Innovation in Design Credit Catalog (last updated in March 2008). 16 According to the USGBC Innovation in Design Credit Catalog (last updated in March 2008). 4-45 Environmental Protection
