This commercial building issituated within a brownfield redevelopment andincorporates a number <strong>of</strong> green building features,such as rainwater storage <strong>for</strong> toilet flushing andoperable windows. The 30,000 square foot greenro<strong>of</strong> was completed in the summer <strong>of</strong> 2002 and per<strong>for</strong>ms multiple functions withinthe building. The 28 acre site was redeveloped with a design goal <strong>of</strong> reducingnon-point source pollution in order to protect the Gwynns Falls Watershed, theInner Harbour <strong>of</strong> Baltimore and ultimately Cheaspeake Bay. It was also designedto provide the developer with an opportunity to attract and retain tenants, such asthe Maryland Department <strong>of</strong> the Environment. The system can be viewed fromseven floors above but is not designed <strong>for</strong> occupant access. It was constructedas an inverted membrane assembly using a single ply PVC membrane over whichlies four inches <strong>of</strong> poly-iso insulation board, and 3 inches <strong>of</strong> growing medium separatedby two geotextile filter fabrics. The plants are comprised <strong>of</strong> 12 differentdrought tolerant sedum species that will show well throughout the year. The ro<strong>of</strong>was designed <strong>for</strong> minimal maintenance requirements and has no permanent irrigationsystem. The green ro<strong>of</strong> generates energy efficiency benefits, will extendthe longevity <strong>of</strong> the membranes, and reduces the urban heat island and annualrun<strong>of</strong>f by an estimated 50% to 75%. The first extensive green ro<strong>of</strong> in Baltimore,this project provides a great opportunity to raise awareness <strong>of</strong> the multi-functionalbenefits <strong>of</strong> green ro<strong>of</strong> infrastructure.<strong>Green</strong> <strong>Ro<strong>of</strong></strong> <strong>Awards</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Excellence</strong> Chicago 2003
Category: New Extensive901 Cherry Offices <strong>for</strong> Gap Inc., San Bruno, Cali<strong>for</strong>niaAward Recipient: William McDonough + PartnersGensler & Associates, Executive Architect and Interior Design ArchitectWilliam Wilson and Associates, Construction ManagerHargreaves & Associates, Landscape ArchitectPaul Kephart, Grassland SpecialistOve Arup & Partners, EngineersSwinerton, General Contractor(c) William McDonough + PartnersLocated in the hills above SanFrancisco International Airport, 901Cherry Offices <strong>for</strong> Gap Inc. wasdesigned to blend in almostseemlessly into its steeply slopingsavannah foothills site. Designedfirst and <strong>for</strong>most as a great place towork, the building was completed in1997 and incorporates diverseelements including a café, a fitness centre, a conference facility and otheramenities. Its defining sustainable design feature is a 69,000 square foot greenro<strong>of</strong> covered in native grasses and wildflowers. The design <strong>of</strong> this undulatinggreen ro<strong>of</strong> had a fundamental effect upon the building's design pr<strong>of</strong>ile, itsphysical relationship to the surrounding environment, its mechanicalper<strong>for</strong>mance, acoustical and thermal com<strong>for</strong>t and stormwater management. Thesystem utilizes an American Hydrotech waterpro<strong>of</strong>ing membrane, and 6 inches <strong>of</strong>growing medium. Studies showed initial costs to be about 130% <strong>of</strong> a conventionalbase case, net first costs approximately 185% and annual operating costs <strong>of</strong> just70% <strong>of</strong> a conventional ro<strong>of</strong>. Annual energy cost saving projections demonstrateda simple payback <strong>of</strong> 11 years. Any excess rainfall is recycled back onto the ro<strong>of</strong><strong>for</strong> irrigation purposes. The mass <strong>of</strong> the ro<strong>of</strong>attenuates sound transmission by up to 50Db, providing an acoustic barrier to the airtraffic above. Like other native grasslands,the ro<strong>of</strong> is a highly self-sustaining ecosystemrequiring minimal annual maintenance. Thegreen ro<strong>of</strong> not only allows the <strong>of</strong>fices to blendinto the landscape, but it also atones <strong>for</strong> thevery space occupied by the building - <strong>for</strong> abird flying overhead, nothing has changed!(c) Mark Luthringer<strong>Green</strong> <strong>Ro<strong>of</strong></strong> <strong>Awards</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Excellence</strong> Chicago 2003
