HSBC has implemented strategies such as video conferencing and telecommuting to help lessen travel impacts. Local travel strategies are important and the Egypt Global Service Centre is one of the early adopters of low carbon transportation policies and practices. Priority parking will be given to vehicles that are used for carpooling. Parking capacity at the Egypt GSC can accommodate one vehicle for every four employees, so carpooling is both convenient and provides the greatest opportunity for reducing vehicle trips to the facility. The Egypt GSC has over 50 racks for secured bicycle parking. Bicycling does not contribute carbon or other pollutants to the atmosphere and can contribute to physical fitness. To encourage further use, HSBC has purchased bicycles that will be available for employees to travel to amenities within Smart Village and to other nearby destinations.

Social Investment HSBC recognizes that a thriving society is critical to our future success as a bank. That is why we focus our community investment activity on education and the environment—the building blocks for strong communities. The HSBC together with the Foundation for Environmental Education, created the Eco-Schools Climate Initiative as a programme to encourage students, staff and parents to assess the institution’s infrastructure and curriculum. Trained HSBC volunteers will support the school in reducing carbon emissions and adapting to climate change. More than 1 billion people, or about 30% of the world’s urban population, live in slums among which 15 millions are living in 1221 informal areas in Egypt. Many of these slums are located on private land lacking basic infrastructure such as sewer and water or in areas exposed to high risk phenomena such as floods. HSBC Egypt (HBEG) has created an initiative to use investment strategy, education and business support to improve the fundamental conditions that lead to the physical and social effects of urban poverty.

Resource Efficiency

Transportation

Protection of the earth’s natural life-supporting systems is fundamental to HSBC’s sustainability programme. Our impact arises directly through our own operation and indirectly through the business of our customers. The Egypt GSC will use over 40% less water than similar office buildings with water conservation technologies and practices. Many of the technologies such as low flow water closets, urinals, lavatory faucets, kitchen faucets, and showers can are simple enough to be implemented at home as well as at work! The Egypt GSC has a dedicated area for the storage and collection of materials for recycling. Chutes located on all floors are used to collect all materials in the basement. Visitors and employees are encouraged to recycle all paper, corrugated cardboard, glass, plastic and metal. The Egypt GSC will use smart technologies to help monitor and control energy use throughout the building. Meters will record electrical use and a centralized control system will determine usage trends and help building managers increase the efficiency of the building systems.

What is LEED ?

Buildings are major users of our potable water supply. The goal of the Water Efficiency category is to encourage smarter use of water, inside and out. Water reduction is typically achieved through more efficient appliances, fixtures and fittings inside and waterwise landscaping outside.

Water Conservation

LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Developed by the US Green Building Council, it is an internationally recognized green building rating system that provides third-party verification that a building was designed and built in a sustainable manner. LEED measures sustainability according to exacting standards in 6 major categories:

SUSTAINABLE SITES

MATERIALS & RESOURCES

INDOOR ENVIROMENTAL QUALITY The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that Americans spend about 90% of their time indoors, where the air quality can be significantly worse than outside. The Indoor Environmental Quality category promotes strategies that improve systems controllability, indoor air quality, access to natural daylight and views, and improved acoustics, all of which contribute to a healthy interior space.

ENERGY & ATMOSPHERE

During both the construction and operations phases, buildings generate considerable waste and use significant materials and resources. This category encourages the selection of sustainably grown, harvested, produced and transported products and materials. It promotes the reduction of waste, its reuse and recycling, and takes into account the reduction of waste at a product’s source.

WATER EFFICIENCY Buildings are major users of our potable water supply. The goal of the Water Efficiency category is to encourage smarter use of water, inside and out. Water reduction is typically achieved through more efficient appliances, fixtures and fittings inside and water-wise landscaping outside.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, buildings use 39% of the energy and 74% of the electricity produced each year in the United States. The Energy & Atmosphere category encourages a wide variety of energy strategies: commissioning; energy use monitoring; efficient design and construction; efficient appliances, systems and lighting; the use of renewable and clean sources of energy, generated on-site or off-site; and emissions reduction.

EFFICIENT FIXTURES

LANDSCAPE IRRIGATION

Thanks to efficient water fixtures including faucets, sinks, toilets and urinals, the building uses approximately 45% less water than a typical museum of its size, saving approximately 22,000 gallons of water per year.

PERMEABLE PAVING

The Innovation in Design category encourages projects to use new and innovative technologies and strategies to improve a building’s performance well beyond what is required by other LEED credits, or in green building considerations that are not specifically addressed elsewhere in LEED. This category also rewards projects for including a LEED Accredited Professional on the team to help ensure an integrated approach to the project design and construction.

EFFICIENT FIXTURES Thanks to efficient water fixtures including faucets, sinks, toilets and urinals, the building uses approximately 45% less water than a typical museum of its size, saving approximately 22,000 gallons of water per year.

ENERGY PERFORMANCE Thanks to numerous sustainable design strategies, the building is over 30% more efficient than a convential museum of its size.

HABITAT PROTECTION Over 60% of this project site has been maintained as open space, half of which has been planted with native and adapted species to provide local species with suitable habitat and eliminating the need for site irrigation.

NATURAL HABITAT CREATION An extensive green roof will give back natural vegetation to Erie’s urban context. Vegetation can dramatically impact the air quality and stormwater runoff of the area.

GREEN ROOF DESIGN A 6000 square foot section of the roof has been designed with appropriate structure, pitch, drainage and materials to accommodate a vegetated roof.

A green roof can reduce a building’s cooling loads up to 50 percent.

PERCENT

The building is approximately 45% more water-efficient than a typical museum of its size, saving approximately 22,000 gallons of water annually.

INNOVATION IN DESIGN

SUSTAINABLE SITES

ENERGY REDUCTION

The Museum has made significant efforts to reduce solid surfaces in its landscape, installing permeable paving materials where appropriate and minimizing the amount of concrete paths and walkways. This helps water percolate into the soil on site, rather than conveying it to a treatment facility.

Site irrigation can account for a large percentage of a building’s water usage. Native and adapted species have been selected for landscaping, completely eliminating the need for irrigation at the Art Museum.

Erie Art Museum is certified LEED® Gold.

STORMWATER CONTROL

Extensive vegetated roofs provide an additional area of vegetation within the building site. Green roofs help to eliminate two of the biggest issues cause by large buildings in an urban environment: water runoff and heat island effects, while dramatically increasing the roof’s lifespan and providing strong sound insulation.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT ACCESS With nearly 20 routes running in and around Erie, the EMTA provides more than adequate public transportation to the City of Erie. The Erie Art Museum is located within walking distance of all of these routes, enjoying over 260 bus stops and pickups within � mile on any given day.

LOW VOC MATERIALS The construction team used low-VOC (volatile organic compound) materials including paint, adhesives, and composite wood throughout the building. This, in addition to the amount of fresh air provided to all areas of the building, contributes to overall health of the indoor environment.

RECYCLED MATERIALS Many of the building’s materials are made with recycled content, reducing the amount of virgin materials extracted from the planet. Over 30% (by cost) of all of the building materials in the building renovation and addition consists of recycled content.

The project team will conduct three public meetings in 2011 to help shape the design and functionality of the space.

Kid-Centric Meeting

Thursday, April 28, 5:30 – 7:30pm Colfax Elementary School, 2332 Beechwood Boulevard This session is all about the kids! We invite children, parents, and teachers to join us for a fun, hands-on session where we’ll learn what kids would love to see in the park.

A fun and innovative new space for outdoor learning will be created in Frick Park in memory of two children who loved to play there — Kate and Peter Ambrusko. The space is intended for use by the community's children, including local schools, and its design will celebrate and honor Kate and Peter's love of play and the natural world. The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy will serve as project manager, partnering with Citiparks, the Department of City Planning, and the Department of Public Works. The project team includes Terra Design Studios, evolveEA, and Urban Tree Forge.

Site Visit and Frick Park

Thursday, June 2, 5:30 - 7:30pm Frick Environmental Center, 2005 Beechwood Boulevard Everyone is welcome at this outdoor session, where we’ll be visiting the location of the treehouse and asking everyone for their ideas. Following this activity, the project team will begin to develop design concepts.

Design Concept and Feedback

Thursday, July 28, 5:30 – 7:30pm Location TBD At this public meeting, the project team will unveil a preliminary design for the treehouse, and community members can provide feedback.

We would describe our family as domestic, with a world view. We adopted Caroline and Shannon from China and we return often so the girls will know it well. Even the children comment on the pollution. In the midst of the smog the girls see the car as the problem. I see the car as part of the solution. Design can save the world.

Demetrio and Tuwa are an adventurous couple that maintain an active relationship with their two adopted children, Carolina and Shannon, and love to travel. Both are college graduates. Demetrio is an entrepreneur and jazz musician; Tuwa is an automotive designer. Their family income is $100,000. The family likes riding bikes and walking though their neighborhood. Weekends consist of biking through parks in the morning after dropping the kids at gymnastics and swimming, shopping in the afternoon, an evening movie, and dinner at a new location. Vacations include camping trips, kayaking, and hiking. They love technology and purchasing the latest gadgets. Demetrio and Tuwa are trendsetters; not followers. Ethics and integrity are important aspects they share with their children. They volunteer for community service as a family to demonstrate teamwork, leadership, and lifestyle goals. They are active in the local recycling coop because they believe in a sustainable future. Their vehicle is an extension of their lifestyle. Their home should be likewise. The family purchased a small lot in Dearborn, Michigan for their new home. It is an infill lot in one of Detroit’s older suburbs that is also home to the Ford Motor Company. It is a rectangular lot, 50’ wide x 156’ deep. Setbacks are typical of city lots: 30’ front yard, 10’ rear yard, 5’ side yard. The lot fronts on its east side along Fomoco Avenue, with a 50’ frontage. *Edited from competition brief.

PEOPLE

Tuwa often describes the girls as bundles of energy and indeed, when Caroline and Shannon ride home from school on their GenerationBikes, they are charging their iPods and laptops for their afterschool efforts. As the girls open and close doors (which they do often), and even swing on their swingset, FreeE Generators capture electricity from the motion.

The ventilation system, in addition to being energy-efficient, also provides more fresh air to the space than typical building standards. To do this, carbon dioxide sensors are employed to detect when more air is needed. Smoking is prohibited in or near the space, and the system underwent a two-week “flush-out” to expunge dust and fumes. Clean air has been linked to greater comfort and acuity.

Building Materials Construction materials can typically produce large amounts of waste headed for the landfill. At MAYA, special measures were taken to ensure that all recyclable materials, such as metal, cardboard and drywall, among others, were separated and delivered to materials processors. Where possible, materials containing recycled content were used, such as carpet, drywall, and steel. Materials produced within 500 miles were given preference to reduce fossil fuel usage during transportation. Lastly, materials made from rapidly renewable resources, such as wheat and grass fibers, were specified for cabinets and casework, ceiling tiles, and countertops.

Finishes used in the MAYA space, such as sealants, glues, paints, coatings, and carpet, are considered to be low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These finishes help the space maintain cleaner, fresher air with lower amounts of chemicals and allergens. In particular, the fiberboard and casework made with waste straw used through the spaces contains a binder free of urea-formaldehyde, a common air pollutant.

The lighting of the space is improved by several strategies. Large windows provide daylighting to perimeter areas and views to the outdoors from in the space. Automatic shutoffs keep lights on only when areas are being occupied. Occupants are able to control the lighting in their personal environments through light controls and task lighting. Elevator

The MAYA space was designed with energy conservation in mind. The heating & air conditioning system provides better thermal comfort while exceeding stringent requirements for energy efficiency. The system was then examined by an outside agent, or commissioned, to ensure it performs as it was originally intended. All new appliances purchased are Energy Star compliant, and all reused appliances will eventually be replaced with Energy Star rated equipment. Combined, the energy-saving measures will decrease energy use by 18% over typical office building usage.

MAYA is committed to high environmental standards by “greening” its operational practices. This includes establishing a recycling program for not only the MAYA space, but for the entire building as well. Green housekeeping practices will be adopted to ensure the use of cleansers that are non-toxic, non-flammable, and biodegradable. MAYA will educate its employees and visitors about the merits of the sustainable features and practices employed in the space. Leed Certification MAYA space is registered with and will eventually receive LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification under the LEED Commercial Interiors program. Authored by the US Green Building Council, the LEED rating system provides third party certification that a project has been designed and built in a comprehensively ecological manner, resulting in a lesser environmental footprint and healthier interiors than conventional projects.

Nearly all parking at South Side Works is in structured garages, preventing unnecessary sprawl and paving. Preferential carpool spaces have been designated for MAYA in nearby garages. Nearby walking and bicycling trails and public buses provide easy access to the South Side, Station Square, Oakland, and Downtown. Covered bicycle racks near the office and showers within the MAYA space offer a convenient transportation alternative and an opportunity for commuting or exercise.
