ABOUT US

JONES ARCHITECTURE DESIGN • AT YOUR SERVICE

Our process starts by asking, then listening; it deepens with research and response, advances with more probing and integration, and culminates in a union of ideas, needs and aspirations. In this way, service and design are intertwined such that a durable and quiet beauty emerges.

JONES COMMITMENT 1

THE JONES COMMITMENT

At Jones Architecture we strive to achieve Whole Practice Sustainability - an initiative to expand our practice to encompass the full scope of factors that lead to a sustainable world. Sustainability is defined as meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs; as such, it embodies three interconnected pillars: ecological, social and economic health and stability. Our firm’s Sustainability Council focuses on those ecological impacts by participating in the AIA 2030 Commitment.

WE BELIEVE:

• The little things matter, and that considering our actions relative to those around us can have a huge impact if it is done with care and as a community.

• Sustainability is a standard practice in design, and it should be treated with a combination of unique solutions that come with every project.

• One of the most effective sustainable strategies makes the most of what you already have by preserving, protecting and renewing natural systems and resources through renovation.

• We have the power to tackle climate change, and it is crucial to prioritize and continuously improve our sustainability practices so that we may leave as light a footprint as possible.

WE DEFINE EQUITABLE, SUSTAINABLE, AND RESILIENT DESIGN AS:

• Design that provides an elevated experience for all users promoting inclusive, occupant comfort and well-being.

• Design that saves resources for future generations and makes environmentally conscious choices.

• Design prioritized to combat climate change by selecting materials and details that can withstand challenges and adapt to changing conditions.

• Smart renovation that emphasizes flexible solutions that can withstand the test of time.

OUR GOALS:

• Establish consistent guidelines for discussing sustainability methods with clients, living realistic guidelines that also allow us to achieve milestones within our practice.

• Commit to a continued social & sustainability audit of the material library and our specifications, construction waste-tracking, and monitoring energy-use.

• Balance economic viability and environmental protection with the needs of users and the community.

• Provide quality construction, durable materials, and versatile design which aims to reduce the carbon footprint of our work.

PRACTICE GOALS

In 2023, a sustainability committee was established at Jones Architecture, whose task was to translate our offices’ sustainable design aspirations into an actionable plan, the Sustainability Action Plan. The committee initially struggled with how to best define what sustainability means for Jones, specifically within a project. Many of our projects are not LEED or WELL certified, and none of our projects are currently tracking Passive House or Net Zero goals. Despite that, our project teams consistently include ”sustainable practices” as part of every project, which consists of the somewhat random application of sustainable design principle/ elements entirely up to the design team to implement the committee set out to establish what these sustainable practices ought to be, how they could be quantified, and finally published as an office wide reference to be applied to every project within the office. The committee also worked to develop specifications, standards, and resources, to aid the application of these new office project sustainability guidelines. We hope that by defining this approach and supporting with the materials, that we can bring clarity to how sustainable practices should be applied in the office, and working with this as a foundation, advance the sustainable design we aspire to achieve as an office.

BUILDING SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES MATERIAL SELECTION

Materials Matter

Materials have been selected that have both a high recycled content and can be easily recycled at the end of their lifespan. The chemical content of materials was also considered to reduce off gassing and improve indoor air quality.

BUILDING SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES PHOTOVOLTAIC ARRAY

Renewable Energy

BUILDING SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES FLEXIBLE WORKSPACE

Multipurpose

The movable wall in this space allows adaptation to meet the needs of the user today and in the future. The dynamic space will serve multiple roles, remaining useful for years to come.

Onsite generation of clean electricity will reduce the demand on the existing utility infrastructure, while decreasing fossil fuel combustion and CO2 emissions. A photovoltaic array mounted to the roof will convert solar energy to power sold back to the grid.

ELECTRICAL SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES LIGHTING CONTROLS

Bright Idea

The light fixtures in this space have been designed with controls that allow for multiple scenes to meet the users' needs to promote productivity, comfort and well-being. Vacancy sensors are installed to turn off when the space is unoccupied saving

BUILDING SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES EXTERIOR TERRACE

Go Outside

We all have an innate instinct to connect with nature. An outdoor place of respite can reduce mental fatigue and establish a connection to the natural world. This terrace is located on the East side of the building where one can enjoy the early day sun away from the noise of Main Street.

ELECTRICAL SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES ACCESS FLOOR

Stay Flexible

Below your feet is an access floor which is the main component of an overall adaptive reuse strategy, reducing waste generated by the project while streamlining the process of reconfiguration.

Playing Cards of sustainable building features for DUA Brockton Project, 2022

HOLISTIC APPROACH

ENERGY

Measuring and reporting energy use in an effort to join the AIA’s 2030 Commitment to achieve Net Zero Energy.

CARBON

Reuse of materials and the thoughtful selection of new materials with a low carbon footprint & economic value.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Thoughtful selection of new materials that limit harmful chemicals and design that factors in occupant health and comfort.

SUSTAINABILITY + PROJECTS

As a council, we agree that our projects should have sustainability goals beyond the AIA 2030 Energy Reporting as a baseline of sustainability standard as it applies to the project size & program types that exist in our bread and butter jobs. And we understand that little efforts add up to large affects overtime, so we therefore aim to define sustainable design goals for any project that comes through our door. This allows us to expand upon what AIA has laid out and approach sustainable design holistically, which is a core principle of our practice.

The Sustainability Goals Matrix maps out what those guidelines are, depending on the scale of the project, and includes goals that target the environmental, social & economic areas of sustainability (Energy, Carbon, Health& Wellness) that we felt important to address in order to achieve a holistic approach.

SUSTAINABILITY + SPECIFICATIONS

One of the ways Jones practices sustainability in our day-to-day is through thoughtful systems and product specifications. Many of our projects are publicly bid, requiring three equal products in a specification. Our product research focuses on material ingredients and production, and how readily the material can be recycled and reused. We frame our priorities within a budget that fits the needs of our clients. We seek to build on this through the creation of a Green Spec Outline & Checklist (Appendix A), customized to our typical project types in collaboration with our frequent specification writer, Kalin Associates. This serves as a starting point for all project specification manuals.

Figure 1, New Product Checklist

2, Material Library Diagram

SUSTAINABILITY STANDARDS + RESOURCES

As generalists, our office has a healthy range of project scales and typologies, mainly in the higher education renovation space. Our higher education partners typically have their own sustainability specifications that we implement on their projects. We integrate some of our university partners’ standards into the way we keep and organize our physical material library. In theory, anyone in our office would be able to grab a sample off the shelf to specify or reference and trust that it already meets a high level of sustainability standards, whether that is set by our typical university clients or internally.

We created a New Product Checklist (Figure 1, Appendix B) to hold an office standard for new materials we add to our Material Library (Figure 2). We use this checklist to ask product representatives critical questions as they pertain to their products during in person sessions. This has empowered a range of designers to engage in discussions beyond aesthetics. The checklist may evolve to become a draft email for our office manager to screen manufacturers and products before they make it through our door, as a way to hold space for products that truly align with our values & the shared values of our partners.

SUSTAINABILITY GOALS MATRIX

Figure 3, Goals Matrix

ESTABLISHING SUSTAINABILITY

A common issue with integrating sustainable practices into any project without guidelines or a specific certification (ex. LEED, WELL, Living Building, etc.) is having a goal up front & following up on that goal at the end. We are realists in the sense that we know things fall through the cracks, get value engineered out, or swapped in the submittal process. This guide is intended to reinforce the original sustainability standards from beginning to end and see where the pitfalls still lie. The Sustainability Council has tailored several goals across all project sizes that integrate the three values outlined in our Design Approach (see section 2) beyond the AIA 2030 Net Zero goal in mind.

PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY GUIDE

The Goals Matrix is meant to set the stage for the sustainability expectations as the front bookend and provide a sustainability baseline for all projects. It integrates our thinking about project scale, local codes, and design ethos. It will be used to identify specific baseline sustainability goals and criteria at the beginning of any given project. This graphically illustrates the overlap and differences between AIA 2030 goals & Jones Arch Goals by project scale and key design considerations. The Metrics & Goals Worksheet (Figure 4) calls project managers

to action at project closeout. The purpose of this worksheet is to record & report project data to the DDx report & reflect on where the project followed through on goals identified in the Goals Matrix and to what capacity. The worksheet ranking system allows project managers to give the Sustainability Council critical feedback on what is and is not working for them, giving us an opportunity to react and redirect course. This worksheet builds on the existing marketing worksheet we typically receive at the end of a project to streamline marketing efforts, however the question “How Green?” invited us to push this question further to ask “What Goals did you work towards, achieve or exceed?”.

The Resource Directory section of Appendix C compiles reliable resources intended to create easy access into our collective knowledge for each of the goals categories, and more. The resources are categorized and organized as they pertain to the AIA 2030 Commitment, Energy, Carbon, Health & Wellness, Materials & Products, and Pre/Post Occupancy. This is intended to empower all our designers with a place to self-start the sustainability journey with resources we have reviewed & vetted. New resources pop up every day, but we find it helpful to share the resources that have worked for us in the past or for a similar project. This is a living directory intended to be updated regularly.

SUSTAINABILITY COUNCIL

Jones Architecture takes on a decentralized-hybrid system approach with the Sustainability Council Structure to ensure knowledge is shared, new processes are applied in practice, & new ideas are nurtured. Since our project teams are already structured in a studio style, this will be simple to implement and can be visualized in Figure 5

The Council will organize opportunities for various sustainability training sessions, support staff in pursing and maintaining sustainability, health & wellness credentials, and encourage office-wide conversations to discuss sustainability trends & topics relevant to our work and interests.

The Council will meet quarterly to establish annual goals & review incremental progress throughout the year. Follow-up focus group meetings will be held as needed to coordinate on specific tasks, goals, or projects between quarterly meetings. Beyond those mentioned in the following defined roles, individual efforts may be needed for meeting collective goals & tasks.

SUSTAINABILITY LEADERS

DEFINED ROLES

We will start with two distinct Council member types and they will work together to set goals and divide tasks at the start of the council’s service year. These roles may evolve as we test strategies & learn more about the practice’s goals. In general, anyone in the office can sit in on general meetings, as an open door policy. These roles help us identify those who have historic knowledge on the workings of the Council’s ongoing projects & tasks.

SUSTAINABILITY LEADERS

(3-4) full-time employees who serve (2) consecutive years, at the minimum, on the council.

These members are encouraged to have or be in the process of attaining a LEED, WELL, or other applicable credential. They are responsible for continuing the work of the previous council and passing it onto new members. They will research conversation topics about sustainability in applicable project and practice aspects and work to keep up with emerging research, share new resources, present opportunities for industry involvement and support new members in developing new goals, initiatives, and tasks. This group will also assist as needed when it comes to DDx reporting & assembling an annual sustainability report.

SUSTAINABILITY ADVOCATES

SUSTAINABILITY ADVOCATES

(1-4) full-time employees, serving for (1) year on the council. This group rotates annually & the number of participants may vary year to year. They will have the option to continue serving on the council to become a Sustainability Leader.

These members will support collective goals and tasks the council has set forth for the next year. They may be interested in attaining a green credential and seek mentorship from a Sustainability Leader to guide them in the process. This group of members will support the completion of tasks & goals of the Council, set at the beginning of the year. They will also assist with DDx reporting & in assembling graphics or data organization for the annual sustainability report.

PROJECT REPORTING

We will be reporting ALL lighting power density (LPD) calculations & energy use intensity (EUI) metrics for mid-size & large projects to the DDx (the good, the bad & the ugly) at each project closeout. We will utilize both direct reporting and energy modeling as it applies to the specific project. The project manager will utilize the Metrics & Goals Worksheet in the Project Sustainability Guide (Appendix B) with assistance from the Sustainability Council to perform the report.

The Sustainability Council will hold reporting training sessions and check-ins at least once-per-year to ensure that projects are being input and metrics are being tracked correctly. Having this cache of project data will allow the Sustainability Council to evaluate progress towards our practice goals. We have hosted one office meeting to introduce DDx Direct Inputs and documented the process as a resource for the office (Appendix D)

Additionally, we will be back logging projects from the past few years, before these standards were put in place, to give use a base to check against after year one of implementing intentional sustainable strategies.

INTERNAL TRAINING & EDUCATION

ON-BOARDING

EMPLOYEE GROWTH

ON-BOARDING

We integrate Sustainability from Day 1 for all new employees. Some of the ways we currently introduce our approach to this important topic are listed below:

• Meet the Material Library! “Interested in councils? Let’s talk about Whole Practice Sustainability and Wellness.”

• Introduction to the Jones Green Spec

• Being part of diverse teams, as a framework for equity and inclusion. Introduction to the Jones DEI Council.

• Introduction to the Project Sustainability Guide

• Focused working meetings with council and project team on incorporating environmental tactics.

In addition to these processes, we intend to introduce each new employee to this SAP as part of the on-boarding process.

INTERNAL OPERATIONS

CURRENT OPERATIONAL METRICS

IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES

CURRENT OPERATIONAL METRICS

To understand our internal operations better Jones conducted in office-wide survey as well as an audit of our current energy efficiency, waste management, and sustainable processes.

We note our current (2023) gas and electricity usage in Figure 6 & . We will review this data and look for opportunities to reduce our energy usage. For example, as part of a recent upgrade, our office has installed water conserving fixtures in our restrooms and kitchenette.

Our office’s waste management policy currently includes weekly recycling and composting service. The informational graphic (Figure 8) from Black Earth Compost shows how much waste has been diverted from our office since the programs’ inception in 2021.

We offer commuting alternatives, encouraging the use of public transportation, carpooling, biking and walking, as well as a robust workfrom-home policy that seeks to reduce unnecessary in-person meetings.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

We strive to create a healthy work environment. We provide all employees with Sit-to-Stand desks and have recently started an initiative of WELLness Wednesdays. A recent office renovation replaced existing inoperable windows with new operable windows, giving employees access to natural ventilation and increased occupant comfort.

Figure 6Figure 7

Figure 8

IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES

Based on the survey results, we have outlined several strategies to make the Jones office more sustainable. By implementing these strategies, Jones office can reduce its environmental impact, promote a culture of sustainability among employees, and contribute to a greener future.

ENERGY

Energy Efficiency Measures: Implement energy-efficient practices such as installing LED lighting, utilizing smart thermostats, and ensuring all office equipment is Energy Star certified.

Water Conservation: Implement water-saving measures such as lowflow fixtures, and promoting habits like waiting until the dishwasher is full before running it.

CARBON

Remote Work: Continue promoting and incentivizing remote work options to reduce commuting emissions and energy consumption in the office. Figure 9 showing current utilization of work from home.

Alternative Transportation Incentives: Offer incentives for employees to use alternative modes of transportation such as public transit, biking, or carpooling, and provide transit benefits to encourage uptake. Figure 10 shows how Jones employee are currently getting to the office and job sites.

Site Visit Optimization: Optimize site visit schedules to minimize travel distances and frequency, utilizing video conferencing and virtual site tours when feasible to reduce carbon footprint.

Figure 9

Figure 10

Waste Reduction and Recycling: Improve waste management systems with clear signage and education to ensure proper separation of recyclables and compostables, minimizing waste sent to landfills.

Sustainable Procurement: Source office supplies and materials from local and sustainable vendors whenever possible, prioritizing products with minimal packaging and recycled content.

Paperless Office: Continue promoting paperless practices, such as digital document management, electronic signatures, and doublesided printing, to reduce paper usage and waste.

Reusable Products: Provide employees with reusable water bottles, coffee mugs, and discourage single-use plastics in the office.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Education and Awareness: Conduct regular sustainability training sessions and awareness campaigns to educate employees on best practices and foster a culture of sustainability within the office.

Healthy Food Options: Encourage any food provided at the office, including food provided by outside vendors, to be healthy and locally sourced. Review options for employees to source and grow their food locally.

Going Local: Provide opportunities for employees to get involved in their local community, through sustainability advocacy, DEI initiatives, and volunteering efforts.

QUICK START GUIDE

When beginning a new project...

A Forward from The Sustainability Council

Goals for any given project can vary widely, but one thing we can keep consistent are the firm’s attitude toward Project Sustainability. You can write in more goals if you’re feeling ambitious, but it helps to have somewhere to start!

We will be reporting ALL lighting power density (LPD) calculations & energy use intensity (EUI) metrics for Level 2 projects & up to the AIA’s Design Data Exchange (DDx). This contributes to the AIA 2030 database to track & reach net zero energy emissions across all committed firms of the built environment. Starting your project in the DDx platform at the beginning of a project will reduce how much effort you need to put in at project closeout.

We have carefully tailored “JA Goals” for the typical Jones Arch project typology and interests that reflect our Design Approach addressing carbon, human health & wellness. These goals will evolve year to year as we reflect on our DDx Trial Period.

Please highlight the AIA 2030 & JA Goals your project falls under at the beginning of the design project with the “Goals Matrix”. You will be asked again about these goals at project close-out in the “Metrics & Goals Worksheet”.

REPORTING TUTORIAL

VIA THE AIA

DDX

JONES ARCHITECTURE AND THE DESIGN DATA EXCHANGE (DDX)

The AIA notes that “firms are encouraged to regularly input and track projects in the DDx on an ongoing basis. Tracking can be done on an ongoing basis, with portfolio submission due March 31 for the preceding calendar year. All design projects meeting the following criteria should be included:

• Was in an active design phase during the report calendar year (Conceptual, Schematic, Design Development, Construction Documents or Construction Administration);

• Architectural projects with minimum scope including HVAC system modifications or substantial envelope modifications;

• OR interiors-only projects which included lighting design.

We don’t suggest including a project just because the data looks good, in the same way we don’t recommend leaving one out because it is not meeting the goal.”

Projects can be uploaded to the DDx either by Direct Input, Bulk Upload (for multiple projects), or directly with Energy Modeling software. For Jones, we will utilize the Direct Input method typically.

As outlined in the Project Sustainability Goals Matrix, typically only Mid-Size and Large projects will be uploaded to the DDx. Large projects may have an energy model associated with them, while Mid-Size projects can be Direct Input.

To get started go to https://2030ddx.aia.org/

Log in, or create an account. You will need to be added to Jones Architecture to view and input projects. A member of the Sustainability Council can assist you with setting up your account.

See the following pages for a step-by-step guide for how to Direct Report a project in the DDx.

How to calculate LPD, Step 1: Create an RCP and tag all your light fixtures

How to calculate LPD, Step 2: Create a light fixture schedule. Review product data sheets in input W (wattage) for all fixtures. For some fixtures, W will be per foot, and will need to be summed and added to the total.

How to calculate LPD, Step 3: Calculate the total W for all the fixtures. Divide W / sf of the project. This number is your LPD, which can now be input into the DDx.
