LIVING BUILDING CHALLENGE STUDIO
The Living Building Challenge Studio will explore sustainability scenarios in developing a building that meets the requirements of the Living Building Challenge. Formulated by Living Future Institute, The Living Building Challenge might be thought of as the next generation of LEED. Within the studio there will be a large emphasis placed on developing, understanding, and determining the efficiency of passive and active solutions to deal with the two most stringent requirements of LBC - Net Zero Energy and Net-Zero Water. The studio will work with the Cincinnati Zoo in determining their needs and desires through a collaborative process.

CONCEPT
In our conceptual design phase we considered aspects of the site including topography, water flow, circulation, and environmental factors.
21
MISSION
Our goal is to support the citizens of Avondale by providing a space for vocational education, fresh produce, and community events. The campus is also designed to compliment the goals of the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Gardens by pursuing the Living Building Challenge.
22
CONCEPT
GROWING
LEARNING
EATING
Provide on-site spaces to grow fruits and vegetables that will be used in the Zoo, cafe, market, and Avondale.
Supply a school where students and adults can learn about wildlife conservation, animal care, and culinary skills that can be applied in every day life.
Offer areas such as the cafe and market where information about nutrition and fresh produce is accessible and easily attained by community members.
23
24
PROGRAMMATIC FLOW
PASSIVE DESIGN
The campus plan focuses on growing, learning how to prepare, and eating produce from the greenhouse. The greenhouse gives onsite space to grow greens, vegetables, and microgreens; the school provides classrooms for vocational education such as wildlife conservation, animal care, and culinary preparation; and the cafe and market offer a way to bring fresh produce and knowledge about nutrition into daily habits. Together, these programmatic elements create a campus that educates users about sustainability and healthy habits.
Strategies such as building orientation, solar shading, and natural ventilation allow each building to optimize passive design. Maximizing solar gain, creating stack ventilation, and providing different means of sustainable energy reduces the EUI and creates a net zero campus. WESTERN WINTER WINDS PREDOMINANT SOUTHWEST WINDS SUN PATH
CONCEPT ACCESS & CIRCULATION
Circulation paths are driven by a need to bridge the zoo and the Avondale community. A direct entrance from each area joins at the top of the site to create a circular motion that connects the two communities. Secondary experiential paths are placed adjacent to both direct paths for leisure.

SITE PLAN The site plan depicts how our concept and strategies translate into form. Building forms wrap around the circulation paths and are situated at the center and highest point of the campus. A mix of hardscape and landscape terraces mitigate the steep slope from Avondale to the Zoo, creating an open and inviting experience leading up to the site.

Cucumbers are vine plants that required a lot of vertical height but can be spaced tightly in their frames at one foot apart. While each plant has a long growing period of 60 days, it will produce about 20 fruits. Due to its density, only ten frames are needed and each cucumber will supply four salads. Onions are grown in 25 stackable box frame structures over a 30 day period. The onions are tightly but comfortably spaced six inches apart on each frame. One bulb will supply three salads.
Although tomato plants require more space and time to grow, they produce more edible fruit per plant than other greens. It takes 60 days for a tomato plant to reach maturity and it is expected to get 40 tomatoes per plant. There are 30 frames dedicated to this plant and each fruit will supply three salads.
36
PRODUCE PRODUCTION INFORMATION
PROGRAM
Lettuce is a key component to any salad. In order to grow enough lettuce for 2,000 salads a day, it is grown hydroponically on large a frames in the upper greenhouse. Lettuce has a growth cycle of 30 days and each head will produce three salads.
Spinach is being grown as a supplement to the lettuce. Each head is spaced three inches apart on stacked frames. There are ten frames dedicated to growing spinach located in the lower greenhouse. One head will supply four salads.
Microgreens consist of young plants and sprouts harvested between 20 and 40 days of growth. They are often used as accents of spice and flavor. The microgreens are grown in the back of the lower greenhouse and depend on led lighting to mimic sunlight.

LIVING BUILDING CHALLENGE STRATEGIES
The Living Campus focuses on the energy and water petal of the Living Building Challenge. Being able to see how energy is produced and how water is treated reinforces the desire to teach users about the importance of sustainable practices.

MECHANICAL SITE PLAN
ENERGY AND WATER The water treatment system is designed with the topography of the site in order to reduce energy needs. All water used on campus is cleaned by bacteria, algae, and plants, then returned into the ground water table. This system mimics a natural process and creates a key learning experience for all users. Energy for the campus is supplied by solar energy. In accordance with the living building challenge, scale jumping was required in order to meet the campus energy needs. All solar panels are oriented south in order to optimize efficiency. An energy center is located under a dedicated solar field west of the greenhouse that provides learning opportunities for guests.

SEFAIRA ENERGY GRAPHS To achieve net positive energy for the greenhouse and school, solar panels were implemented on all of the roofs on site as well as three zoo buildings adjacent to the site. The square footage of solar panels required to achieve a net positive energy rating was determined from an energy modeling software, Sefaira. According to Sefaira the school and greenhouse required a total of 1,510,268 kbtu annually to operate. This translates to 89,129 square feet of solar panels working at 12% efficiency. Following the living building challenge standard, which calls for 105% net positive energy, there is a total of 93,581 square feet of solar panels on site that generating 1,585,781 kbtu annually.

WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM Initially filtered in the meditation garden, rainwater is then held in a retention tank underneath the pond at the top of the site. A small portion of this rainwater is used in toilets while the rest of the water is sent through a sand filtration system. This grey water is held in a clean water tank located in the greenhouse. Before use, water used for outdoor irrigation, sinks, and drinking fountains is further purified before use with ozone filtration. Water used inside the greenhouses for hydroponics is recycled weekly, allowing nutrients to be added and sediment to be removed. After use, all water goes through biosoil filtration located on the terraced topography north of the greenhouse. Here, naturally occurring bacteria and algae that live on the plants clean the water so that it is pure enough to be returned to the ground table.

LBC STRATEGIES WATER USAGE AND TREATMENT CALCULATIONS IRRIGATION CALCULATIONS: 25 gal per frame x 32 large frames = 800 gal per week 15 gal per frame x 64 small frames = 960 gal per week
*Greenhouse irrigation calculations were based on a weekly cycle.
1760 gal per week x 52 weeks = 91,520 gal per year
TOTAL GALLONS PER YEAR: 79,780 gal + 83,885 gal + 95,996 gal = 259,661 gal
TOTAL GALLONS RECYCLED EACH YEAR: 83,885 gal + 3,011 gal + 165 gal = 87,061 gal

TOTAL GALLONS NEEDED TO CAPTURE EACH YEAR:
ROOF CATCHMENT AREA:
