LINKEDIN MIDDLEFIELD CAMPUS CARBON ACTION PLAN | NET ZERO CARBON BUILDING DESIGN Project scope: carbon zero action plan, building life cycle carbon assessment, concept design, structural system analysis and selection, materials research, certification schemes recommendation, etc 2020.04-2021.06


PROJECT OVERVIEW

AS+GG was commissioned by LinkedIn to develop a Carbon Action Plan (CAP) on their newly designed office building loca Mountain View, CA. The goal of the project was to provide recommendations on whether, and if yes, how the building may lifecycle carbon neutrality across Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 2030, in alignment with LinkedIn’s corporate sustainability

The primary focuses of the CAP were placed on materials optimization (level 1 intervention as we called it in the CAP) and systems optimization (level 2 intervention). Major construction materials - structural steel, concrete, aluminum, and glass w studied to find the lowest embodied carbon products available on the market. Different structural systems were tested to co the differences in embodied carbon between steel frame, concrete frame, and wood & steel hybrid system. LCAs were perf on each of these options to compare and inform the best solution.

The CAP eventually led to a re-design commission in 2021, where building massing, orientation, facade design and MEP s were added to the study. Through close collaboration with structural and MEP consultants, the new design was able to offs operational carbon and all its upfront embodied carbon through onsite renewable energy within 9 years timeframe.

As a core member of the team, I was responsible for structuring the Carbon Action Plan, collaborating with structural engin concrete frame options, performing life cycle assessment on over 20 study options, and developing the life cycle carbon da for our new design.

BASELINE LIFE CYCLE CARBON ASSESSMENT USING ONECLICK LCA

A whole building life cycle carbon assessment was performed on the original design and the results were used as the reduc Material data were taken from the project’s specifications and quantities were taken from the Revit model. Operational data from the project’s LEED energy report. Oneclick LCA was used to perform the LCA.

Building Recommendations LCA results of all study options are listed here for compaison. CON02 with 100% blue planet aggregation (BPA) utilization was deemed as the preferred solution. If a wood mullion system is desirable, CON05 with maximum aggregate replacement can also achieve even greater carbon negativity. Conservative altitude was taken towards wood-steel hybrid options with concerns on the reliability of carbon accounting of timber materials. With all that in mind, carbon neutrality by 2030 is unlikely with the current design scheme, without the use of blue planet aggregation. However concrete frame CON02 would still be the most reliable and lowest carbon solution for the studied building.

PROJECT LIFE CYCLE CARBON DASHBOARD

The conclusion in the Carbon Action Plan ultimately led to a round of new design effort in 2021. The new design is a synthe optimized building shape and orientation for daylight and natural ventilation; maximized onsite PV generation; minimized em selection; and a combination of indoor and outdoor spaces that foster biophilic design.

To help the client better understand the new design scheme’s carbon impacts, I developed an interactive 3D dashboard thr Grasshopper. Semantic and PowerBi. The dashboard visualizes the total embodied carbon, annual operational carbon and design and allows users to select different study boundaries and to isolate building elements to see their respective carbon

AL WASL PLAZA, OFFICES AND HOTELS Project scope: construction site supervision, sustainability management and delivery (Sustainability goals and KPIs, LEED and CEEQUAL certifications) 2018.03-2020.03


PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Al Wasl complex is positioned at the center of the Expo 2020 Dubai Campus, and is composed of three office buildings, two hotels and a central public plaza covered by a 65m radius trellis shading structure. Being the symbol of the Dubai World Expo 2020 Event and later the center piece of the legacy mixed-used neighborhood, the project targeted LEED v4 Gold for all its five building components and CEEQUAL Excellent for both the plaza and the shading structure. Besides the green certifications, the project was also required to follow a set of campus wide sustainability KPIs.

ACHIEVEMENTS

The Al Wasl office buildings eventually achieved LEED PLATINUM CERTIFICATIONS, with LEED Gold level building budget.

The offices use 74-79% LESS ENERGY from the grid than typical Dubai office buildings.

The offices produce 118-119% OF THEIR OWN ELECTRICITY through photovoltaics.

The offices save a total of ALMOST 1,000 TONS OF CO2 annually.

The office buildings will use 73% LESS POTABLE WATER than a typical building.

The offices are THE FIRST buildings in Dubai to use 100% treated greywater, condensate and rainwater for toilet flushing.

Through materials selection EMBODIED CARBON WAS REDUCED BY 32%.

As the transportation, distribution and logistics industry (TDL) expands its footprint in Chicago, these facilities will be more commonly interfacing with residential, pedestrian-oriented neighborhoods. To ensure that future TDL facilities take measures that minimize the impact on nearby residents and include tangible public amenities and sustainability features while simultaneously allowing for efficient operations, DPD is proposing a new design guidelines for future TDL projects. Commissioned by DPD, a series of site plan re-design exercises were carried out following the draft guidelines to quantify the social and sustainable benefits of the guidelines.
