MUELLER CONTEXT 4 MUELLER GREEN RESOURCES GUIDE v.2 CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION 5 CENTER FOR MAXIMUM POTENTIAL BUILDING SYSTEMS The Mueller Green Resources Guide is a reference document to support green building practices at Mueller. Green building incorporates healthy, environmentally sensitive, socially responsible, and cost-effective strategies into the design, construction and operation of buildings. Today, green buildings are recognized as good for the environment, for people, and for the bottom line. CLIMATE CHANGE WHY GREEN BUILDING? Over the last three decades, there has been heightened awareness about the effects buildings have on the environment and human health. Buildings on a national basis are responsible for: 30% of all energy use 17% of water use 40% of raw stone, gravel, sand and steel use 25% of virgin wood use IMAGE COURTESY OF CITY OF AUSTIN In addition, buildings generate about 30% of carbon dioxide emissions (a greenhouse gas associated with global warming) and 35% of municipal solid waste. Extracting, processing, and transporting TEN BASIC APPROACHES TO GREEN BUILDING these materials can disturb sensitive ecological systems, and result in particulate and chemical emissions that can pollute the air, land and 1) Select and develop sites to promote livable communities 2) Develop flexible designs to enhance building longevity water. Furthermore, because people spend about 90% of every day 3) Use natural strategies to protect and restore water resources indoors, it is essential that buildings have a healthy indoor environment. 4) Improve energy efficiency while ensuring thermal comfort 5) Reduce environmental impacts related to energy use By integrating climatic design principles with environmentally-sensitive 6) Promote occupant health and well-being in the indoor construction practices, healthy building materials, native landscaping, and environment energy- and water-efficient mechanical and plumbing equipment, green 7) Conserve water and consider water reuse systems 8) Use environmentally preferable building materials buildings have lower operating costs, higher return on investment and 9) Use appropriate plant materials appreciation, and enhanced occupant health and productivity. Based on 10) Plan for recycling during construction, demolition, and recent studies, green buildings on average have a first cost premium of occupancy about two percent, which is generally recouped from lower operating costs.

INTRODUCTION 6 MUELLER GREEN RESOURCES GUIDE v.2 Focus on CLIMATE CHANGE AUSTIN CLIMATE PROTECTION PLAN In February 2005, 141 countries adopted the Kyoto Protocol as a IN FEBRUARY 2007, AUSTIN MAYOR WILL WYNN response to climate change resulting from greenhouse gas emissions. ANNOUNCED THE AUSTIN CLIMATE PROTECTION PLAN, HIGHLIGHTING GOALS TO MAKE AUSTIN THE LEADING CITY IN THE U.S. IN REDUCING GREENHOUSE GASES. While the U.S. did not ratify the protocol, local governments, cities and organizations around the country have united to address the challenge. Included in the Austin Climate Protection Plan: Homes and Building Plan: The U.S. Mayor’s Climate Protection Agreement calls for the nation’s mayors to take • Make all new single-family homes zero net-energy leadership in creating policies and programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions capable by 2015. within their communities.

Urge state governments and the federal government to enact policies and level approximately 65% higher than homes built to the City of Austin Energy Code in effect in November programs to meet or beat the greenhouse gas emission reduction target suggested 2006. This enables these homes to achieve annual net for the United States in the Kyoto Protocol -- 7% reduction from 1990 levels by 2012; zero energy use with the provision of on-site energy and, generation. Because all homes in Austin will have to be built to this standard at point of sale in 2015, homes at Mueller can take the opportunity to build as close to 3.

As a result, Targets: Mueller will be actively exploring an array of Green Urbanism Strategies at the development scale. These include: • At a minimum, an amount of existing building area equal to that of new construction be renovated annually to meet a fossil fuel, greenhouse gas LEED Certified Green Buildings (GHG) emitting, energy consumption performance standard of 50% of the Energy Efficieny in Buildings regional (or country) average for that building type.

    Oral History Center University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Jim Chappell Directing the Resurgence of SPUR & Urban Planning in San Francisco Interviews conducted by Shanna Farrell and Todd Holmes in 2016 Copyright © 2017 by The Regents of the University of California Oral History Center, The Bancroft Library, University of California Berkeley ii Since 1954 the Oral History Center of the Bancroft Library, formerly the Regional Oral History Office, has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Jim Chappell dated November 7, 2016. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.

  • Celebrating 40 Years of the Loeb Fellowship Work Book
    CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF THE LOEB FELLOWSHIP WORK BOOK 1 The Loeb Alumni Council, on the occasion of our 40th Anniversary, wanted to find a way to permanently honor Bill Doebele for his lifetime contribution to Harvard, the GSD, and the Loeb Fellowship Program. Moreover, we wanted to acknowledge the contribution that the Fellowship made to each of our lives by making a substantial gift to the GSD in Bill’s name. We plan to endow the GSD’s Community Service Fellowship Program as it embodies the Loeb mantra of making a difference in local communities and creating a legacy of leadership for future generations. The ten week summer internships and traveling fellowships have immersed students in projects from Boston’s Chinatown to the neighborhoods of Detroit and with organizations from Urban Edge in Boston to NGOs building composting toilets in Nigeria. It is one of the most prestigious real world internship opportunities at the GSD and the students love it. They learn skill sets that will last them their entire careers. michael horst and laurie beckelman, co-chairs of the gift committee the william a. doebele fellowship for community design 2 letter from the dean Congratulations to all of those involved with the 40th Anniversary Reunion celebrations of this outstanding program. 3 Since its founding, through a generous gift by John L.

The Tidal Basin is located at latitude: 38.884593, longitude: -77.039208. The point represents the center of the Tidal Basin. It was obtained from Google Earth on January 2, 2018, and there is no restriction on its release to the public. Present Owner: National Park Service Present Occupant: National Park Service Present Use: Memorial and recreational landscape for public use Significance: The Tidal Basin and surrounding landscape are the result of an extensive Potomac River improvement project started by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the late nineteenth century to address the sedimentary flats that had been deposited in the river from the White House to the Long Bridge. As part of a large-scale effort to improve the river’s navigability, the Army Corps of Engineers intermittently dredged the waterway after the Civil War. More comprehensive plans were also developed, such as Maj. W.J. Twining’s 1879 proposal to create flushing basins equipped with automatic gates. Water from the Potomac River would fill the basins, which would then discharge into the Washington Channel.
