HARVARD FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES ‐ SCHREIBER LABDEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY AND CHEMICAL BIOLOGYENERGY EFFICIENCYThe Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) has committed, along with Harvard University as a whole, to reduce greenhousegas emissions 30% below 2006 levels by 2016, inclusive of growth. Therefore energy efficiency was a main goal of thisrenovation project.MECHANICAL SYSTEMSELECTRICAL SYSTEMSAn existing 100% outside air, variable volume air handling unit(AHU) provides fresh air to new variable volume terminal boxesand fan coil units (FCUs) in each of the four renovated spaces,allowing each space to be controlled independently.Plug Loads: Energy Star equipment was selected forall equipment in the space, which includes computersand printers.Occupancy and Temperature Sensors: For each roomwithin the project boundary, occupancy sensors tied to thebuilding’s control system modulate the supply air and maintaintemperature set-points allowing both to be set back wheneverspaces are unoccupied. The type of space and the activitiescarried out within it dictate the appropriate occupied andunoccupied set-points for temperature and ventilation.Light Fixtures:Energy-efficient and low-mercuryfluorescent lighting fixtures and lamps were carefullychosen and strategically located within each space toreduce electricity consumption while maintainingadequate lighting levels for each type of space.High Performance Fume Hoods installed as part of theproject include Variable Air Volume (VAV) fume hoods, whichrun at face velocity of 80 feet per minute instead of 100 feet perminute, thus reducing air flow by 20% and conserving theenergy that would have been required to condition the air.Lighting controls: Each space has overhead lightingcontrolled by multiple switches/zones and each deskhas either under-counter task lights or desk lamps formultiple lighting levels based on different needs. Theproject’s lighting design allows 91% of the occupants toadjust the lighting to suit their individual preferences,which not only increases occupant productivity andcomfort, but also decreases energy use.Real-time displays: Hood exhaust rates are displayed in realtime, reminding occupants to keep hood sashes closed whennot in use. "Shut the Sash”: A competition between labsaimed at reducing the extreme energy consumption due toopen fume hoods.Light Sensors The two offices and the area above thestudent workstations have occupancy and daylightsensors that turn ceiling fixtures on and off based onthe presence of people and the levels of natural light,respectively.Commissioning: The mechanical and electrical systems havebeen fully commissioned by a third-party CommissioningAuthority, which ensured that all energy-related systems wereinstalled as designed, and operating efficiently prior tooccupancy.Renewable Energy: Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)have been purchased from Sterling Planet (wind power)equivalent to 100% of the anticipated electricity over two years.Task Lights at each desk in the Admin OfficePhoto: Ellenzweig. 2009Real Time DisplayPhoto: Jessica Parks.Harvard Office for Sustainability, 20094Please print this project profile only if necessary.If printing is required, please print double sided and recycle when finished.

HARVARD FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES ‐ SCHREIBER LABDEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY AND CHEMICAL BIOLOGYINDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITYFAS is committed to providing a healthy indoor environment for all occupants. The project team was careful to maintainhealthy indoor air quality during construction and to also ensure the space is designed to promote healthy indoor airquality during occupancy.Indoor Air Quality During Construction: The building maintained occupancy throughoutconstruction. Thus, a comprehensive indoor air quality management plan was implementedduring construction to maintain healthy indoor air quality. All grills and vents were sealedand a HEPA Filtration unit maintained negative pressure to keep any construction debrisfrom migrating into occupied spaces.Thermal Comfort Survey: Occupants will be surveyed about their thermal comfort onceper season. The Operations team will adjust the heating or cooling in the project space asneeded.Construction IAQMeasures ImplementedDuring ConstructionPhotos: Harvard Office for Sustainability. 2008Pathway Interruption:Isolated work areasOnly Materials with Low or No VOC Content were used in the Schreiber Lab project.Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are chemical compounds and known carcinogensfound in many construction materials that are considered detrimental to indoor air quality.Reducing the use of VOCs whenever possible improves indoor air quality and consequentlyoccupant health and productivity.Composite Wood and Laminate Adhesives used in the renovation do not have any added UreaFormaldehydeCarpet System Karastan Contract - Quillen MacCarthy Broadloom (Carpet and Rug Institute’s GreenLabel Plus) with NU Broadlok Premium Plus Carpet Adhesive (SCAQMD Rule #1168)Adhesives and Sealants and Paints and Coatings Examples of the products used:ProductCategoryPaints &CoatingsAdhesives&SealantsVOCVOCContent (g/l) Limit (g/l)Product & ManufacturerStandardEco Spec Latex Flat, Benjamin Moore050Green Seal GS-11Eco Spec Interior Latex Eggshell Enamel,Benjamin Moore0150Green Seal GS-11Fresh Start All Purpose Primer, Benjamin Moore49.5200SCAQMD Rule #1113DP 1010 Water Based Duct Sealant 30250SCAQMD Rule #1168Dow Corning 732 Multi-purpose sealant36250SCAQMD Rule #1168HVAC Protection:Duct equipment sealed with filterGreen Housekeeping:Schreiber Labparticipates in Harvard’s Facilities andMaintenance Operations (FMO) Green CleaningProgram, which uses 100% recycled paperproducts and Green Seal certified cleaningsolutions, among other green housekeepingpractices.Daylight and Views: In 96% of the regularlyoccupied spaces occupants have direct line ofsight to the outside.Schreiber LabPhoto: Jessica Eisenman Parks.
