To accomplish this, the energy consumption per square foot can be expressed as per average operational hour, and a climate factor could be applied to level a Monterey, Calif., building to a building in Gainesville, Fla. In the case of NRDC, the supporting physical infrastructure and energy required per occupant in a given climate is the leveling metric being developed for each location. Therefore: (average energy/person/hour) × (climate factor) = comparable metric organization. Therefore, if no history exists (as in the case of NRDC), it requires detailed and extended postoccupancy reporting to establish the equivalent of an energy payback and life-cycle cost analysis. Innovative Design The chronic underuse of enclosed or private office space is the norm in the United States (60% vacant) and, if anything, was even higher in the case of NRDC given its requirements for work in the field and the increasing ability to work remotely. The necessity for a private office for writing and analytical tasks has always been a given (don’t go there) in office planning for NRDC. However, Ashok Performing BuildingS 41 much does your building weigh?” In other words, what is the measurable net efficiency in relation to outcome? In this context, energy consumption needs to have a leveling factor that recognizes variations in utilization levels as well as The long-term sustainability benefits of design for disassembly also will vary depending on “churn rate,” or frequency of change within an Spring 2012 HigH
