Integrating Financial Institutions into the “Integrated Design” process
Wednesday, November 7, 3:00-6:00 pm
“Integrated design” is now considered a necessary element for cost-effectively achieving high performance buildings. Despite the moniker, however, financial institutions remain segregated from these initial discussions and are brought in only after the process is largely completed. Relegating these institutions to the back-end of the design process can mean that projects are less sustainable than could otherwise be achieved, however. In this session, the architects and their financial institution partners explore how early and continued discussions helped ensure better design, better buildings, and better relationships. Panelists:
Dana Bourland, Green Communities
Susan King, Harley Ellis Devereaux & GreenWorks Studio
Mark Fick, Chicago Community Loan Fund
Kevin Pierce, Shaw Environmental
Joel Freehling, ShoreBank
Thomas Gentry, IIT School of Architecture
Dennis Fleming - Revival Funds
Lauren Yarmouth - YRG Sustainability Consultants
Moderator : Bill Reed, Integrative Design
Venue: Near North SRO
Green Municipal Renovation and Development Projects
Thursday, November 8 , 8:00-11:00 am
When Mayor Richard M. Daley declared his intention of making Chicago the “greenest city in the nation,” he first turned his attention to the City’s own municipal construction projects. This panel will examine the unique considerations of greening public buildings destined for long lives of heavy use. Case studies presented will include the 22nd District Police Station, a new construction, prototype facility seeking a Silver LEED NC Certification; the Household Chemical and Computer Recycling Center, a renovated and repurposed City incinerator seeking LEED NC Certification; and Engine Company #46, a vintage fire station included in the pilot of LEED EB.
Panelists: Rand Ekman, Project Architect (22nd District) – OWP/P
Susan King, AIA, LEED AP (HCCRC) – Harley Ellis Devereaux
Bill Sturm, Project Architect (EC #46) – Serena Sturm
Andrea Love – Department of General Services
