Update from Integrated Design Meeting (9/15/15) • Ken DiNisco updated the PBC on the status of the Integrated Design Meeting. • Integrated Design group is reviewing Lexington's current sustainable design policy with a focus on optimized energy performance and resiliency. The goals being (i) new construction - 30% better per energy performance than code requires; and (ii) renovation - 20% better per energy performance than code requires. • Ken stated that any new building they design will have the necessary structural capacity to support solar panels, but the panels or system may or may not be part of the project. • DiNisco indicated that daylighting strategies are at odds with other current, design parameters that encourage deeper classrooms that minimize exterior wall area as compared with their historical predecessors hence making it difficult to earn LEED daylighting points. • LEED checklist will be used but not all items on that checklist will be a requirement. A cost benefit analysis will be performed as part of the process. PBC Meeting 100115 Page 1
