The university came to Collaborative Project Consulting for a plan to use “the entire campus as a living laboratory to develop and demonstrate sustainability best practices.” The Collaborative team started by gaining input from more than 100 stakeholders representing operations staff, faculty, undergraduate and graduate students, senior administrators, regional campus representatives and West Lafayette residents. Our process used web-based information management, in-person interviews, on-site workshops, data and policy analysis to organize the university planning effort and craft a comprehensive document. We helped the university navigate the specific interests of this rich community to find a common ground and shared vision for an environmentally progressive future. The resulting Purdue University Sustainability Strategic Plan contextualized sustainability within the campus's larger operations, selected metrics to track and report sustainability performance over time, and developed short- and long-term strategic goals. The plan is aligned with programs such as AASHE Stars and LEED, and it capitalizes on onsite natural resources – wind, biomass, stormwater, rainwater, food waste and animal waste – to reduce the university’s environmental impact and generate cost savings. In 2015, Purdue was recognized for its efforts as one of the greenest colleges in the U.S. by the Princeton Review. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5491f81de4b01a5cea379df9/1438726333799-36ZOTWYZJ7JXBCQHCZAI/perdue.jpg Sustainable Planning - Purdue University - West Lafayette, IN With nearly 40,000 students and a total economic output of more than $3.2 billion, Purdue University is practically a small town of its own.

Riverside - Riverside, CA Collaborative was chosen by the University of California, Riverside to craft an actionable Sustainability Plan outlining short term, intermediate, and long term campus goals. By performing an analysis of existing sustainability efforts, analyzing environmental performance data, and interfacing with the Chancellor's Committee in Sustainability (CCS)--comprised of broad range of staff, students, and faculty--Collaborative presented a comprehensive road map to sustainability achieving the goals established by the UC Policy on Sustainable Practice. To effectively implement the far-reaching goals of the report, the Plan was sectioned into nine complementary areas corresponding to major topics of concern, including built environment, energy and climate protection, water, site(s), transportation, recycling and waste management, procurement, food, and academics & research. In 2015, UC Riverside was recognized for its efforts as one of the greenest colleges in the U.S. by the Princeton Review. http://www.icollabor8.com/commercial daily 0.75 2019-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5491f81de4b01a5cea379df9/1423696402276-SUC88GNUYNOFIG6J966B/static1.squarespace.png Commercial - Empire Office Center - Burbank, CA LEED Gold Certification Project - new construction of a 360,000 square feet commercial office building Client - Higgins Development Partners The Empire Office Center is a 360,000 square foot, seven-story, Class A office building developed on a brownfield site, conserving natural space and farmland.

Fleet Science Center - San Diego, CA Client - Reuben H. Fleet Science Center Project - With a history of pioneering the modern science museum, the distinction of being the best-attended museum in San Diego, and a mission to “inspire lifelong learning by furthering the public understanding and enjoyment of science and technology,” pursuing LEED certification was an obvious choice for the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center. The project team relied on Collaborative to manage the LEED-Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance (O+M) process and achieve Silver Certification. Goals involved ongoing work that included IMAX Theater renovations, HVAC overhaul, systems replacement, and lighting retrofits. As a result of this project, the 93,505 square foot public museum has seen indoor water usage drop by 450,000 gallons a year, and the building has achieved a level of energy efficiency that is 38 percent better than the national average for similar buildings. The museum’s rooftop features a San Diego Gas & Electric-owned 10,000 square foot 100-kW solar panel system, which offsets the facility’s energy needs by approximately 15 percent – and provides locally generated renewable energy to Balboa Park. The LEED O+M process was especially challenging because the Fleet is a non-profit organization with very limited resources, and very few available staff hours to support the effort. Collaborative provided the support and expertise necessary to bring closure to a process that had been taxing their team's resources, and they were able to remain within the Center’s budget while doing so. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5491f81de4b01a5cea379df9/1432749221755-AFFHJ8UIFLUE835WGWKM/Fleet+Science+Center.jpg Existing Buildings - Reuben H.

The museum’s rooftop features a San Diego Gas & Electric-owned 10,000 square foot 100-kW solar panel system, which offsets the facility’s energy needs by approximately 15 percent – and provides locally generated renewable energy to Balboa Park. The LEED O+M process was especially challenging because the Fleet is a non-profit organization with very limited resources, and very few available staff hours to support the effort. Collaborative provided the support and expertise necessary to bring closure to a process that had been taxing their team's resources, and they were able to remain within the Center’s budget while doing so. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5491f81de4b01a5cea379df9/1433374018832-GDMEJT9DCBLSHXLCY49S/Bussan_EBOM_07_90A5296+EDITED.JPG Existing Buildings - Bussan Building - Tokyo, Japan Client - Bussan Fudousan Project - this 37,000sf commercial office in Tokyo successfully earned LEED E+B Platinum certification.

The LEED Platinum GLP Misato III is a state of the art logistics facility located in the Saitama Prefecture of Greater Tokyo, Japan. Comprised of more than 300,000 square feet, the 5-story warehouse design effectively utilized site space by including two loading ramps, allowing service vehicles to drive up to each floor. A comfortable work environment is paired with numerous practical site amenities, including backup generators, emergency sewage systems, showers and a cafeteria. For additional safety the property has seismic isolators that absorb 75% of all shock caused by earthquakes. The strategic international alliance of Collaborative Project Consulting, Quest Energy Group, and Woonerf, Inc. in Tokyo provided comprehensive sustainability consulting, energy analysis and LEED project management services. High performance lighting, high efficiency VRF units, and an 80kW PV system all helped to achieve a 48% savings over ASHRAE 90.1-2007 baseline.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5491f81de4b01a5cea379df9/1447297626146-BJN0OUKKFVYHB4NLH4E5/GLP+Misato+III.jpg Western Pacific Rim - GLP Misato III - Japan LEED Platinum Certification Project - new construction of a 300,000 square foot logistics facility.

Recognizing the potential this jewel offered, we kept the good bones of the house and introduced a new kitchen, bathrooms, and other finishes in a sensitive and thoughtful manner. Inspired by the architecture of A. Quincy Jones, Whitney Smith, and Edgardo Contini, the original post-and-beam construction, tongue-and-groove ceilings, stacked bond fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling glass remain intact. Drawing on our environmental design expertise, we provided a strong ecological sensibility to the project, with solar panels, an electric car charger, a rainwater collection system, zero VOC paints, and renewable materials like cork and Marmoleum floors throughout. Proper orientation, substantial roof insulation, efficient lighting/ HVAC/ appliances, and rooftop solar allow this project to perform at near net zero electricity for most of the year.
