[Bldg-sim] Small building that wants to get LEED Platinum

[Hopf, Johannes]

Think about micro-CHP in combination with absorption chiller, chilled
ceilings etc..

 

At my former position I worked to design a very energy efficient Mc Donald´s
branch. It uses geothermal energy for heating and cooling. It is located near
Bremen, Germany. (google Mc Donald´s, Achim, Germany, EE-tec – and then
translate) 

 

It was a hard fight, because the central regulations of McD USA didn´t allow
to use chilled ceilings, heat-pumps, PV, LED-lighting, new induction roasting
pans etc.

use vestibules for all doorways
I would suspect the internal heat load from baking bread is high so maybe put
the breadwarmer/baking appliance with heat recovery to preheat water or vent
air as well as heat recovery for ice making etc.
usually subway's have large windows so glass frame is important and reduce
water use!

location, location, location of subway is important and should be considered
in regards to walking & biking (if possible in that climate), bus routes both
public and private such as University shuttles and any local train/metros.

For platinum I would also encourage them to include a green purchasing policy
to include plastics, paper goods and such.
