Community Connectivity Encourages A Walkable Neighborhood
At least 10 community services, and high density residential areas are within ½ mile. Slide3
Bus Stops Are Nearby To Encourage Public Transportation
Route 11 & Route 69 are 2 locations where public busses pick up passengers, located within a 1/4 mile of the Dovetail Wind & Solar buildingSlide4
Encouraging Fuel-Efficient and Low-Emitting Vehicles Reduces Fossil Fuel Emissions
30% of the parking spots are reserved for low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehiclesSlide5
Bicycle
Rack and Showers Encourage
Reduced Car Usage
There is a bike rack located in the parking lotSlide6
An Existing Building Was
Reused
Reducing
New Resources Required For
Construction
Existing
structural elements
that have been reused
include:
Foundation Walls
Wood Frame Roof
Concrete Roof Deck
Concrete Block Exterior Walls
Basement SlabSlide7
No Smoking Within 25 Feet of Entrances
To prevent exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, no smoking
within 25 feet
of doors and
air intakes, keeps smoke and fossil fuel exhaust out of the office environment.Slide8
Heat Island Effect-Nonroof
The site hardscape
contains high reflective concrete materials.Slide9
Heat Island Effect-Roof
High albedo materials cover a minimum of 75% of the roof area with an
Solar Reflective Index
value of 78Slide10
Tour Stop 2:1st Floor; Conference Room
Conference room has 2 lighting controls.Slide11
LED Lighting Reduce Electrical
Light emitting diode (LED) bulbs are used throughout the office and use 1/10
th
the wattage of standard bulbs.Slide12
Low VOC Paint Was Used Throughout The Building
Low VOC paint helps keep the indoor air quality at a level which is safe and environmentally responsible.Slide13
Tour Stop 3:Inside The Office
Stand
in the middle of the roomSlide14
Lavatory Faucet uses a low flow aerator for very low water usage
The lavatory faucet uses .5
gpm
, which is very low compared to the 2.2
gpm
of conventional lavatory faucetsSlide15
Shower has a low-flow shower head
The shower uses
1.25
gpm
; much less than the 2.2
gpm
used by conventional shower headsSlide16
Water Efficient Landscaping
The landscaping is designed and constructed to limit the use of potable water by 50%. Using native plants that are drought resistant allow for less water to be used during warm monthsSlide17
Minimum Energy Performance
All LEED projects are required to show that there is a 5% increase in energy efficiency from the previous building.Slide18
Recycling Bins At Each Workstation Make It Easy To Recycle
Recycling at Dovetail
Solar
&
Wind
is
simple.
Within the city of Cincinnati, curbside recycling for small businesses is handled twice a month, utilizing city provided rolling
bins.Slide19
Fundamental Refrigerant Management
All LEED projects are required to use CFC free refrigerantsSlide20
Optimize Energy Performance
The overall energy performance for Dovetail
Solar
&
Wind
will be an approximate 46% improvement compared to the existing buildingSlide21
On-Site Renewable Energy
Solar electric shading panels
over
the southern windows
provide some
of the building’s
electricity; providing clean, efficient energy to use.Slide22
Bath Tissue And Paper Towels Are Made Of 100% Recycled Paper
They also don’t have
added chemicals that are hard to remove from the waste stream and
when they aren’t, they get
concentrated in fish, mammals, and plant life.Slide23
Green Cleaning Guidelines
Employees were trained to operate and
maintain
the office’s energy efficient systems and
green
cleaning policies
.Slide24
