This panel will highlight two examples of innovative design processes resulting in cost-effective energy efficient solutions. Baldor Specialty Foods recently moved into a larger refrigerated warehouse with increased cooling load, but the energy use remained the same due to improvements in mechanical, lighting and building envelope system. In planning the new Maurice J. Gallagher Jr. Hall on the U.C. Davis campus, Sasaki, the A&E for the project, took a holistic approach to sustainability to develop a low-energy and low-water use office building and conference center. Leading the discussion is Bert Gregory, President and CEO of Mithun architects, who has led the firm to be nationally recognized for concept-based, environmentally intelligent design
This program qualifies for two professional development hours (PDHs) for Professional Engineers or two learning units (LUs) for Licensed Architects under sponsorship of New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) . To receive these credits, obtain the supplemental registration form at the meeting and submit to NYIT along with a $50 registration fee. Agenda

Abstracts
Baldor Specialty Foods Warehouse Facility
Lorey Flick, HBDP, LEED AP, ADS Engineers
Baldor Specialty Foods owns a refrigerated warehouse facility in Hunt’s Point. Fresh food is stored there awaiting delivery to thousands of customers throughout the New York City area. The company recently moved into a renovated space that is approximately 50% larger than their previous building. The new building also receives approximately 30% more food on an hourly basis, thus increasing the cooling load even more. The program for the new space included improvements to all mechanical, lighting, and building envelope systems for both the warehouse and office spaces, resulting in a savings of approximately two million kilowatt hours over the base design model.
This talk will focus on the company’s current operating costs as compared to their smaller facility and will ultimately demonstrate that including the facility manager in design decision-making, incremental improvements and optimized building operation and maintenance are key factors in reducing and maintaining lower operating costs.

Strachan Forgan, RIBA, LEED AP BD+C, Sasaki Associates
The University of California at Davis has just completed the new Graduate School of Management and Conference Center/Maurice J. Gallagher Jr. Hall (GSM)
The 82,000 gross square foot project includes a three-story office structure for the GSM and a two-story Conference Center that includes a restaurant, office space, meeting rooms, and a one-story ballroom. The project includes an underground geothermal water loop which provides a highly efficient heating and cooling system. Current energy models are predicting a 40% energy use savings beyond the State of California’s already stringent Title 24 requirements.
The presentation will focus on the cost benefits and energy efficiency of this system as well as the project implications of a using a ground-source heat pump/radiant slab system. It will also address the process of getting team acceptance to use new technologies and the applicability of these technologies in other markets. .
