"The Plano *** *** *** utilizes numerous sustainable design features to demonstrate and promote environmental responsibility through green building."
entire script:
Sustainable design is defined as the ability to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. The Plano Environmental Education Center utilizes numerous sustainable design features to demonstrate and promote environmental responsibility through green building.
Many green building features have been incorporated into the Plano Environmental Education Center, including recycled building materials. A lot of the materials used in the construction of the Center would have otherwise made their way to landfills.
Several of the structural elements of the building are recycled. Two examples of these materials are flyash concrete and recycled steel.
The concrete walls forming the shell of the Environmental Education Center are composed of flyash concrete. Flyash is a by-product of coal-fired electric generating plants. It is the fine residue resulting in the combustion of ground or powdered coal. Thirteen million tons of coal ash is produced in Texas each year. Only eleven percent of the available ash in Texas is used in concrete production – well below the national average.
Flyash can be substituted for approximately one-third of the Portland cement used in concrete manufacturing. In addition to offering environmental advantages by reducing landfill waste, flyash also improves the performance and quality of concrete. Flyash concrete is a mature technology and costs the same as non-flyash concrete to manufacture.
The structural support elements of the Plano Environmental Education Center feature recycled steel. Steel is the country’s most widely recycled material. Almost 100% of the steel used in commercial building construction is recycled at the end of its’ useful life. The magnetic properties of steel make it easy to separate from other building debris. It is also less expensive to recycle steel than to mine virgin ore. Today, two out of every three pounds of new steel are produced from old steel.
Many interior elements of the Center also utilize recycled materials. The terrazzo flooring
and carpet are two examples.
All of the terrazzo flooring in the Plano Environmental Education Center is made of recycled glass bottles, post-industrial glass, and epoxy resin. Over 40 billion glass bottles are made every year, and 75% of them are discarded in landfills. The use of this glass material in the building design not only saves landfill space, but also conserves natural resources such as marble. The use of glass from local recycling centers reduces the carbon impact from the transportation of these materials.
The use of crushed glass and a seamless solid surface create a floor that will last the life of the building with minimal maintenance. Recycled flooring such as this can be ground up and made into new flooring in the future if desired, extending its sustainability.
The carpeting used in the Center is made from recycled carpet and used plastic soda bottles. In addition to the reduction of landfill waste, using recycled soda bottles has the added benefits of improved stain resistance and toxin-free indoor air quality. Recycled carpet costs about the same as non-recycled carpet and is readily available.
Like many of the materials used in the building, the carpeting is also 100% recyclable. This is an important aspect of green building – to create structures that have minimal impact on the present and future environment.
Many of the green building practices implemented in the Plano Environmental Education Building are being tailored toward individual residential homes as well. To find more information about the sustainable design elements used in this building, pick up the brochures and flyers from the Center’s display racks, call Customer Service at 972-769-4150 or visit our website at www.livegreeninplano.com.
Part Two
Water is our most important natural resource; it is also one of our most delicate. Only 3% of the Earth’s water is freshwater, and only 1% of that is located in rivers and lakes, which is where most of North Texas gets it’s drinking water supply. Rivers and lakes are supplied with freshwater entirely through the natural watershed.
A watershed is a natural slope in land that directs rain and run-off into a body of water, such as a river or lake. A watershed can be as small as an acre, or up to millions of square miles. The Plano Environmental Education Center is located in a watershed, which flows into the Trinity River and ultimately into the Gulf of Mexico.
Urban development alters natural watersheds. Without proper environmental planning, the natural water cycle from rainfall and run-off to creeks and rivers can be interrupted. Hard surfaces such as buildings, parking lots and roadways don’t allow water to percolate through and soak into the soil. Instead, rainwater must be directed to the natural watershed by a system of storm drains and underground pipes. This, in turn increases erosion, stresses ecological systems, and makes floodwater damage worse.
A natural water cycle allows rainwater to be absorbed by the soil and drain slowly into the watershed. In their native state, creeks control the flow and direction of water through vegetation and natural formations. When urban planning alters these channels, the water is forced to accelerate downstream.
The Plano Environmental Education Center is located along a section of native creek. This riparian corridor provides habitat to a variety of species. The native vegetation also provides the creek with a natural defense against erosion. The Center has several features that are designed to minimize the impact on the surrounding watershed.
The walkways and parking areas at the Center are made of pervious materials such as pavestone, gravel, grass, and decomposed granite that allow water to be absorbed directly into the soil. The roof of the Center is designed with a rainwater harvesting system that captures this water source for use in landscape irrigation. By limiting the run-off of rainwater, the Center is able to minimize its’ impact on the adjacent creek.
When rainwater enters the urban storm drain system, it is directed into creeks and rivers without any wastewater treatment. This means any contaminants such as pesticides, household chemicals, and automotive fluids that are disposed of improperly make their way into the watershed. Even in low concentrations, these chemicals are extremely toxic to fish and other native wildlife. These contaminants are also hazardous to humans as well. The rainwater that you see flowing into a storm drain or creek may be the same water you eventually see coming from your kitchen sink after treatment of course! We must protect this vital resource.
In addition to protecting our water supply, it is also important to conserve water every day in every way. The Plano Environmental Education Center is designed to limit the consumption of water on-site.
In addition to rainwater harvesting, the center uses a grey water reclamation system, which directs all non-hazardous grey water for use in landscaping. All restroom fixtures are also equipped with flow sensors and limiters to control the amount of water usage. The use of compost, mulch and native plants in the landscaping at the Center was also designed for low maintenance and minimal water requirements.
Water is a limited resource. How we choose to use it – protect or pollute, conserve or waste – will determine how much water is viable for supporting life. As the population continues to grow in North Texas, it is more important than ever for each of us to treasure every precious drop.
