The USGBC Massachusetts Chapter is a membership-based community advocating for green buildings at the state

and local level. The USGBC MA Chapter provides green building education, networking, advocacy, and leadership opportunities for the sustainable building practitioner community and beyond. Our events and programming are supported and enhanced by the volunteer efforts of our community members.

Over 600 people participate as members & active volunteers, and over 15,000 people subscribe to our various communication lists. Through our many committees, we address all aspects of the greening of the real estate sector: planning, design & engineering, construction, management & operation, and beyond. We help all practitioners by promoting market transformation.

The Facility Guidelines Institute is the publisher of the Guidelines for Design and Construction documents, the most widely recognized guidance for planning, designing, and constructing hospitals,

outpatient facilities, and residential health, care, and support facilities. FGI partners with numerous organizations to develop the consensus-based Guidelines and other practical, evidence-informed publications.

The Institute for Human Centered Design, formerly know as Adaptive Environments (AE), was founded in 1978 by Elaine Ostroff and

Cora Beth Able, an outgrowth of the Arts and Human Services Project, a multi-disciplinary graduate program supported by the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. The graduate program emphasized the leadership role of artists and designers in

creating community-based programs for people with disabilities. The design emphasis coincided with the deinstitutionalization movement of the late 1970s in which people with disabilities, many of them children, were moving from institutions into communities. Schools, libraries, entertainment and recreation places, public space, even homes were not designed to accommodate this new level of community diversity. The Institute for Human Centered Design began with a focus on helping families and communities solve practical problems of the design of places. It engaged designers in the work and taught design students the power of design to shape social equity.

CSI Boston is one of the 140+ chapters that make up the Construction Specifications Institute.

CSI is a national association dedicated to improving the documentation, management and communication of building information as used by the construction community.

CSI accomplishes its mission through the development of construction standards and formats such as MasterFormat and UniFormat; the promulgation of those formats through master guide specifications and building information management (BIM) software; training and certification programs, including the Construction Documents Technology (CDT) and Certified Construction Contract Administrator (CCCA) exams; publication of Construction Specifier magazine; and an ever-expanding membership of decision-makers who identify and specify building product solutions. CSI members include a cross-section of specifiers, architects, contractors, suppliers and other construction project professionals who are touched by construction documentation.

T11 LU/HSW | Acoustics TrackNoise & Acoustics: What’s New in the 2018 FGI GuidelinesThe 2018 FGI Guidelines for Design and Construction documents are scheduled for publication in November 2017. The new edition includes substantial improve-ments to sections addressing noise, acoustics, and vi-bration. Acoustics guidelines and recommendations in the Guidelines documents have evolved over the past 12 years in response to health care industry needs, in-cluding privacy requirements (HIPAA), patient comfort (CMS’s Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems surveys), and rising noise levels across the health care industry (e.g., alarm fatigue and the Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals). The 2018 Guidelines documents will provide compre-hensive and correlated noise and acoustics criteria adapted specifically for residential care, outpatient facilities, and hospitals.

T12 LU | Building Materials TrackDigitally Manufactured Concrete Formwork: A Case Study at The Cleveland Museum of ArtThrough the lens of a specific project, the presentation will explore the possibilities of digital fabrication of concrete formwork, the associated design and docu-mentation process, and the lessons learned from the construction process.Beginning with an introduction of concepts and capabilities, the case study will focus on the applications of custom concrete formwork fab-ricated using CNC technology. The course will cover the creation of design processes and efficient docu-mentation procedures to facilitate the integration of digitally manufactured formwork into your projects. You will also learn to write effective specifications, about typical construction administration issues that may arise, and how to manage those issues in the field.The presentation will use a case study to illustrate the complete process. At the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Maintenance Building forms a visual buffer from the sculpture garden and restaurant and the service loading docks. Undulating concrete forms were used to strengthen the building’s relationship with the broader landscape context. Sasaki Associates engaged CW Keller +Associates early in the design process to maxi-mize the potential of the design within the budgetary constraints. Sasaki and CWKA worked collaboratively throughout the design process, and CWKA was ulti-mately awarded the contract to fabricate the concrete formwork for the building.

T13 LU/HSW | Medical TrackClinical Technology and Patient Safety Meets DesignPatient safety must be on the forefront of every health-care design, yet it can take a back seat to patient ex-perience. As we continue to experience preventable deaths and errors in the healthcare system, it is im-portant to understand how design elements can re-duce errors. The development of stop gaps and forcing function design characteristics can prevent care givers from doing the wrong thing. The hallmark of patient safety is the creation of interactive, transparent sys-tems that communicate clearly and reliably. Develop-ing a reliable method and tool to reduce risk and harm in the predesign phase is the first step. This session will demonstrate lessons learned around developing a safety risk assessment process and tool in designing the New Patient Pavilion at Penn Medicine. In addition, the Burwood group will review how new technology can be applied to streamline flow, improve operations and enhance communication.

T14 LU/HSW | Energy Performance TrackEnergy Savings And Regulatory Compliance: New OptionsThe air distribution systems in today’s hospitals and medical laboratories play a critical role in providing effective ventilation and meeting strict regulatory compliance. Ensuring their proper functioning is also a central source for energy savings and the reduced operational costs that follow. In the past few years, in-novations in duct sealing technology and HVAC system performance have opened new doors of opportunity for healthcare engineers looking to repair or upgrade existing duct systems, meet regulatory compliance and save on operational costs. This presentation will look at the implementation of these new technologies by several major medical facilities to safely and success-fully complete HVAC system renovation projects that were previously considered logistically and economi-cally unviable. Examples include the renovation of an existing medical facility (Arnot Ogden Medical Center), upgrades to a hospital pharmacy (Condell Medical Cen-ter), and the ventilation repair at a newly constructed medical complex (Arzanah Medical Facility). In each case, technological innovations and critical procedural strategies proved to be a game-changer for hospital administrators looking to solve persistent ventilation issues and significantly reduce energy costs.

T16 LU/HSW | Planning + Design TrackDay One Operational ReadinessIn today’s ever evolving Healthcare marketplace, plan-ning for the start-up, commissioning and occupancy of a new capital project is a daunting challenge. The com-plexities of programming, design and construction in-volve dozens of independent entities and a multitude of regulatory authorities and their accompanying codes and requirements. The intense focus and efforts required to construct the facility often result in an in-advertent overlooking of the planning and training to ensure that the facility and its staff are operationally ready to assume the immense responsibilities to run the facility as conceived.Proper operational readiness is critical to ensuring an institutions return on invest-ment. High performing buildings involve complex en-gineering and symbiotic relationships amongst the major building systems and occupant work patterns. Often the building engineers are inadequately involved in the design process, and only minimally trained prior to assuming control of these systems. Too often, the default is to override control systems to respond to

complaints or perceived inefficiencies. In additions, most large capital projects involve multiple horizontal or vertical connections to existing facilities, or rely on existing plant equipment to serve the new space. Our challenge as an industry is to better account for these complexities and to look to the future and provide the tools and education necessary to develop a technically proficient workforce.

T17 LU/HSW | Codes + Regulations TrackStretch Code Updates and How to Use Them as an AdvantageThe MA building energy code (and associated Stretch Code) are changing with the continuously updating ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1. These changes, as al-ways, will impact all new construction and major reno-vation projects which are pursuing code compliance, energy efficiency programs incentives, and rating sys-tem certifications. We will review the most significant changes to the energy modeling protocols as they re-late to Stretch Code, LEED, and other related programs. More specifically, we will track changes to the Appendix G: Performance Rating Method (PRM) that is commonly used in assessing building energy performance. In ad-dition to the usual, technical updates; Standard 90.1 - 2013 includes an alternate methodology (addendum bm) that paves the way for an entirely new approach to the ever-changing Baseline energy model. This meth-odology is a preview of the proposed 2016 version of the Standard that has the potential to drastically sim-plify the Baselines that all buildings are compared to. The simplification could have impacts to everything from tracking Architecture 2030 objectives to smooth-ing future energy code transitions. Adopting the op-tional energy modeling methodologies presented in addendum bm early has the potential to set firms up for early transitions to increasingly stringent energy targets and bench-marking activities.

10:00 - 11:30 AMT20 LU/HSW | Planning + Design TrackSterile Processing Department Design and HVAC ConsiderationsToday, health care organizations are challenged to meet conflicting and sometimes unclear HVAC stan-dards and guidelines established by multiple profes-sional organizations, including ASHRAE, ASHE, AAMI, APIC, AORN, and FGI. The biggest challenge for owners and designers is to understand the purpose and scope of the various requirements. While some standards are written to be applied during design and renovation of a facility, others are intended as daily clinical practice guidelines. The lack of understanding of the differ-ent purposes of these two standard types has led to much confusion and conflict in the industry.The built environments of perioperative services are among the most sophisticated and interrelated in health care. Even experienced architects and engineers need input from point of service providers—especially periopera-tive nurses and infection preventionists—to inform the design process. The draft 2018 Guidelines provides expanded guidance for designing these critical areas to support and encourage clinical personnel to com-ply with professional practice guidelines for cleaning, decontaminating, and sterilizing surgical instruments. This presentation addresses the HVAC standards as well as the revised sterile processing room require-ments, including a change to require two rooms (de-contamination and clean) to support a one-way traffic flow from contaminated to clean.

T27 LU/HSW | Well-being + Design TrackFitWelHealth and wellbeing as an outcome of the built envi-ronment have become a major focus across all market sectors. Between 2015 and 2016, two standards were released to help provide guidance to designers to help usher in greater health in the built environment. The first was Delos’ WELL Building Standard, which looked and operated much like a hybrid rating system of LEEDv4 and the Living Building Challenge. At the same time, the Center for Active Design, a New York City based non-profit, was developing a simpler, more cost effec-tive option to WELL: Fitwel. Fitwel is a new standard, which will be ready for release to a general audience in early 2017, which like WELL, marries evidence based approaches for health and wellbeing with design strate-gies to help designers and building owners realize these impacts in the built environment. Come learn about this new standard and alternative to WELL, as well as to see where Fitwel fits into a spectrum of possibility for health, wellbeing, and sustainability.

T36 LU/HSW | Planning + Design TrackCognitive Architecture: Neuroscience Informing DesignThis session reviews recent findings in cognitive science including looking at tools used to gather biometric data which can help us ‘see’ how people subconsciously take in their surroundings. It explains that one cannot pre-dict or explain human behavior in and around buildings without considering subconscious behavior and our evo-lutionary past. Our subconscious responses to edges, patterns - particularly faces - and shapes will be consid-ered along with how these findings can promote better healthier building design.

Maximizing Energy Efficiency & Generation with the Integration of Spray Polyurethane Foam Roofing & Photovoltaics Systems on Educational FacilitiesEnergy solutions have become of para-mount importance in the built environ-ment, and this is also true for educa-tional facilities. Important drivers for energy solutions are the burgeoning Zero Net Energy movement, increas-ingly stringent building codes and the general move toward reducing the fos-sil fuel consumption associated with heating and cooling demand in build-ings. High performance materials to help accomplish energy goals in educa-tion facilities are readily available and

the roof of the structure is a key focal point. Spray Polyurethane Foam Roof-ing provides exceptional protective capabilities and energy efficiency per-formance. When you marry the mate-rial with energy generating Photovolta-ics, the combined solution provides an optimal solution for schools, colleges, and other similar facilities. This session will explore how best to join the two systems and delve into key consider-ations for optimizing performance.

W21 LU/HSW | Planning + Design TrackHow Humans Internalize and Express ArchitectureThe goal of this presentation is to understand how hu-mans internalize their architectural work environment and how they physically reveal that experience. The presentation will first explain the neurology of how sen-sory information is received through the eyes, ears, and nose for the academic benefit of the architect. We will examine the use of biophilic elements applied in archi-tecture design. Architectural elements in this presenta-tion will focus on windows, walls, floors, ceilings and lighting. Furthermore it will discuss color and sound.

This presentation will attempt to explain the neurologi-cal effects when exposed to these specific biophilic and other architectural elements. With this information, we will consider the study of the physiological effects mea-sured by tracking the occupant’s galvanic skin response (GSR), heart rate, blood pressure and both cognitive and psychological questionnaire responses. Under-standing of this biophilic connection supported with the physiological and psychological human responses to stress can lead to valuable evidence-based design re-search. This presentation will discuss how the research team plans to conduct and collect data through quali-tative methods of subjective questionnaires, as well as perform physiological data tracking. The presentation will also suggest ways to initiate collaborative research with other interdisciplinary fields.

W24 LU/HSW | Energy Performance TrackHuman-Centric Lighting - What Does it Mean and How do We Provide it in Practice?Human-centric lighting is lighting devoted to enhanc-ing vision, well-being and performance individually or in some combination. As such, human-centric lighting must consider the effects of light exposure on both visual and non-visual aspects of human physiology in a lighting design - and lighting design is increasingly called upon to support circadian, or non-visual, needs for users across societal segments. Home or hospital, office or classroom, recognition that disruption of 24hr rhythms can impact mood, alertness and performance presents new challenges to development and deploy-ment of lighting systems. The awareness and scientific evidence that people need the right light at the right time for the health and well-being has grown consid-erably in recent years. As such human-centric lighting starts to play an essential role in creating environ-ments that look beyond illumination. This presenta-tion will look at the broad umbrella of human-centric lighting, explain circadian light, show examples of ap-plication techniques, and look at the tools and tech-nologies available to support both.

4:00 - 5:30 PMW41 LU/HSW | Energy Performance TrackDesigning for Net Positive Water and EnergyNet positive energy is a key component in the battle against climate change. Buildings emit nearly 50% of carbon emissions, and architects can play a leader-ship role in moving beyond incremental reductions to regenerative design now. Net positive water design is more nuanced. Institutions of higher learning can pro-vide thought leadership by advocating for global water awareness, even if water is plentiful on a local level. Regulatory agencies are not prepared for the conver-sation, but in some cases are helpful in moving dem-onstration projects forward. In this session, you’ll hear from architects who are designing net positive energy and net zero water systems for a 16,000 sf, two-story campus building. Topics explored: - Performance goals and philosophy behind net positive design - Design con-cept and construction details behind energy systems - All aspects of water systems, including rainwater collec-

tion, filtration, composting, grey water treatment, and storm water management - The regulatory and permit-ting processes.

W43 LU/HSW | Case Study TrackComprehensive Analysis of Accessibility Compliance as a Tool for Diversity and Inclusion in Higher Education: A Case StudyThe ‘new normal’ includes a higher proportion of atypical students who may be older, international stu-dents or immigrants, veterans, have families, and are more likely to pursue an education that is a hybrid of traditional live classes and distance learning. At the same time, the prevalence and profile of disability in college and university communities is changing. Staff and faculty have a higher proportion of people over 55 and students with disabilities are predominantly pre-senting - whether disclosing a disability or not - with brain-based conditions or chronic health conditions. “Just tell me what I have to do” isn’t enough. Fletcher will use a case study of a comprehensive consultation in Atlanta to illustrate how to: •Understand current expectations for public and pri-

vate entities under ADA, Fair Housing, and state ac-cessibility codes.

•Understand the value of considering compliance as a floor and committing to enhanced usability and inclusive design to improve performance and well-being for everyone.

•Learn to unravel the distinct challenges of evaluating “program accessibility” as the means to prioritizing facility renovations.

•Appreciate the multiple strategies that make sense for evaluating accessibility for the out of doors.

•Learn to assess how to plan for building organizational capacity that will support reliable performance after the consultation is completed.
