C O N T E N T S 18 6 Federal Center Haywood Community South Building 1202 College Creative Shaped to Perform Arts Building The new home of the Seattle district Crafting Energy Solutions Conditioned by the mountain air and illuminated with ample daylight, the new home of Haywood Community College's Professional Arts program creates inviting, inspiring spaces for students to create one-of-a-kind works of art. The program, known as a leader in affordable arts education, includes business classes to help students learn how to make a living selling their works. Despite extended operating hours and the energy demands of the clay, wood, fibers and metal studios, the building meets energy reduction goals while improving the site's water quality and preserving as many trees as possible. Key strategies include passive heating and cooling, and solar thermal heating and cooling. 4 HIGH PERFORMING BUILDINGS Fa l l 2 0 1 4 headquarters of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers represents a transformation both for the occupants who work in it and for the high performing building industry. The building design, which centralizes shared spaces such as conference rooms in a daylit, landscaped atrium, has ushered a major shift from a "silo" office culture to one that encourages collaboration. The project is the result of a performanceoriented contract, a first for the U.S. General Services Administration and an emerging industry trend, which withheld a portion of the contract funds until it was verified that the first-year energy performance met the specified target. Integrated passive systems contribute to an annual energy use intensity of 33 kBtu/ft2.
