The reduction in energy use anticipated for this building is equivalent to powering 78 homes for one year, and a CO2 emissions avoidance that is equal to planting 13,117 trees.<\/li>\n<li>The Aquatic and Tennis construction team diverted 3,400,000 lbs. of construction waste from landfills. This diversion accounted for 90% of the total weight of construction waste generated by the project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Achieving LEED Gold<\/h2>\n<h3>Sustainable Site Design<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Dedication of 216,94 square feet (4.9 acres) of permanent open space<\/li>\n<li>Bike racks, lockers, and showers to encourage arrival by bike.<\/li>\n<li>Located within 1\/2 mile of numerous community amenities.<\/li>\n<li>The Aquatic and Tennis Center also includes several showers and changing facilities for staff, visitors, and students. These facilities encourage the continued use of alternative transportation methods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Water Efficiency<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Selection of native and climate-adapted plants and efficient irrigation systems are expected to reduce water use by 59% of the water use compared to standard practices.<\/li>\n<li>40% reduction in interior water use for the building is achieved via low flow plumbing fixtures<\/li>\n<li>Water used for landscaping irrigation is non-potable treated water provided by the City of Flagstaff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Energy and Atmosphere<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Designed to save as much as 41% in annual energy consumption and 35% in energy costs ($169,800 per year).<\/li>\n<li>Efficient interior and exterior lighting and controls.<\/li>\n<li>Swimming pool dehumidification units recover heat for reuse throughout the interior spaces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Materials and Resources<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>90% of construction waste associated with this project was diverted from landfills<\/li>\n<li>22% of materials (by cost) used in the building were created from recycled materials<\/li>\n<li>22% of materials (by cost) of materials used in the building were manufactured and extracted from within 500 miles of the project site.<\/li>\n<li>80% of wood materials used in the construction of the building is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council<\/li>\n<li>Lighting is provided within the building by low-mercury fluorescents, HID lamps, and no mercury LED lamps. This reduces the negative environmental impact associated with the use of mercury in the manufacturing and disposal processes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Indoor Environmental Quality<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Green cleaning practices and purchasing habitats are utilized by the building and NAU to protect indoor air quality.<\/li>\n<li>Adhesives, sealants, paints, and coatings contain zero or very low VOC (volatile organic compounds), improving the indoor environment and contributing to increased emissions avoidance.<\/li>\n<li>The contractor followed LEED requirements to protect indoor air quality during construction and prior to occupancy.<\/li>\n<li>Individual workstation lighting controls, dimmers, and task lighting is installed in all occupied rooms to promote productivity and comfort of building users.<\/li>\n<li>The building design includes high-efficiency air filtration to trap dust and allergens and walk-off systems at building entrances to prevent pollutants from entering the building interior.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- shortcode-right-column -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-right-column\" >\n    <div class=\"shortcode-right-column__container\"><!-- shortcode-block -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-block\">\n      <div class=\"block-header\">\n        <h3>Request Forms<\/h3>\n    <\/div>\n          <div class=\"block-body\">\n      <div><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nau.webtma.com\/Login\/Validate\/?tkn=Aeju3t0dQ-mIYljyqm6CeQQXJCThV4xUHiphb0sGXRPAqxggVPswNipqXXeQInaZK8l5rOJjNTbcP3TFbKQwD25s9owDsXBy78NqFuJvNLrjGA01rgvTCMxbQavPUQNu03qq1XbIQp1v7q062JnP0InwwlNs1xAP6wYHVdjiY_FcW3lSljC35v0FyXkUctotWDxV9M53JhjO62KQCvRbc9pq3FMh5qCnw3JwroJZDmPXDVKOSywvq_CIHFsgSdclru42zuKJMMm38OD3HAI6hQ\">Work Request<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cas.nau.edu\/cas\/login?service=https%3a%2f%2fonbase.nau.edu%2fappnet%2fUnityForm.aspx%3fd1%3dASqhebEjsgzFu3LYBRs6u6qgL6czn4wpH96VpSwGQkiCaL3%252FIGU4UYZs8qzTu6LfOT5PwLLBgLluL02JHAlL1%252FVKG%252B%252B6hjkYM3%252BGn%252FzQ4dnSvDahQ4gcvFAabL3yXRnsIy835BvU4uGnEfnuYfgT%252BdoDUrRpuf7bDNz93xofckdNwrJinZByfb%252BEdm%252BalZTUjEDWDUPtxXgNPi8oKBEVkDk%253D\">Project Initiation<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n          <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- shortcode-block -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-block\">\n      <div class=\"block-header\">\n        <h3>Quick Links<\/h3>\n    <\/div>\n          <div class=\"block-body\">\n      <div><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"For Faculty, Staff and Building Managers\" href=\"http:\/\/in.nau.edu\/facility-services\/fac_staff\/\">For Faculty, Staff &amp; Building Managers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Design Professionals &amp;amp; Contractors\" href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/facility-services\/dp-contract\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">For Design Professionals &amp; Contractors<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Bids and RFQ's\" href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/facility-services\/bids-rfq\/\">Bids &amp; RFQs<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Insurance &amp;amp; Claims Services\" href=\"https:\/\/nau.edu\/insurance-claims-services\/\">Insurance &amp; Claims Services<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Office of the Fire Marshal\" href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/environmental-health-and-safety\/safety-programs\/office-of-the-fire-marshal\/\">Office of the Fire Marshal<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Current Construction\" href=\"https:\/\/nau.edu\/Facility-Services\/Planning\/Design---Construction\/\">Design &amp; Construction<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/facility-services\/snow-information\/\">Snow Information<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/facility-services\/annual-reports\/\">Annual Reports<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n          <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aquatic and Tennis Complex The Aquatic and Tennis Complex includes a competition swimming and diving facility, team support spaces, locker rooms, spectator seating, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, and an outdoor sports field.
