My specific focus of study is on sustainable and environmental design. Incorporating these principles into designs one-by-one have helped me to experiment and learn the principles over the course of my study.

These symbols mark a specific study on that type of passive or environmentally conscious design.

Cosmetic Surgery Facility A cosmetic surgery facility of 10,000 ft2 was requested to be designed for use in Las Vegas, NV on a predetermined site near the intersection of 4th St. and Las Vegas Blvd. A Master Plan was requested that would encompass three large lots capable of hosting multiple buildings, apartment complexes and an urban park.

SCALE 1:200

Generic concrete produces one ton of CO2 emissions for every ton of concrete produced. This carbon sequestering concrete absorbs half a ton of CO2 for every ton of concrete produced. Using the company of Calera in Los Gatos, CA also ensures a locally made product.

Buffalo grass is a drought tolerant species of grass that can survive on only 10 inches of rain each year. Las Vegas generally receives 4 inches of rain annually. In order to add green space to the park, this small piece of land would have grass and provide a play area for family activities.

Green Technologies like this one shown here, WindyLight, would showcase possibilities of what green technology can be. The WindyLight project uses pinwheel like devices to power LEDs that in turn light the pinwheels. This self-sufficient technology will be one of the first showcased in the park.

This red gravel is already in use in many of the areas and islands surrounding the park. It provides ground cover without contributind directly to the Heat Island Effect and is a naturally derived product. The range of colors also provides for use in landscaping and additional variation.

This tan gravel is also already in use in many of the areas and islands surrounding the park. It provides ground cover without contributind directly to the Heat Island Effect and is a naturally derived product. This gravel, coupled with the red gravel, makes variations in landscaping easily achievable.

The Desert Palms already in place are a drought tolerant species capable of surviving in the dry climate of Las Vegas with little upkeep. For this reason almost every existing tree will remain in place on the site. Only eight trees will be removed to make way for new structures.

Included in the building would be a complex program requiring multiple public and private entrances, operating rooms, a secure portion for long term stay, and offices. Sustainability was a focus in the master planning, looking into green materials like carbon sequestering concrete, native plants, and permeable paving.

Las Vegas, NV is a city that lives outside the bounds of sustainable living. Water resources are expected to be completely depleted by the year 2060, if not sooner. The city is located in the Mojave desert, a reasonably barren landscape. The government of the City of Las Vegas understand the challenges associated with sustainability in Las Vegas and have made great strides recently like incentivizing the use of xeriscaping to reduce water use. Other programs have been implemented as well.

Las Vegas receives approximately 4” of precipitation annually. Over the roof area of the Facility, that equates to roughly 32,100 gallons of water. A large water event of 1” of precipitation would be able to be completely contained within this tank, being used later for irrigation and outdoor cleaning use.

Calera brand concrete from Los Gatos, California is a carbon sequestering concrete. They manufacture concrete using techniques that absorb the CO2 emissions from neighboring factories. Rather than producing the 1 ton of CO2 that comes with 1 ton of concrete, half a ton of CO2 is absorbed in the manufacturing process of this concrete. It also is less than 500 miles from the site, which reduces the transportation’s carbon footprint and utilizes regional materials.

COR-TEN AZP steel weathers over time and creates an oxidized skin that protects the steel’s strength. In addition to its durability, COR-TEN steel has a high recycled content and is completely recyclable for future use.

The Advance Energy Design Guidelines were developed by ASH RAE in conjunction with the USGBC and the AIA. They offer design guidelines for each region of the United States, which will aid in achieving a 50% energy savings compared to buildings that meet the minimum requirements of the Standard 90.1-2004.The roof meets the recommended R-Value of 25.0 and the walls exceed the recommended R-Value of 11.4, with an R-Value of 15.

Turf Block is a permeable paving concept that creates a stable and durable surface, but allows for rainwater ground penetration. This reduces storm water runoff and Urban Heat Island Effect. The open areas will be filled with gravel to reduce water use on landscaping.

The Sun angles of Las Vegas can be mapped along with the average temperatures of each day. In so doing the optimum angle can be determined that will successfully block out unwanted Summer Sun while allowing desired Winter Sun for passive solar heating. Once the angle of 45˚ was determined as the optimum angle for Las Vegas, a fixed louver system was designed for South-facing glazing that optimizes Heat Gain for the Winter while blocking the majority of Sun during Summer months. This strategy acts as both a passive heating and a passive daylighting system.

Mixed-Use Adaptive Use Proposal The Power Plant at Trinity Trails is an adaptive use project that would house multiple epicenters of activity for the growing population in Fort Worth, TX. Emphasis was on sustainability as reuse of an entire building is one of the most sustainable practices in the construction field.

Focusing on sustainability, calculations were done to bring everything to the highest level of green as possible. 281,644.39 CF of brick and concrete will be diverted from the landfill if the building is reused. This is equivalent to a 65.5 ft solid concrete cube. Other technologies were explored such as urban-friendly wind turbines, rainwater harvesting and shading.

Mixed-Use Office Building Proposal A proposal was requested that would meet multiple criteria for a ground floor retail and restaurant space as well as additional 20,000 ft2 of Office Space. The site was a city block located in Lubbock, TX being 120 ft X 120 ft (14,375 ft2.)

Multiple studies were completed before design concepts were ever considered. These included the use of Autodesk® Ecotect. The top study looks at the sun path over the site, being predominantly from the South. This analysis formed the decision to have a split-core building, oriented along an East-West axis with little to no windows on the East and West sides. The second study aided in understanding what levels of comfort exist within Lubbock locations and what possibilities exist to aid in extending passive comfort design choices.

Page 16: Garrett J Ferguson - Spring 2013

For this design the primary structural system is compsed of three separate structural methods. These systems are combined to make one system. A column and beam system aids in supporting the cantilevers present in the design, while the shear walls support the main loads of the building.

Page 17: Garrett J Ferguson - Spring 2013

The combination of these systems allow for a generally open plan that is flexible in use. The cantilevers add significant square footage to the design without compromising the structural integrity of the shear walls.

This 3D cutaway exposes the multiple systems in use. A raised access floor was specifically employed for the HVAC for its efficient and flexible nature. Return vents located near the ceilings ensure a complete whole-floor air circulation.

Exterior Renders of the final proposal show the relation of the infill project to its surrounding buildings and how the proposal would appear from the exterior with residences, large clock mechanism and sloped glazing on the south side.

Page 23: Garrett J Ferguson - Spring 2013

A double-glazed exterior was chosen and tilted to reach a 30° angle, which was determined through climate and location analysis. This maximized daylighting and heat gain in the Winter while minimizing these in the Summer. Natural convention would occur with the heat gain, which would then be pumped into occupied spaces. During the Summer an exhaust vent would be opened near the roof allowing hot air from any heat gain to escape, and cause a natural air current. Large louvres help to distribute light evenly.
