USGBC SC Announces the 2013 Leadership Award Winners

Friday, May 24th, 2013

On Thursday, April 25th during the fifth annual SustainSC event the USGBC South Carolina Chapter held its Leadership awards luncheon.  The award sponsor Duke Energy was present and their

representative Bonnie Loomis, SC Foundation & Sports Marketing, gave a speech echoing the theme of the two-day conference – Rising Tide.  The Lunch sponsor for the event was BMW Manufacturing.

At the end of the luncheon the award recipients were announced.  Now in its seventh year, the leadership awards program recognizes outstanding individuals and organizations that have shown vision, leadership and commitment to the advancement of green building and construction in South Carolina.  When USGBC SC first began honoring outstanding leaders, it was with the intent of honoring extraordinary efforts above and beyond offering green building services to clients – not efforts made by those of us “in the choir,” but by those who embrace “green” by choice.  Those efforts should make others sit up and take notice.  Thursday we honored two different categories of excellence. Leadership awards honor individuals, firms or organizations that lead by example, or have helped transform markets by providing information or education that establishes the value of green building. Exemplary Projects are characterized by unique environmental, social and economic success, as well as the ability to inspire others.  They will also be judged by measurable attributes such as energy or water savings and the importance of recognizing leadership, which has brought us a long way, and will continue to do so.

The number of exceptional nominations that were received made this year’s decision very difficult.

Boeing South Carolina and Edens were the recipients of this year’s Leadership Awards.

The Boeing Company has built the state’s largest capital project to date on land that once was a phosphate mine.  When they came to the state, Boeing said that all new construction and major renovation projects will be designed to a LEED Silver rating or higher and they’ve kept their word. The company’s Final Assembly and Delivery project includes six LEED certified projects – four Gold and two Silver. These buildings, totaling over 1.5 million square feet, provide Boeing the manufacturing and operational facilities for the production and delivery of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Before the first shovel of dirt was turned, the design and construction team was charged with making the project an example of sustainability and environmentally progressive design. Many features reduce energy and water use and protect the nearby wetlands and waterways.  Then the company topped the project off by installing the largest solar power array in the state’s history. Their use of green power has made them one of EPA’s top twenty-five green power users.

Boeing South Carolina has served as an example to the rest of the Boeing organization.  This is the company’s first major production facility to achieve zero waste to landfill status. Boeing’s leadership will transform the way companies develop and manage facilities in the years to come.They have been truly a game changer for the state.

Edens develops, owns and operates neighborhood shopping centers in primary markets throughout the East Coast.  Several years ago they embarked on an ambitious commitment to sustainability with an objective to advance their understanding of green building design and construction, and its role in cultivating sustainable communities.

Edens has made it a policy to work with other organizations that share their goal of a more sustainably built environment.  They give preferential consideration to contractors and consultants that have LEED Accredited Professionals (AP) on staff, have sustainability programs in their workplaces  and / or have previous  ”green” project experience.

In addition, they have incorporated eco-friendly practices into Travel Guidelines, standard lease and Property Management standards and they communicate eco­ friendly practices to retailers and reward those who implement them.

Edens also practices what they preach: In 2010, they located their newly constructed, energy efficient, LEED Gold certified Commercial Interiors headquarters office to the high profile, urban, infill location at the corner of Main & Gervais Streets in Columbia – right in front of the State’s capital.  This former asphalt parking lot was replaced with green space and an 18-story office building. The company has given countless tours of the building, and all who see it come away impressed with the attention to human needs along with environmental and economic needs – the essence of sustainability.

University of South Carolina’s Patterson Hall and MUSC’s Clyburn Research Center/Bioengineering Building were the two recipients of this year’s Exemplary Project Award.

This project consisted on the complete renovation of an existing nine-story antiquated dormitory.  Four new tower additions were added to provide the seismic requirements to meet current building codes. The list of strategies used to drastically reduce the energy usage of this 187,000 SF complex (which seeks to promote sustainable lifestyle practices) is way too long to enumerate.  Cool roofing, heat recovery systems and energy saving washers in the laundry facility are only a few of the building’s features.

The complex is a “Living Learning Community” which seeks to promote sustainable lifestyles for its residents. An education program has been developed to present the project’s sustainable design practices to occupants and visitors to the facility.  Students receive a manual describing the project’s design features and the LEED program, and public tours are offered frequently.  The facility offers interactive displays to the building’s residents and visitors which track the building’s energy performance and provides comparisons from different areas of the building and to other buildings on campus thereby fostering sustainable life-style practices.  The design team pushed the project beyond its original goal of LEED Silver to attain a LEED Gold certification.

Patterson Hall presented the challenge of retrofitting a building for earthquake resistance.  The Clyburn Research Center/Bioengineering Building presented a different challenge common to many universities— building laboratory space that minimizes energy and water use.  Research labs, by their very nature, have complex HVAC systems (100% outside air requirement), have very intensive process loads, and require high light levels.  These design requirements, among many others, create a building type that is a difficult candidate for LEED certification at any level. This makes the achievement of Gold certification especially meaningful and significant. The building uses about 25% less energy, 40% less water than would be expected. Approximately 50% of the material in the building has recycled content.

The Bioengineering Building is one of a few research labs in the country to reach this level of certification, and the team has fielded many requests for information from around the country. MUSC is committed to continuous evaluation of the building systems and operating parameters and has policies in place for this effort to continue.

An additional award is presented yearly at the Awards ceremony. The award, named after Keith Sanders, one of the founding members of the USGBC South Carolina Chapter. Several years ago, the organization chose to honor Keith with an award recognizing service to the organization by someone who is not in a named leadership position.  The 2013 award recipient was Jude Peck of the USGBC SC Midlands Branch.

Jude has been volunteering for the USGBC South Carolina Chapter for five years.  During that time he has held a variety of volunteer positions.  His “let’s get it done” attitude is contagious. In each position he has brought passion and dedication to the work at hand and he has caused others to want to get involved.  He volunteers every year at SustainSC, the Chapter’s statewide green building conference, and he has recently taken on the new position of educating people across the state in order for them to pass the LEED Green Associate exam.  He lives, breathes and teaches Sustainability and cherishes the opportunity to share his passion with others.

USGBC SC Announces 2012 Leadership Awards

Friday, April 13th, 2012

Denise Sherman, USGBC SC Chapter Chair thanked the Awards Selection Committee: Joe Bace, Aimee Morrow, Bachman Smith, and Trish Jerman for their extraordinary efforts in selecting the three final award winners.

The Individual Award recognizes outstanding vision, leadership, and commitment to advancing green building in South Carolina. This year’s award went to Bryan Cordell. Bryan is Executive Director of the Sustainability Institute in Charleston, which has been instrumental in making green building and sustainability efforts more visible across the state. The Sustainability Institute has grown from a team of two in 2006 to 16 today with a budget of over $1.7 million. The organization’s green’ workforce development program, has educated more than 8,000 people and certified over 235 in Building Performance Institute (BPI) standards for residential energy efficiency retrofit work. Their weatherization projects have documented energy savings of over $2 million. In addition to the USGBC SC Board, Bryan has also served on a variety of other environmental boards and advisory committees. Bryan joined the USGBC‐SC Board in 2009, served on its membership committee, and Southeast Regional Committee (SERC). In 2010, the chapter elected Bryan President. During that year, USGBC national awarded the SC Chapter a grant helping it hire its first Executive Director. Bryan continues to serve as an elected representative to SERC, chairing its Community Engagement Committee in 2011 and 2012. In 2011, Bryan organized the first regional weatherization effort that coordinated USGBC Chapter volunteer‐led projects to weatherize the homes of low‐income families across the southeast.

The Exemplary Project Award recognizes outstanding projects with the ability to inspire others to pursue Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. The Exemplary Project award went to the Goodall Environmental Studies Center – Wofford College, Glendale Shoals. Receiving the award for Wofford College were Betty Montgomery, Trustee; Jason Burr, Associate VP of Facilities; and BG Stephens, retired faculty. Glendale Mill began operations in 1832, but closed in 1961. The property, suffered due to neglect and fire damage. In 2005, several local organizations and Wofford College alumni began a campaign to revitalize Glendale and to preserve the history and natural resources of Lawson’s Fork Creek. The mill office became the home for Wofford’s new Environmental Studies program, providing a clear example of sustainable design and creative historic preservation. The Center reestablished an identity for the community of Glendale and opened the beauty of Lawson’s Fork Creek—hidden for 100 years. In November 2010, the project achieved LEED Platinum Certification. Building highlights include:
• Uses 32% less energy than average buildings of the same size and type
• Uses 45% less potable (tap) water than average buildings of the same size and type
• Uses non‐potable water for toilet flushing and stored rainwater for irrigation
• A highly reflective “cool” roof reduces its heat island effect
• 78% of the Construction Waste was recycled (not sent to the landfill)
John Lane, Director of the Center and Wofford Professor of English said, “The LEED Platinum designation serves as an indication of Wofford’s leading role in sustainability. The LEED process is complex, but in the end, gratifying. The project is a great teaching tool; students can see the results in this efficient and beautiful building.”

This year’s Keith Sanders Service Award winner, named after one of the founding members who did about everything to keep the chapter moving, is Dan Gerst, the Chapter’s Communication Chair. Dan is a technology marketing professional, responsible for business intelligence, customer satisfaction, and market research at QS/1. Dan started serving the SC Chapter on the Upstate Steering Committee and as the Upstate Communications Chair in 2009. In 2010, the SC board elected Dan Communications Chair. He also took on the Communications Chair role for the Sustain SC 2010 Conference. Dan is now serving his third year as the SC Chapter Communications Chair. Denise said, “Using his professional expertise and unique motivational skills, Dan has formed a high functioning committee to serve the Chapter that would rival any Chapter in the country. Under his guidance, the Communications Committee has moved the Chapter forward with our website, emails, newsletters, public relations, social media, and research. We are very grateful to have Dan working for the greater good of the Chapter.”

Duke Energy sponsored the USGBC SC Leadership Awards program and Shawn Heath, VP of Sustainability for Duke Energy Carolinas said, “Duke has recently adopted an operating strategy that is good for people, the planet, and profits.” Duke Energy, of Charlotte, NC operates a diverse set of power generation assets in North America and Latin America, including a growing renewable energy portfolio.

2010 Leadership Awards Announcement

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010
The USGBC, SC Chapter announced the recipients of its Fourth Annual Leadership Awards. The Leadership Awards recognize outstanding individuals and organizations that have shown vision, leadership and commitment to the advancement of green building in South Carolina. Leadership Awards are in four categories: Individual, Education, Private Sector and Public Sector.  The Keith Sanders Award was also presented at the ceremony.

Recipient of the Public Sector Award Charleston business leader James Meadors, Chair of the Charleston Green Committee, an advisory committee established by Mayor Joe Riley in 2007. The committee consists of 22 voting members, 800 members from the community representing both the public and private sector, and the City of Charleston Staff Green Team.

The Private Sector Award was presented to Tony Bakker, CEO of the Charleston Battery, a professional soccer team whose home stadium (Blackbaud) has a large, sixty panel solar array generating 11kW of power – offsetting about 12 tons of carbon dioxide annually.  The team’s website monitors the power generated in real time. The Buccaneer, owned by Bakker was the first restaurant in South Carolina to be endorsed by The Green Restaurant Association.

Furman professor Frank Powell, Ph.D. was the recipient of the Education award.  Before sustainability was popular, Dr. Powell was at the forefront of Furman’s environmental efforts.  He shepherded many projects over the years, including recycling, energy conservation, the student Environmental Action Group, Earth Day celebrations, the creation of the EcoCottage (the first environmentally focused residential facility on campus). He pushed for LEED certification on all buildings on campus, and was especially involved in planning Cliffs Cottage (LEED gold certified) and Hipp Hall (the first LEED gold certified building in SC.

Finally, Beezer Molten, owner of Halfmoon Outfitters, received the Individual Award. Molten and his staff turned an old transmissions shop, into an office and warehouse that received LEED Platinum certification. Beezer worked with Nathan Gauthier, a green building consultant and Assistant Director at the Harvard Green Campus Initiative in Cambridge, Mass., to oversee all aspects of LEED compliance and documentation during the renovation for the Half-Moon facility. Molten and his team continue to collect and track building performance data to increase their understanding of high performance buildings.
