200 Market Place
The 19-story 200 Market Place building is among the first privately owned buildings in the country to achieve LEED for Existing Buildings (EB) Certification. Originally built in 1973 for Prudential Insurance Company, the Russell Development Company purchased the building in 1988. The owner, a long-time proponent of environmental responsibility, has implemented a variety of sustainable projects over the years. The LEED-EB path was chosen in order to quantify and qualify the facility’s green building efforts. The property contains nearly 400,000 square feet of office and retail space and is managed by Cushman & Wakefield of Oregon.One of the most important objectives that the 200 Market project fulfilled was the water fixture retrofits. In addition, a thorough solid waste audit that included a “dumpster dive” was conducted to document the building’s waste stream. They also installed the first gas-fired micro-turbine generator.

AIA, Center for Architecture
Built in 1888 and one of the oldest structures in Portland, the building was a former stable and carriage house in the heart of the city’s industrial district. The 5000 SF facility houses all of the chapter’s administrative offices, community gathering areas, and an expanded gallery space. As part of the overall sustainability goals, a major focus was to minimize the carbon footprint of the building and meet the 50% energy use reduction called for in the AIA’s 2030 Challenge. Combining the goals of reducing carbon emissions, and avoiding exotic, high priced technology, the AIA Center for Architecture is utilizing off-the-shelf split system technology and natural ventilation. This innovative combination is designed specifically to operate in the northwest climate, using passive systems that take advantage of the temperate air qualities in order to minimize building energy consumption.

Rosa Park Elementary
This new 71,000 square foot building will accommodate over 550 students and will service the newly redeveloped New Columbia area. The school consists of a two-story classroom wing, with a single-story shared space, that will also be jointly used by the Boys and Girls Club. All of the teaching spaces, in addition to the media center and Commons room, have natural light and operable windows. Material selection was carefully considered with emphasis based on low-emitting materials, recycled content, regional materials as well as durability and ease of maintenance. The school promotes alternative transportation with a carpool program, and will include the use of green cleaning products, integrated pest management practices and a comprehensive recycling program. An on-site photo-voltaic demonstration system will also be integrated into the curriculum, along with a signage program promoting sustainability using the project as an example.

Royal Caribbean: Direct West Call Center
Located in Springfield, OR, this 159,000 square foot building houses over 1000 employees. The unique barrel vault design allows ample daylight deep into the large open office areas through a continuous skylight running the length of the vault and glazing at both ends. The building has an energy efficient underfloor air distribution system that allows occupants to control air flow at their work areas and provide superior indoor air quality. Much of the 24 acre site was undisturbed or replanted with native and adaptive vegetation and an existing Hazelnut tree grove has been preserved. This project was awarded LEED-NC Gold certification in March 2006.

Shanghai Energy Resource Center
This project involves the design and development of a model energy center for the City of Shanghai, China in order to promote the development of a full-scale energy center on the site of the 2010 World Exposition. With financial support from the US Department of Energy and the Oregon Department of Energy, Green Building Services is working with the Shanghai Energy Conservation Supervision Center (SECSC) to create a model energy center in their existing facility in downtown Shanghai. Project includes the redevelopment of three floors within an existing high-rise building. SECSC�s offices will occupy the sixth floor while the eighth and ninth floors will be an energy education center dedicated to building professionals, researchers and the general public. The project will also serve as a showcase for green products, materials and technologies. The model center will demonstrate the opportunity for sponsors to assist with the development of a 15,000-25,000 square foot energy center on the site of the 2010 World Exposition in Shanghai.

Standard Plaza
Located in Portland’s business district, the 217,000 sq ft, Class A home office building was originally built in 1963 and is the first existing building in Oregon to achieve certification under the new LEED® for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance Program. The project team implemented a number of green design features and operational best practices that positively impact the property itself and the broader community. Strategies include: Plumbing retrofits with an estimated savings of 2.5 million gallons of potable water annually, secure parking for 75 bikes, green cleaning and recycling programs to improve indoor environmental quality and divert waste from the landfills, and the implementation of a new “Green Lease” that asks tenants to partner with The Standard towards the building’s green efforts.

Stoller Vineyards and Winery
Stoller Vineyards Winery is a 373-acre world-class vineyard producing estate-grown Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wine. The parcel of land was purchased by the Stoller family in the 1940s and until 1993 was used to raise turkeys and cereal grain. The Stoller's have turned the acreage into a vinyard and a state-of-the-art winery that is the first to be LEED Gold certified in the nation. Over half of the electrical needs for the facility are being generated from solar panels. Most of the facility was built with recycled construction materials. Rainwater runoff from the winery is collected in a pond. A gravity-flow design provides significant energy savings in production and lessens the impact on the grapes during the winemaking process. Wastewater is reused to irrigate a nearby pasture, and process solids (skins, stems and seeds) are used by a local organic dairy to fertilize its pastures. Cellars are cooled with nighttime air pulled through a thermal mass into the space by a fan at the winery's lowest point.
