Construction on the $11.5 million, 40,000 square foot Medical Examiners Facility and will be finished about October 1, 2009.  The building is located on the former Cooperative Extension site at the corner of Bumby and Michigan.  The building is on target to achieve LEED Certified status.  Water consumption will be reduced by 40% with the use of low flow fixtures and native landscaping not requiring irrigation use after one year.  Energy use will be reduced 14% with efficient design, construction materials and building systems.  Indoor environmental quality will be enhanced by the use of low emitting finish materials such as paints, carpet and adhesives.

The Green technologies used and design elements new to this station are:

• Revision of T-8 to T-5 light fixtures.  This will provide a significant reduction in energy use for lighting.
• All irrigation is drip form.  Much of the plant material requires little water.
• During construction at least 75% of construction waste stream is recycled or salvaged and diverted from the landfill.
• The metal roof will have a high SRI to reduce the heat island effect.  This will help the climate reducing the heat island and will reduce cooling energy costs.
• During design energy modeling was performed to increase the efficiency of the HVAC system.
• Use of highly reflective concrete paving

The 23,000 square foot, $5.5 million Sheriff's Sector II office is scheduled for completion about November, 2009 and will earn the LEED Certified rating.  Energy conservation of 24.5% will be achieved with energy reducing building envelope design and hot water generation from a heat exchanger on the efficiently designed air conditioning system.  Interior electrical lighting demand will be reduced by the use of over 30 Solatubes throughout the building to provide natural lighting.  It is estimated that 75% of the construction waste will be diverted from the landfill, construction finish materials are targeted to have low or no VOC's, and many of the construction materials incorporated in the building will be of recycled materials and/or regionally manufactured.
