9c Sustainable Project Framework Revised Presentation
ITEM NO: 9C DATE OF MEETING: September 24, 2019 Progress Update: Sustainable Project Framework Leslie Stanton and Paul Meyer September 24th, 2019 1 Sustainable Project Framework Overview Commission directive Research and key findings Recommendations Key policy elements New procedures Costs and resource needs Schedule and implementation plan Finalizing proposed process and continuing research on emerging issues 2 Commission Directive Develop a framework that incorporates the following goals (including Century Agenda) into decision-making processes when evaluating energy sources and projects for Port operations: Reduce GHG emissions and increase energy system resilience Protect public health and the environment Advance innovation Leverage partnerships Support local economic development Advance race and social justice Increase transparency for Commission regarding sustainability aspects of capital projects 3 Findings: Certification Systems 4 Key Policy Elements Integrate sustainability early in the capital process Screen projects to focus resources on opportunities Convene subject matter experts to develop sustainable design approaches Share approaches with Commission and public to provide transparency Analyze lifecycle benefits and costs in design Implement sustainability strategies as appropriate Track progress and recognize achievements of project teams Key policy elements of the proposed Sustainability Framework can translate into procedures 5 Sustainability Categories Category 1. Energy 2. Air emissions (includes carbon) 3. Transportation/mobility 4. Water (potable and stormwater) 5. Waste 6. Materials 7. Habitat 8. Resiliency Evaluate only categories relevant to each project 6 New Procedures Screen Projects Tier 1: Smaller projects Apply standards and specifications Tier 2: Medium-sized projects Opportunities for sustainability benefit Tier 3: Large projects Full sustainability certification Project-specific goals as applicable Piloted screening with list of proposed capital projects and found more than half are Tier 1 7 New Procedures Conduct Sustainable Project Assessment and Review Committee (SPARC) meeting Research and evaluate sustainability options Draft sustainable design approach Require evaluation of sustainability costs and benefits in Design Share with Commission and public Request for Design Funds: sustainable design approach Request for Construction: final sustainable design strategy Implement strategy and track progress Sustainable project designs to be shared along with requests for approval 8 Example: Sustainable Design Approach Category Example Expected outcome Recognition Strategies 1. Energy Dynamic glass Reduce energy 2. Air: GHG Building efficiency Minimize carbon 3. Transportation/mobility Signage, amenities Support employees 4. Water Rainwater harvesting Conserve water and manage stormwater 5. Materials Use low carbon Reduce embodied carbon materials Approach focuses on categories relevant to each project 9 New Tools: Reduce Embodied Carbon Port has focused on operational carbon, but can begin to focus on embodied carbon 10 New Partnership: EC3 Tool Calculates embodied carbon for range of materials Use to compare among producers and as specifications in bidding Send market signals for lower carbon construction materials Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3) 11 Resource and Cost Estimates 2 FTEs (1 maritime, 1 aviation) to support projects Potential project-related costs depend on size and complexity Funding source: integrate into project budgets Evaluate program through 2020 and review cost estimates 12 Schedule Q4 2019 Revise Framework according to feedback Finalize guidance documents Finalize analyses of pilot projects Begin testing new procedures on projects as appropriate (C1, Westside Campus) Finalize implementation schedule Implementation and testing begin in early 2020 13 Findings: Certification Systems PORT LEED LEED Level Envision Salmon Safe Chicago (O'Hare and Midway), IL Dallas Fort Worth Intl.

PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
