As of April 23, 2004, sustainable design is taking root across the state while the only LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certified Green Building in Ohio currently is the:
Federal Building United States Courthouse
U.S. General Services Administration
Youngstown, Ohio
LEED Certified November 25, 2002
A total of 36 Ohio projects have registered their intent to be certified (as taken from the United States Green Building Council web list (4/23/04), including 9 projects at the University of Cincinnati at the end of the following Ohio list:
Adam Joseph Lewis Center for Environmental Studies
Oberlin College
Oberlin, Ohio
The Adam Joseph Lewis Center for Environmental Studies represents a collaboration of ideas and interests. The client, Dr. David Orr, has written on what he calls ?architecture as pedagogy? - the idea that the buildings we learn in teach us as powerfully as the content of our classes. In response, the Lewis Center was designed throughout to embody the curriculum of ecological mindfulness central to the Environmental Studies Program. The result is a remarkable synthesis of building and landscape, state-of-the-art sustainable materials and innovative design strategies. The Lewis Center is intended to be both ?restorative? and ?regenerative,? addressing how architectural design may reverse the environmental stresses brought on by the industrial revolution. To this end, the design team considered how the building and landscape could be fecund - like a tree - accruing solar income to the benefit of living systems, absorbing water quickly and releasing it slowly in a healthy state, and creating habitat for living things. One of the project?s primary goals was to become a net energy exporter, generating more power than would use to operate on an annual basis, while maintaining acceptable comfort levels and a healthy interior environment. The building relies on current solar income and the natural energy flows created by the sun. The roof is covered with 3,700 square feet of photovoltaic panels, which are expected to generate more than 75,000 kilowatt hours of energy annually. The design team employed advanced energy modeling techniques to evaluate design strategies. When the building is fully commissioned, its energy requirements are expected to be nearly 80 percent lower than those of standard academic buildings in the area. Advanced and "sustainable" design features include geothermal wells for heating and cooling, passive solar design, daylighting and fresh air delivery throughout, an on-site biological waste water treatment facility, a constructed wetland for natural storm water management, and a landscape that provides social spaces, instructional cultivation, and habitat restoration.

Renovations have begun and are well underway at the Adam Joseph Lewis Cleveland Environmental Center (CEC) located in an historic 1918 Cleveland Trust Bank Branch in Ohio City-- a neighborhood in Cleveland?s near-west Side. The project is a joint effort of Ohio City Near West Development Corporation (OCNW), the Cleveland Green Building Coalition and Cleveland Urban Properties. With the generous support from Adam Joseph Lewis, this unique center for nonprofit organizations aims to demonstrate to Ohio's developers, builders, government officials, and general public that green building can be done affordably in an historic building, while building capacity for Cleveland environmental organizations. In bringing together many of Cleveland's nonprofit environmental organizations, the CEC will be an exciting place that breeds collaboration and environmental innovation. The 25,000 square foot building will receive historic tax credits, while integrating numerous green building features. Green building is the design, construction and operation of buildings that reduce energy consumption, save money, reduce the use of natural resources, and create a healthy, comfortable living and working environment. The CEC will utilize these strategies in the following ways: 1. Energy Efficiency - 67% more energy efficient than a standard retrofit 2. Water Efficiency - No irrigation, local plantings, waterless urinals 3. Resource Reuse - 75% recycled building materials 4. Renewable Energy - solar and geothermal systems 5. Improved Indoor Air Quality - non-toxic paints and finishes, fresh air 6. Building Amenities - rooftop garden, conference facilities 7. Alternative Transportation Access - rapid transit, bike racks and buses.

The exterior will be restored and the current roof will be replaced with a glass dome. The Dayton architectural and engineering firm of Lorenz + Williams Incorporated will head the restoration. The restored library will house UC's Provost Office as well as the university's Office for Research and Advanced Studies.
UC 9) Genome Research Institute Power House (LEED 2.1)
The University of Cincinnati Medical Center identified Life Science Research as a key component of their future and established the Genome Research Institute (GRI) in renovated facilities several miles from it's main campus. The donation from Aventis Pharmaceuticals of these laboratory facilities created a fantastic opportunity to conserve building resources and land use. In order to separate the donated facilities from those remaining under the operation of Aventis, building services would need to come from a University operated facility. This new Power House building will service the GRI site, which includes eight existing buildings (totaling 360,000 SF). The site?s master plan includes the potential for 140,000 SF of additional research space and parking structures to accommodate population growth. The Power House includes new steam and chilled water generation equipment, space to house electrical sub-stations, compressed air, and water treatment. The building is a two-story structure housing chillers on the First Floor, boilers on the Second Floor and cooling tower on the roof.
