The subject of this report is Allard Hall, which is the building for the Faculty of Law on UBC Point Grey campus. Detailed information about Allard Hall is contained in this report. The life cycle analysis, as well as accompanying definitions and information, are detailed in this report. A life cycle assessment was performed previously for this building, also as a final project for a previous year of this class. For this project the previous LCA report and model was reorganized and modified where appropriate. To do this the take-off software On Screen Take-off, as well as the Athena Impact Estimator for Buildings software were used. Subsequent to the reassessment of the building, benchmarks for impact categories were created using LCA information from various other UBC buildings. The results of the reassessment of Allard Hall were then compared with the benchmarks, and the results were that Allard Hall had significantly lower impacts than the benchmarks. All of the information concerning the results of the LCA study on Allard Hall, as well as the comparison with the generated benchmarks are included in this report with accompanying figures. 2 Contents List of Figures ............................................................................................................................................................................ 3 List of Tables .............................................................................................................................................................................. 4 1.0 General Information on the Assessment ................................................................................................................ 4 Purpose of the assessment ............................................................................................................................................. 4 Intended Use of Assessment ...................................................................................................................................... 5 Reasons for Carrying out the Study ........................................................................................................................ 5 Intended Audience ........................................................................................................................................................ 5 Comparative Assertions .............................................................................................................................................. 6 Identification of building ................................................................................................................................................. 6 Other Assessment Information ..................................................................................................................................... 7 2.0 General Information on the Object of Assessment ............................................................................................. 7 Functional Equivalent ....................................................................................................................................................... 7 Reference Study Period .................................................................................................................................................... 8 Object of Assessment Scope ........................................................................................................................................... 9 3.0 Statement of Boundaries and Scenarios Used in the Assessment ............................................................. 11 System Boundary .............................................................................................................................................................. 11 Product Stage...................................................................................................................................................................... 12 Construction Stage ........................................................................................................................................................... 13 4.0 Environmental Data ...................................................................................................................................................... 14 3 Data Sources ....................................................................................................................................................................... 14 Data Adjustments and Substitutions ........................................................................................................................ 15 Data Quality ......................................................................................................................................................................... 15 5.0 List of Indicators Used for Assessment and Expression of Results ........................................................... 16 6.0 Model Development ...................................................................................................................................................... 17 7.0 Communication of Assessment Results ................................................................................................................ 20 Life Cycle Results .............................................................................................................................................................. 20 Annex A -

The purpose of 5 this assessment is to organize a previously performed LCA on Allard Hall into CIQS standards, improve the previous LCA where possible, and compare the environmental performance of Allard Hall with benchmarks generated by improved LCA studies of other UBC buildings, which are carried out by peers. Intend ed Use of Assessment The intended use of this study is to compare the environmental performance of Allard Hall with other UBC buildings. Reasons for Carrying out the Study The reasons for carrying out this study are to organize the elements of Allard Hall into CIQS standards, assess the accuracy of the previous assessment, improve the previous assessment model where possible, create benchmarks for UBC buildings, compare results of Allard Hall assessment against benchmarks, and suggest things to consider when implementing LCA. Intended Audience There is a wide intended audience for this study. LCA students in future years are part of the intended audience. Just as this study uses the LCA study of Allard Hall performed by students in 2012 and improved LCA studies of other UBC buildings currently being performed by other students, in the future this study could be used by students to compare with other buildings or further improve the study. UBC Properties Trust Planners and policy makers are also part of the intended audience. This study, along with studies of other UBC buildings, can be used by them to determine what construction components have less of an environmental impact, which can inform policy decisions. Another part of the intended audience is the designers and contractors involved in UBC building projects, who can use this study, along with studies of other UBC buildings, to make informed decision on 6 the construction components to use in their projects in order to minimize the environmental impact. Finally, the intended audience also includes the public since these reports will be make publicly available. The public can constitute other UBC students, faculty, administration, or anyone who is interested in LCA studies of UBC buildings. Since the intended audience of this study is quite varied, is it important that the language and terminology used in this study be accessible to varying degrees of familiarity with LCA. Comparative Assertions This study of Allard Hall is in many ways a comparative assertion, since it uses LCA findings of other UBC buildings to create benchmarks to compare the results of this study against. The results of this study are being used to create benchmarks which other students are using to compare their buildings with. The results found in this study and presented in this report are intended to be used in the future to compare other buildings against. I dentification of building Allard Hall is the main building for the University of British Columbia’s (UBC) Faculty of Law. It is located on UBC’s Point Grey campus, at 1822 East Mall, and was constructed in 14 months in order to open in September of 20111. The building was designed by Diamond and Schmitt Architects in collaboration with CEI Architecture, the general contractor was ITC Construction group, and the property owner is the UBC Properties Trust. Allard Hall is a four-storey, 141,000 square foot building, which cost approximately $56M to construct in 20112. The cost of construction for this building in 2013 Canadian dollars is $56.56MA major challenge in the structural design of this building was accommodating the weight of 1 . N.p..

This was done successfully, and the building boasts a three-storey law library, as well as classroom space, meeting space, and large lecture halls. It was designed to meet LEED Gold standards and reduce energy consumption by 50%, through several sustainable features such as a Geo-exchange system3.

N.p.. Web. 19 Nov 2013. <http://www.ceiarchitecture.com/project/ubc-allard-hall-law-building/>. 8 Per square metre of institutional academic building constructed The functional unit of m2 was selected because it can be used to directly compare the environmental impacts of Allard Hall with other buildings, particularly other UBC buildings. Table 2 - Functional Equivalent Definition Aspect of Object of Assessment Description Building Type Institutional Technical and functional requirements LEED Gold, BCBC 2006, structural capacity to support a large library, Library, classrooms, office space, meeting rooms, large lecture halls, forums. Pattern of use -Business hours for administration staff, support staff, and faculty members -Business hours for classroom and lecture hall use -Extended business hours for library -All hours access for law students and law faculty -Daytime use on weekends and weekdays for general public -Special weekend use of forum auditorium for special events and lectures Required service life 100 yearsi Reference Study Period The reference study period chosen for this assessment is one year. This is not equal to the service life required for UBC buildings, which is 100 years. EN 15978 stipulates that the default value for the reference study period should be the required service life of the building. There are several reasons why the reference study period for this assessment is not the service life of 100 years. The reference study period of one year only addresses the 9 product and construction process stage of the building, which is Module A of EN 159784. In order to make the scope of this assessment reasonable for the timeframe over which it was conducted (approximately 2.5 months), Modules B and C, the use and end of life stages of the building, were excluded. Module D is supplementary information, such as reuse, recycling, and recovery potential, and since it is outside of the system boundary, it is generally excluded5. A purpose of this study is to compare the environmental impacts with other UBC buildings; however, the time of construction and service life of the buildings on UBC campus vary greatly. Especially considering the relatively recent requirements of LEED Gold standards, which inherently has requirements for the building. In order to conduct the study in a manner that is conducive to comparison, the studies had to be normalized and a reference study period of one year, which only assesses the product and use stages, was chosen. Ob ject of Assessment Scope An LCA study on a building should include the building, from its foundation to the external works enclosed within the area of the building’s site, according to EN15978. This assessment of Allard Hall includes everything from its foundation to external works, except for interior finishes, fittings, mechanical systems and equipment, electrical components, and site work. The building components have been sorted using a modified version of the CIQS level 3 elements. These components were excluded in order to maintain a reasonable scope for this assessment. Furthermore, some of the components excluded from this study, such as mechanical systems, have changed significantly over the years; and therefore it would be difficult to compare the studies of various UBC buildings, which is in part what this assessment is intended for. 4 .

Allard Hall’s foundation is comprised of pad and strip footings with slabs on grade, on both the basement level, which is not the full footprint of the building, and the ground level. The building’s structural system is primarily concrete and consists of cast in place walls, beams, columns, and floor slabs. The building envelope is primarily curtain wall and the partition walls are mostly steel stud walls with a few concrete block walls. Table. Building Definition Template.

Modules B, C, and D have been excluded for reasons previously stated. Module A includes the product stage, involving raw material supply, transport, and manufacturing, as well as the construction process stage, involving transport and construction-installation process. These stages are described thoroughly in the following sections. The system boundary for this assessment is from the extraction of raw materials to when the building has been constructed and is ready for occupancy. 12 Figure 1 - Building Modules Product Stage The product stage of this LCA assessment takes into consideration the raw material supply, transport and manufacturing models prior to construction of the building. It is essentially considers the ‘cradle to gate’ processes for the building products and services that are reference flows for the construction stage. The Athena LCI Database was not developed from trade or government data sources, but it was developed from scratch using actual mill or engineering process models6. For the raw material supply, the Athena LCI Database uses information from regional product market analyses7. Data for raw material supply begins at the extraction of resources; the Athena LCI Database tracks the energy use, as well as emissions to air, land, and water per unit resource8. Activities such as reforestation and beneficiation are also considered in the data for this module. 6 . N.p.. Web. 19 Nov 2013. <http://www.athenasmi.org/resources/about-lca/technical-details/>. 7 .

Web. 19 Nov 2013. <http://www.athenasmi.org/resources/about-lca/technical-details/>. 13 For the transport module of the product stage, the Athena LCI Database uses weighted average transportation profiles based on distance, and takes into account difference in transportation based on region9. The database simplifies information by treating all offshore raw materials being produced in North America as though they obtained in North America. The transportation considered in this module is between the place of resource extraction and the mill or plant. In the manufacturing module, which generally accounts for the largest part of embodied energy and emissions, the Athena LCI Database considers differences in recycled content based on region10. Furthermore, it includes resource extraction information and considers differences in manufacturing technology. In this database, this module begins with the delivery of the raw resources and ends with the finished product prepared for shipment. Construction Stage The construction stage of LCA encompasses the transportation and construction-installation process modules. In essence it measures the environmental impacts of the materials from the gate of the factory to the practical completion of the construction work. The transportation module accounts for embodied energy and emissions of the construction materials from the factory or mill to the construction site. The Athena LCI Database accounts for variations in transportation based on location, and applies the typical transportation distances to the construction site within each city they are applied11. This is especially important for materials such as large dimension lumber, which can only be obtained from the British Columbia or the Pacific Northwest of the USA. This database 9 . N.p..

This module also accounts for the transportation of construction equipment to and from the site. The construction-installation process module takes account of the energy used to construct the elements of the building on site, for example from machines like cranes and mixers13. It also accounts for the waste generation, concrete formwork, and temporary heating and ventilation. 4.0 Environmental Data Data Sources This study uses the Athena LCI Database for material process data, as well as the US LCI Database for energy combustion and pre-combustion processes for electricity generation and transportation. The Athena LCI Database has been developed and is currently managed by the Athena Sustainable Materials Institute. The Athena LCI Database does not use data from trade or government sources, but instead was developed from the beginning from mill or engineering process models. This database is still growing and more than 2 million dollars have been invested in it. The US LCI Database was developed and is maintained by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and its partners. This database was developed and is maintained by NREL’s High-Performance Buildings research group, who worked closely with industry partners and government stakeholders. 12 . N.p..

More detail about is provided about this in section 6.0 Model Development. The previous model of Allard Hall was found to be as accurate as possible, given the limitations of the Impact Estimator; therefore no data adjustments or substitutions were made. Data Quality The quality of the data is determined by its ability to satisfy the stated requirements. To describe data quality, there are five types of uncertainty, which are data uncertainty, model uncertainty, temporal uncertainty, spatial uncertainty, and variability between sources. Data uncertainty is caused by variations in the values of measurements to derive the numerical values. Model uncertainty arises due to simplifications of aspects of the model that cannot be properly modeled. This type of uncertainty is likely to occur frequently when buildings are modelled with the Impact Estimator, since there is limited choices of component inputs. For this assessment there is some model uncertainty, as several components, such as 250mm cast-in-place walls, were modeled in a simplified manner due to the limitations of the Impact Estimator. Temporal uncertainty is due to variations of data over time. A possible source of temporal uncertainty in the Athena LCI Database and US LCI Database are the methods used in manufacturing new products, as these methods might change as new technology is developed. 16 Spatial uncertainty arises from fluctuations in the real world between geographical sites. The Athena LCI Database was compiled through surveys of different regions, which attempts to minimize the spatial uncertainty; however variability in the amount of data available for the various regions would cause spatial uncertainty. Furthermore, spatial uncertainty would arise when a building is assessed that is not located in one of the fifteen cities that the Impact Estimator allows one to choose from. Variability between sources is caused by differences in sources of the inventoried system, such as variation in comparable technical processes. 5.0 L ist of Indicators Used for Assessment and Expression of Results The impact assessment method used in this assessment and in the previous 2012 assessment on Allard Hall is the Athena Impact Estimator for Buildings (Version 4.2.0208). Athena uses the EPA Tool for Reduction and Assessment of Chemical and Other Environmental Impacts (TRACI v 2.1, 2012). The impact categories used in this assessment are as follows: o Global Warming Potential. The category indicator used is kg of CO2 equivalent mass. There are many endpoint impacts for this category, one of which is aquatic ecosystems. o Acidification potential for air. The category indicator used is moles of H+ equivalent mass. A possible endpoint impact of acidification are crops. Acidification can lead to increased aluminum in the soil solution, which can disrupt the cell wall structure of plants and inhibit their nutrient uptake14. 14 . N.p.. Web. 19 Nov 2013. <http://www.apis.ac.uk/overview/issues/overview_acidification.htm>. 17 o Human Health Criteria – Respiratory. The category indicator used is kg of PM 10 equivalent mass. An endpoint impact of this category are the cardiac and respiratory systems of humans15. o Eutrophication potential for air and water. The category indicator used is kg of N equivalent mass. Possible endpoint impact of this category are bodies of water. o Smog potential for air. The category indicator used is kg of O3 equivalent mass. Endpoint impacts of this category are plants and trees, as smog can cause growth loss, premature again, and decrease in pollen production for trees16. o Ozone depletion potential for air. The category indicator used is kg of CFC 11 equivalent. Some endpoint impacts of this category are marine life and agriculture. Plankton, which is the first vital step in the aquatic food chain, is threatened by increased UV radiation17. Some agriculturally grown plants, such as wheat, soybeans, rice, barley, oats, and many more, experience reduced photosynthesis, growth, and flowering due to increased UV radiation. o Fossil fuel consumption. The category indicator used is MJ. An endpoint indicator of this category is air quality. 6.0 Model Development The original model of Allard Hall was developed for the previous 2012 report. Structural drawings were used in conjunction with the take-off software OnScreen TakeOff, to 15 . N.p.. Web. 19 Nov 2013. <http://www.apis.ac.uk/overview/issues/overview_humanhealth.htm>. 16 . N.p..

Web. 19 Nov 2013. <http://www.bcairquality.ca/101/ozone-depletion-impacts.html>. 18 determine the sizes of the various elements. An inputs and assumptions excel document was compiled contained all the quantities determined from OnScreen TakeOff, as well as any adjustments that were made to make the information compatible with the impact estimator software. In addition, any assumptions that were made in the process were detailed in the excel document. The adjusted quantities were then inputted into the Impact Estimator and results were generated. For this report and assessment, the previous model and data was used, sorted, and modified. The level 3 elements were sorted into CIQS format, in order to standardize the assessment process with other UBC buildings being assessed. The next stage of this assessment involved checking the Impact Estimator model from the previous assessment of Allard Hall in 2012, as well as the associated OST files, for accuracy and validity. The scaling of the drawings on OST was checked and found to be accurate. The measurements determined from OST were checked as well. At first several measurements from the previous model appeared to be inaccurate; however, upon further inspection these values were confirmed as accurate. Due to the limitations of the Impact Estimator in selecting the type of assembly, for several components the dimensions were modified so that the model accurately represented the volume of concrete. Although these modifications create some inaccuracies and the resulting model does not precisely represent the actual building, upon further inspection it was determined that the modifications made create a model that is as accurate as possible given the limitations of the Impact Estimator. Other components that were checked include the material properties and component quantities. Initially it appeared that the quantities of the footings inputted into the Impact Estimator model was different than what was shown on the OST file. However, after observing the drawings more closely it became evident that the footings were accurately modeled in the Impact Estimator file, because footings are located on both the basement and ground level of Allard Hall, since the basement level is smaller than the 19 building footprint. As the previous model of Allard Hall was found to be as accurate as possible after inspection, no changes were made and no new LCA information was substituted into the model. The details of the sorted Level 3 inputs and assumptions for this assessment of Allard Hall are provided in Annex D.

Annex A contains further interpretation of the assessment results. Annex B contains recommendations for LCA use. Annex C contains a reflection of the study. And finally, Annex D contains the Impact Estimator inputs and assumptions. Annex A - Interpretation of Assessment Results Benchmark Development A benchmark is a standard or point of reference against which things can be compared. In order to create benchmarks for LCA, environmental impact data from various LCA studies must be collected. These LCA assessments must have a similar reference study period, must 23 use the similar impact assessment methods, and must have the same functional units. Using the same functional units and presenting benchmarks as environmental impact/functional unit is essential, otherwise the data from the LCA studies is incompatible and cannot be used to make benchmarks. Moreover, the goal and scope, as well as the model development of the LCA studies to be used to make benchmarks must be the same, or at least very similar. Benchmarks can be created for a variety of unifying characteristics, such as region, use of building, type of building construction, classification of building, and many more. It is inevitable that the building process will have environmental impacts, and LCA assessments are beneficial in that they make the audience aware of what the environmental impacts are; however, without benchmarks to compare against, it is impossible to determine if the building under assessment has a higher or lower environmental impact than average. Furthermore, benchmarks allow the overall comparison of environmental impacts of different building regions, or different building types, or different building categories. UBC Academic Building Benchmark Benchmarks were created from the seventeen UBC building assessed. The benchmarks were created from information on the GoogleDrive taken at 2pm on Sunday, November 17, 2013. The results of this study on Allard Hall are compared against the benchmarks in the following figures. 24 Figure 2 - All Impact Categories, % Difference -700 -600 -500 -400 -300 -200 -100 0 100 Total A11 A21 A22 A23 A31 A32 B11 % Difference Between Allard Hall and Benchmark Fossil Fuel Consumption Global Warming Acidification Human Heatlh Criteria - Respiratory Eutrophication Ozone Layer Depletion Smog 25 Figure 3 - Fossil Fuel Consumption Figure 4 - Global Warming 0.00 500.00 1,000.00 1,500.00 2,000.00 2,500.00 3,000.00 3,500.00 4,000.00 4,500.00 5,000.00 Total A11 A21 A22 A23 A31 A32 B11 MJ/m2 Fossil Fuel Consumption Benchmark Allard Hall 0.00 50.00 100.00 150.00 200.00 250.00 300.00 350.00 400.00 Total A11 A21 A22 A23 A31 A32 B11 kg Co2eq/m2 Global Warming Benchmark Allard Hall 26 Figure 5 - Acidification Figure 6 - Human Health Criteria - Respiratory 0.00 0.50 1.00 1.50 2.00 2.50 3.00 3.50 Total A11 A21 A22 A23 A31 A32 B11 Moles of H+eq/m2 Acidification Benchmark Allard Hall 0.00 0.20 0.40 0.60 0.80 1.00 1.20 Total A11 A21 A22 A23 A31 A32 B11 kg PM10eq/m2 Human Health Criteria - Respiratory Benchmark Allard Hall 27 Figure 7 - Eutrophication Figure 8 - Ozone Layer Depletion 0.00 0.05 0.10 0.15 0.20 0.25 0.30 Total A11 A21 A22 A23 A31 A32 B11 kg Neq/m2 Eutrophication Benchmark Allard Hall 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Total A11 A21 A22 A23 A31 A32 B11 kg CFC-11eq/m2 Ozone Layer Depletion Benchmark Allard Hall 28 Figure 9 - Smog Allard Hall had lower values for all the impact categories when compared to the benchmark values.

The values for cost were intended to be in 2013 Canadian dollars; however the cost calculations were all done separately by different students and taken from a common information drive, it was impossible to know at the time of data extraction if the cost values had been inflated to 2013 dollars. Furthermore, since the cost calculations were done by individual students, it is difficult to verify if the calculations were done in a congruent and accurate manner. Annex B - Recommendations for LCA Use Life cycle analysis can be a powerful tool to use in the design stage of a building. It can be utilized to inform designers and planners of the potential impacts that their building designs would have on the environment. It can be used for building designers and planners to explore many different options for building components and accurately compare them 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 Global Warming (kg CO2eq) Cost (Millions of 2013 CAD$) GWP 30 based on the impact categories of LCA results. In order for LCA to become more widely used in building design and appropriate for various types of projects, there are several things that should be considered. Constant development and maintenance of LCI databases, to improve the quality and variety of products involved, should be undertaken. The development of benchmarks for buildings groups by categories such as geographical region, use, classification, and construction would help LCA become a more powerful design tool. Furthermore, life cycle modules beyond product and construction stages should be considered for buildings, and benchmarks should be created for these stages as well. In order for benchmarks to be created, normalization methods will need to be developed to make the comparison valid for buildings with different uses and service lives. In efforts to operationalize LCA in building design, it is important to consider how the impact categories should be prioritized. Many professionals have differing opinions concerning which impact categories are most important, and which should be minimized the most. Although it is unlikely to have all professionals involved come to a consensus concerning the prioritization of impact categories, it is important to explicitly outline how the LCA results will be used and how the impact categories are prioritized. The steps and considerations outlined above should be used when attempting to operationalize LCA methods, data and their use in practice at UBC. Annex C - Author Reflection Prior to this class, I had only been exposed to LCA briefly in CIVL 200. Sustainability is a topic that has been integrated into a large number of the classes I have previously taken. 31 This course, CIVL 498C, covered the entire LCA process, from the history of LCA to the practice of LCA, as well as related topics such as social LCA and LCC. What interested me about this course is drive to move towards more sustainable building practices, and the methods that can be used to assess the impacts of construction projects. Although this project has been time consuming and using the software has been at times been frustrating, the overall experience of looking in such detail at an LCA study has been rewarding. However, a large portion of this project hinged on the quality of work of the previous study of the building.

All footing concrete has average fly ash content Rebar sizes are assumed as follows: ϭϬDїηϰ ϭϱDїηϱ ϮϬDїηϲ Rebar sizes larger than 74 2 0M will be assumed to be #6. All measurements in IE are in emperial form A21 Lower Floor Construction Foundation Concrete Slabs On Grade The strength of the slabs on grade are dependant on being interior or exterior. These are denoted as 20 Mpa for Interior and 32 Mpa for Exterior and are taken in the Impact estimator as 3000psi and 4000psi respectively. All Slabs on Grade are assumed to have average content of fly ash. All measurements in IE are in imperial form All measurements taken using on screen take off for slabs do not overlap with footings and walls, but do overlap columns and beams. Columns and Beams Columns and Beams are not summarized as individual structural components. Instead, a set of beam, column and floor intesection is analyzed in the Impact Estimator Aeras of each floor are measured based on Onscreen Takeoff. All columns and beams concrete has average fly ash content Bay sizes and span sized are assumed to be 6m based on their location on the grids in the structural drawings. 75 Live load of each floor calculated as an average of the load design of that floor. Exact results are approximated later for input data. A22 Upper Floor Construction Columns and Beams Columns and Beams are not summarized as individual structural components. Instead, a set of beam, column and floor intesection is analyzed in the Impact Estimator Aeras of each floor are measured based on Onscreen Takeoff. All columns and beams concrete has average fly ash content Bay sizes and span sized are assumed to be 6m based on their location on the grids in the structural drawings. Live load of each floor calculated as an average of the load design of that floor. Exact results are approximated later for input data. Floors Concrete Suspended Slab All Slabs are noted to be 30Mpa, which is rounded to 4000 psi All Slabs on Grade are assumed to have average content of fly ash. All measurements in IE are in imperial form All measurements taken using on screen take off for slabs do not overlap with footings and walls, but do 76 overlap columns and beams. All spans lengths noted are found using a weighted average calculation. This calculation used the spans observed and averaged the values based on the area these were found. For details of these calculations, please refer to below. 4.1.2 Floor _Concrete Suspended Slab_3.6LL The live load of 3.6KN was used for all classroom and office areas as noted on the structural drawings provided 4.1.3 Floor _Concrete Suspended Slab_4.8LL A live load of 4.8KN was used for all library areas and other high load areas as noted on the structural drawings provided. Because 4.8KN is the highest live load analysed by IE, this includes Live Loads of 7.2 and 9.8, also noted in the plans. A23 Roof Roof Concrete Suspended Slab All Slabs are noted to be 30Mpa, which is rounded to 4000 psi All Slabs on Grade are assumed to have average content of fly ash. All measurements in IE are in imperial form All measurements taken using on screen take off for slabs do not overlap with footings and walls, but do overlap columns and beams. 77 All spans lengths noted are found using a weighted average calculation. This calculation used the spans observed and averaged the values based on the area these were found. For details of these calculations, please refer to below. 5.1.1 Roof _Concrete Suspended Slab_2.4LL The live load of 2.4KN was used for all roof areas as noted on the structural drawings provided Steel Joist Roof All measurements in IE are in imperial form All spans lengths noted are found using a weighted average calculation. This calculation used the spans observed and averaged the values based on the area these were found. For details of these calculations, please refer to below. 5.2.1 Roof_Steel Joist Roof The Joist Size as approximated to be W250X22 based on its description in the drawings Deck Thicness was listed as 38mm, but used 19mm in IE due to limitations. All other factors were not provided and were assumed based on typical industry standards A31 Walls Below Grade Walls Cast In Place All walls taken as 30MPA (4350psi). Actual walls were between either 25, 30, or 40. In order to 78 balance out and be conservative, 30 was chosen. 2.1.1 Wall_Cast-in-Place_200mm_Basement Flyash percentage not specified, "average" used. Slab depth was taken as 200mm (0.656ft) in all locations. Reasonable considering that a majority of the slabs are 200mm and the difference between 200mm and 225mm is negligible All reinforcement taken as #15M. Most reinforcement is actually 10M, with very few 20M bars in the larger shear walls. Lengths adjusted and 12in. thickness used for impact estimator to achieve equivalen volumes. This may create an overestimation for formwork but is necessary to not underestimate concrete. Furring 2.3.5 Furring_F4_Main Section on first floor drawing has 11ft of "F5." Doesn't exist in schedule, assumed it was F4 (similar to other furring in the area). A32 Walls Above Grade Walls Cast In Place All walls taken as 30MPA (4350psi). Actual walls were between either 25, 30, or 40. In order to balance out and be conservative, 30 was chosen. Flyash percentage not specified, "average" used. Slab depth was taken as 200mm (0.656ft) in all locations. Reasonable considering 79 that a majority of the slabs are 200mm and the difference between 200mm and 225mm is negligible All reinforcement taken as #15M. Most reinforcement is actually 10M, with very few 20M bars in the larger shear walls. Lengths adjusted and 12in. thickness used for impact estimator to achieve equivalen volumes. This may create an overestimation for formwork but is necessary to not underestimate concrete. 2.1.7 Wall_Cast-in-Place_200mm_Main "Main" refers to the 1st to 4th floor, which share similar wall heights and other characteristics. B11 Partitions Walls Partition Walls 2.2.1 Interior_Partition_P1_Basement (and all other steel stud partition walls unless stated) Stud thickness unknown, taken as 25Ga. Insulation type unknown, referred to only as Batt Insulation. "Fiberglass Batt" used. Gypsum board 16mm Type X and 16mm Fire code C both taken as "Gypsum Fire Rated Type X 5/8" 2.2.16 Exterior_Partition_W1_Main (and all other concrete block walls) Reinforcement unknown, taken as 10M (lowest value allowed by impact estimator). Insulation type unknown, referred to only as semi-rigid insulation. "Polystyrene Expanded" used. Air and water barrier unknown. "Polyethylene 3 mil" used. Glazing type unknown. "Standard Glazing" used. 80 2.2.17 Exterior_Partition_W1.1_Main 2.2.21 Exterior_Partition_W3.1_5thFloor Cladding exists over previously counted structural walls. No assembly used, only envelope. 2.2.18 Exterior_Partition_W1.1_Main In order to add cladding without a wall, part of the length of 2.1.7 was removed and added to 2.2.18 to balance out the amount of concrete used. 2.2.21 Exterior_Partition_W3.1_5thFloor In order to add cladding without a wall, part of the length of 2.1.7 was removed and added to 2.2.18 to balance out the amount of concrete used. Note, the presence of doors and height differential will make numbers slightly inaccurate. 2.3.1 Furring_F1_Basement 22mm furring system used and smallest steel stud available is 92mm. Studs placed at 600mm spacing to compensate. Special Interior Walls 2.5.1 Forum_Sliding_Doors 2.5.2 Forum_Wood_Panel_Balcony Type of wood unknown and no applicable input exists.
