 In addition to the above, Rinker Hall incorporates low-flow fixtures, electronic

faucets, and waterless urinals in the restrooms. Each waterless urinal alone saves an

estimated 40,000 gallons of water per year. Dimming (table 4-3) above refers to the

photo-cell and motion sensor regulation systems which provides artificial light within the

structure only when it is needed, and at variable levels. The result of these efforts was a

predicted savings of fifty percent over ASHRAE 90.1.

 Rinker Hall also incorporated numerous other additions in order to achieve LEED

certification. These included such measures as low e/low voc paints at a $5 per gallon

premium, a radon protection system for $8,950, agriboard strawboardd) at $200 per sheet,

and HPDE in lieu of PVC at a 20% cost increase. These measures were important in the

design of Rinker Hall, and in achieving LEED Gold level, however, they have been

ignored in this study due to the fact that they address soft cost concerns such as indoor
