Specifications include, but are not limited to: The intent of this scope is to “showcase” 6-10 existing facilities at UC’s campuses and medical centers to demonstrate the benefits of low-carbon and embedded carbon choices in the use of advanced timber products, low-carbon concrete, green steel and other materials. Showcase facilities would be identified, documentation would be prepared, potential teaching materials could be generated, and possible future policy recommendations would be developed. The goals of the Documentation of Showcase Projects are to: 1. Identify and highlight 6-10 “showcase” facilities at UC’s campuses and medical centers. 2. Prepare a resource document that showcases the finished project, summarizing key points on construction methodologies, project material selection, how design decisions were made, financial and environmental costs and benefits, lessons learned, etc., to educate future UC construction projects as well as the larger community. 3. Prepare content for a webpage summarizing the findings and showcase facilities to be hosted on UC’s website 4. Offer 1 hour training for UC community on findings and showcase projects as part of Scope B below. The goals of the Low-Carbon Capacity Building Program are to: 1. Develop a 5-6 hour training series to increase the capacity of UC design and construction staff to incorporate low-carbon construction in future projects; 2. Present two all-day in-person trainings once in Northern California and once in Southern California; 3. Develop written materials in coordination with the training session that can be used as a resource.
