111 South Wacker The John Buck Company Goettsch
Partners

• First ever building to receive Core and Shell
  Gold LEED certification
• green roofs, low-flow faucets and urinals, native
  plantings, recycled-content materials, and
  low-VOC paints and carpeting. Like any new office
  tower, the glass is energy-efficient and a
  reasonably efficient (but not exotic) mechanical
  system is used

1 South Dearborn Street Hines Richard Keating
and DeStephano and Partners

• Earned LEED for Core and Shell Silver
  certification
• includes a fitness center with showers (common in
  this type of building), probably not included
  just for bicycle commuters' benefit, but
  accessible to them nonetheless.
• Hines also uses a low-temperature (48ºF) HVAC
  system as standard on it buildings, contributing
  toward energy savings, and has a standard
  commissioning process used on all buildings.
• The project includes the usual mix of low-VOC and
  recycled-content materials and claims a fairly
  high amount (41) of regionally assembled
  materials

340 On the Park 340 East Randolph Street LR
Development Company Soloman Cordwell Buenz

• This is the first residential high-rise in
  Chicago seeking LEED certification
• Outside of the standard green roof, low-voc
  paints, and local and recycled content materials,
  some mechanical features are the most unusual
  aspect of the design
• The project also includes a large bike room (over
  300 spaces) and stormwater collection for
  irrigation. LR notes they have been surprised by
  the high level of recycled and regional content
  they've achieved, but this seems typical for
  Chicago-area projects. They market bamboo
  flooring as the 'public face' of their greenness
  - also a common tactic, and fine as long as there
  is more to green claims than that

11
300 North LaSalle Street Hines Pickard Chilton,
and Kendall Heaton Associates

• Project has earned LEED Gold pre-certification
• Green roof
• Plus everything found in 1 South Dearborn, Hines
  first downtown green tower
• The project's location on the north bank of the
  Chicago River provides a nice opportunity for a
  waterfront amenity space, and together with
  (non-green) Trump Tower and Waterview Tower,
  notably alters the high-rise landscape along the
  river. However, this location also allows the
  project to claim green features not available to
  many projects, including discharging storm water
  directly into the river (rather than burdening
  the city sewer) and using river water for
  irrigation

• Seeking LEED Silver
• Green roof
• Rainwater collection
• Bamboo flooring
• Most windows are on the northeast elevation,
  helping to tame the difficult-to-control western
  sun. Less popular features include solar electric
  (PV) panels and decorative exterior LED lighting.

Norman Residence 1729 West Potomac HN Builders
Norsman Architects

• ground-source heat pump HVAC system, rooftop wind
  turbines (not shown in the image), highly
  insulated walls and windows, rainwater harvesting
  for irrigation, and a green roof

15
Mauceri Residence 1825 West Wabansia Frank and
Lisa Mauceri Wilkinson Blender Architects

• 3 Aerotecture wind turbines, 30 solar electric
  panels, and geothermal heating and cooling.
• Other strategies employed include the salvage of
  existing masonry for structural reconfiguration,
  salvage of existing roof joists for architectural
  applications, and terrazzo floor containing
  recycled glass and owner-supplied vinyl albums.
  Roof runoff water is captured and recycled for
  irrigation. The project earned a two-star rating
  in the Chicago Green Homes pilot rating system
  and was selected for a Chicago Department of
  Environment Green Roof Grant.

16
W Residence 2822 North Kedzie Brian Warling and
Lisa Wright John Joyce Architects

• The only visibly green feature of this project is
  a green roof. Most of the remaining deliberately
  green features are in the project's energy
  efficiency, including highly insulated walls (up
  to R-30 soy-based insulation), a high-efficiency
  furnace and air conditioner, and Energy Star
  lighting. The overall project is seeking an
  Energy Star rating, which is essentially a
  requirement for any small residential project to
  legitimately call itself green

17
Center on Halsted 3656 North Halsted Chicago
LGBT community center Gensler

• Two fundamental design elements of this project
  have an interesting relationship to green design.
  First is the placement of parking (serving Whole
  Foods) underground. Due to its high cost, this is
  rarely seen outside of the central business
  district, so it's nice to see the investment
  here. The underground parking eliminates a
  surface parking lot while preserving the
  neighborhood's three-story character
• The project's most novel green feature is a
  greywater system that collects roof runoff,
  stores it in a tank in the basement, and then
  filters and treats the water prior to using it to
  flush toilets

18
Loyola Information Commons 6501 North Kenmore
Loyola University Chicago Solonman Cordwell Buenz

• This is probably the most cutting-edge commercial
  green project currently underway in Chicago,
  because it seeks to integrate the architecture
  and engineering systems in a manner only widely
  seen in Europe. This is surely partly due to the
  German firm Transsolar's role as indoor climate
  consultant. The project is seeking LEED Silver
  certification
• This is the first building in Chicago with a
  double-skin facade, but there are others in the
  U.S., such as the Seattle Justice Center and
  Manulife Tower in Boston
