effectiveness.
Gaia Napa Valley Hotel, American Canyon, CA

LEED NC Gold
The new 90,000 square-foot Gaia Napa Valley Hotel, owned by Butterfly Effect, is the first hotel
in the U.S. to achieve a LEED Gold rating. The hotel has a guest room lodge, a reception building,
and a conference center containing meeting rooms, a kitchen, and banquet room. A stormwater
management plan has been implemented to reduce the impact on the community stormwater
system and improve the performance over that of pre-development conditions. Roof surface
water is collected and diverted to a central lagoon and then used to irrigate courtyard
landscaping. The frontage of the entire site, exclusive of the entry drive, has been reconfigured
into a series of bioswales and berms with an underdrain system and additional storage capacity,
so that virtually no runoff leaves the site. The project is estimated to have energy savings of
24.9% beyond ASHRAE 90.1-1999 (and Californias Title 24) and it has a solar array that supplies
more than 10% of the electrical demand.

CalPERS Headquarters Expansion, Sacramento, CA

LEED NC Gold
This LEED Gold certified project is a 550,000 square foot office development for the
California Public Employees Retirement System. Intelligent siting, envelope design, and building
orientation helped capture the benefits of free natural cooling and shading. Among the projects
energy-related achievements, it incorporates an 87 kW array of photovoltaic panels, contributing
to an energy savings of approximately 38% beyond ASHRAE 90.1-1999 and Title 24-1998. The
project team implemented most of the LEED Indoor Environmental Quality strategies,
including low-emitting materials, views to the outside, construction IAQ management, thermal
comfort controls, and increased ventilation effectiveness. Green finish materials include bamboo
flooring, recycled-content carpet, regionally manufactured materials, and FSC-certified wood
doors and work surfaces. The project also diverted 90% of its construction waste from landfills.
University of California at Merced, Classroom & Office Building

LEED NC Gold
The Classroom and Office Building contains 60,000 assignable square feet of multi-disciplinary
instructional space for students, and research office space for faculty in the social sciences,
humanities, and arts. The project was able to reduce water consumption by 35% through the
use of waterless urinals and low flow lavatories. In addition the building demonstrates significant
saving over Title 24 through the use of occupancy sensors, photocell dimers, and exterior
solar shading on all non-north facades. Other significant features include locally manufactured
materials and regionally extracted materials. In addition, 90% of the construction waste was
diverted from landfills.
