Dunbar High School: Founded in 1870 as the Preparatory High School for Colored
Youth, Dunbar High School, located in Washington, D.C., was the country’s first
public high school for African Americans. A new award-winning campus opened in 2013
to replace a 1970’s building that didn’t meet the prestige of its influential
alumni. Representatives from numerous disciplines on the project will present
lessons learned during the design, construction and operations of this LEED
Platinum project.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

and Councilmember Vincent Orange held a press conference to announce the Fiscal
Year 2016 (FY16) Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) spending goal. The
Bowser Administration also unveiled a new website, <a href="http://c%20beconnect.dc.gov/">cbeconnect.dc.gov</a>,
that will help CBEs better navigate the local government procurement process.<o:p></o:p><u1:p></u1:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The FY16 expendable budget for
District government agencies is $634 Million, of which at least 50 percent, or
$317 Million, must be spent with CBEs. This feasible, but bold, spending
goal is the result of a top-to-bottom, data driven analysis of past practices
and current agency budgets. <o:p></o:p><u1:p></u1:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In FY15, the Bowser Administration
spent more than $250 million through contracts with small businesses, which
exceeded the total amount spent in each of the past five years. The FY16
goal reflects the Mayor's commitment to build on the District's progress, and
to increase its support for small businesses.<o:p></o:p><u1:p></u1:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Mayor Bowser launched <a href="http://cbeconnect.dc.gov/">cbeconnect.dc.gov</a> to
both increase transparency in the goal-setting process and help CBEs navigate
the procurement process. The website offers a user-friendly platform to search for
procurement opportunities across District government. The Bowser Administration
will also release an 'Opportunity Guide' with an agency-by-agency overview of
CBE opportunities. </span><o:p></o:p><u1:p></u1:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Setty is proud to announce its
involvement with a project to construct five new affordable homeownership
townhomes located in the west end of the City of Alexandria, VA. The
Stevenson Avenue site, purchased by Habitat for Humanity of Northern
Virginia (HabitatNOVA) in April of 2014, is situated in close proximity (within
a 1 mi radius) to the Capital Beltway/I-95, Landmark Mall and several shopping
centers along Little River Turnpike and Van Dorn Street. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Design services for the five new 1,400 sf, 3
bedroom townhomes are being provided by Wiencek + Associates, Dewberry and
Setty. Setty is providing MEP/FP design engineering services for the
homes, which will be constructed to earn Earthcraft Gold certification.
Additionally, through a partnership with Grid Alternatives, the townhomes will
include solar panels. The energy efficiency of the homes will lower the
homeowner’s energy costs, helping maintain affordability while providing
residents with a healthy living environment. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The townhomes will be sold at cost of
construction to qualified families who earn 30%- 80% of the area median income
(AMI). Families must have adequate income for a down payment and monthly
mortgage payments; 30 yr, 0% mortgage. Homeowners are selected through an
extensive application process designed to find partner families who will
succeed in a HabitatNOVA home. The application process seeks to determine the
applicant’s financial need and willingness to partner. Once selected, the
partner families must complete 300-400 hours of “sweat equity” in the building
of their home and other HabitatNOVA homes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The City of Alexandria faces a severe shortage
of affordable housing due to sharply increasing real estate costs and regional
development pressures over the past decade. Since 2000, there have been
dramatic declines in market affordable rental units and opportunities for
affordable homeownership by low and moderate income individuals and families.
The Stevenson Ave development will provide five homeownership opportunities for
families to live in the City of Alexandria. This opportunity is made possible
through the generous support of donors and volunteers.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The U.S. Green
Building Council has just awarded DC's new Dunbar Senior High School—designed
by a joint venture between <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: left;">Perkins Eastman Architects</span><span lang="EN-US">, Setty &
SK&A. </span>—an unprecedented 91
LEED credits, breaking the previous LEED for Schools record by 5 credits. The largest portion of these earned credits
came from the LEED category EAC1 (Optimization of Energy Performance), in which
the new building's design earned an impressive 18 of 19 possible points,
indicating that the School, opened in 2013, is projected to save from 46% to
48% in energy costs with respect to an ASHRAE-established baseline building
performance rating. These savings are
being accomplished through an array of energy conservation measures, including
a geothermal well field (DC's largest), PPA-acquired solar panels, radiant
flooring, an advanced lighting system with dimmable ballasts, and a rainwater
harvesting system.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

by the <a href="http://www.gsa.gov/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>General Services Administration</b></a>(GSA) to provide MEP design, controls integration, and commissioning services
for an innovative 12-month comparison study of competing chiller
technologies. This effort is part of the
GSA's <b><a href="http://www.gsa.gov/portal/category/102491" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Green Proving Ground</a></b> (GPG)
program, which is evaluating emerging building technologies in real-world

ongoing study is evaluating the technical performance and cost effectiveness of
a <b><a href="http://www.gsa.gov/portal/mediaId/197287/fileName/Variable-Screw_Chiller.action" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">variable-speed screw chiller compressor</a></b>,
one of only nine emerging technologies selected in 2014 for GPG
evaluation. The baseline for comparison
is being provided by a <b><a href="http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/180775" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">magneticlevitation (Maglev) chiller compressor</a></b>, a proven technology that was the
subject of a 2013 GPG study. Two chiller
units—one variable-speed screw and one Maglev, both having identical
capacity—are being installed side by side in the Yates building, and
performance metrics for both units will be carefully monitored for the duration
of the study.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Setty's engineers and commissioning experts are leveraging their
expertise in high performing building design to ensure that the two competing
chillers are installed in a manner that allows for a fair performance
comparison and that efficiently serves the cooling needs of the approximately 200,000 sf Yates building. From field survey to design of new water pumps,
variable frequency drives, a new advanced energy metering system, and a new
central plant BAS, our engineers are customizing the installations to allow
each chiller to operate at optimal efficiency.

monitor and verify the study results.
Due to the variable-speed screw chiller compressor's ability to operate
with high efficiency at partial cooling loads, the new technology is expected
to outperform current <b><a href="https://www.ashrae.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ASHRAE</a></b>
efficiency standards by as much as 44%.
Other anticipated advantages include simplified operations and
maintenance, and a short payback period—as low as 3 years according to
manufacturer estimates. The performance
of the variable-speed screw chiller is expected to compare favorably with that
of the Maglev chiller. Study results are
expected in 2016.</span></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">Emblematic of Setty's commitment to being on the vanguard of environmentally
conscious building practices are two new D.C. area projects involving Net Zero
Energy (NZE) buildings—one that is in its final stages, and the other recently
awarded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">First, with Bowie Gridley Architects, Setty has been investigating
the feasibility of using an innovative combined heat and power (CHP) plant to
serve four D.C. government buildings located in the city's new Southeast
Eco-District. CHP plants improve overall power plant efficiency by recovering
waste heat from electric power production, thus making NZE more attainable.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Another central tenant of NZE building
design—on-site generation of renewable energy—is achieved by using a biomass-powered
fuel cell as the CHP's prime mover.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Setty's
proposed CHP/fuel cell design not only realizes NZE, but is projected to save
the District over $300,000 per year in utility costs. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Second, Setty was recently awarded the MEP Design and Construction
Administration for a NZE demonstration home in Prince George's County,
Maryland.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">With this Urban Green-led project,
our goal is to combine renewables—a photovoltaic array and solar water heating—with
intelligent lighting and HVAC controls, thereby showing that NZE is a real
option for low-income suburban residents.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In both projects, Setty's energy modelers and engineers are
leveraging their expertise in high performing building practices to both serve
our clients and put state-of-the-art building technologies on the ground.</span></div>
