Duffield Associates Wins Premier Green Building Award from IFMA
Delaware
July 6, 2009 - The International Facility Management Association
(IFMA) Delaware Chapter presented the first annual Green Building
Award at their year-end meeting. The Green Building Award was created
to recognize efforts by members and associates who apply sustainable
practices to their facilities and projects but do not meet LEED
credentials. Companies could submit a facility for consideration,
which was then judged by a list of possible sustainable elements
in (13) categories including Site and Landscaping, Waste Reduction,
Heating and Cooling, and Interior Materials. The company that met
the most criteria in each category won a certificate for that category.
In the event of a tie, the Green Building Award is given to the
submission that won the most overall categories.
The 2009 Green Building Award winner was Duffield Associates for
the firm's Water Shed building. This building, designed by Homsey
Architects, features numerous sustainable elements including the
use of day lighting, space for recycling, a bioretention facility
for stormwater runoff, and low emission interior materials.
Duffield Associates Wins National Award
February 2, 2009 - A Duffield Associates project was recently selected
as one of the top 10 stormwater projects in the United States by
nationally recognized Storm Water Solutions magazine. The TD Bank
Redevelopment and Rain Garden project is located in Hockessin neighboring
the Hockessin Fire Hall. This is an area susceptible to sinkhole
formation, within a publicly regulated Water Resource Protection
Area (WRPA), and near key public drinking water supply wells.
Duffield Associates' water resource team worked with TD Bank's
designer to develop a stormwater management program that utilizes
diffuse recharge stormwater management practices to protect critical
groundwater supplies while mitigating the potential for sinkhole
development at the site. On-site stormwater management practices
that were implemented include a large rain garden, and harvesting
and storage of rooftop runoff in underground tanks for site irrigation.
This approach significantly reduced the need to use drinking water
for irrigation purposes.
This project also won an Honors Award from the American Council
of Engineering Companies - Delaware.
