Greensburg GreenTown - Sustainable Building Database

  • The 5.4.7 Art Center is a community arts center designed to raise awareness of fine arts, both visual and performing, making arts accessible to everyone and provide an environment to create and gather knowledge through classes, exhibits and performances. The arts are extremely important to our community in order to maintain and cultivate our identity, our heritage, and our culture.
    Art is a visual and tactile experience that we all long for. Each of us has a desire to create something with our own hands that reflects who we are. The Art Center is excited to provide classes in multiple divisions of visual arts such as drawing, painting photography, ceramics, and sculpture as well as the performing arts with theatre and dance. They will also have a gallery space for exhibitions and meeting space. There will be after school and summer classes for kids, classes for adults, weekend workshops, visiting artist demonstrations, and more. This facility is an excellent opportunity for not only Greensburg but also for the larger surrounding area.
    5.4.7 Art Center looks forward to reaching all ages with programs for preschoolers to seniors and by giving residents and visitors an opportunity to experience fine art in western Kansas. Everyone has a need to be connected to one another, and the arts are a perfect way to bring us together as a community, to remember our past as well as shape the future.

  • LEED Platinum certification with greater than 50% energy savings and innovative water-reuse systems.


    Strategic window placement, light shelves, and skylights allow most of the incubator to be daylit. A ground-source heat pump uses the moderated temperatures of the ground to provide heat and cooling, and serves an efficient mechanical system, and R-22 walls ensure the building's performance. Roof-mounted photovoltaic panels provide 10% of the building's energy needs.


    Water from the building's sinks and showers is collected and reused to flush toilets. Rainwater is collected and used to supplement the graywater system. Rain gardens and other best-management practices for stormwater collection will allow water to naturally re-enter the underground reservoirs in the earth.


    Building materials were chosen for storm resistance, durability, and low maintenance. Walls were designed for wind resistance, and a rainscreen system with cement fiberboard panels provides moisture protection.

  • The buildings were built with 2x6 exterior walls with blown-in cellulose insulation. The concrete slab was constructed using a "floating floor" design to provide foam insulation from the inside concrete and outside stem wall. Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs), low-flow toilets, showerheads, and aerators were used in all apartments. Energy star appliances, when available, were used in the kitchen and laundry room. High efficiency air source heat pumps were used and the apartments achieved an overall HERS Index Score of 64. All interior walls of the apartments were painted with low-VOC paint and bio-based tile was used in the LEED certified 8-plex. Drought resistant landscaping and turf was used on the site as well as an efficient irrigation system.

Transit City

  • Un jardin pour chaque appartement


    On citait récemment le projet de Norman Foster qui consistait à construire à Londres une tour de bureau de 180 mètres de haut, dont chacun des quarante étages devrait compter plusieurs jardins. Dans la suite de ses précédents travaux, le groupe MVRDV propose, lui, de construire à Hengelo aux Pays-Bas un immeuble d'habitation dont chacun des 29 logements disposerait d'un jardin privatif sous forme de terrasse plantée. Ces projets qui indiquent clairement que ce qui n'est qu'exception aujourd'hui (un jardin dans les étages) va peut-être devenir la règle demain.


















    Nouvelle utopie ?


    Pourquoi ne pas imaginer que, d'ici à 2015, chaque appartement sera doté d'un véritable jardin ? Utopique ? Peut-être, mais on rappellera simplement que lorsque dans les années 20, les hygiénistes prônaient la construction de salle de bains dans tous les logements, on les prenait pour des "doux rêveurs". On connaît la suite... Les bains publics ont aujourd'hui quasiment disparu, et le nombre de foyers comptant deux salles de bains ne cessent d'augmenter. Bref, l'éternelle histoire de l'individualisation des biens de consommation... et le jardin en est devenu un, à part entière.


















    Vers des paysages hybrides


    A plus long terme, on peut même penser qu'apparaîtront des immeubles tentant de se fondre dans un paysage totalement végétalisé avec des jardins, des piscines et même un parcours de golf, dispersés dans les hauteurs. Après 50 ans d'urbanisme dominé par la voiture et les parkings, on se dirige donc doucement vers un nouvel imaginaire plus vert pour nos villes et nos immeubles. Qui s'en plaindra ?
