1
00:00:09,379 --> 00:00:04,309
seven six five three engines up and

2
00:00:11,630 --> 00:00:09,389
burning and liftoff of space shuttle

3
00:00:14,930 --> 00:00:11,640
Discovery

4
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:14,940
I mean alligators rocket ships and trips

5
00:00:19,490 --> 00:00:17,250
out of this world NASA's greenness

6
00:00:23,180 --> 00:00:19,500
facility is taking root in rich history

7
00:00:25,460 --> 00:00:23,190
Kennedy Space Center in Florida from the

8
00:00:27,470 --> 00:00:25,470
plot of land it sits on to the crush

9
00:00:30,170 --> 00:00:27,480
crawl away rocks that will be used for

10
00:00:32,179 --> 00:00:30,180
landscaping and the iconic fire room

11
00:00:34,030 --> 00:00:32,189
window glazing and framing that will

12
00:00:37,220 --> 00:00:34,040
hold up new energy-efficient windows

13
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:37,230
it's all about reusing what's old to

14
00:00:41,420 --> 00:00:39,510
make a new and feather building we see

15
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:41,430
look behind me this building is the best

16
00:00:45,590 --> 00:00:43,890
of the best for NASA the new propellants

17
00:00:47,660 --> 00:00:45,600
North administrative and maintenance

18
00:00:50,180 --> 00:00:47,670
facility will be a future hub for

19
00:00:52,369 --> 00:00:50,190
spacecraft fueling support and a storage

20
00:00:54,790 --> 00:00:52,379
facility for cryogenic fuel transfer

21
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:54,800
equipment it will be a first of his kind

22
00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:56,850
energy-efficient building for the agency

23
00:01:00,950 --> 00:00:58,800
the building is designed to be a

24
00:01:03,470 --> 00:01:00,960
fifty-two percent more efficient than a

25
00:01:05,860 --> 00:01:03,480
traditional commercial building and to

26
00:01:09,340 --> 00:01:05,870
do that we looked at very specific

27
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:09,350
lighting fixtures design strategies

28
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:14,010
photovoltaic panels and we left no stone

29
00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:16,650
unturned in that process there will be a

30
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:19,110
nearly net zero energy and water use

31
00:01:24,350 --> 00:01:21,329
facility and that's not the only thing

32
00:01:26,660 --> 00:01:24,360
that makes it special and unique when

33
00:01:29,499 --> 00:01:26,670
complete the facility will stand as an

34
00:01:32,539 --> 00:01:29,509
icon representing gases past and future

35
00:01:34,100 --> 00:01:32,549
that's because elements and materials

36
00:01:36,380 --> 00:01:34,110
from around the space center are being

37
00:01:40,730 --> 00:01:36,390
repurposed and recycled to make the

38
00:01:45,679 --> 00:01:43,340
every shuttle passed through the crawl

39
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:45,689
away every every launch has been viewed

40
00:01:48,649 --> 00:01:46,950
through those windows we just thought it

41
00:01:51,139 --> 00:01:48,659
was a shame to waste so you're actually

42
00:01:52,969 --> 00:01:51,149
using it set at the same orientation and

43
00:01:55,850 --> 00:01:52,979
angle as it was in the launch control

44
00:01:58,190 --> 00:01:55,860
center looking out towards Launchpad ad

45
00:02:01,070 --> 00:01:58,200
that reuse approach comes from the

46
00:02:03,169 --> 00:02:01,080
facility's main goal to achieve the US

47
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:03,179
Green Building Council leadership in

48
00:02:09,139 --> 00:02:05,210
environmental and energy Design or LEED

49
00:02:10,910 --> 00:02:09,149
Platinum status Platinum is the highest

50
00:02:14,020 --> 00:02:10,920
rating a green building can achieve

51
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:14,030
there are only 267 in the United States

52
00:02:19,370 --> 00:02:17,010
only one other in Florida and this will

53
00:02:20,990 --> 00:02:19,380
be the first for the space agency it's

54
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:21,000
not just the finished product that will

55
00:02:24,860 --> 00:02:22,890
glisten a shade of green when it opens

56
00:02:27,559 --> 00:02:24,870
for business plans for december two

57
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:27,569
thousand ten since august two thousand

58
00:02:30,979 --> 00:02:29,310
nine the construction team has been

59
00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:30,989
working to keep the construction site

60
00:02:36,830 --> 00:02:34,080
just as eco-friendly we try to recycle

61
00:02:42,350 --> 00:02:36,840
everything on site that we possibly can

62
00:02:45,710 --> 00:02:42,360
to date 475 tons of concrete 163 pounds

63
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:45,720
of crush bottles at aluminum cans 2.16

64
00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:49,170
tons of cardboard 164 pounds of white

65
00:02:55,370 --> 00:02:53,489
paper 2.3 tons of wood and 3.5 tons of

66
00:02:57,650 --> 00:02:55,380
steel have been recycled from the

67
00:02:59,539 --> 00:02:57,660
construction site and these numbers will

68
00:03:00,800 --> 00:02:59,549
just increase until the project is

69
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:00,810
completed

70
00:03:05,570 --> 00:03:02,730
the construction team is dedicated to

71
00:03:07,309 --> 00:03:05,580
recycling every bet they can dumpster

72
00:03:09,380 --> 00:03:07,319
diving has almost turned into a labor of

73
00:03:10,670 --> 00:03:09,390
love so it's really amazing when I show

74
00:03:12,530 --> 00:03:10,680
from the site i can see someone going

75
00:03:14,330 --> 00:03:12,540
through the doser try to segregate the

76
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:14,340
waste to even a higher level on the

77
00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:15,810
world around nineteen ninety-five

78
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:17,910
percent waste that's generated on the

79
00:03:21,830 --> 00:03:19,410
site actually gets reused or convert it

80
00:03:23,540 --> 00:03:21,840
to some other process so right there

81
00:03:24,860 --> 00:03:23,550
with its high performance so have

82
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:24,870
something going and pulling out bottles

83
00:03:28,940 --> 00:03:26,610
and cans out of the closer so we can

84
00:03:34,070 --> 00:03:28,950
recycle an extra can really just shows

85
00:03:36,530 --> 00:03:34,080
you the dedication 13 items that would

86
00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:36,540
normally go into a landfill also are

87
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:38,310
being used for Kennedy's protected

88
00:03:43,729 --> 00:03:40,890
wildlife that even if Phil fencing after

89
00:03:45,259 --> 00:03:43,739
the project's done we have were we have

90
00:03:48,050 --> 00:03:45,269
our girls that will come over and then

91
00:03:50,479 --> 00:03:48,060
they remove the silt fence and use it

92
00:03:52,370 --> 00:03:50,489
for protection of burrows and steaks for

93
00:03:55,100 --> 00:03:52,380
burrows for the gopher tortoises later

94
00:03:57,050 --> 00:03:55,110
on so the team agrees this

95
00:03:58,880 --> 00:03:57,060
environmentally friendly facility is

96
00:04:01,280 --> 00:03:58,890
just the beginning for the Space Center

97
00:04:02,570 --> 00:04:01,290
and the agency when you drive around the

98
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:02,580
Space Center up you're not going to see

99
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:03,930
this kind of architecture this kind of

100
00:04:07,370 --> 00:04:05,850
efficiency this kind of design on any

101
00:04:19,970 --> 00:04:07,380
other building that we've done and I
