Finally, they tied all zoned systems into smart panels that turn off lights if they "know" nobody is scheduled to be in a specific area and can turn on all the lights in the event of a safety issue. In other areas, they found motion sensors or simple light switches to be the best method of control. They determined that there are some areas where only machines-not people-are working, and designed a system to turn on lights only when necessary. 6 To achieve this, James Konkle of GM describes how they divided each building into zones. from an allowable range of 1.3 to 2.2 to the building’s average 0.45 to 1.90. In the area of lighting, GM reduced the total watts/sq. As a result, the buildings are expected to be 45% more energy efficient than industry standards and lead to savings of approximately $1 million per year. The energy used by each of the six buildings on the site is strictly monitored by an advanced Building Management System. In this LEED category, the building scored almost every point that was not related specifically to energy production. In plumbing, copper's high recycled content, recyclability and reduced use of glues that emit VOCs all contribute to the overall sustainability of the building. For example, copper is the most cost-effective conductor in electrical systems, ensuring that they do not waste energy. In most of these areas, copper plays a supporting role, making many of the savings possible. To accomplish it, GM integrated a number of critical features related to the use of energy, materials, water and the site itself. Copper's Role in Making It GreenĪchieving LEED Gold certification is no small feat. 4 It also allowed GM to identify every actual energy, material and water use need throughout the facility and to tailor systems to meet those needs.
This process reduced the likelihood of design changes once construction was underway, which could have led to substantial time delays and additional costs. Using 3-D technology, design engineers built virtual models that allowed them to place assembly equipment throughout the plant and, then, to “walk” through it. 3 These are in addition to the stamping and paint shops which had been built previously on the site and were not included as part of the certification process. The approximately $800 million, 2 2.4-million-sq-ft facility includes a body shop, general assembly, administration and visitor’s reception buildings. The public can report alleged illegal gambling by contacting the MGCB at 1-88 or The Michigan Gaming Control Board shall ensure the conduct of fair and honest gaming to protect the interests of the citizens of the State of Michigan.GM’s Lansing Delta Township Plant was completed in 2006 Photo courtesy of General Motors "These establishments breed other types of crimes such as robberies, assaults and drug activity." "We have received several complaints from residents in the area about this place," said Captain Rob Block, Eaton County Office of the Sheriff. The investigation began after the MGCB received several anonymous tips about the alleged illegal gambling location. “I am grateful for the work of the Michigan Gaming Control Board in putting a stop to these unlawful actions.” “Illegal gambling diverts taxes and revenue from our communities which is otherwise used to support our state and schools,” said Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. We appreciate the public's help in identifying possible illegal gambling locations." "The MGCB will continue to work hard to protect Michigan communities from crime by eliminating illegal gambling. "Illegal gaming locations prey on vulnerable people and don't offer the patron protections required for legal, regulated gaming," said Henry Williams, Michigan Gaming Control Board executive director.
