Next month Payette Director of Building Science Andrea Love will kick off the 2017 Northern New England Chapter APPA (NNECERAPPA) Spring Conference as the Keynote Speaker on April 20 at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine.
The two-day 2017 Spring Conference, themed “Spring – Planting Bright Ideas”, will offer a tour of the Bates College campus, educational sessions and an opportunity for companies to exhibit their service offerings.
During the Opening Luncheon on April 20th, Andrea will discuss her involvement as an Advisory Group member for the AIA COTE (Committee on the Environment) and share sustainability strategies that can be implemented on college campuses similar to Bates College.
What is NNECERAPPA?
For over 30 years, the Northern New England Chapter of the Eastern Region of APPA – also known as NNECERAPPA has served facilities professionals from educational institutions in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. In 1978 a pioneering group of charter members saw the value in creating an organization of their peers where people could gather and share a common purpose. Continuing along in this direction, the chapter provides high quality educational and networking opportunities at its chapter conferences.

Cape Cod Community College’s Frank and Maureen Wilkens Science and Engineering Center is a net-positive energy building designed to transform the heart of campus.
The project approaches sustainability through a holistic and global approach, implementing a range of moves including passive solar shading overhangs, air-source heat pumps, high performance materials with low embodied carbon and the expansion of the range of thermal comfort and lighting power density. Combined with on-site photovoltaics, the project achieves net-positive energy use.
The project’s thermally modified wood rainscreen façade is a study of the modern expression of vernacular Cape Cod architecture while reducing embodied carbon. Early lifecycle assessments identified the immense carbon savings of wood over fiber cement. The design team did not stop there, furthering reductions by peeling back unnecessary finishes like carpet and ceilings. Together, these decisions enabled a 19% reduction in embodied carbon.
