Green Building Trends
New roles are emerging – Chief Sustainability Officer, Director of Energy
and Sustainability, etc.
Green Building market is large and growing rapidly -- $12 billion in
construction starts in 2008, $60 billion by 2010
Price premium for Green Buildings is shrinking, making them even more
economically beneficial
Existing building registrations up in all verticals markets
Focus on improved Operations , Energy Measurement & Maintenance
procedures that reduce operating costs
EPAct &Carbon are playing a more important role in the Green Buildings
discussion
Green Buildings are part of the
legislative and the boardroom
strategic agenda

Green is becoming a competitive driver…
75% said sustainability
is either an
important part of
corporate strategy or
expect it to be important
in the future
Why have a sustainability strategy?
1.To have a competitive advantage
2.To be seen as leaders in sustainability
3.Public interest in the environment

Where should you start? Target your facilities…
Why? Existing buildings account for:
40% of all energy
68% of all electricity
12% of the potable water
40% of raw materials
40% of GHG emissions
30% of waste output
The answer is not constructing
new Green Buildings…

The greenest building is one that already exists.
Greenhouse gas emissions from renovation are 30-50%
less than an equal investment in new construction
At the same time, 20% more jobs are created with
renovation projects

Green Buildings
“As green goes mainstream,
standard buildings will
rapidly become obsolete and
lose value. To avoid this
problem, building owners
should carry out green
renovations.”

LEED requirements address the complete life cycle of a building –
from the site on which it sits, to the cleaning of the facility.
Standardizes credit categories for all rating systems:

Funding green projects using Performance Contracting
Performance contracting is encouraged through state
legislation and industry as a procurement method that allows
projects to be funded using the energy and water savings
1. customer finances facility improvements
2. project energy, water and operational savings are enough to pay
for the financing with an attractive risk-adjusted ROI
3. customer keeps all savings
4. utility and operational savings pay for financing and are certified
by envio- max engineering so your risk is mitigated

And finally, don’t forget public relations!
One of the primary drivers for sustainability initiatives is public opinion!
Press releases
Hold an event to celebrate LEED and/or ENERGYSTAR awards
Marketing efforts should capitalize on your green image
Join and create sustainability organizations
Create a sustainability website/report
Promote your green efforts with tenants, constituents, employees,
neighbors, and the media
“enviro-max can assist in your companies marketing efforts”

Did You Know?
Typical building lifecycle operations and maintenance impacts of
greening can generate up to $1 per square foot of annual savings
Nearly half of LEED buildings had ENERGYSTAR ratings of at least
75, meeting the qualification for an EPA- ENERGYSTAR building
The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that on average,
an additional $1 spent on more efficient equipment and buildings
avoids more than $2 in investment in electricity supply.
Average property value increases as a result of greening ranges
from is 4:1 to 10:1
“Working for a “cool” company or living in a ‘cool’ place is an
economic imperative for attracting workforce; green is cool”
