Signs and Symptoms of Signs and Symptoms of ContaminationContamination

• Global Warming – Temperature Increase• Ozone Depletion & Solar Radiation changes• Water Pollution & Disease• Air Pollution• Soil contamination – erosion• Species Overpopulation /extinction ecosystem imbalance• negligent extraction of Natural resource • Non-renewable resource consumption / shortage• Limited natural resources• Civil, political, economic and military confrontation.

Typical hazards introduced when BUILDING A HOME

• CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS OUTGASSING

• BURN FUEL INSIDE BUILDING• FINISHED BASEMENTS• GARAGES IN BUILDINGS• LEAKY MECHANICAL

SYSTEMS IN BASEMENTS OR ATTICS

• THE MISER SYNDROME

What is building Green?

• Environmental responsiveness• Resource Efficiency• Community and Cultural sensitivity• Integration of ecology and real estate• Energy, Indoor air quality, materials,

water conservation, appliances• Sustainable sites, atmosphere,

Innovation and design process.

Sustainability

• The ability of society to continue without being forced into decline through the exhaustion or overloading of the resources on which it depends.

Expense of Building GreenExpense of Building Green

• Long term vs. short term costs

• Cost trade-off– $ upgrade…….long term pay-off utility bills

Cost ComparisonCost Comparison

• Conventional - Built homes– 1,600 sf x $130/sf =

$208,000

• Green built homes– 1,600 sf x $156/sf =

$249,600– Architect

engineering– permit fees

Conventional vs Green

• Conventional – Ave. Electric/fossil fuel

monthly bill = 250/month + 5%/yr inflation = $199k over 30 years

– combined energy payments in 2034 $1029/month

• Green– Ave. Electric/fossil fuel

monthly bill = 250/month x 60% (40% energy savings) = $150/ month + 3%/yr inflation = $86k over 30 years

– combined energy payments in 2034 $354/month

NYS Tax Credits

• $25 million income tax credit

• Program life-9 years

• Tax credit spread over five years

• High but obtainable standards for building green

Where the money is……

• Base building: 5% of allowable costs, up to $7.50/ sf

• Tenant space: 5% allowable Costs, up to $3.75/ sf

More Incentives

• Fuel cells– 30% inst costs– Max $1,000/ kw of dc rated capacityPhotovoltaic's

100% of incremental costs of BIPV25% costs of non-BIPVcap of $3/W of DC rated capacity

Why build green? Did you know?

• In United States, buildings account for:

• 36% of total energy use• 65% of electricity

consumption • 30% of greenhouse gas

emissions • 30% of raw materials

use • 30% of waste

output/136 million tons annually

• 12% of potable water consumption

• Environmental benefits: • Enhance and protect ecosystems and

biodiversity • Improve air and water quality • Reduce solid waste • Conserve natural resources • Economic benefits: • Reduce operating costs • Enhance asset value and profits • Improve employee productivity and

satisfaction • Optimize life-cycle economic performance • Health and community benefits: • Improve air, thermal and acoustic

environments • Enhance occupant comfort and health • Minimize strain on local infrastructure • Contribute to overall quality of life

Water Efficiency

• Water efficient landscape• Innovative wastewater

technologies• Water use reduction• The US discharges 220

billion gallons of used water and/or treated water per day into rivers streams and water bodies.

Vegetated Roofs

• Control Storm Water

• Protect roof membrane

• Eliminate Heat Island effect

• Insulates building

• Actively Cools building in Summer

• Creates O2 and Absorbs CO2

• Styles are sorted into these Styles are sorted into these broad categories:broad categories:

– Conventional– Rounded– Earth-sheltered

Contemporary and Traditional   • Contemporary styling

– modern appearance, Unusual architectural lines, Use of newer materials.

• Traditional styling

– Typical styles: Early American, Craftsman, Ranch, and French.

Conventional Styles

• Four Types– Curved

• Curved Floor Plan
