Within the category of materials efficiency, most green building programs identify “environmentally
preferable materials.”
![Page 22: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Of the 83 green building programs operating in the United States:
Over 90% reward use of certified wood
Virtually all reward use of recycled content, low or no VOC, and local products. Identification of product attributes based on life cycle assessment is likely to increase in importance.

![Page 27: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Which of the Following is “Green”:
New car that gets 100 mpg?Bamboo Flooring?Compact Fluorescent bulbs?Recyclable plastic bottles?Energy Star house?
![Page 28: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

![Page 30: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Is it Just Me Or…
Did you ever wonder what happens to the approximately 100 MILLION CUBIC FEET of “rubber”
that wears off of tires in the US every year??
![Page 31: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Are Bamboo Products Green?Depends on the source of the bamboo, and the impacts of
bamboo manufacturing!
![Page 32: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Recyclable Plastic Bottles?
Well… consider these facts!
QuickTime™ and aTIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
![Page 35: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Since 1997…
Recycling of Water Bottles has increased from about 1.1 Billion bottles per year to between 6 and 7 Billion bottles per year!!
Unfortunately….
![Page 36: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Since 1997…
The number of water bottles in the waste stream has grown from 2.5 Billion bottles per year to approximately 38 Billion bottles per year!!
![Page 37: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Energy Efficient Houses?
![Page 39: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Wellllllllllllllllllllllll…
![Page 40: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Since the 1970’s Energy Crisis…
Per person Electrical use is UP 50%House size is UP 50%, andFloor area per person is UP 50%(use of coal, wood as energy sources are
also up)Total Oil usage is up 50%
![Page 41: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
So has energy efficiency helped??
![Page 42: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
So what do we do??
![Page 43: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
We must examine our Core Assumptions carefully!
For Example…
![Page 44: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
What material is…
Produced in an automatic mfg facility,Utilizes waste products such as CO2,Factory runs almost exclusively on solar power, andIs 100% recyclable?
![Page 45: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Wood
![Page 46: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
So it would be reasonable to consider “wood” green!
But does this mean wood products are green?
![Page 47: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Not Necessarily!
It depends…….on a lot of other factors involved in the
manufacture of the final product.
![Page 48: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
So How Do We Decide Whether a Product is Green or
Not?
![Page 49: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Key Point to Understand:
NO PRODUCT IS GREEN….green exists only in relation to another product, e.g.
“greener.”
![Page 50: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

Life Cycle Assessment
IS Comprehensive…but it is also:– Complex– Specific to an exact series of processes– May Assume Post-consumption Behaviors

Organic Broke Ground, Forest Certification is Building the
Path, Green Building is Creating the Destination!

So if we are trying to build a Green Building:
Life Cycle Assessment can be a valuable toolSelecting Materials that have been independently certified as sustainable can help alsoBut…..
![Page 67: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Perhaps this is the wrong discussion anyway?
![Page 68: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Basic Tenants of Green
Design for the SiteDesign for the UserMinimize Energy and Water Usage (reduce cost)Minimize Hazards (maximize health)Use materials that minimize impact on the planet

Are these unreasonable or illogical?
![Page 70: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Virtually all current green building programs assume human behavior will remain static - an extremely unlikely
possibility!
![Page 71: It’s Not Easy Being Green! · It’s Not Easy Being Green! Jeff Howe CEO- Fullerton Companies Founder-Dovetail Partners SWST Annual Meeting - Boise, Idaho June 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f5563fb7e63cc36cb42b678/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Perhaps then it is time for a NEW Green program, based on actual performance of the
building irregardless of behavior!
