2 – Energy Gurus • Net carbon

• Total carbon

• Zero energy

• Passive energy

• Net-zero energy

• Alternative Energy

1 – Green Groups • Comfort

• Living roofs

• Living walls

• Indoor air quality

• Oxygen depletion

• CO & CO2 Conversion

4 – Holistic Engineers

• Longevity

• Better Durability

• Disaster-resistance

• Using less to do more

• Best cost/performance

• Lowest embodied energy

• Smart-change optimizing new

materials-methods-systems

• Offset constant increases in material usage

3 - Environmentalists

• Recyclable

• Less waste

• Easily reused

• Easy to regenerate

• Low carbon footprint

• Resource Conservation

• Low impact on resources

• Conservation for use by future generations

• There is no impact free material

• There is no impact free building

• There is no impact free consumption

• Rich nations must do more with less

• Poor nations must consume wisely

• The Largest populations have the greatest impact

• Rich & Poor See Different Environmental Culprits

• Identify Their Problems to find Their Solutions

• Rich Nations

– Have excessive consumption

– Need less consumption - Difficult

• Poor Nations

– Have unwise consumption

– Need efficient consumption - Easier

Where is material usage greatly increasing ? Where will be the greatest consumption ?

Is the Population Explosion the result of Higher birth rates, or Lower death rates ?

• 7 Billion current world population

• 2 Billion without housing, food, & water (29%)

• 75 Million annual population growth (20 M Homes)

• Insufficient food production by 2050

• There will never be impact-free consumption

• Housing – A major offender, is overusing natural resources, can’t keep pace, and lacks enough trained workers – What can we do about this ?

• IF everyone on the planet consumed like

– Americans, it would take 9.3 planets to sustain them;

– British, it would take 3.2 planets;

– French, it would take 2.7 planets;

– Chinese, it would take 0.9 planets

• Greatest Rich Nation Excesses

– Energy – Water – Food – Housing

• Greatest Poor Nation Needs

– Housing – Food – Water - Energy

• Newer - Approaches & Methods

• Better - Materials & Utilization

• Faster - Systems & Production

• Lower - Energy Waste

• Less - Cost

• Not Just Re-packaged or Cosmetic Do-overs

• Re-thinking

• Better Analysis

• Supply Relationships

• Overcoming Traditions

• Concerns for the Planet

• Re-education and Training

• Redistributing Natural Resources

• Conservation for Future Generations

• Or, Rich Nations Win - Poor Nations Lose

• Deforestation – Trees

(Lumber)

• Strip Mines – Coal

(Steel)

• Pit Mines – Minerals

(Concrete)

• Find Alternatives Energies

– For: Wood, Oil, Steel,

– Concrete, Coal, Gas

• 20 Million New Homes/Year

– Build stronger

– Inventory to build

• Three 2,000 sq ft (193 sq m) homes

• Replace lumber with composites

• More Accurate Methods

– Assemble on Jigs

– Under Supervision

• Least Cost Production Line

– 2 sides for assembly

– Workers inside and outside

• High production

– Easy to start a new business

• Faster Assembly

• Least Expensive

• Stronger - Safer

• Longer-lasting

• Simpler

• Quicker

• Perfect

• Unsurpassed Accuracy

• Affordable Anywhere
