5 of the worldrsquos population uses 25 of the worlds energy

ldquoSustainabilityrdquo has been defined by the Brundtland Commission 1987 as

ldquomeeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needsrdquo

In spite of our best efforts the US Economy as a whole is massively inefficient Only six percent of materials actually end up in products Total waste in the United States excluding wastewater now exceeds 50 trillion pounds per year

In global markets US Companies can no longer assume that the US sets environmental standards Europe has become the leader passing tough laws for a wide range of products including chemicals automobiles electronics tools and cosmetics All automobiles and electronics either manufactured in or sold in Europe must be taken back by the manufacturer at their end of life

The old decision model is based on a balance between cost schedule and quality However designers also need to become equally familiar with the effect their decisions have on the environment and human health

The amount of material that is ldquometabolizedrdquo by buildings and their supportive infrastructure surpasses automobiles food and energy together In fact buildings are the largest users

of energy

What does that mean

It means making buildings and infrastructure that use land material energy and water resources efficiently that improve the health of ecosystems and that address health issues relating to the indoor environment

Global Goals

bull Waste Nothingbull Adapt to Placebull Fit Form to Functionbull Use ldquoFreerdquo Resourcesbull Renewable energy local sourcebull Optimize Rather Than Maximizebull Reduce reliance on mechanical systemsbull Create a Livable Environment

Shift in Perceptions

bull Did you knowhellip If every household in the United States replaced one 100-watt incandescent light bulb with an ENERGY Star qualified compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) it would prevent enough pollution to equal the removal of one million cars from the road while providing savings of $30 in energy cost over the life of each CFL bulb

bull If each residence in America changed out five of their bulbs at their home they could save 20 power plants

To start a sustainable way of life we

need to stop consuming the Earthrsquos

non-renewable resources as if there

were no tomorrow

Because Tomorrow IS HERE

Design Control- Can you be a little bit pregnant

What is a sustainable building

bull Uses key resources more efficiently ndash energy water materials and land

bull Reduces ecological loading ndash greenhouse gases ozone-depleting substances wastes

bull Creates healthier environments for people to live work and learn

bull Has lower overall lifecycle costs

Green Building

ldquoAn integrated framework of design construction operations and demolition practices that encompass the environmental economic and social impacts of buildingsrdquo

ldquoBuilding practices recognizing the interdependence of the natural and built environment and seek to minimize the use of energy water and other natural resources while providing a healthy and productive indoor environmentrdquo

What Makes a Building Green

A green building also known as a sustainable building is a structure that is designed built renovated operated or reused in an ecological and resource-efficient manner Green buildings are designed to meet certain objectives such as protecting occupant health improving employee productivity using energy water and other resources more efficiently and reducing the overall impact to the environment

Green building

is the practice of increasing the efficiency with which buildings use resources mdash energy water and materials mdash while reducing building impacts on human health and the environment through better siting design construction operation maintenance and removal mdash the complete building life cycle

Design Control- Can you be a little bit pregnant

What is a sustainable building

bull Uses key resources more efficiently ndash energy water materials and land

bull Reduces ecological loading ndash greenhouse gases ozone-depleting substances wastes

bull Creates healthier environments for people to live work and learn

bull Has lower overall lifecycle costs

Green Building

ldquoAn integrated framework of design construction operations and demolition practices that encompass the environmental economic and social impacts of buildingsrdquo

ldquoBuilding practices recognizing the interdependence of the natural and built environment and seek to minimize the use of energy water and other natural resources while providing a healthy and productive indoor environmentrdquo

What Makes a Building Green

A green building also known as a sustainable building is a structure that is designed built renovated operated or reused in an ecological and resource-efficient manner Green buildings are designed to meet certain objectives such as protecting occupant health improving employee productivity using energy water and other resources more efficiently and reducing the overall impact to the environment

Green building

is the practice of increasing the efficiency with which buildings use resources mdash energy water and materials mdash while reducing building impacts on human health and the environment through better siting design construction operation maintenance and removal mdash the complete building life cycle

Why Be Green

bull 90 of our time is spent indoorsbull Worldwide buildings consume nearly 40 of

the worlds energy 25 of its wood and 15of its water

bull 40 of landfill debris is from building construction alonebull Humans use 95 tons of coal 40000 gallons of oil and 3

million cubic feet of natural gas every second of every day

Green Building

bull Whole-house approach to viewing building systems and components to achieve human environmental and technical goals

bull Reduce energy usebull Improve indoor air qualitybull Responsible efficient use of landbull Reduce construction material wastebull Minimize water usage

Green Building

bull Sustainable

bull DurableAdaptable

bull Building beyond the codes

bull Build for the occupant

bull Whole systems approach

Barriers to Green

bull Codes

bull Education

bull Cost

bull Products not available

bull Breaking tradition

Reasons to build green

ldquoBuilding to code means that if a building were designed any worse it would be against the lawrdquo

What Makes a Product Green

bull Contains recycled or salvaged content

bull Preserves natural resources

bull Avoids toxic or other emissions

bull Reduces construction impact

bull Saves water or energy

bull Promotes healthy indoor environments
