A reflection :

picturing G R E E N

�Where are we now?

� DRIVING GREEN: outside factors, inside factors

�Our familiarity, readiness and reasons for embracing GREEN

� the PEOPLE, our TECHNOLOGY/RESOURCES, our PROCESSES

�Where are we heading?

� Commitment to “triple bottom line” measurement of success – assessing economic, environmental and social performance

GOING ENVIRO AN OPTION?

the driving forces of environmental stress:

I = P x A x T (Ehrlich & Holdens, 1971)

Total environmental resource use (leading to wasteful emissions) is

a multiplicative function of population, consumption and technology.

I=impact , P=population, A= affluence, consumption/person

T= technology, average resource intensity of technology used per unit of production

what makes a building green: is there a definitive answer?

� Meet a specific green building rating system requirement and guidelines:

� the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certification, Green Globes, administered by the Green Building Initiative, and the Federal Sustainable Buildings Principles.

� Most systems rate by awarding points

� These rating systems are usually flexible—they allow builders flexibility to meet the green threshold by accumulating a minimum number of points from any of the various categories.

� achieving certification as a green building does not necessarily have to involve energy-efficient design, construction, or operation.

� Important that investors who intend to develop or purchase green properties, understand the scoring and methodology underlying the various rating systems.


GREEN = Energy Efficient?

� GREEN STARTS WITH ENERGY EFFICIENCY (Murray 2006 in BOMA Kingsley Quarterly, the Green Issue 2006)

� Why Green Starts with Energy Efficiency (Leslie Cook 2008)• Organizations that are leaders in energy efficiency use 40 percent less energy thancompetitors• Energy efficient buildings emit 35 percent less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere• Energy efficiency provides financial returns that can support future “green” investments

� “Green” does not necessarily mean energy efficient!

� ENERGY OPTIMIZATION as an important step towards GREENER BUILDINGS

� How to reduce energy consumption, by how much, by when?

GBI criteria

� The Green Building Index (GBI) rating system assesses the impact of a new building on its environment based on a set of criteria.

� There are 6 assessment criteria:

• Energy Efficiency• Indoor Environmental Quality• Sustainable Site Planning and Management• Materials and Resources• Water Efficiency• Innovation

GBI Try Again Certified Silver Gold Platinum

For linked houses, apartments, condominiums, townhouses, semi-detached and bungalows.

Emphasis on sustainable site planning & management, followed by energy efficiency, so as to encourage developers and home owners to consider the environmental quality of homes and their inhabitants through better site selection, provisions of public transport access, increased community services and connectivity, as well as improved infrastructure.

LEARNING FROM OTHERSProduce greener buildings

Green existing buildings (Green Retrofit)

OUR MOVE FORWARD:learning from others

- post occupancy studies on Energy Edge project, USA (initiated in 1985)

- Post Occupancy Review of Buildings and their Engineering (PROBE) UK

beyond PERFORMANCE PREDICTION


LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCES OF OTHERS

Simple measures


simple practices

� Know where energy is being consumed.

� identify low- and no-cost green practices that have short payback periods, yet have a significant impact on the value of the building.

� pay close attention to past and future energy use, especially since utilities typically comprise the largest share of operating expenses and therefore have direct bearing on the value of the building.

� Submetering provides a first step toward paying attention to over-standard energy usage. This is particularly important for specialized tenants like first floor retail, data centers and call centers – those areas whose operations extend beyond specified building operating hours, and whose leases require them to pay their pro rata share of those additional utility costs. To track all this information, property managers use data loggers, sub-meters and monthly utility analysis tracking sheets. This, along with annual energy audits, ensures that they’re staying focused on energy and meeting their goals.

� uses plug load controls. These devices automatically turn off things like task lighting, printers and radios when workstations are unoccupied. Motion sensors that turn off lights in unoccupied areas also help to eliminate the waste of energy being used when no work is being done.

� Other less obvious practices can also have a significant effect on lowering energy usage. As an example, Fischer points to policy changes in janitorial service. At many properties, block cleaning has become a de facto green practice, saving energy by having teams clean sections of the building, rather than every individual floor all at once. The firm is also experimenting with day cleaning, moving custodial work to standard operating times of the building rather than at night, which allows electrical use – particularly lighting and air conditioning – to be sharply curtailed in the evening hours.

Lighting energy conservation

What measure/s to adopt?

SYSTEM SOLUTION: Lighting retrofit means:

� photo sensors;

� more light switches;

� occupancy sensors

BEHAVIOUR CHANGE:

� campaign to achieve deeper savings through engagement of employees

� use Energy Information System (EIS) to provide immediate feedback

Energy Strategy and Management in Companies


GREEN drivers

FROM THE GROUND UP

(Lorie Damon, BOMA International 2006)

� “Throughout the industry, property managers – not asset and portfolio managers or investors –most often drive the implementation of green initiatives. Individual managers, working in tandem with people like building engineers and local contractors, are best positioned to understand which initiatives will work at an individual asset. Moreover, they are discovering that a large investment of capital is often not a requirement to make a building more environmentally friendly”.


prioritise the measures



Energy Strategy and Management in Companies

5 robust steps (Energy Star, 2011)

� Master the fundamentals of energy efficiency.Build an energy efficiency culture through executive leadership:appointing an empowered corporate energy director and team, set aggressive goals, measure and track energy performance for all operations, and establish accountability and review and recognition systems across the business.

� Take both a longer and a broader view of investments and strategic decisions about energy.Make major company strategic decisions (e.g., acquisitions, technology choices, and facility location) with energy cost, use, and supply in mind. Balance more assured returns of energy project investments against lower initial returns across a longer timehorizon. See the entire Energy Value Chain, including upstream inputs from suppliers (into internal operations) and downstream outputs to customers (from internal operations).

� Search out business transformation opportunities in the way the company manages, procures, and uses energy. Frame energy as a lever for positive growth and change within the business, not simply a cost. Make the most of the strategicvalue of energy by thinking in terms of “Embedded Energy” and “Energy Productivity.” Be innovative and aggressive in pursuingand publicizing new product and service offerings based on new energy technologies and supplies.

� Prepare contingent strategies for emergent future scenarios.Rehearse specific aspects of the future, including substantial and sustained swings in energy price and supply, severe weather events, and penalties or incentives around energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Actively manage exposure to risks, and ready plans to take full advantage of what the future brings. Monitor for signs of which “road ahead” is emerging.

� Take personal action.Corporate leaders can take a number of “to-do” actions today for tomorrow. All can be taken individually, in companies, on corporate boards, and across industries.
