CO2 EMMISSIONSBY SECTOR
Presenter
Presentation Notes
This chart begins to put the impact of Buildings on the environment into perspective Buildings account for 39% of CO2 emissions in the US and rising Notice that industry has paid more attention and their trend line reflects that Buildings also have a long life span – some 25 to 100 years So the decisions we make today will have a profound impact on the future

Unlike Cars, buildings are a long term investment. What we choose to do today will have an impact for generations Click This block represents all of the existing building stock in America, residential and commercial. 250 BB s.f. Click It is estimated that in the next 20 years or so, we will demolish 50BB s.f., and not replace it. Click …leaving 200 BB s.f. Click Of that 200BB, it is expected that 150BB will receive a major renovation (meaning at least 2 major energy systems in the building are replaced like the mech system, the lighting, the skin, etc) Click And in addition to that, 200 BB new s.f. will be added. There is the value proposition for all of us. In the next 20 or so years, we will touch or build over ¾ of all of America’s building stock, which we now know has a huge impact on climate. We are in a position, as an industry, to make a big difference.

“2030”NET ZERO
Presenter
Presentation Notes
LISA How will we achieve the end goal of the 2030 challenge We think one way is by looking at buildings differently. This graphic represents a continuum of rating systems looking at the metrics they use and comparing them to achieve other. At the far left of the graph are typical code buildings Interesting that Silver and gold are in the middle as high performance green buildings, with LEED Platinum in the pursuing sustainability section. What I want to introduce today is a standard launched by the Cascadia chapter of the US Green building Council called the Living Building Challenge and … even it is not fully sustainable – you’ll see why as I lay it out. But it’s close. And then there’s the next stretch goal – Restorative buildings – buildings that give back more than they take… more energy cleaner water Cleaner air etc

Clark These boxes represent the number of completed projects that are about 50% more efficient than standard practice, which puts them in striking distance of net zero. Again, it is hard to know how many projects meet this criteria, but NBI has done a lot of research on this, and we think there are about 200 to 250 in the US.

Presentation Notes
Clark There is no way to know how many projects are seriously addressing net zero right now. 30-50 is a good guess for the number of commercial buildings that are really serious about this outcome.

Clark We do know that represent the currently completed commercial projects that are demonstrated net zero energy use. We have found information about a few more, so I think there are about 10 of these, not 7. 10 is a better graphic unit, anyway.

LIVING BUILDING CHALLENGE
Imagine a building:• that is as elegant and efficient as
a flower.
• that is informed by the eco–region’s characteristics
• that generates all of its ownenergy with renewable resources.
• that captures and treats all of itswater on site.
• that uses resources efficiently and formaximum beauty.

The Rules 6 “Petals” Only Prerequisites, no points Temporary exceptions exist Projects must be fully operational � � “It’s about what you do, not what you say you’ll do” So what are the rules… The rules and the standard is much easier to understand than LEED, mostly because it’s all or nothing… petals Pre-reqs exceptions 12 months post oc When your entire standard is performance based, and all-or-nothing in its approach –. There’s no stepping back or down later in the process. It’s full on from the very beginning. You all are going to have an ever-increasing role in the creation of buildings because of the integration that will be required up front.

FINANCIAL STUDY
Presenter
Presentation Notes
How by definition the numbers will be wrong the interesting thing is what we find out The task of changing cultural and social paradigms falls to those who are willing to disprove what is perceived as impossible. In the two years since the Living Building Challenge was announced, here has been phenomenal interest from clients and design firms attracted by the simplicity of the concept and an appreciation for the new milestone it defines on the path to a restorative future . Often the question that arises after clients being to comprehend the magnitudes of the building a living building is “ what is the cost premium” and the payback. This study commissioned by the Cascadia chapter of the US Green building council takes aim at that very question. For the study a team led by SERA Architects joined by Skanska USA building, Gerding Edlen Development, Interface Engineering and the New Buildings institute conceptually transformed nine existing LEED gold buildings into Living Building using real construction data and documents.

LB FINANCIAL STUDY
BUILDING TYPES
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The first task of the study team was to select base buildings with credible cost estimating data that could be utilized when conceptually transforming the projects to Living buildings. To normalize the projects as much as possible all projects were in development around Portland, Or and all (except the single family residence) were pursuing or had received some level of LEED certification. LEED Gold was selected as the metric for the reference buildings in order to establish a reasonable base sustainability threshold for projects before they were redesigned to meet the Living Building Challenge. Three factors were of primary importance when selecting the reference buildings to be used: Availability of cost data Project’s LEED status Project location

KEY FINDINGS
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Living Buildings can be built cost effectively in today’s market driven economy given the rising costs of energy and water. The first cost premiums for many building types are significantly lower than what many would predict for an energy and water independent structure. The degree of cost effectiveness depends on the interplay of four factors: client, climate, scale and building use – as originally thought by the study team. The study found that two additional factors: 1) the availability of incentives and 2) the costs of energy and water, can tip the scales for economic competitiveness.

affect the initial budget for the base building which in turn affects the first cost premium for Living Buildings. Living Buildings are more likely to be built in market sectors where building owners and developers also consider operational costs, as opposed to those that are more first cost driven. Public buildings (University Classroom and Elementary School) which are typically designed and constructed as fifty to one hundred year buildings, had the lowest cost premium, followed by buildings built by green developers for a market niche, followed by market driven developments, with speculative buildings costing the most.
