What is GREEN?

“Green” is a term used to describe a host of strategies aimed at improving the efficiency

of resources or energy and the health characteristics of interior spaces or manufacturing processes.

It does not signify arriving at a certain “state of green” or “state of sustainability” but is both a relative and unquantifiable term.

Green Scoring tools attach arbitrary point values to combinations of strategies in order to grade the participants. There is no arrival

point at a state of GREEN.

What is GREEN?

Major Areas of Green BUILDING Strategies:

SITE/ECOLOGY WATER EFFICIENCY ENERGY AND ATMOSPHERE MATERIALS ENVIRONMENTAL AIR QUALITY

Other Sectors, such as manufacturing, a local Government or a School system have their own “Core Issues”



The most accepted definition of Sustainability suggests that what we do must allow future generations to have the same resources and opportunity which we possess. At the rate we are digging up and burning the planet, and the slowness with which we are responding to these issues, it is apparent this will not be the case for our children or theirs.

We must at the very least, find ways to develop the science, technology and educational knowledge-base that will become the foundation for the next

generation's continued effort to transition to sustainability.

What is Sustainability?



The term, Sustainability represents a relatively new field of endeavor, even though some earlier cultures (and even a few current ones) had an intrinsic understanding of the Earth's "not being owned" by the current generation.

Compare it to the field of Integrated Medicine. What we have today is not "healthcare" at all, but "disease care". Real Healthcare would be much less expensive.

So sustainability, once understood, will be much less expensive than our non-sustainable planning, construction, infrastructure, and manufacturing processes.

Our construction industry, for example is "Building Code" based. This promotes the construction of buildings which are the worst allowable under the law and, as such, are the most expensive to our society from an holistic point of view. As in Integrated Medicine, we must look at the whole picture (an holistic point of view) to fully understand "cost" and "value".

The Jevon Paradox states that technological progress that increases the efficiency with which a resource is used, tends to increase (rather than decrease) the rate of

consumption of that resource.

1960 Where are we now?

HINT:

(2009)



There is invisible writing on the back of the diploma you will receive, and in case you didn’t bringlemon juice to decode it, I can tell you what it says: You are Brilliant, and the Earth is Hiring. The

earth couldn’t afford to send recruiters or limos to your school. It sent you rain, sunsets, ripecherries, night blooming jasmine, and that unbelievably cute person you are dating. Take the hint.

And here’s the deal: Forget that this task of planet-saving is not possible in the time required. Don’tbe put off by people who know what is not possible. Do what needs to be done, and check to see if

it was impossible only after you are done.

Paul Hawken, The Commencement Address University of Portland, May 3, 2009

240 gal @2.50/gal= $598$4500 = 7.5 Years $598

What is the actual cost to taxpayers of interest and principal on the borrowed $4500?What is the Embodied Energy required to produce and ship the new car? (Hint: Assembly alone yields 2,645 lbs of CO2)What is the energy required to dispose of the old car?How many more miles will to owner drive in his new car than he did in his old one?What is the lost “opportunity cost” of the principal and interest money spent on the new car? (ie. you could have doubled the insulation in your house)How many more appropriate questions could we ask?
