Barriers to Innovation – Market acceptance

BUILDING CODE STRUCTUREWhat’s the Point of it all?

• Enhance Health and Safety of the Occupants and the Public that are exposed to Developments

• Manage Projected Demand on Available Infrastructure

• Reduce Risk of Economic Loss in a Region

• ASSURED Health and Safety of the Occupants and the Public that are exposed to Developments

• Manage ACTUAL Demand on Available Infrastructure

• Increase Economic COMPETITIVENESSof a Region

• Create Economic Incentive for INNOVATION by Building Owners and Operators

• REDUCE Environmental Footprint of Building and Regional

BARRIERS TO CUTTING EDGE CHANGEBarriers to Implementation of deep conservation are primarily financial and lack of transparency

• 3~5 year payback expectations will continue to frustrate deep renovation – STUPID MATH!

• Specifics on bad actors is lacking – no accountability for building operations over time

• Mandatory Performance Disclosure will help to create the market

• Outcome based code could:

• Help property owners better negotiate green leases with performance participation by tenants

• Encourage innovation in one of the greatest issues of the generation (water)

• Provide better baselines for measurement and verification

OTHER SIGNIFICANT IMPEDIMENTS TO DESIGN/CONSTRUCTION IMPROVEMENTSMaterial Availability and Local Sourcing

• Elimination of Hazardous Materials from Building Environments

• Carcinogens, Endocrine Disruptors, Bio-toxins, Persistent Chemical Component Not Found in Nature

• Loss of Local Access to Construction Materials

• No overhead fans made in the US or Canada

• Heavy Steel Shapes come from Czech Republic, Korea, China

• Many, Many examples

US / CANADA COLLABORATIONCROSS BOARDER SHARING IS BECOMING COMMON PLACE

• Standardizing Appraisal practices – Royal Surveyors/Appraisers

• Standardized Accounting Practices – FASB (The good and the bad)

• Cascadia Green Building Council is active in both countries

• USGBC, CAGBC

• The Natural Step

• International Living Building Institute – Living Building Challenge
