What is Sustainability/Green?

ASHRAE Defintion:

“meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

SUSTAINABILITYPracticing sustainability means adding an extra layer of Practicing sustainability means adding an extra layer of

scrutiny to every decision made about the facility without scrutiny to every decision made about the facility without compromising the comfort of the customers or adding compromising the comfort of the customers or adding another level of complexity of operations to building another level of complexity of operations to building

A Historic Opportunity

•As of 2010, the total U.S. building stock is approximately 275 billion square feet.

•During normal economic times, we tear down approximately 1.75 billion square feet of buildings each year.

A

• Every year, we renovate approximately 5 billion square feet.

A

• Every year, we build new approximately 5 billion square feet.

•Herein lies the hope. By the year 2035, approximately three-quarters (75%) of the built environment will be either new or renovated [1].• This transformation over the next 25 years represents a historic

opportunity for the architecture and building community to avoid dangerous climate change.

U.S. Green Building Council

A non- profit organization committed to expanding sustainable building practices

15,000 member organizations including corporations, governmental agencies, nonprofits and others from throughout the building industry

Question 4What can you do today?What can you do today?

http://www.msu.edu/~howardp/



What can you do today? Get an Energy Star rating for

your building.

Review your energy/utility usage and know where it is used.

Do you recycle?

Review what you purchase. Is it sustainable with recycled content?

Establish policies and procedures for maintenance and keep records.

Ethical Ponderings The greenest building is

the one that doesn't get built.

Sustainable Development is an oxymoron, a conflict of interest.

Do you recycle?

It's not really easy being green, otherwise we'd all be doing it and there wouldn't be any greenwash.

Are We Responsible for the Protection of the

World??
