OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT


25/63

THE GREENEST BUILDINGS

....are the ones that already exist!

Demolition and new construction consumes about 3times the energy required to retrofit an old building

Demolishing a 2000 square foot house sends 60 tonsof material to the landfill

..it takes about 65 years for an energy efficient new

building to save the amount of energy lost in demol-ishing an existing building National Trust for His-toric Preservation

Reusing existing buildings is a significantway to practice the three Rs on a muchbigger scale, and new life for old buildings

helps to reduce urban sprawl, conserveenergy, stimulate investment and promotesustainable communities

Restoration and Preservation is a great way to reduceour carbon footprint while protecting heritage values.


28/63

$$ THE ECONOMIC ARGUMENT $$

Restoration projects are labour intensive and createmore local jobs whereas new construction consumes

many times more greenhouse gases in the manufac-ture, transportation and assembly of new materialsthat are often imported from elsewhere.

WOOD FIRST?

There's more than just a little irony inthe idea, that as we prepare to

demonstrate to the rest of the worldhow to build commercial buildings

with wood, that our first order ofbusiness would be to demolish a 100

year old wood building.
