1. Issues on the Horizon in Green Building For NCSU’s Campus Environmental Sustainability Team August 3, 2010 Process Targets Considerations Traci Rose Rider, PhD, LEED AP BD+C

2. Traditional Design Process Process: Increased Emphasis on Integrated Design Image from 7Group (www.sevengroup.com)

3. Process: Increased Emphasis on Integrated Design Integrated Design Process Image from 7Group (www.sevengroup.com) • Team Communication • Charrettes • Community Engagement • Iterative Design

4. Targets: Existing Buildings Integrated Design Process

5. Considerations: LEED & Green Globes References& Resources Site Water Materials Indoor Environmental Quality Energy Misc

7. Living Buildings LEED: It’s green! Living Buildings: No, it’s not.

8. Living Buildings Green Sustainable Regenerative

9. Living Buildings • Site(Limits to Growth, Urban Agriculture, Habitat Exchange, Car Free Living) • Water (Net Zero Water, Ecological Water Flow) • Energy (Net Zero Energy) • Health (Civilized Environment, Healthy Air, Biophilia [Environmental features, Natural shapes and forms, Natural patterns and processes , Light and space, Place-based relationships, Evolved human-nature relationships]) • Materials (Red List, Embodied Carbon Footprint, Responsible Industry, Appropriate Sourcing, Conservation + Reuse) • Equity (Human Scale + Humane Places, Democracy + Social Justice, Rights to Nature) • Beauty (Beauty + Spirit, Inspiration + Education)

10. Sustainable Sites • Site Selection • Pre-Design Assessment and Planning (Vegetation [native, gardening, etc], Outdoor Activities, Vehicular access [ie: construction], Stormwater assessment, Renewable opportunities, Engage stakeholders, etc) • Site Design - Water (irrigation, streams, stormwater) • Site Design - Soil and Vegetation (plant selection, restoration, heat islands, wildfires, etc) • Site Design - Materials Selection (materials onsite, material content, low VOC, sustainable practices, etc) • Site Design - Human Health and Well-Being (education, accessibility, history, social interaction, quiet spaces, etc) • Construction (disturbance, recycling, etc) • Operations and Maintenance (recycling, emissions, etc) • Monitoring and Innovation

11. Lifecycle building is designing buildings to facilitate disassembly and material reuse to minimize waste, energy consumption, and associated greenhouse gas emissions. Living Buildings • Building - a whole building designed for disassembly and material reuse • Existing Buildings • Local Material Sourcing • Product - a building product that facilitates design for disassembly and material reuse • Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy • Carbon Management • Water Efficiency & Quality • Material Optimization • Public and Ecosystem Health Protection
