Problem—Conclusions • Buildings in operation are major contributors to carbon emissions • Relying on predictions of energy performance and code is not enough for new buildings • Improving the existing building stock is an imperative to meeting 2030 Challenge
GBI Suggestions for Cities • Set goals for existing building stock • Emphasize benchmarking using actual building performance data---such as the EPA’s Target of 75 or greater • Take Green Globes for Continual Improvement for a test drive… Join the U.S. Pilot of Green Globes for Continual Improvement of Existing Buildings. www.thegbi.org
Our Approach Residential Commercial
Reuse Occupancy PreDesign Construction Design Green Globes System: A Building Life Cycle Approach • Web-based questionnaire’s prompt next steps throughout the nine stages of planning • Project Initiation • Site Analysis • Programming • Schematic Design • Design Development • Constructions Documents • Contracting and Construction • Commissioning • Measured Performance: Continual Improvement of Existing Buildings System generates early assessments to guide improvements in design and operations The Project Loop Verified Rating: Must have third-party verification to be a Green Globes building. This can occur after construction for new buildings or after 1-2 years of operations for existing structures.
