Green Building History • 1900’s Passive Systems • Edison invented the long lasting filament • humans averaged 10 hours of sleep, now we average 6 to 7 • 1930’s Enclosed glass and steel structures • 1960’s International style “glass box” • 1973 OPEC oil embargo • 1975 AIA Committee on Energy • 1977 Department of Energy commissioned • 1980’s Pre-fab wall, water reclamation, mod construction, “sick building syndrome”
Green Building History • 1992 AIA Environmental Resource Guide • 1992 Earth Summit • 1993 “The Greening of the White House” • 1993 Birth of the U.S. Green Building Council • 1998 Clinton’s “Greening” executive orders • 1998 LEED Version 1.0 • 2004 3940+ LEED registered projects
Buildings consume 1/3 of the earths resources create 1/3 of the earths pollution
Raw Material Extraction3 billion tons of raw materials¼ wood harvested
EnergyBuildings = 1/3 total energy use (2/3’s electricity)30% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions
Water Consumption is increasing x2 the rate of population growth 12% of potable water in the U.S.
Ecological and Human Toxicity The Great Lakes - mercury and pcb’s
A Renewable Materials Economy? Carpet sold in 2002 1,800,000,000 sq yd Contribution to disposal 5% = 74,250,000 lbs 136 million tons of construction and demolition waste in the U.S. (approx. 2.8 lbs/person/day)
What is Green ? • Reducing impact on human health & environment through better design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal • Increasing the efficiency and use of energy, water, and materials
Product Information • Features • Life Cycle Stories • Eco Language and Names • Products that are “free of” or what is “inside” • Suggest third party endorsements
U.S. Green Building Council • National nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC • Diverse membership of organizations • Consensus driven • Committee based product development • Developer and administrator of the LEED Green Building Rating System
A leading-edge system for designing, constructing, and certifying the world’s greenest buildings.
