Where Green Value Creation Lies
Infrastructure with “right” scale.
High energy-consumption.
Projects with best return on investment.
Returns on Investment Systems and Infrastructure Energy Consumption

The Lever: Green Design & Construction
Greening of buildings has more benefit in resource consumption and environmental impact than any other industry sector.
Leverage comes from incorporating design (using integrated architecture and engineering methods) with combined financing of construction and operating cost.
Efforts are either supported by requirements, tax code, tax credits and funding or they are ratcheted back by the same.

Delivering Value from Green Solutions builds on existing conditions, systems and supporting infrastructure, and works with underlying financial conditions/ assets—to achieve economic returns Case: A Green Growth Solution at Kripalu Center A private alternative educational institution with growing demand for its programs, a beautiful but run-down campus, and very low margins (net operating income) developed a long-term, high ROI leveraged and GREEN solution to its growth. Solution Innovation Baseline

Baseline: Long Term Growing Demand Experienced steady growth from adults seeking both personal development and professional education – primarily in the growing LOHAS* market.
*LOHAS is Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability , a market segment focused on health and fitness, the environment, personal development, sustainable living, and social justice. In the U.S. LOHAS is estimated at 19% of the US population, including 43 million consumers who spent over $200 Billion in 2008.
LOHAS is a trademark of the Natural Marketing Institute
Actual Bookings as % of Bed Capacity (36 months)

Baseline: Long Term Growing Demand LOHAS is Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability Reduction LOHAS Market Share 2008 to 2009 is due to new definition of segments.

Baseline: Complex Demand Patterns Demand varied by weekday as well as by Season Weekday Demand Pattern by Student Type

Baseline: Complex Demand Patterns Demand varied by weekday as well as by Season Seasonal Demand Pattern by Month

Baseline : Existing Facility Antiquated Primary Facility:50 years old, est. $15M deferred maintenance. Master Plan renovation est. $40M.

Innovation: Growth and Risk Modeling Balance sheet required a debt-funded solution. ROI, cash flow and risk were all mission critical. Forecasting Prediction Model (as % of Capacity)

Innovation: Growth and Risk Modeling
Balance sheet required a debt-funded solution.
ROI, cash flow and risk were all mission critical.
Risk Assessment for ROI and Cash Flow Current Trend vs Low Growth vs Disrupted Growth

Innovation: Master Plan & Model Expansion Site combined beauty, functionality & environment. Expansion utilized current facility & future plan.

Innovation: Application of Green Design Site, Orientation and Shape of Building

Solution: Design & Evaluate Options
Evaluated alternate construction methods, facility size/capacity and environmental footprints.

Solution: Design & Evaluate Options
Evaluated impact of options on margins.
Projected Impact on Margins Borrowing Estimates at Schematic Design (include infrastructure).

Solution: Passive and Integrated Green
Radiant Heating/Cooling Cast in Concrete

Solution: Passive and Integrated Green
Green Roof on Connector and Wood Cladding/ Day Lighting System &
Overhangs

Solution: Economy, Efficiency, Beauty
Rooms 40% of a std. hotel, but filled with Natural Light.
Natural Linoleum floors.

Solution: Economy, Efficiency, Beauty
Ultra efficient Bath Fixtures. In-room Chilled Beam.

An Ark to the Future:
Beauty, Function, Green and Economically Justified

Solution: New versus Existing Maximize Deliverables Minimize Cost/Space/Impact
Building footprint 1/12th (approx 5,400 ft2)
Square footage 1/5 th (34,500 ft 2 )
Housing Capacity 1/3 rd (160 guests/80 rooms)
Revenue Potential 2/3 rd (margins 80% higher)
Solution: Financial and Operational
Project Covers its entire cost ($16 M), required existing infrastructure upgrades ($4 M) and contributes $ Millions for reinvestment ($2-3M/yr after year 3).
Handles future growth for 7-10 years.
Allows renovation of existing facility on a larger scale and faster pace.

In conclusion: Combining Strategy and Analysis with Integrative Design and Systems Thinking enables a competitive edge in facilities performance—and for the nation
