33. The Wilder Center - Green for Good What is Sustainable Design? It’s Integrative Whole Systems Thinking + Analysis The Whole is Greater than the Sum of the Parts. Whole Systems - Focused on Relationships and Their Outcomes. - Includes as many Variables as Possible . Analysis - Focused on Objects. - Eliminates as many Variables as Possible. Whole Systems Matrix Analytical Linear Flow Diagram

36. The Wilder Center - Green for Good What is Sustainable Design? It’s Resourceful Identify + Creatively Use Available Resources Resources are NOT always Identified As Resources Example: Stormwater or Rainwater? Stormwater gets a Sewer = Negative Rainwater gets Harvested = Positive The Development installed Stormwater Tanks - Did not provide for Rainwater Harvesting - Construction Cost of Infrastructure was Spent - Wilder Could not justify the cost to Re-construct Lost 3 Potential LEED Points - No Use of Potable Water for Irrigation - Innovative Waste Water (Rainwater for Toilets) - Reduced Stormwater Run-off (LEED Level) Rainwater should be considered a Resource.

41. The Wilder Center - Green for Good What is Sustainable Design? It’s Resourceful Identify + Creatively Use Available Resources Where’s the Solar? Where’s the Wind Turbine? Example: Energy Efficiency First Excel Energy Design Assistance – A Free Site Resource - Energy Efficiency Cost 1/3 as much as Renewable Energy - More Carbon / Pollution Reduction for the investment. - Best Operations Payback; Not as Inspiring or Readily Visible. LEED: 6-7 Points Energy Optimization 1 Point Green Energy (Excel Wind Source)

They always have losers and are called war…NBA, Wall Street and politics. We play Infinite games to play; they have no losers because the object of the game is to keep playing. Infinite Games are called family, culture, tree planting, storytelling, community, <sustainable design> Paul Hawken – Blessed Unrest “ There are two kinds of Games in the world. Games that end and games that don’t. There are finite games and infinite games.
