The document summarizes 5 emerging trends in green building: 1) Building commissioning and monitoring to improve building energy performance, 2) Integrated design processes to make efficient decisions early in design, 3) Issues around water usage and conservation, 4) Making cities more resilient to threats like climate change and peak oil, and 5) Implementing smart grids and appliances to optimize energy usage. Each trend is briefly described along with some challenges to address in each area.

3. 1 BUILDING COMMISSIONING & MONITORING

4. 1 BUILDING COMMISSIONING AND MONITORING: Buildings Do Not Perform as Modelled Building energy models are just projections of how efficient a building could be under a given set of circumstances and assumptions. It omits add-ins, installation errors, and human behaviour, etc...Stephen Carpenter - Enermodal Engineering

22. 3 WATER Water is the next carbon.3 WATER: Headlines An E.P.A. study last year estimated that$335 billion US would be needed simply to maintain the nation’s tap water systems in coming decades. – NY Times

23. In 2007, the government of Alberta approved the withdrawal of 119.5 billion gallons of water for tar sands extraction. – The Dominion

24. Canada ranks a dismal 28th among the 29 nations of the OECD in terms of per capita water consumption. Only Americans use more water than Canadians. - www.environmentalindicators.com3 WATER: Challenges Individual Metering
