[Nordic GBC Conference 2013] Ryan Zizzo: LEED in FinlandGBC Finland
LEED in Finland has grown significantly over the past decade. There are currently 98 member companies in the Finland Green Building Council, which was established in 2010. The number of LEED-certified projects in Finland has increased from 5 in 2008 to over 121 registered or certified projects currently. Most projects are certified under LEED NC, CS, or EB:O&M. While awareness and demand for green building is growing, some LEED credits like those related to energy bills, cooling towers, and plumbing fixtures can be more difficult to achieve in the Finnish context.

Startupfest 2013 - Collaborative storytelling - Susan EtlingerStartupfest
Nearly 100 years ago, the French Surrealists invented a game they called "Le Cadavre Exquis" ("Exquisite Corpse"), in which they would collectively create a story using words and images. Today, customers, partners, friends, competitors and others collectively write and share the stories of organizations with which they interact. In this session, industry analyst Susan Etlinger will share examples of how both startups and established brands use social data to create a most holistic picture of their customer's needs, wants and aspirations, and how startup entrepreneurs can use this data to build their brands and develop mutually valuable and sustainable relationships.
The document discusses several global trade and environmental issues:
1) It argues that the US should make concluding the Doha Round of trade negotiations a higher priority to boost economic growth. Completing free trade agreements with Korea, Colombia, and Panama would also help the US economy.
2) It discusses how WTO rules could be used to lower barriers on "green goods" like environmental technologies to help developing countries address climate change. Initiatives like REDD for reducing deforestation could also be building blocks for future climate agreements.
3) Rising food prices are creating food security issues and nationalist trade policies around the world that distort markets. Increased cooperation is needed to sustainably address constraints on natural resources like water

[Nordic GBC Conference 2013] James Drinkwater - Green REbuildingGBC Finland
The European Commission, Parliament, and Council all supported increasing energy renovation of buildings but the final result still missed the 20% target. Member states are required to establish long-term strategies for investing in residential and commercial building renovation that include overviews of national building stocks, identifying cost-effective renovation approaches, policies to stimulate deep renovations, and estimates of expected energy savings. However, barriers like lack of energy literacy, concerns about comfort and appearance, and lack of awareness of programs have prevented further progress toward renovation goals.
From the first of a three-part series about global gas, sponsored by ExxonMobil, DCFR President Jennifer Warren interviewed panelist Mikkal Herberg, research director on Asian energy security at The National Bureau of Asian Research (NBR).

Startupfest 2015: PETER YARED (Sapho) - "Future of" StageStartupfest
The document discusses the rise of the "everything-as-a-service" economic model and its implications. It notes that 15-100 years ago, services like transportation, food delivery, and package pickup either did not exist or were much more limited. Now, many services are available on-demand through apps. The document suggests this model could eventually allow 1 in 3 Americans to not need to work if basic needs were met. It also speculates that in the future, 3D printing may eliminate the status of owning things, and that healthcare could involve daily medical tests and personalized medicine. The document ends by discussing software-as-a-service and containers-as-a-service models.

This document discusses how life insurance can be viewed as an asset within an individual's portfolio. It notes that while life insurance is traditionally thought of as a means to financially protect one's family, it also has the potential to offer tax advantages as a savings and investment vehicle. The document outlines some key advantages life insurance can provide as an asset, such as leveraging premium payments into a sizable death benefit, providing access to cash value that can supplement retirement income, and allowing wealth to be transferred tax-free via its death benefit. It also discusses how life insurance compares to other tax-advantaged assets like Roth IRAs, Roth 401(k)s, municipal bonds, and cash value life insurance in terms of various federal tax

The document discusses the European framework for sustainability in construction works. It outlines several EU directives and initiatives related to energy efficiency, eco-labeling, green public procurement, and resource efficiency for construction products and buildings. It also describes the work of CEN/TC350 in developing horizontal standards for sustainability assessment of buildings and construction products, including frameworks for environmental, social and economic performance assessment and standardized indicators.
Why Bad Data May Be Your Best OpportunityZach Gardner
This document discusses bad data and strategies for improving data quality. It defines bad data as data that is difficult to understand, change, analyze, or govern. Bad data can waste money and limit business. The document recommends starting small data integration projects using a tool called Contivo to capture information and lay the groundwork for improving data architecture over time. Following a roadmap of continued use of Contivo for additional projects will provide insights into an organization's full data landscape and help transition from bad to good data practices. Automating processes, simplifying user experiences, and governing data can help organizations address challenges like rapid data changes and offshore development.

Social networks get bigger. Sensors get smaller. Together, these two things let us track our lives. We collect data both actively (places we check in, quips we tweet, foods we consume, miles we run) and passively (heart rate, asthma inhaler use, sleep patterns.) However you look at it, the move to quantify the self is big news—and big business. But how are today's innovators framing the Quantified Self discussion? How can our species benefit from all of these sensors, and the predictions that analytics can offer?
In this session, we'll take a step back from the details and look at why lifelogging and wearable computing is such a polarizing topic, exciting some and terrifying others. We'll learn how people are using this technology to understand their bodies and minds. We'll discover the connection between technology and mindfulness, and how persuasive technology can generate behavioural outcomes. Ultimately, we'll explore the role of lifelogging as a force for the common good—provided we have the right framework and a moral compass to steer us towards this lofty goal.

EeMAP: Comments to Energy Efficient Mortgages - Juho Maalahti, NordeaGBC Finland
1. Commercial and residential buildings represent an important opportunity for mitigating climate change through increased energy efficiency, as they account for 40% of primary energy consumption and 30% of CO2 emissions in the EU.
2. Nordea Bank recognizes opportunities to create positive environmental impacts through green products that encourage energy efficiency and cleaner energy consumption among homeowners.
3. As about half of Nordea's lending is for households, and it has a 30% market share of the Finnish mortgage market, the bank is well positioned to influence energy use given most household loans are for properties in urban areas.
EeMAP: Story so far – James Drinkwater, WorldGBCGBC Finland
This document summarizes the progress and timeline of the EeMAP initiative, which aims to leverage mortgages to improve the energy efficiency of European buildings. It discusses that mortgages represent a large portion of EU banking and notes key financial institutions' support. Consumer research found energy efficiency is an important factor for Italian homebuyers. The initiative will pilot guidelines in 2018 and collect anonymized loan performance data to demonstrate lower risk to lenders. National workshops will provide feedback to refine proposals before the June pilot launch.
EeMAP: Sustainable Finance in Finland - Elina Salminen, Finance FinlandGBC Finland
The document discusses sustainable finance in Finland. The Financial Sector Entities (FFI) in Finland represents 180 member organizations in the financial sector with 26,000 employees. In 2017, the FFI Board decided to support limiting global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius and to collaboratively develop climate change indicators for reporting. An ad hoc working group was formed to draft a sustainable development commitment and guidelines on indicators. The FFI also generally supports projects combating climate change and sees integrating a green supporting factor into capital regulations as a way to influence matters, but cautions it needs more assessment first.
EeMAP: Energy Efficient Morgages Initiative - Marie Louise Andersen, EMF/ECBCGBC Finland
This document summarizes the Energy Efficient Mortgages Initiative. It discusses how improving the energy efficiency of housing stock can provide benefits to borrowers, lenders, investors and society. The initiative aims to create a pan-European private financing mechanism to encourage energy renovations through incentives linked to mortgages. This would support the EU's energy savings targets. The mechanism would offer interest rate discounts for new highly efficient buildings or existing buildings that improve their efficiency. Technical committees are examining data and guidelines to support piloting energy efficient mortgage products.
This document discusses two phases of sustainability and well-being certification for buildings. The first phase focuses on resource efficiency through metrics like energy, water, and materials use. The second phase focuses on occupant well-being through assessing air quality, light, nourishment, activity, comfort, and mental well-being. The WELL building standard addresses these factors through preconditions and optimizations. Certification requires assessing current performance, developing improvement plans, implementing actions, and ongoing monitoring to enhance occupant satisfaction, retention, and financial outcomes.
BUILD UPON: Luca Bertalot - Road Map for an Energy Efficient MortgageGBC Finland
Buildings are responsible for 40% of EU energy consumption and 36% of CO2 emissions. 75-90% of the existing building stock will still be standing in 2050, so improving energy efficiency is key to meeting EU energy and emissions targets. This document proposes a pan-European financing mechanism to incentivize households to retrofit buildings for energy efficiency through financial incentives linked to mortgages. This would support private investment in energy efficiency improvements estimated to be €100 billion per year, helping the EU meet its 2020 energy savings target.
BUILD UPON: Monica Ardeleanu - Green homes & mortgages: quality, health and f...GBC Finland
The document discusses the benefits of green homes and mortgages, including lower costs, health benefits, and financial returns compared to traditional homes. It provides examples of green housing projects in Romania that have achieved certification. Government policies like property tax reductions for green buildings could further incentivize deep energy renovations. Moving forward, engagement is needed from mortgage underwriters, real estate appraisers, insurers and national banks to recognize the financial benefits of energy efficiency and lower total homeownership costs.
