Materials and Chemistry: New Horizons in Green Building
- 1. New Horizons in Sustainability Materials and Chemistry Jerry Yudelson, PE, LEED Fellow Yudelson Associates
- 2. Where Are We Today? • Green building growing rapidly, especially in existing buildings • Building design improving gradually • BUT A long way to go • Focus shifting away from energy & location to what’s inside
- 3. • Building performance • Architecture 2030 & Net-Zero Energy • Greening existing Buildings • Resilient design • Sustainable Cities Trends & Issues
- 4. Trends & Issues • Convergence: IT & buildings with energy • Indoor air quality • Materials & chemistry • Healthy building materials – EPDs, HPDs • Healthy homes
- 7. Zero Net Zero Energy Now!
- 8. Retro-Greening Intercontinental Hotel San Francisco, LEED-EB Gold
- 10. Beyond Greening: Sustainability Huge convergence underway with sustainability, IT & information cloud connecting with energy, buildings & transportation systems
- 11. Sustainable Cities Masdar City, Abu Dhabi (future)
- 12. Sustainable Cities Los Angeles (today)

- 27. • Interiors: health and LCA-related decisions • Exteriors: lifetime carbon emissions • Overriding concern: sustainability • As a result, by 2020, most of the building products industry sells today will be either reformulated or become obsolete! Sum It All Up. . .
- 29. THANK YOU!
Editor's Notes
- What’s Between You and the Environment?Interactions mediated by chemistry and materials!Building blocks for sustainable cities & green buildingsMacro level: materialsMicro level: chemistry (& a little physics)The revolution is happening at the micro level
- Liability issues likely to become important to homebuilders, Realtors®, sellers, lenders & others, by 2020.Imagine a lawyer asking you: “What did you know, when did you know it, and what did you do about it?”
