The document provides information on sustainability metrics and green building strategies from the Sustainability Institute. It includes images and descriptions of green roofs, passive solar design, and earth-coupled structures. The text discusses topics like reducing waste, defining sustainability, green building rating systems, integrating design teams, and developing green value pro formas. Key areas of green building strategies are identified as site/ecology, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, and materials.
LEED for New Construction was designed primarily for new commercial office buildings, but it has been applied to
many other building types by LEED practitioners. All commercial buildings, as defined by standard building codes,
are eligible for certification as LEED for New Construction buildings. Examples of commercial occupancies include
offices, institutional buildings (libraries, museums, churches, etc.), hotels, and residential buildings of 4 or more
habitable stories.
LEED for New Construction addresses design and construction activities for both new buildings and major
renovations of existing buildings. A major renovation involves major HVAC renovation, significant envelope
modifications, and major interior rehabilitation. For a major renovation of an existing building, LEED for New
Construction is the appropriate rating system. If the project scope does not involve significant design and
construction activities and focuses more on operations and maintenance activities, LEED for Existing Buildings:
Operations & Maintenance is more appropriate because it addresses operational and maintenance issues of working
buildings.
Some projects are designed and constructed to be partially occupied by the owner or developer, and partially
occupied by others tenants. In such projects, the owner or developer has direct influence over the portion of the
work that they occupy. For such a project to pursue LEED for New Construction certification, the owner or tenant
must occupy more than 50% of the building’s leasable square footage. Projects in which 50% or less of the building’s
leasable square footage is occupied by an owner should pursue LEED for Core & Shell certification.
This presentation was developed for a group of local middle school and high school teachers in Syracuse, NY. The presentation highlights my transition to the "green economy" and uncharacteristic green job opportunities for Central New York young.
LEED for Commercial Interiors
LEED for Commercial Interiors is the green benchmark for the tenant improvement market.
LEED for Commercial Interiors is the recognized system for certifying high-performance green tenant spaces that are healthy, productive places to work; are less costly to operate and maintain; and have a reduced environmental footprint. It gives tenants and designers, who do not always have control over whole building operations, the power to make sustainable choices. Making these choices during tenant improvements and interior renovations can dramatically affect the indoor environment.
This rating system was developed specifically for tenants in commercial and institutional buildings who lease their space or don’t occupy the entire building.
LEED for Commercial Interiors was designed to work hand-in-hand with the LEED for Core & Shell rating system, used by developers to certify the core and shell of a project and prepare the building for environmentally conscious tenants.
Global Alternative Compliance Paths are available for this rating system.

The Decision to Go Green: Individual vs. Group Influences on Our Likelihood t...Marcel Harmon
2009 BECC Conference Presentation - Both the text and the slides
Recent studies by researchers affiliated with the Center for Research on Environmental Decisions (CRED) have demonstrated that the long term benefits that result from green, sustainable design, are given more weight by groups as opposed to individuals. Our evolutionary past, with its focus on daily survival, has designed our individual analytical and emotional decision making systems to focus on short-term costs/benefits as well as those “threats” that have an immediate impact on our daily lives. Pressing work deadlines, job loss, etc., have more meaning to us than melting polar ice caps or invisible gases in the atmosphere. But in cohesive groups, decisions are more likely to be made with respect to the common good; and when the common good coincides with the delayed benefits obtained from sustainable design, groups are more likely to go “green” than individuals.
In the building construction industry, short term benefits often outweigh long-term benefits when making decisions on how green to be. Following the above line of reasoning, this suggests that individuals or small groups whose common good does not coincide with green’s delayed benefits are the primary decision makers involved. The author will test this by comparing a dataset of LEED, non-LEED but green, and conventionally designed facilities with respect to the decision makers – who they were, their demographic make-up, and their core values. The results should provide insight into the challenges faced in greening our built environment and the solutions needed to ensure a more rapid move to sustainability.
Calling it Green requires new uses of potential and ^studies in wave glass and graphical relationships can raise up a green energy fluency that will lead to energy self-sufficiency.
However, we believe that the green energy trade and the desire to have a ^^competent glass performance capability will lead to ‘beating the swords into plowshares’ all over the earth and much knowledge sharing to accommodate a one system and developmental portfolio. This work in digital will require the ^^^green energy wall before ark mode capability will be reached. Morning Star Agreement is required, as the Kingdom of God is relationally devised.
The prospect of ^^^^Remote Building becomes rosier when the Green Energy capability allows for branching and establishing an interpolative strategy that enables a glass warehouse. Going to the Energy Wall Cascade method will take time, trial and trade.
Our prior papers are illustrative of many related topics, see at end. Motion Capability in T&MM requires more thread to be carried which also pushes the portfolio up to an Ark and Remote requirement.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

What is GREEN?
“Green” is a term used to describe a host of strategies aimed at
improving the efficiency
of resources or energy and the health characteristics of interior
spaces or manufacturing processes.
It does not signify arriving at a certain “state of green” or “state of
sustainability” but is both a relative and unquantifiable term.
Green Scoring tools attach arbitrary point values to combinations
of strategies in order to grade the participants. There is no arrival
point at a state of GREEN.

What is Sustainability?
The most accepted definition of Sustainability suggests that what we do must allow
future generations to have the same resources and opportunity which we possess.
At the rate we are digging up and burning the planet, and the slowness with which
we are responding to these issues, it is apparent this will not be the case for our
children or theirs.
We must at the very least, find ways to develop the science, technology and
educational knowledge-base that will become the foundation for the next
generation's continued effort to transition to sustainability.

What is Sustainability?
The term, Sustainability represents a relatively new field of endeavor, even though
some earlier cultures (and even a few current ones) had an intrinsic understanding
of the Earth's "not being owned" by the current generation.
Compare it to the field of Integrated Medicine. What we have today is not
"healthcare" at all, but "disease care". Real Healthcare would be much less
expensive.
So sustainability, once understood, will be much less expensive than our non-
sustainable planning, construction, infrastructure, and manufacturing processes.
Our construction industry, for example is "Building Code" based. This promotes the
construction of buildings which are the worst allowable under the law and, as such,
are the most expensive to our society from an holistic point of view. As in Integrated
Medicine, we must look at the whole picture (an holistic point of view) to fully
understand "cost" and "value".

There is invisible writing on the back of the diploma you will receive, and in case you didn’t bring
lemon juice to decode it, I can tell you what it says: You are Brilliant, and the Earth is Hiring. The
earth couldn’t afford to send recruiters or limos to your school. It sent you rain, sunsets, ripe
cherries, night blooming jasmine, and that unbelievably cute person you are dating. Take the hint.
And here’s the deal: Forget that this task of planet-saving is not possible in the time required. Don’t
be put off by people who know what is not possible. Do what needs to be done, and check to see if
it was impossible only after you are done.

$4500 incentive for a new, 10mpg more gas efficient car
10 mpg (18mpg to 28 mpg) = 12000 miles per year
667 gal - 428 gal
Saved CO2 Emissions/yr 240 gal @2.50/gal= $598
CO2 =240gal x 19.29 = 4630 lbs $4500 = 7.5 Years
$598
Is This Program Effective in Helping the Environment?
What is the actual cost to taxpayers of interest and principal on the borrowed $4500?
What is the Embodied Energy required to produce and ship the new car? ( Hint: Assembly alone yields 2,645 lbs of CO2)
What is the energy required to dispose of the old car?
How many more miles will to owner drive in his new car than he did in his old one?
What is the lost “opportunity cost” of the principal and interest money spent on the new car?
(ie. you could have doubled the insulation in your house)
How many more appropriate questions could we ask?
