The document summarizes the key findings of the 2012 Green Market Study conducted by Pöyry. It found that legislation, business models, technology, and knowledge are shaping green building development. Users are increasingly driving projects and valuing location/accessibility. Owners see benefits like better yields and rentability. Builders see opportunities but want more knowledge. Sustainability is important in planning but decentralized energy production faces challenges. Renovations aim for efficiency but lack knowledge. Focus is shifting to sustainable building use with user input.
IGBC has set up the Green Schools Core Committee to develop a rating program to address school children from Kindergarten to Higher secondary school.
The School rating system is unique in the sense that it addresses eco-education, Health & hygiene besides the infrastructural facilities, energy efficiency, water conservation and waste management. Aspects like nutrition, physical activity & safety are also addressed.

GREEN BUILDING STRATEGIES & PROJECT MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR A SUSTAINABLE FU...Raghavendra Rachamadugu
Buildings and homes (or the “built environment”) affects natural environment. Buildings, where people spend 90% of their time, adversely impact human health. Buildings also account for 40% of energy and 16% of the water used annually worldwide. Air quality inside buildings is 2 to 5 times worse than outside
There are many factors to consider while studying the impacts of buildings
• Land use and ecosystems where buildings are built
• Materials and practices used to construct buildings
• Material, chemical, energy and water resources used to maintain and operate buildings
• Demolition and waste of a building at the end of its life
Green Building involves minimizing these negative environmental and human health impacts and enhancing positive results throughout the building’s entire life cycle. In addition to environmental benefits, through integrated design, they can be constructed at the same or lower cost than conventional buildings.
Today, buildings are responsible for more than 40% of global energy used, and as much as one third of global greenhouse gas emissions, both in developed and developing countries. In absolute terms, it is estimated that building-related GHG emissions to be around 8.6 billion metric tons CO2 eqv in 2004. What is particularly worrying is the rate of growth of emissions: between 1971 and 2004, carbon dioxide emissions, including through the use of electricity in buildings is estimated to have grown at a rate of 2.5% per year for commercial buildings and at 1.7% per year for residential buildings. Furthermore, the Buildings and Construction Sector is also responsible for significant non-CO2 GHG emissions such as halocarbons, CFCs, and HCFCs (covered under the Montreal Protocol), and hydro fluorocarbons (HFCs), due to their applications for cooling, refrigeration, and in the case of halocarbons, insulation materials. According to a survey published in 2007, one-third of population believe that global warming is the world’s most critical environmental problem, nearly double the amount of people who agreed with the same statement in 2006 Faiola and Shulman 2007.
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled Technology Management Strategy to analyze the business model for Solar Windows from New Energy Technologies. New Energy Technologies provides a process for transforming existing windows into solar collectors merely by spraying several materials on the windows. With this low cost process, the windows can create electricity with costs and efficiencies that are much lower than those of solar collectors. The value proposition is low cost solar electricity and the main customers are buildings in areas with lots of sunlight such as Dubai. The firm should outsource manufacturing and installation to local firms and make money in licensing. Its patents can be used to protect from imitation.
A presentation on several key drivers impacting the green building construction market. Highlights include regulations, legislation and incentives affecting designers, contractors and building owners. The presentation has been given publicly several times in 2009 and 2010.

Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2012: IRENA AnalysisMichael Taylor
Analysis of 8000 medium to large renrewable power projects by the International Renewable Energy Agency shows that costs are falling, sometimes rapidly, and that they are increasingly competitive.
The report is available as a free download.
How building owners, developers and tenants are working together with technology providers to develop high-performance, net-zero, and positive-energy buildings.
IRENA’s Power Generation Cost Analysis and Geothermal Power Michael Taylor
Presentation to the Webinar: Geothermal: Competing With Other Renewable And Non-Renewable Technologies Webinar, 19 November 2013
How does geothermal's competiveness and costs compare to other renewable power generation technologies, such as wind and solar PV? What makes geothermal's cost structure and policy needs to different to other renewable power generation? This presentation gives an introduction to these questions and the answers.
Ladies and Gentlemen, dear green building colleques,My name is MikkoHyytinen,I’m director of Real Estate Consulting services at Pöyry, in FinlandPöyry is a global consulting and engineering company dedicated to balanced sustainability and responsible business. Our field of expertise cover energy, forest industry, chemicals & biorefining, mining & metals, transportation, water, and real estate. We deliver advisory, engineering, project implementation and operations support services. Pöyry has about 7,000 experts in 50 countries, about 2,000 experts in Finland.Pöyry's net sales in 2011 was roughly800 million Euros and we are listed in Helsinki stock market.My topic today is around the Pöyry green market study 2012.I will highlight some of the key findings of the study that will contribute to the Value of green theme of this conference
We have identified six trends that are shaping the market, and shaping the development of green and sustainable building sector
Based on the developmenttrendsThesurveytopicswereselectedby Pöyry specialistsfromdifferentfields of expertiseMainthemesfocused on users, owners, buildersAreas and energysolutionsrenovationDrillingdown to drivers, challenges….
Third GMS sinceyear 2008 (2010), web-basedsurveyFocusgroupsmanagers,owners, developers, constructionindustryRegional and spatialplanning, municipalities20% Reponsponded-20%public- 80% privateNordicview, but Finland hasstrongweight in the results- Almost 90% from Finland and only a fewfromotherNordiccountriesHopefully the responses in the next GMS is moreevenlydistributed
Getting into the key findings, what are the sustainability and green building driversFacilities are in a growing role when estimating a company’s social responsibility and emissions from business activitiesAs for sustainability drivers,70% of tenants/managers underlined the importance of top management commitment (extremely or very important)65% stated that sustainability brings new business opportunities - better image
Space efficiency, energy efficiency have the greatest striving power in a new projectMore than 80% of the respondents stated that green solutions add resale value.Getting a green certificate is valued, since the benefits can be measured in cash flow and in the exit phase.Not only in higher income but also savings in the operational and maintenance costs better net incomeMore information is needed on best practices, especially the possible risks and the cost of greener choices
In the construction and building product/material indurstry, green values are seen as an opportunity to generate new business and improve competitive advantages75% of the respondents have used or are willing to use environmental certificationsHindrance – is the client willing to pay more than the conventional?
Implementation of sustainable solutions requires knowhow, commitment and flexibility
Target is the same as in new construction,Efficient and flexible spaces, good energy efficiency focus on cost savings, securing/improving the value60% said that Sustainabletechnology is stillconsideredtooexpencive - ifrenovationcost is toohigh, demolishing and new construction is gettingmoreattractive option
To conclude the key findingsManagement commitment has the key role in all of the focus groups.
How to developsustainability and profitable business?There is a lot of work to be done, but we are definitely on the right track.Conferences like this one is all about sharing the best practices and information, that will lead us to a more sustainable future.
