World's Greenest Buildings Performance vs Promise
•Download as PPTX, PDF•
1 like•825 views
The document discusses the performance of green, sustainable buildings and whether they deliver on their promises of reduced energy and water usage. It notes that while green building is growing rapidly, some certified green buildings are underperforming and not achieving the expected energy savings. The document advocates for improved performance measurement and reporting to help ensure that green buildings actually perform as intended from an environmental perspective.

Editor's Notes
- Green building vital in global carbon pictureGreen building growing rapidly in all sectorsGreen building business case is provenBUT, many green buildings are not performing as predictedBuilding energy & water performance reports vitally neededBuildings must eventually measuretotal carbon performanceZero-net-energy buildings feasible today
- By reducing energy and water use as well as transportation energy use
- More than 2 billion sq.ft. certified projects, more than 7 billion sq.ft. registered (maybe as much as 9 million sqft), as of September 1st.
- 14% reduction in CO2, 2025 vs. 2005NPV of green building: $650 billion in U.S.5x to 10x cost premium2020 Prediction: Green buildings 95% of new constructionGreen retrofits are 75% of all retrofits
- Financial/economic returnRisk mitigationMarketing/public relationsProductivity/health gainsRecruitment/retentionEnvironmental benefitsSustainability concerns
- If building energy use is this important to our collective future, why not know what’s going on?
- “What gets measured, gets managed”Without reports, we are flying blind/can’t fixWhy should governments put their faith in green building without performance reports?
- Here’s the problem: quite a few green building projects are not meeting their projections.
- The first major study of LEED projects gave this result.
- Issue: Average savings is 35% vs. standard (Kats)BUT, about 25% actually underperformOne LEED Platinum building:Modeled at 61% savingsPerforms at 48% savingsUnderperforming buildings hurt validity of green building premise
- EU Energy Performance in Buildings Directive: in force since 2010; here’s a UK example.
- Importance of embodied energy; forms a barrier to further carbon reductions
- Where SHOULD WE be aiming? I decided to find out!LEED Platinum (or equivalent)Built since 2003>50,000 sq.ft. (>5,000 sqm)Non-residential useMust provide energy data for one yearWater data, as available
- European stretch goal: 100 kWh/sqm/a PRIMARY energy useEuropean site use median: 135 kWh/sq.m.; 43,000 EUIU.S. Average: 400 kWh/m2/a (2003)50% better than average still not good enough!75% (or more) required2030 Challenge (next slide)Solon: 34,000 Btu/sq.ft./year energy use
