2 Agenda Green Building Basics Green Government Legal Considerations LEEDigation Green Defects Contractual Provisions
3 What is Green Building?
4
5 How do you measure green?
6 The USGBC has four levels of LEED:
7 Steps to LEED certification: Construction Completed Register Your Project Track Progress & Document Achievement Apply For Certification
8 Green Government
9 Government Incentives, Mandates and Regulations
10 Federal Investments: America Recovery and Reinvestment Act $3.6 billion for energy efficiency and modernization $4.5 billion for high-performance green buildings $6.3 billion for the State Energy Program and EECBG $5 billion for weatherization of homes
11 Most ARRA Funds Not Spent
12 Green Mandate As a means of evaluating and measuring our green building achievements, all GSA new construction projects and substantial renovations must be certified through the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED ) Green Building Rating System of the U.S. Green Building Council.
13 Top 10 Green Building Bills in the Senate The Clean Energy and American Jobs Act Kerry (D-MA) and Boxer (D-CA) The American Clean Energy and Leadership Act Bingaman (D-NM) and Murkowski (R-AK) Energy Efficiency in Housing Act (EEHA) of 2009 Whitehouse (D-RI) Livable Communities Act of 2009 Dodd (D-CT) The Expanding Building Efficiency Incentives Act of 2009 Snowe (R-ME) The School Building Fairness Act Harkin (D-IA) Clean Energy for Homes and Buildings Act of 2009 Merkley (D-OR) and Lugar (R-IN) The Energy Efficiency Modernization Act of 2009 Bennet (D-CO) The Water Accountability Tax Efficiency Reinvestment (WATER) Act of 2009 M. Udall (D-CO) The Federal Agency Energy Efficiency Improvement Act of 2009 Collins (R-ME)
14 State and Local Governments Green Building regulations are prevalent: 45 states 132 cities 35 counties 28 towns 34 state governments 13 federal agencies

26 Legal Considerations: Green Defects Energy Efficiency
27 Legal Considerations: Green Defects Energy Efficiency Some Buildings Not Living Up to Green Label The Federal Building in downtown Youngstown, Ohio... has LEED certification, the country s most recognized seal of approval for green buildings. But the building is hardly a model of energy efficiency. According to an environmental assessment last year, it did not score high enough to qualify for the energy star label.... The building s cooling system, a major gas guzzler, was one culprit. Another was its design....
28 Legal Considerations: Contracts Design-Build Contracts One party responsibility for LEED certification Pass-through clauses important Define subcontractor LEED responsibility
29 Legal Considerations: Contracts Design-Bid-Build Contracts: LEED guarantees dangerous Instead, carve out LEED responsibilities Contractor Build according to plans & specs Material sourcing Construction waste management Indoor air quality
30 Legal Considerations: Contracts Avoid guarantees of energy performance if you do not control operations and maintenance.
31 Legal Considerations When Building Green Three Keys: Green building is not a fad Understand Emerging Federal and State Green Building Regulations Clarify Responsibilities Before Guaranteeing Compliance
