9 BUILDINGS PLAY A BIG PART BUILDINGS ACCOUNT FOR ALMOST HALF THE CO2 EMMISSIONS energy use and CO2 emissions per capita and by sector

10 HOW BIG? U.S. BUILDINGS ACCOUNT FOR MORE EMISSIONS WORLDWIDE THAN JAPAN, FRANCE & UK COMBINED Reference: Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, U.S. Dept. of Energy

11 The Problem We design to Minimum Standards Design Bid Build delivery method We don t use Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) Monitoring If you can t measure it, you can t manage it Separation of funding (Building vs Operation)

12 MUCH WONDERFUL ORGANIC DESIGN IS STILL EXCEEDINGLY WASTEFUL
