2 Labelling, Sustainability Measures & Increased Value over Life-time LEED Existing Building: Operation & Maintenance LEED Commercial Interiors / WWF Green Office TOOLS: LEED New Construction BIM IN-USE Checklist of items to be focused Sustainability indicators: Technical Functional Social Economic Environmental (EN 15978, ) DEMOLISH 2

3 Building Labelling to Increase Value Evaluate environmental and social performance of building The allocation of points between credits is based on the potential environmental impacts and human benefits (credit weighting) Each credit is allocated points based on the relative importance of the building-related impacts that it addresses. Labelled buildings are more valuable to owners: higher sales value and rent level with shorter transaction time

4 LEED Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Created and developed by U.S. Green Building Council Based on third party evaluation Certificate is given by USGBC Rating levels: Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum. LEED tools: New Construction, Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance, Commercial Interiors (vuokralainen), Core & Shell, Schools, Retail, Healthcare, Homes, Neighborhood Development

10 Market Value of Building Based on Life Cycle Performance of HVAC system Life cycle analysis of a building and its HVAC system: Life cycle cost analysis: Investment cost of HVAC and other mechanical systems Energy consumption Maintenance requirement Replacement cycles Performance indicators: Energy consumption Water consumption Greenhouse gas emissions Waste (e.g. used lights) Indoor air temperature Indoor air quality Life cycle cost (LCC) Performance analysis: Energy simulation Indoor conditions simulations Lighting simulation Building Information Modeling (BIM) => quantities Life cycle assessment (LCA) => environmental impacts Discounted cash flow: Market value = Better indoor environment Net operating income (rent owner s operating costs) Capitalization rate (risk free rate + premium growth + depreciation) Energy cost Maintenance cost Replacement cost HVAC-system flexibility Longer life span of HVAC and other components
