7 Why Built Positive? Research revealed 4 key insights The green building movement is mature Good news/ bad news There is a vision vacuum A desire to reconnect with guiding principles 1 2 Desire to move towards positive impact Being less bad isn t enough anymore Need quantitative case for real change Economics engages owners and developers to adopt new practice 3 4

10 The Cycle is Accelerating

11 Adding 900 Billion Sq. Feet Over Next 15 Years An entire New York City every 35 days for 15 years Sources: UN Habitat, State of the World s Cities 2010/2011; McKinsey Global Institute, Urban World: Cities and the rise of the consuming class, 2012.

12 Landfills are Full of Building Materials Globally, the built environment consumes 24% of raw materials The construction industry was responsible for 59% of total UK waste in 2014

13 Supply Chain Circular Design Technology Business Model

15 Key Concepts

16 Intentionally eliminating the concept of waste through design at all levels: material, product and building

17 BIOLOGICAL BIOLOGICAL CYCLE CYCLE TECHNICAL TECHNICAL CYCLE CYCLE Source: Ellen MacArthur (2012) Adapted from the Cradle to Cradle Design Protocol by Braungart & McDonough

18 Quality assurance and value retention through the use of materials that are verified to be safe and healthy for humans and the environment

19 INVENTORY SCREEN ASSESS OPTIMIZE Inventory What s in it? - Depth of inventory Screen What s not in it? - Lists of know problematic chemicals Assessment What are the risks? - Human and environmental end points - Hazard, exposure, risk Optimize design to pose no risks - Redesign, reformulate, innovate

20 Complicated Supply Chains Product Textile Seating Fabric Material Fiber Dyes Auxiliaries Chemical INVENTORY

21 Banned List Chemicals PVC, PVDC, CPVC, polychloroprene Metals: Arsenic, cadmium, chromium VI, Mercury, Lead* (Biological nutrient threshold = maximum background soil concentration) Flame Retardants: HBCD, PBDEs, TBBPA, TDCPP Phthalates: DEHP, BBP, DBP Chlorinated hydrocarbons: chlorobenzenes, PCBs, short-chained chlorinated paraffins Pentachlorophenol Nonyl- and octylphenols, nonyl- and octylphenol ethoxylates Organotins PTFE* (Banned in TN s if primary component of product or material) PFOA, PFOS PAHs* INVENTORY SCREEN

22 Toxicological Assessment Chemical level assessment Conducted by chemists and toxicologist Reports impacts against 24 human and environmental endpoints Considers hazard and exposure scenarios INVENTORY SCREEN ASSESS

23 Informed Optimization Identify alternatives Reformulate / re-design Innovate / R&D Supports better decision making and knowledge for product design and development, chemical and material procurement, risk management, workplace safety, and more INVENTORY SCREEN ASSESS OPTIMIZE

24 Quick reference to determine a product s level of optimization toward human and environmental health NO C2C BANNED LIST CHEMICALS NO EXPOSURE FROM CARCINOGENS, MUTAGENS, OR REPRODUCTIVE TOXICANTS SAFE FOR HUMANS & THE ENVIRONMENT, FULLY OPTIMIZED

25 Buildings that can be easily repurposed or deconstructed so that materials, products and components can be easily recovered and their value retained, to be meaningfully cycled

26 Design for Disassembly Overview References: Reversible Building Design, Building Science Stories & Design for Disassembly in the Built Environment: A guide to closed-loop design and building Involves planning for the end of life of a building at the design stage Allows buildings to be systematically taken apart piece by piece so elements can be reused Can be thought of as the reverse of the construction process Could apply to the whole building envelope & structure Co-benefits include improved future flexibility & faster construction times

27 To innovate and accelerate circular solutions requires continuous and active engagement of the supply chain

28 Creating and retaining value over the use and reuse cycles of the products and therefore the buildings enabled by the identification, optimization, verification and tracking of materials thoughtfully designed and assembled for whole building circularity

29 Materials BUILT POSITIVE Circular Design Material Health Design for Disassembly & Recovery Value Chain Collaboration & Innovation Buildings Regional Systems Governments CIRCULAR ECONOMY New business models (e.g. product as service) Reverse logistics Legacy chemical management Policies, incentives and disincentives

30 Getting Started The greatest opportunity for delivering a product or project that works within a circular economy exists at the concept stage Think about use and re-use at the design stage Starting discussions early in the design process will help the whole project team make choices that facilitate circularity Success will depend on collaboration with the supply chain There isn t a one-size fits all approach, so explore all options that could be relevant to your specific product or project Cradle to Cradle certified is your easy button

31 A movement that challenges our industry to build better Design for circularity Innovate to improve inputs Quantify positive impact from the molecule to the metropolis

32 Our Values Co-Creative Sharing / Open Source Solutions Urgency and Acceleration Scalability

33 How Do We Get There? Empower manufacturers with the knowledge and tools to inspire their designs to achieve the highest level of C2C certification Collaborate with design professionals on the fundamentals of positive design and the necessity of verified inputs in scaling the quality and products in circular systems and supply chains Demonstrate impact for owners and developers through the identification, optimization, and verification of quality and quantity materials and products thoughtfully designed for whole building circularity Inform policy to accelerate stakeholder engagement, amplify innovations, and scale progressive solutions

34 Creating a Movement Year 1 Inspiration & Awareness Year 2 Reflection & Refinement Year 3 Conscious Change Define the elements of building positive Develop widely available resources (e.g. curriculum, case studies) Create opportunities to learn and share Examine principles in practice Explore challenges Engage for innovation and process breakthroughs Built Positive principles are being put into practice Sharing and amplification of practices, principles, and breakthroughs

35 What s Next Lots! Webinar Series Workshops Boston, San Francisco, Copenhagen, Creating e-learning modules Explainer videos, interactive content, case studies etc. Convening Owners/Developers Roundtable Explore value creation and buildings as material banks Capturing and sharing best practices Newsletter, website
