2 our transition to sustainability must be a deliberate choice to leave the linear surge of an extractive economy and enter a circulating, renewable one. Janine Benyus

3 NEED Worldwide, buildings account for: 17% Fresh Water Withdrawals 25% Wood Harvests 33% CO 2 Emissions 30-40% Energy Use 60-70% Electrical Use 40% of Solid Waste

4 NEED Site Selection and Development contribute to Ambient Temperature increases with environmental impact Increased Quantity and Lower Quality Storm Water Runoff Natural Habitat Destruction Increased Auto usage generating 20% of CO2 Emissions

5 NEED Buildings Impact Occupants Health Productivity Job Satisfaction Recruitment and Retention

6 DO Sustainable Philosophy DO believes sustainable design is a requirement of responsible architecture and an integral part of our design process.

7 Agenda What is LEED? How it works? Benefits vs. Challenges Business Impact

8 Sustainable Design Perception Reality

9 What is LEED? Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design U.S. Green Building Council started in 1993 and launched LEED in 1998 with the latest version in 2009.

10 LEED Rating Systems New Construction Existing Buildings Commercial Interiors Core and Shell Retail Schools Healthcare Neighborhood Development Residential

11 LEED Certification A point-based rating system designed to guide and distinguish high-performance sustainable buildings. Certified Silver Gold points points points Platinum 80+ points

12 Basic Principles Energy & Water Efficiency Environmental Stewardship Occupant Comfort and Well-being

13 LEED Categories Sustainable Sites Water Efficiency Energy & Atmosphere Materials & Resources Indoor Environmental Quality Innovation Regional Credits

14 Prerequisites 1. Erosion and sedimentation control plan 2. Water use reduction 20% 3. Optimize energy performance by 10%ASHRAE Fundamental building commissioning 5. CFC Refrigerant Reduction in equipment 6. Storage and collection of recyclables 7. Minimum IAQ Performance ASHRAE Environmental tobacco smoke control

15 Sustainable Sites Site Selection- Brownfield Dev., Community Connectivity, Previously Developed Sites Alternative Transportation Public Transportation, Bicycles, Parking, Fuel Efficient Vehicles Site Development Protect & Restore Habitat, Maximize Open Space Stormwater Management Quality and Quantity Heat Island Effects Roof and Non-Roof Light Pollution

16 Water Efficiency Landscaping No use of potable water Reduced/No irrigation Wastewater Technologies Graywater systems On-site wastewater treatment Potable Water Use Reduction Low flow fixtures Waterless urinals

17 Energy and Atmosphere Optimize energy performance Meet and Exceed ASHRAE 90.1 standards On-Site Renewable Energy Solar Wind Geothermal Commissioning Refrigerant Management Measurement and Verification Submetering Green Power

Materials and Resources Building Re-use Construction Waste Management Divert Construction waste from Landfill Materials Re-use Salvaged building materials Recycled Content Steel, concrete,

18 Materials and Resources Building Re-use Construction Waste Management Divert Construction waste from Landfill Materials Re-use Salvaged building materials Recycled Content Steel, concrete, flooring, ceilings Regional Materials 500 mile radius Rapidly Renewable Materials Bamboo, Rubber, Cork FSC Certified Wood Sustainably harvested wood certified by the Forestry Stewardship Council

19 Indoor Environmental Quality Increased Ventilation Exceed ASHRAE 62.1 requirements for outdoor air Construction IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) During construction and post occupancy Low Emitting Materials Paints, Adhesives, Carpets, Substrates Controllability of Systems Lighting and HVAC control for individuals Thermal Comfort HVAC systems and Envelope to meet ASHRAE 44. standards Daylight and Views Daylighting and outdoor views

20 Innovation Exemplary performance New ideas and technologies LEED Accredited Professionals

21 Regional Credits Site Selection Stormwater Management Quality and Quantity Energy Efficiency Regional Materials Daylighting

22 Challenges First Cost versus Life Cycle Costs Certification Process Cost Material and Systems Performance Verification and Validation Maintenance Familiarity

23 Benefits Environmental Stewardship Staff Productivity and Retention Energy & Water Savings Lower Life Cycle Costs: Energy, Water, and Maintenance Reduced Liability Building Marketability Recognition

24 LEED V4 Rewards integrative design from the start as the first credit in LEED v4 Supports a lifecycle approach at the whole-building level through a revised and strengthened Materials & Resources credit category Offers up to nine points for using less material, using the right materials, and using the best materials Supports the use of products by innovative manufacturers that report, and in some cases reduce, the negative impacts associated with their product from extraction of raw materials through the manufacturing process

25 LEED V4- New Market Sectors Data Centers Warehouses Existing Schools Existing Retail Hospitality Mid-rise residential
