1 Innovative technologies for energy efficiency and value enhancement. EcoCommercial Building program. The global network for sustainable building. Initiated by:

2 02 EcoCommercial Building (ECB) network interlinks disciplines to satisfy the demand for low-impact and cost-efficient structures. Owners, developers, architects, engineers, and contractors all involved in the development of commercial building projects have one thing in common: The need to make informed decisions about a diverse range of technologies and how their use will impact the environment, society and the bottom line in terms of investment and lifecycle costs. ECB program: Savings through integral planning Building design The consequence of each decision is cumulative, impacting both immediate investment outlays and long-term energy saving potential. This is exactly where we see our contribution: The EcoCommercial Building network addresses these issues with innovative solutions, materials and services and with the data, performance metrics and analyses needed to predict how a fully operational building or even entire districts will perform.

The study is on track for LEED platinum or DGNB Gold certification. Integral planning by the EcoCommercial Building network, based on the technologies available today, reduces CO2 emissions by 44% and energy costs by 74% compared to conventional buildings.

3 Exceeding existing standards through interdisciplinary cooperation. 03 Today s needs in the building sector. The real estate and construction industry is changing tremendously: The focus on the lowest possible planning and investment costs is increasingly shifting toward the lowest lifecycle and operating costs. Resource and energy efficiency are key words in this debate also reinforced by rapidly tightening energy efficiency laws. Sustainability certificates which cover resource and energy efficiency as well as environmental, sociocultural and economic aspects are becoming increasingly important for value stability and rental income which will remain attractive over the long term. Beyond that, the health and well-being of users, flexibility in building use throughout tenant change and future-compatible design which conveys corporate identity in the commercial sector are included in today s value determination. Intelligent combination of state-of-the-art technologies as success factors. The future competitiveness of real estate depends on investment in the latest available technologies. However, merely focusing on individual technologies in a building won t produce the desired result. Success requires an intelligent combination of the right solutions adapted to the intended use, local climate, culture and legislation. This in turn requires an interdisciplinary approach on the part of planners, engineers and product experts together with the future owners and users at an early planning stage. Buildings and their influence on the environment high potential for environmental protection and resource conservation. Operation of buildings accounts for 40% of the global energy demand. (Source: Deutsche Bank Research 2010) Buildings cause 30% of the global greenhouse gas emissions. (Source: Deutsche Bank Research 2010) Up to 85% of the heating energy in uninsulated houses is lost. (Source: Study on reference building built in 1960, Bayer MaterialScience) The social aspect of construction buildings influence personal performance. We spend up to 20 hours a day in buildings. (Source: American Physical Society, 2008) Students have up to 18% better scores due to more daylight. (Source: Heschong Mahone Group, 1999) Up to 35% less short term sick leave through better air quality and acclimatization.

4 04 An expert network for sustainable construction and real estate. Benefit from industry leaders expertise. The EcoCommercial Building Network provides answers, solutions and innovations to professional decision-makers in the construction industry, including investors, developers, owners, planners and engineers. The network consists of leading construction product and service providers for sustainable construction. It brings together a comprehensive set of pioneering products, services and planning support that help make integrated design solutions and sustainable building possible. Qualified experts of the EcoCommercial Building network are committed to focusing on customers needs, achieving the most sustainable results by collaborating with builders at an early planning phase, and ensuring that economic targets are met. By integrating existing state-of-the-art technologies, it is possible to achieve resource, energy and cost efficiency, as well as socio cultural compatibility. These results are promising for residential or commercial buildings, new construction or refurbishing in any climate zone. This benefits owners, users and the environment.

This award-winning office building has a state-of-the-art design and energy-efficient building envelope. The combination of technologies includes renewable energy sources which exceed national standards, ecologically and economically. Page 5, right top: Industrial office building in New Delhi, India.

The building is an example of extraordinary design and is on track for LEED platinum or DGNB Gold certification. A zero emission office building study by the EcoCommercial Building network resulted in optimized energy and water consumption, and operating costs.

7 07 Energy efficiency interesting from an economic point of view. On a global basis, buildings account for 40% of energy consumption and 30% of greenhouse gas emissions. This underscores the importance of energy efficiency in the context of buildings and economics. While planning and construction costs typically account for less than 20% of the building s lifecycle (30 50 years) costs, the operation costs add up to more than 75%, of which 30% is energy costs. Examples of the EcoCommercial Building program, such as a children s day care center near Cologne, Germany, show that a smart combination of currently available technologies permits savings of 90% of primary energy consumption compared to conventional standards. In many cases the additional required investments range from 5% to a maximum of 15% with amortization times of less than 10 years. Early-phase planning is essential. Building design and geometry, window-to-facade ratio, and window and roof orientation are key factors in planning. Further saving potentials can be realized through building envelope technologies, such as insulation, sealants and state-of-the-art mechanical systems. Advanced building technology also contributes significantly when optimizing the energy demand of a building. Renewable energy sources are considered to supply this optimized demand, and when it is supplied entirely with renewable energies, even zero emission buildings are possible. EcoCommercial Building network members possess precisely these key competencies: Planning, building envelope, building technologies and renewable energies Cost factors during the lifecycle (30 to 50 years) approx. 75% approx. 15% approx. 5% approx. 5% Idea / Planning Construction Operation Termination Source: BMWi-Energiestatistik Page 6: Bremer Weser Stadium. Architecture: Wabe-Plan Architektur. Owner: Bremer Weser Stadium GmbH. ECB network members provided resource efficiency across multiple dimensions: Germany s largest integrated photovoltaic system produces around one million kwh per year, conserving a huge amount of energy, while lightweight, transparent roof structures save valuable building materials and allow for efficient construction. Right: Invite building near Cologne, Germany. Architecture: Bayer Technology Services GmbH. Engineering: Bayer Technology Services GmbH. Owner: Invite GmbH. Involving state-of-the-art facade technologies at an early phase allowed an increase in the thermal insulation of the building envelope at the same investment level as available standard technologies. Per year, this resulted in energy savings of 47,300kWh and a CO2 emission reduction of 12 tons.
