1 NCBC: California Trends in Sustainable Development Phil Williams - Webcor Builders

2 What are trends?? Yesterday, today and tomorrow Data and facts that help create information that may provide added knowledge about future events Graphical or other visual information that assists in analyzing data

3 Webcor Builders Founded in 1971 in San Mateo. Other offices in San Francisco, Hayward, Los Angeles, San Diego and Anaheim. Annual Contracts over $1.8 billion. Consistently listed among the ENR Top 30 Contractors in the Country. Largest Commercial Contractor by volume in the San Francisco Bay Area per the San Francisco Business Times. Largest Contractor in California based on California volume per California Construction 10th Largest Concrete Contractor in the Nation per Concrete Contractor. 59th Largest Corporate Philanthropic contributor in the Bay Area per the San Francisco Business Times.

4 What/How Does Webcor Build? Private sector market 85% Public sector 15% Negotiated work (not design-bid bid-build) build) California focus Builder w/self performance significant % structural work Design-Assist and Design-Build for MEPS systems

5 Traditional LEED Project Profiles Public sector (Federal, State, County or City) Owner occupied corporate campus Private and public higher education Private non-profit

6 LEED Webcor 5 year data (January-April) 9.4 million sf total 2,200 residential units 1,300 hotel rooms 1 million sf retail 50% Design-Build and 50% Design Assist

7 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES LEED-NC PLATINUM CERTIFICATION The The California Academy of Sciences consists of 409,178 square feet et and will house the Steinhardt Aquarium, Morrison Planetarium, Natural History Museum, Tropical Rain Forest and Research & Administration (RC&A). The The new Academy is expected to receive a rare LEED Platinum certification (minimum 52 LEED credits required) from the U.S. Green Building Council. One of the t many unique sustainable aspects of this project is the live roof system which will cover approximately 80% of the roof surface with a variety of native plants. This system will significantly reduce the heat island effect, as well as storm water runoff.

14 What are the results of our actions? 4.2 million sf residential 4.3 million sf office 500 k sf hotel 400 k sf retail 9.4 million sf of LEED projects

15 Documented LEED Costs Costing Green: A comprehensive Cost Data Base and Budgeting Methodology,, July 2004; DAVIS LANGDON San Francisco LEED Silver 1%, LEED Gold 2.7%, LEED Platinum 7.8% The Cost and Financial Benefits of Green Buildings,, Greg Kats; October 2003 LEED Certified 0.66%, LEED Silver 2.1%, LEED Gold 1.8%, LEED Platinum 6.6% What Does Green Building Really Cost?, Peter Morris, Summer 2007, PREA Quarterly LEED Cost study repaired for GSA 2004 Conclusion 1%-8% depending on the level of LEED achieved.

16 Documented LEED Costs Greening Americas Schools,, Gregory Kats; October 2006 Green schools cost less than 2% more than conventional schools or about $3/sf but provide financial benefits that are 20 times as large. The Cost of Green Revisited,, DAVIS LANGDON; July 2007 There is no significant difference in average cost for green buildings as compared to non-green buildings. Green City Buildings: Applying the LEED rating System,, Portland Energy Office; June 2000 Lowest life Cycle Cost Approach 0% to 2.2%

17 LEED Cost Summary These credible and relevant sources of cost data conclude that while green buildings may have cost more in the initial developmental stages of the green building industry, the costs associated for green construction are determined by the level of LEED achieved and the trend is that green building costs are not the determining factor in the overall construction costs of private or public buildings.

18 Building Trends, Cost Trends, Legislative Trends Started in public sector moving aggressively into private sector Initial costs to go green were reported to be high but facts support current costs as minimal Governmental bodies (local and state) acting in advance of federal direction

19 Consistency pays, why have two sets of rules? Document projects consistently.commissioning per LEED no matter what the project Have consistent internal requirements.commissioning leadership Have consistent external requirements.commissioning contract exhibits (exhibit K ), specifications and requirements Internal QC to match external QC.collaborative and not combative commissioning

27 What Are The Next Green Building Trends? Continued growth in private sector LEED (NC, CS, CI, Schools, Retail, Existing Buildings, Neighborhoods, Healthcare, Historical..) Government Mandated Green er er private sector buildings Carbon Neutral Buildings (zero energy) Embodied energy of building and building materials

28 New Terms and Vocabulary Clean-tech (Bio-tech, High-tech) Embodied energy Livable not merely survivable buildings Orchestrated vs. cafeteria style green

29 Clean-tech: Energy Generation PV Solar Wind Geo-thermal thermal surface type Deep geo-thermal Carbon sequestration Clean coal Fuel cells Bio-fuels

30 Clean-tech: Material and Processes CMU replacement with 40% less cement Dry wall replacement with -0-%% gypsum Concrete chemistry with 60% less cement (in addition to the use of fly ash or slag) Structures engineered to reduce the quantity of concrete by 30% Concrete structures designed to reduce steel re-enforcement enforcement by 60%

31 Building Green is one more step to Better Buildings Anticipate sustainable features Understand and be an expert Communicate expectations Educate all team members Recognize the risks (opportunities) Develop consistency
