and Green Building
Green Builsings: Green buildibng is not aproduct. Is a process that applies to buildings.
Triple bottom line
People
Planet
Profit
Green Gases
Carbon Offset (Provides LEED points): Is a reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide or greenhouse gases made in order to compensate for or to offset an emission made elsewhere. It works by purchasing carbon credits which are sold in metric tons of carbons dioxide equivalent8 (tons CO2e). Ex>: Projects of wind farms, methane capture from landfill
SUSTAINABILITY (DEFINITION)
sustainability defined as: to create and maintain conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony, that permit fulfilling the social, economic, and other requirements of present and future generations.
GREEN BUILDING
DEFINITION: ’Green Building refers to both a structure and the using of processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, operations, maintenance, renovation, and demolition.’’
The economic benefits include energy and water savings, increased property value, improved occupant’s presence, increased employee productivity, sales improvements and less infrastructure strain.
The social benefits include improved health, better lifestyle, more recreational activities and more opportunities to public transportation which result in more physical activity.
IMPACT OF BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION ON THE ENVIRONMENT:
36% of total energy use and 65% of electricity consumption
30% of greenhouse gas emissions
30% of raw materials use
30% of waste output (136 million tons annually)
12% of potable water consumption
Conclusion:
LEED rating system design and construction practices categories:
Location and transportation
Sustainable sites
Water efficiency
Energy and Atmosphere
Materials and resources
Indoor Environmental quality
