5. Conserving energy and reducing waste in our buildings significantly affects environmental savings
U.S. Building Impacts
Close your eyes for a minute and think about your day yesterday. Where do you go when you left your house in the morning? You may have dropped your kids off at school, stopped by Dunkin Donuts, Einstein’s, or Starbuck’s for a cup of coffee and a bagel before you got to work. You then may have spent most of the day at work, perhaps went out to a restaurant or got take-out for lunch, and then you might have stopped by the dry cleaner or the grocery store on your way home. Now think about how many different buildings you patronize each day, including doctor’s offices, shopping malls, places of worship and more and how many hours you spend at work.
Okay. You can open your eyes now. What many people don’t think about is that buildings have a huge impact on the environment. They tax our resources, they contribute to global warming, they are where we spend as much as 90 percent of our time. If every business were to focus on conserving energy and reducing waste, businesses would save and the environment would save. After all, the average green building saves 30 percent energy, 35 to 50 percent carbon dioxide emissions, 35 to 50 percent water use and 50 to 90 percent waste cost. Everybody would win.
We spend as much as 90 percent of our time in buildings, including offices, stores, restaurants, schools, hotels, places of worship and more. 5

6. What is Sustainable Development?
A systematic approach to sustaining planetary resources, based on recognition that human consumption is occurring at a rate that is beyond Earth’s capacity to support it
What is Sustainable Development?
Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs
A sustainable building in construction, operation or disposal cannot:
Consume materials unless they can be easily and harmlessly extracted, used and returned to nature
Consume non-renewable energy
Destroy natural habitat, bio-diversity, or bio-mass, or
Release waste of a type or quantity that cannot be harmlessly broken down by natural systems
So what can your business do to help preserve the environment while realizing benefits for your company? Before we get into specifics, let’s briefly clarify what going green really means. The terms “sustainable”, “green” and the like have become a part of many discussions, product advertisements and everyday speech,. However despite the growing pervasiveness of such terms, the concept of sustainability is imprecise and poorly understood.
A sustainable building is one that can be produced and continue to be operated over the long term without adversely affecting the natural environment necessary to support human activities in the future. Building design and operations are all methodically planned to conserve energy, water, carbon dioxide emissions, and waste output.
Terms like “sustainable” and “green” are commonly used;
However, their meanings are often misunderstood.

7. Green vs. Sustainability
The word “Green” can have many meanings, depending on the circumstances
Green vs. Sustainability
What is the difference between the terms Green and Sustainability?
While green is a fitting term, it does not encompass the full meaning of sustainability
Sustainability means maintaining complete ecological balance indefinitely
The difference between Green and Sustainable is the degree to which the design maintains this ecological balance. Some green designs have no impact of maintaining ecological balance, such as indoor environmental quality measures 7

8. Areas of Sustainable Development
Sustainable buildings are designed, constructed and operated using practices that reduce and eliminate the cradle to grave negative impacts of buildings on the environment and occupants
Areas of Sustainable Development
What are the areas of sustainable development?
Sustainable site planning
Safeguarding water and water efficiency
Energy efficiency and renewable
Conservation of materials and resources
Indoor environmental quality
All of these are contained in the LEED Standard
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design 8

9. Business owners have a unique opportunity to make a significant contribution while realizing measurable benefits
Why Go Green?
Environmental benefits
Reduce the impact of natural resource consumption
Economic benefits
Improve the bottom line
Health and safety benefits
Enhance the comfort and health of occupants
Community benefits
Improve quality of life
So, why would you want to launch green initiatives within your business? If you’re planning a new construction project, why would you consider a green building?
The benefits of green design are significant.
Economic benefits are experienced through improved building operations, asset value, worker productivity, and local economy.
Occupants benefit from health and safety features. This also relates to risk management and economics. The U.S. EPA found that average Americans spend more than 90% of their time indoors, and indoor air quality can be two to five times worse than outdoor air quality.1
The local and global environment benefits from protecting air quality, water quality, and overall biodiversity and ecosystem health.
Community and municipal benefits include: lessened demand for large-scale infrastructure such as landfills, water supply, stormwater sewers, and their related development and operational costs; and decreased transportation development and maintenance burden (roads) and increased economic performance of mass transit systems.

39. Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED®)
FPL programs align with LEED certification criteria
Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED®)
What is LEED?
A leading-edge system for designing, constructing, operating and certifying the world’s greenest buildings
Developed and administered through the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)
The nation’s foremost coalition of leaders from across the building industry working to promote buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy
Created to:
Facilitate positive results for the environment, occupant health and financial return
Define “green” by providing a standard for measurement
Prevent false or exaggerated claims
Promote whole-building, integrated design processes
LEED is the USGBC’s primary vehicle for promoting sustainable design and construction.
The USGBC began to develop the LEED Rating System in 1995 in response to the U.S. market’s demand for a definition of “green building.” Other rating systems such as BREEAM and BEPAC (European and Canadian systems) existed at that time and were reviewed before work on LEED began.
The LEED standard was developed by USGBC members through volunteer committees. The support tools, such as the Reference Guide and Training Workshop, were originally developed with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy.

40. Benefits of the LEED Certification System
The LEED system has become a respected standard
Benefits of the LEED Certification System
Serves as a design guideline
Recognizes leaders
Stimulates green competition
Establishes market value with a recognized national “brand”
Raises consumer awareness
Transforms the marketplace
The LEED certification has become a standard that identifies qualified companies as leaders.

41. LEED is a points-based system that uses a whole-building approach to encourage and guide a collaborative, integrated design and construction process
LEED Certification
Five credit categories
Minimum design prerequisites
Accumulate points in each category
Four levels of LEED certification:
Certified Level points
Silver Level points
Gold Level points
Platinum Level 80+ points
LEED Credit Categories
LEED is based on accepted energy and environmental principles and strikes a balance between known effective practices and emerging concepts. The development of LEED was instigated by the USGBC membership, representing all segments of the building industry, and was developed using a transparent process open to the public.
The rating system provides a framework to help move the U.S. building industry to more sustainable practices. It responds to the U.S. marketplace and to budgets of U.S. design practices.
The LEED Rating System is on a five-year review cycle. Several incremental 2.x versions will be developed and piloted before making the leap to version 3.0 (ETA 2005).
LEED defines a threshold for green buildings and introduces a tool to promote and guide comprehensive and integrated building design.
LEED is performance-based where possible, compatible with standard design processes, self-evaluating, self-documenting, but not self-certifying. Certification is solely done by the USGBC
The five environmental categories are further divided into “credits.” For each credit, the rating system identifies the intent, requirements, and technologies or strategies to achieve the credit. One or more points are available within each credit, and points are achieved by meeting specified requirements.
Most categories contain prerequisites. ALL seven prerequisites MUST be met in order to qualify for ANY certification level.
In addition to the five environmental categories, there is also an “Innovation and Design Process” category.
69 points total:
Sustainable Sites: 8 credits, 14 points
Water Efficiency: 3 credits, 5 points
Energy and Atmosphere: 6 credits, 17 points
Materials and Resources: 7 credits, 13 points
Indoor Environmental Quality: 8 credits, 15 points
Innovation: 4 points
LEED Accredited Professional: 1 point .

43. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency uses a comparative rating system to award ENERGY STAR labels to top performers
ENERGY STAR
Buildings and manufacturing plants can earn the ENERGY STAR label, just like your refrigerator
EPA research indicates that buildings labeled ENERGY STAR consume about 40 percent less energy than typical buildings
An ENERGY STAR qualified facility:
Uses less energy
Less expensive to operate
Causes fewer greenhouse gas emissions
ENERGY STAR ratings must score in the top 25 percent based on the EPA’s National Energy Performance Rating System
To determine performance, the EPA compares energy use among other, similar types of facilities on a scale of 1 to 100
The EPA’s research shows that buildings carrying the ENERGY STAR label consume about 40 percent less energy than typical buildings
