Sustainability Green Energy Codes What it is Sustainability

Sustainability, Green & Energy Codes

What it is Sustainability is evolving to encompass issues beyond natural resources and the environment • 5 domains of sustainability: environmental, sociocultural, technological, economic and public policy • Each domains plays an essential role in sustainability and all must be addressed in order to achieve a truly sustainable design Future Initiatives/ Regulations LEED v 4 q Ever evolving environment q Product life cycle assessment q Environmental Product Declaration q New market sector adaptations include education, government, and healthcare q USGBC Living Building Challenge Compliance q q Building certification program Declare label Red list International Living Future Institute q promote standards of operational and management excellence in commercial properties, BOMA 360 EHS EH&S AIA + 2030 2| q Net zero energy initiative q Responsible design q Adopted by 73% of 20 largest A/E firms q $100 B in construction annually Green Globes q q Online self-assessment tool Integrated design process Similar to LEED Green Building Initiative

What is a PCR? Product Category Rules (PCR) define the rules and requirements for EPDs of a certain product category • Form of guidance and rules for the collection of data • Explains how the calculations should be done to transfer the data to the environmental impact • PCRs can be developed by consensus group and are peer-reviewed by a manufacturer or industry association/committee • Allegion’s PCRs • Hardware PCR(BHMA) • Hollow Metal PCR(SDI) • Auto Operators (BHMA) 10 |

What is an LCA? A collection of data from point of extraction, thru manufacturing, delivery, installation and the life of the product/ building to disposal that assesses environmental impact of a product. • Conforms to ISO 14040 / 14044 • ISO 14040, which lays out the principles and framework of LCA. • ISO 14044, which describes requirements and guidelines. • Good for 5 years 11 |

What is an LCA? 12 |

What is an EPD? v. The output (result) of the LCA v. Communicates transparent and comparable information v. Conforms to ISO 14025 v. Independently verified and registered 13 |

What is an HPD? A Health Product Declaration (HPD) is a report of the materials or ingredients content of a building product and the associated health effects. 15 |

Material Ingredient Reporting Manufacturer Inventory. The manufacturer has published complete content inventory for the product following these guidelines: • A publicly available inventory of all ingredients identified by name and Chemical Abstract Service Registration Number (CASRN) • Materials defined as trade secret or intellectual property may withhold the name and/or CASRN but must disclose role, amount and hazard screen as defined in Green. Screen v 1. 2 “A method for comparative Chemical Hazard Assessment that can be used for identifying chemicals of high concern and safer alternatives” Benchmark 1: Avoid – chemicals of high concern Benchmark 2: Use but search for safer substitutes Benchmark 3: Use but still opportunity for improvement Benchmark 4: Prefer – safer chemical 16 |

How is LEED v 4 different than LEED 2009? • LEED v 4 focuses on increasing technical stringency from past versions. − Emphasizes transparency, hence the EPD and HPD requirements. − Decreases the proximity of the manufacturing to project site from 500 miles to 100 miles. • LEED 2009 credits were based on single attributes of materials, such as recycled content and proximity of manufacturing to site location. 18 |

The Bottom Line: Sustainability Around the Globe Increasing consumer demand has pushed the world’s green building market value to $260 billion in 2013 This demand is resulting in a corresponding increase in the scope and size of the green building materials market, which is expected to reach $234 billion by 2019 The US is the world’s largest market for the rating system, followed by China, Canada, India, Brazil & Korea Worldwide, the USGBC reports that there are 82, 800 commercial and institutional projects, representing 1. 4 billion square meters (about 16 billion square feet), participating in the green building rating system. This year it is estimated that 40 -48 percent of new nonresidential construction will be green, equating to a $120 -145 billion opportunity 1 25 |

Green Codes

Green Building Codes / Standards Ig. CC – International green Construction Code ICC 700 – National Green Building Standard (residential) IECC – International Energy Conservation Code Cal. Green – Part 11 of the CBC. The first statewide “green” building code in the US ASHRE / IES 90. 1 - Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings ASHRE / IES 189. 1 - Standard for High-Performance Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings 27 |

Ig. CC • The first model code to include sustainability measures for the entire construction project and its site — from design through construction, certificate of occupancy and beyond • The new code is expected to make buildings more efficient, reduce waste, and have a positive impact on health, safety and community welfare • The Ig. CC includes requirements for a range of issues pertinent to sustainability, including a substantial portion dedicated to energy efficiency • The Ig. CC is an effort of the ICC aimed at creating a new green overlay code for the ICC’s suite of I-Codes, including the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code. 28 |

Ig. CC Outcome based performance • Introduced in the 2015 Ig. CC • Proposal (CE-37) disapproved in the 2018 OGCV • adopted by the city of Seattle New Buildings Institute & National Institute of Building Sciences are driving changes to energy codes and building design & operation 29 |

City of Seattle The Seattle Energy Code regulates the energy-use features of new and remodeled buildings, including: • Building Envelope: requirements for roofs, walls, windows etc. to control heat loss and air leakage • Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC): efficiency for heating and cooling equipment • Water Heating: equipment efficiency and controls • Lighting: number and type of lighting fixtures and controls • Metering, plug load controls, transformers, motors, and renewable energy 32 |

Final thoughts • Sustainability is here to stay • Transparency is the new norm • Ever evolving, envelope is continues to be pushed 33 |
