Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) and other green building standards are setting a new bar for energy efficiency in the built environment. Michigan has seen it's share of highly visible success stories recently which have been driven by visionary architects, builders and property owners. Our expert panel will discuss implications for goal setting, strategies, new technologies, public policy and career opportunities.

quality of life for current & future generations
What should we do about it?
• Exercise intelligent planning and design practices
to manage finite resources
26. Global Population

• Health related symptoms are reduced by
41.5% annually (Carnegie Mellon studies, Yudelson, 2009)
• LEED-rated buildings have 4.1% greater
occupancy & rent/sell for 30% more (Costar, 08)
Green Buildings can improve ROI by 6 – 7%

Sustainable Construction Perceptions and Issues
QUESTIONS?
Too many buildings are being dismissed before their timeRationale cherished buildings will be preserved(how do we create buildings that people will want to occupy)Show examples of demolished buildings that only lasted a few years (World’s Fair Ferris Wheel??, Pruitt Igoe (Minuro Yamasaki), Cabrinni Green, Ford Auditorium, Sanders Hall, Riverfront coliseum, Highland Park Assembly, Packard Motors, etc. buildings that we want to tear down – Joe Louis stadium, Summitt Place Mall, etc.)Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum
For years, the human race has taken pride in conquering the realities of the harsh environments that we survive within. We have been able to create built environments for ourselves in the most extreme climates where we can live and work. We are just now becoming aware of the impacts of our prowess and are realizing that the real advancement of our species is not about conquering and overcoming, but about living within the balance of the ecosystems that we inhabit. The impact of our growing population is now having a consequential effect on the ability of the planet to support life in the manner that we have come to expect.Quite simply, Sustainable Design is smart planning in order to preserve and maintain the quality of life that we enjoy today for ourselves and our children. We probably cannot destroy the planet by ourselves, but we are finding it quite possible to degrade our life experiences by continuing with current unchecked patterns of development and consumption.
The growth in human population over the past 50 years has been extraordinary.In 1959, the World Population consisted of 3 billion people; it is expected to hit 9 billion by 2043; current population in 2010 is 6.854 billion people (32% increase in just 33 years).U.S. Population is 310 million, expected to hit 415 million by 2043; was 180 million in 1959The growth in human population over the past 50 years has been extraordinary.In 1959, the World Population consisted of 3 billion people - expected to hit 9 billion by 2043; (7 billion at the end of 2011 - U.S. Census Bureau)U.S. Population is 310 million, expected to hit 415 million by 2043; was 180 million in 1959
A growing population needs more resources.Buildings account for ¾ of all electrical consumption in the U. S.
In the U. S., we use 8 times as much electricity as the rest of the world.Figure 1 shows the huge increase in world energy consumption that has taken place in roughly the last 200 years. This rise in energy consumption is primarily from increased fossil fuel use. Figure 1. World Energy Consumption by Source, Based on Vaclav Smil estimates from Energy Transitions: History, Requirements and Prospects together with BP Statistical Data for 1965 and subsequentWith energy consumption rising as rapidly as shown in Figure 1, it is hard to see what is happening when viewed at the level of the individual. To get a different view, Figure 2 shows average consumption per person, using world population estimates by Angus Maddison.Figure 2. Per capita world energy consumption, calculated by dividing world energy consumption shown in Figure 1 by population estimates, based on Angus Maddison data.On a per capita basis, there is a huge spurt of growth between World War II and 1970. There is also a small spurt about the time of World War I, and a new spurt in growth recently, as a result of growing coal usage in Asia.World per Capita Energy ConsumptionLet’s look first at Figure 2. Prior to 1900, energy per capita did not rise very much with the addition of coal energy, suggesting that the early use of coal mostly offset other fuel uses, or permitted larger families. There was a small increase in energy consumption per capita during World War I, but a dip during the depression prior to World War II.Between World War II and 1970, there was a huge ramp-up in energy consumption per capita. There are several reasons why this might happen:During this period, European countries and Japan were rebuilding after World War II.There was a need to find jobs for returning US soldiers, so that the country would not fall back into the recession it was in prior to World War II.The US had a large oil industry that it wanted to develop, in order to provide jobs and tax revenue.Major infrastructure development projects were put into place during this period, including the Eisenhower Interstate System and substantial improvements to the electrical transmission system.To facilitate purchases both by companies and by consumers, the government encouraged the use of debt to pay for the new good. Figure 3, below, from my post, The United States’ 65-Year Debt Bubble, shows that non-governmental debt did indeed rise during this period.Figure 5 shows that the first periods a large percentage increases in energy use occurred about the time of World War I. A second spurt in energy use started about the time of World War II. Population increased a bit with the first spurt in energy use, but did not really take off until the second spurt. Part of the population rise after World War II may be related to the invention of antibiotics–Penicillin (1942), Streptomycin (1943), and Tetracycline (1955). Use of energy to upgrade water and sewer services, and to sterilize milk and to refrigerate meat, may have made a difference as well. Life expectancy in the US grew from 49 in 1900 to 70 in 1960, contributing to population growth.Since 1970, the rate of increase in world population has declined. One reason for this decline may be the use of oral contraceptives. These were first approved for use in the United States in 1960. Other reasons might include more education for women, and more women entering into the paid work force.A person can see that in the most recent decade (2000 to 2010), per capita energy use is again rising rapidly. Let’s look at some detail, to see better what is happening.Source: Our Finite WorldGail TverbergHistorical Statistics of the United States, Millennial Edition, volume 1, p 385-6, summarizes the trends in mortality
The majority of our existence is spent inside environments that we have built for ourselves, including places of domicile, work, and leisure.I believe that the built environments that we regularly occupy do affect our well-being, including our health, safety as well as productivity and effectiveness. These buildings can directly influence our very spirit. Consider Winston Churchill’s adage “We shape our buildings, and they then shape us”.Architecture, if designed appropriately, does have healing capabilities.
Productivity in green buildings is higher due to a reduction of health related ailments and absenteeism, as well as improved occupant satisfaction with their surroundings. As a result, these buildings often lease faster and for a higher rate.A recent survey by the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) revealed that more developers and building owners are interested in developing sustainable buildings and have found rewards when doing so. I am suggesting those built environments that positively affect our human senses are intrinsically most desirable, and will be more highly sought.
