Building sector : ‘low hanging fruit’ for GHG mitigation
Greening building sector : win-win solution

5. What is Green Building
★ A Green Building is OFTEN NOT Sustainable Building ★
★A Sustainable Building is a Green Building★
Sustainable Building
NO net impact on environment
Green Building
Green Buildings, USMCA 2008 Beijing
focuses on incremental steps
to solve known and measurable
problems with our current practice
A Greener Building in India may be less green than a
normal building in Japan in using energy and resources
Greener than average, Greener than baseline

7. Ancient Green Buildings !!
Ancient Chinese and Indian geomacy principles are
similar to several present green building attributes
Feng-shui tries to achieve a balance
between natural sunlight, air and
water within a building

Vastushastra tries to harmonize
the flow of energy with exact
directions for objects, rooms etc.

13. Comparison of Assessment Systems
Assessment systems are either ……
(1) Point Value based ( LEED, BREEAM, Greenstar etc.)
(2) Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) based (BEES, EcoQuantum etc.)
(3) In between (1) and (2) (CASBEE)

15. Green Building is still not an attractive CleanTech
(…despite the low or negative costs)

16. Growing Green Building (GB) Market
Growth of LEED
•Projects in 69 countries
•Annual market for GB product
& service: $12 Billion (2008)
Growth of CleanEnergy Trio
(solar, wind, biomass)
•20-50% a year worldwide
•~$10 billion by VC firms alone
Green Buildings, USMCA 2008 Beijing
•~$140 billion investment (2007)
China factor
•Urban population 44% in 2006
to 70% in 2035
•20 bil. sqm in next 15 years
(2 bil. sqm annual construction)
•2000-2015, 50% of all new constructions in the world will be in China
•Building+ Building material consumes ~45% of energy at present
•National Project of Building Energy Conservation, by 2010
$400 bil investment to be 50% energy efficient, save 10 m ton coal.
17. Future Factors
•Future of the World is Urban
( in 2008 first time urban pupulation~50% 60% by 2030 )
• half of the world urban area in 2030 is yet to be built

19. Impact of ICT in Greening of Real Estate
By 2020 (Data source: SMART 2020 The Climate Group)
Energy Efficient Building Design: 0.45 GtC/yr
Building Management Systems: 0.39 GtC/yr
Lighting Automation: 0.12 GtC/yr
Total with other options: 1.68 GtC/yr
(Total with ICT 7.8 GtC/yr)
Green Buildings, USMCA 2008 Beijing
…about $ 340 billion in savings

The China factor
How much greening of real-estate happens in China,
the biggest builder in coming decades
20. Concluding Remarks
COST & Greening of buildings is more of a
ECONOMY safety issue & an economic issue
Key to get to greener buildings
AWARENESS is awareness, mainly of public
To create market &spur innovation
MANDATES &
Green Buildings, USMCA 2008 Beijing
Reduce emission, increase efficiency
INCENTIVES
Assessment systems are good way
ASSESSMENT
to incorporate integrated design
SYSTEMS approach, present with a business
APPROACH case, and achieve real efficiency
while creating awareness and
BUSINESS
spurring cost-effective innovation
