Historical PerspectiveWhat’s happening now 4

GREEN BUSINESSWhy is this so important? Concerned with two things: Conservation - focus is on materials conservation and energy conservation, which are seen as important to protect the natural world. Sustainability - the integration of economic, social and environmental spheres to: “meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” United Nations General Assembly (1987) Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development: Our Common Future” 5

Historical Perspective Beginnings with Clean Air taken from AQMD 50 years of Progress – May 1997 In late 1946, the Los Angeles Times hired air pollution expert Raymond R. Tucker of St. Louis to analyze the Los Angeles smog problem and make recommendations to correct it. In a major treatise published in the Times, Tucker reinforced the notion that it was not just a few smokestacks, but a plethora of uncontrolled sources causing the problem: In 1947, Tucker's recommendations became a reality, in spite of stiff opposition from oil companies and the Chamber of Commerce. These business interests opposed the repeal of a state law giving manufacturers the right to "necessary" discharge of smoke and fumes, and the creation of an air pollution permit system. First recorded photo of smog in Los Angeles, 1943 Marion E. Lent dabs at smog-induced tears on her way to work in downtown Los Angeles on Feb. 4, 1953 In 1947, more than 300,000 backyard trash incinerators puffed out white plumes…More than a decade after the problem was first identified, trash collection programs were established and backyard incinerators were finally banned in 1958. 6

Historical Perspective taken from AQMD 50 years of Progress – May 1997 Achieving the proposed air quality standards in the future will require at least as strong a commitment as residents and officials made in the 1940s, when they first decided to do something about a terrible menace called smog. Vast clouds of smoke boil into the sky from the Glendale city dump in October 1946. Burning garbage in dumps was a common practice then. UCLA engineers Richard D.

The Why Focus on reducing the Carbon Footprint Reduce dependence on limited Natural Resources The Who Traditional Business going GREEN - Retail/ Wholesale Trades - Manufacturing – High Tech - IT - Transportation - Institutional – Government – Schools – Colleges – Medical – Military - Facility Management - Waste Management - Urban Planning Architecture/ Engineering/ Landscape - Real-estate - Construction Trades - Private & Public Utilities GREEN BUSINESSTechnological advances have made it possible to advance GREEN concepts 8

“In January 2008, the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (C.A.R.) created the Green Task Force, a group designed to help C.A.R. embark on an initiative to become greener and, in the process, educate members and the public about green real estate.Why?It may surprise you, but the biggest producer of green house emissions is not cars, but homes. That fact, plus rising energy costs and a decision by California’s Public Utilities Commission mandating that new housing developments are "zero net energy" by 2020, has caused homebuilders, homeowners, property managers, REALTORS®, local governments and others to focus on the energy-efficiency of homes. As the state focuses on reducing its carbon footprint and consumers seek ways to reduce their homes’ energy costs, the emphasis will be placed on eco-friendly designs and cost-savings.At the nexus of the green movement and the real estate transaction are homes. As a trade association with more than 165,000 members, C.A.R. can have big impact on the movement to make homes more energy efficient, to help homeowners and potential homeowners aware of greener enhancements and options, and to help California consumers make more sustainable choices.” Green Business - Real-estate 9

Green Business - Existing BusinessesManufacturing/ Distribution The ISO 14000 is a standard for environmental management systems that is applicable to any business, regardless of size, location or income. The aim of the standard is to reduce the environmental footprint of a business and to decrease the pollution and waste a business produces. The most recent version of ISO 14001 was released in 2004 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) which has representation from committees all over the world. Wikipedia 15

Some Buildings Not Living Up to Green Label By MIREYA NAVARRO August 31, 2009 The Federal Building in downtown Youngstown, Ohio, features an extensive use of natural light to illuminate offices and a white roof to reflect heat. It has LEED certification, the country’s most recognized seal of approval for green buildings. But the building is hardly a model of energy efficiency. According to an environmental assessment last year, it did not score high enough to qualify for the Energy Star label granted by the Environmental Protection Agency, which ranks buildings after looking at a year’s worth of utility bills. The building’s cooling system, a major gas guzzler, was one culprit. Another was its design: to get its LEED label, it racked up points for things like native landscaping rather than structural energy-saving features, according to a study by the General Services Administration, which owns the building.

“We Need Green People to Make Green Buildings Work Energy Dept. Fails to Use Thermostats to Cut Costs By BERNIE BECKER - New York Times - Published: August 22, 2009 “…………….the department has failed to use one of the most effective tools available to any ordinary household: thermostats that automatically dial back the temperature when nobody is around. A recent audit found that the department could save more than $11.5 million annually in energy costs by properly employing these “setback” controls to adjust the heat and air conditioning at night or on weekends. The Energy Department’s inspector general found that the department, which spends almost $300 million annually on utilities, could save enough energy to power more than 9,800 homes each year by doing what experts say every household in the country should also be doing.” Green Business Existing Buildings Facilities Management 17

Green Business -Urban Design & PlanningHeat Island The term "heat island" refers to urban air and surface temperatures that are higher than nearby rural areas. Many cities and suburbs have air temperatures that are 2 to 10°F (1 to 6°C) warmer than the surrounding natural land cover. Elevated temperatures can impact communities by increasing peak energy demand, air conditioning costs, air pollution levels, and heat-related illness and mortality 18

Green Business – Architectural Daylighting Daylighting is the practice of placing windows or other openings and reflective surfaces so that during the day natural light provides effective internal lighting. Particular attention is given to daylighting while designing a building when the aim is to maximize visual comfort or to reduce energy use. Energy savings can be achieved either from the reduced use of artificial lighting or from passive solar heating or cooling. Wikipedia 23

Electric Power will remain the fastest-growing energy form trough 2030. Non Hydro renwables: 3.0% (up from 2.5% in 2007) Growth spurned by the wind and solar sectors, which increased in 2008 by a robust 51% and 36 percent respectively. In 2012, 90% of new electrical capacity brought on line in the U.S. will come from renwables. Renewable EnergyThe Good News – Job Growth 25

Renewable Energy Public Policy American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 “The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, abbreviated ARRA is an economic stimulus package enacted by the 111th United States Congress in February 2009. The Act of Congress was based largely on proposals made by President Barack Obama and was intended to provide a stimulus to the U.S. economy in the wake of the economic downturn. The measures are nominally worth $787 billion. The Act includes federal tax cuts, expansion of unemployment benefits and other social welfare provisions, and domestic spending in education, health care, and infrastructure, including the energy sector.” From Wikipedia. 28

State Governments (California) have lead the way.

Renewable Energy: The Lonely Grower How Nuclear Just Got Bum-rushed By Nick Hodge | Energy & Capital / Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009 “From January to May, production from coal fell from 1.968 quadrillion Btu (QBTU) to 1.722 QBTU — a 13% decline. The use of natural gas fell 0.6%, from 1.845 QBTU to 1.834 QBTU. And nuclear went from .771 QBTU .684 QBTU, falling 11.2%. Can you guess what happened to renewable’s?” Green Business - Growth 35

Green Business - Growth “What happened to renewable’s? (Continued) They grew from .650 QBTU to .707 QBTU (Quadrillion BTU) — a rise of 8.7% — and clearly the only grower of the bunch. Let’s compare the first five months of 2008 to the first five months of 2009. Here's a chart that shows production for that time period for four relevant fuels: Geothermal and solar remained flat. We see here that coal is the only fuel whose production slipped. We also see that wind is the far-and- away winner.” Monthly Energy Review (MER) August 2009 Monthly Energy Review 9-27-09 36

Biomass contains stored energy from the sun and when burned releases heat. It is used to make heat, electricity and liquid fuels called “bio-fuels,” to help meet transportation fuel needs. Prospects: - In 2008 the global production and wholesale pricing on bio-fuels reached $34.8B with $105.4B forecasted for 2018 - Development in 2nd and 3rd generation bio-fuel innovation will further bio-fuel growth.

Renewable EnergyConcentrating solar power (CSP) Each of the mirrors has a surface measuring 120 square meters (1,292 square feet) that concentrates the Sun's rays to the top of a 115 meter (377 ft) high, 40-story tower where a solar receiver and a steam turbine are located. The turbine drives a generator, producing electricity. This power is three times more expensive than power from conventional sources, but prices are likely to fall, as they have with wind power and as the technologies develop. Wikipedia 54

Renewable EnergyConcentrating solar power (CSP) A parabolic trough Heat transfer fluid (usually oil) runs through the tube to absorb the concentrated sunlight. This increases the temperature of the fluid to some 400°C. The heat transfer fluid is then used to heat steam in a standard turbine generator. Wikipedia 55

Wind is a converted form of Solar Energy…?? Portions of our atmosphere warm at different rates as result of the sun. Atmospheric pressure at the earths surface is cooler and air is drawn to replace it resulting in wind. Windmills (as in the past) collect energy via electric generators. Prospects: - 2008 the United States passed Germany as the Number 1market in installed capacity. - 2008 wind power became the first clean-energy sector to surpass the $50B mark ($51B worldwide revenue. Projections for $139,8B in 2018 Renewable Energy - Wind 56

In a number of locations geothermal energy is close enough to the surface that energy can be extracted and used for heating. In areas hot enough geothermal energy can be used to generate electricity. Geothermal plants consistently generate electricity 24/7 regardless of weather. Prospects: In this past year (August 2008 – March 2009) there are 96 geothermal power plants under development in12 western states. This is an increase of 25% over the previously reported periods with overall production potential of 35%. Geothermal energy is the lowest cost renewable energy available and is expected to remain consistent even as other options are available Renewable Energy – GeothermalSuper heated moisture (steam) from the earths interior 70

Renewable Energy – GeothermalResidential applications Geothermal Heat Pumps (GHPs): Geothermal heat pumps take advantage of the Earth’s relatively constant temperature at depths of about 10 ft to 300 ft. GHPs can be used almost everywhere in the world, as they do not share the requirements of fractured rock and water as are needed for a conventional geothermal reservoir. GHPs circulate water or other liquids through pipes buried in a continuous loop, either horizontally or vertically, under a landscaped area, parking lot, or any number of areas around the building. To supply heat, the system pulls heat from the Earth through the loop and distributes it through a conventional duct system. For cooling, the process is reversed; the system extracts heat from the building and moves it back into the earth loop. It can also direct the heat to a hot water tank, providing another advantage — free hot water. GHPs reduce electricity use 30–60% compared with traditional heating and cooling systems. 72

Tidal Energy Jobs http://www.renewableenergyjobs.com/tidalenergy/ Tidal power is a form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into electricity or other useful forms of power.Although not yet widely used, tidal power has potential for future electricity generation. Tides are more predictable than wind energy and solar power. Historically, tide mills have been used, both in Europe and on the Atlantic coast of the USA. The earliest occurrences date from the Middle Ages, or even from Roman times. Modern advances in turbine technology may eventually see large amounts of power generated from the ocean, especially tidal currents using the tidal stream designs but also from the major thermal current systems such as the Gulf Stream, which is covered by the more general term marine current power.
