- We need to change our lifestyle Building renovations only affect 0.5-1.0% each year. It could take up to 65 years to recover the energy lost in demolition. and reconstructing a building 40% of carbon emissions come from building 47% of emissions come from buildings in the US, and this is by far the biggest sector Buildings play a major part Look at value In the US, over 5.5 million buildings are over 50 years old. 66% of all electricity goes to supply the building sector. Can’t renewable our way out of this problem
- If you are going to lead a healthier lifestyle, where does one start? Need to assess your current state. Metadata, point-in-time data, versus continuous monitoring - pre-construction validation/ post-construction validation
- Craig sits on the passive house board. Aggressive load reduction New building target ~14 kBTU/sf/yr Existing building target of ~20 kBTu/sf/yr Code-based construction 85-100 kBTU/sf/yr (national medians) 2013 - USA
- Functional realistic…yes There are four definitions of NetZero…which one should we shoot for? Total cost Source EUI - renewable strategy (divert energy from grid) Site EUI - all energy within four walls GHG/Carbon (can’t game) Pre-renewable…then offset (REC, renewable, NYC and Boston learned from the EU (CRREM)
- If you don’t go down the path of incrementalism, you have a real shot Cities such as Dublin and Brussels introduced Passive House criteria into building codes. Encouraged by early leaders
