36. The Wilder Center - Green for Good What is Sustainable Design? It’s Resourceful Identify + Creatively Use Available Resources Resources are NOT always Identified As Resources Example: Stormwater or Rainwater? Stormwater gets a Sewer = Negative Rainwater gets Harvested = Positive The Development installed Stormwater Tanks - Did not provide for Rainwater Harvesting - Construction Cost of Infrastructure was Spent - Wilder Could not justify the cost to Re-construct Lost 3 Potential LEED Points - No Use of Potable Water for Irrigation - Innovative Waste Water (Rainwater for Toilets) - Reduced Stormwater Run-off (LEED Level) Rainwater should be considered a Resource.

Example: Energy Efficiency First Excel Energy Design Assistance – A Free Site Resource - Energy Efficiency Cost 1/3 as much as Renewable Energy - More Carbon / Pollution Reduction for the investment. - Best Operations Payback; Not as Inspiring or Readily Visible. LEED: 6-7 Points Energy Optimization 1 Point Green Energy (Excel Wind Source)
