Workgroup Objectives
Understand building sector’s contribution to Northeast Ohio’s carbon footprint
Explore solutions, changes and investments needed to reduce the carbon footprint from buildings over coming decades
Hopeful, yet realistic discussion
Begin framework for an action plan focusing on carbon reductions
Determine next steps

IntroductionWhat today is.
An opportunity to learn about existing projections and challenges for the Northeast Ohio region in regards to climate change and building issues.
An opportunity to ask questions and challenge future scenarios on what our region will need to look like to be both environmentally and economically healthy.
An opportunity to contribute your knowledge so this project has the best possible information.
What it isn’t.
Is NOT a discussion on whether global warming is occurring or whether climate change is real.

What is a Carbon Footprint? Measure of the carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases) released
as a result of activities
Calculated from energy (fuel) used during activities and from land use changes and agricultural activities
When differences appear in carbon footprints for the same region – and they can be large differences – it is usually related to whether or not land use, forestry and agricultural activities are included in the calculation. These categories can make up 1/3 of the total CO2emissions.
Include energy consumed in buildings, industrial processes, and transportation sector (electricity, natural gas, coal, petroleum, etc.)

Collateral Benefits
Climate Change is the big issue, but sustainable development practices can help achieve other goals related to:
Air emissions
Stormwater runoff
Materials conservation
Land and habitat conservation

How Did We Calculate CO2 Emissions for 7 County Region?Gathered energy consumption data from 7 county region, using direct
contacts and annual reports filed with state and federal government Electricity Natural Gas Diesel Gasoline Heating Oil
Utilized ICLEI Software for Calculations ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability (originally known as “International Council for
Local Environmental Initiatives”) is an international association of local governments and national and regional local government organizations that have made a commitment to sustainable development. http://www.iclei.org
Current estimate for Northeast Ohio does not include emissions from agricultural activities or land use changes
Ongoing process, data will be refined as better and more complete data is available

Energy Star ProgramHomes are at least 15% more energy efficient than homes built to the 2004 International
Residential Code (IRC), and include additional energy-saving features that typically make them 20–30% more efficient than standard homes.
“Tried and True” approach. Utilize existing and proven technologies to achieve:
Effective Insulation High Performance Windows Building and Duct Sealing Efficient HVAC Systems Efficient Products Third Party Verification
(Builder Option Package – choose climate specific solutions)
Source: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=new_homes.nh_features
Commercial and industrial facilities are scored on a 1-100 scale and those facilities that achieve a score of 75 or higher are eligible for the ENERGY STAR, indicating that they are among the top 25% of facilities in the country for energy performance.

LEADERSHIP inENERGY andENVIRONMENTALDESIGN
A leading-edge system for certifyingDESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, & OPERATIONSof the greenest buildings in the world
Scores are tallied for different aspects of efficiency and design in appropriate categories.

Presidential Climate Action Plan
“In a study commissioned by CPAC, analysts at the Alliance to Save Energy project that CO2 emissions from buildings will increase a staggering 86% from today’s levels if trends continue.”
“Recent studies of several states suggest that overall building energy efficiency could be improved by 10% to 30% in the next decade with technologies already known to be feasible and cost-effective.”
Report lays out 7 actions the next President should take around efficiency standards, mortgage interest deduction, extend tax incentives, zero energy buildings by 2030 through better quality and enforcement of building energy codes, home weatherization programs, use federal loan guarantees to support sustainability

Buildings and Other Structures
Strategies– Energy Efficiency
• Structural (size of buildings, location of buildings, efficiency of systems, construction, insulation, design, construction materials)
• Behavioral (activities within buildings, accepted temperature, accepted water usage, lighting sources)• Smart Metering (see 5/27/08 WSJ article on TX project to reduce peak demand)
– “Passive Survivability” – design and construction of structures that can function without heating or cooling systems, zero energy homes
– Rating Indexes – LEED for Homes, Energy Star, HERS– Urban core, Inner ring, suburbs, exurbs– Single family, multi family, office, mixed use, retail, industrial
Key Data– Building stock (type, size, location)– Building turnover (location, new construction, deconstruction)– Typical home/commercial/industrial consumption today, 20 years
© 2008 GreenCityBlueLake Institute
Buildings Work Group – October 16, 2008
Single Family Homes Scenario Example
Existing building stock (number of homes, types of construction,age)
Predicted building turnover (demolition) Predicted new construction (number of home, types of construction) Fuel Mix House size (square feet, people per house) Home weatherization programs (cost, energy savings, carbon
avoided – prioritization of project types, Cleveland Carbon Fund) Home efficiency programs (loans, grants for efficiency upgrades,
payback periods in $ and carbon avoided)
