USGBC has four levels of LEED Certification:

Additional construction costs

Reduce Total Ownership Costs (TOC’s)By implementing sustainable design concepts and principles of shore facilities

LEEDUse LEED as the tool in applying sustainable development and as a metric to measure the sustainability achieved

Self CertificationDesign Team, led by a LEED Accredited Professional,

certifies that the project will meet the requirements for a LEED rating

USGBC Certification FY09 & BeyondDesign Team certification is verified by “Peer Review” from a third party

From Credits to Outcomes

“…The bar has been reset for green building leadership because the urgency of our mission has challenged the industry to move faster and reach further than ever before.”Rick Fedrizzi, USGBC President, CEO & Founding Chair

Environmental and Human Impact Credit Weighting:

Highest Credit Weightings are given to building practices that improve energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions to align with USGBC’s goal of climate change mitigation.

Adjust weights of key impact categories:

• Building systems (Fuel & Electricity Consumption)• Transportation (Commuting and Services)• Water Consumption (Prerequisite: 20% Reduction)• Materials (Core, Shell and Finishings)• Indoor Environmental Quality

Regional Bonus Credits

To provide incentive for the achievement

of credits that address geographically

specific environmental priorities

USGBC has four levels of LEED Certification:

NET-ZERO-ENERGY

ASHRAE defines net-zero-energy buildings as those which, on an annual basis, use no more energy from the utility grid than is provided by on-site renewable sources.

These buildings use 50% to 70% less energy than comparable traditional counterparts. The remaining energy use is derived from renewable sources, such as solar panels or wind turbines

located at the facility.

Net-Zero-Energy Buildings “Can these types of facilities be market viable by 2030?”By Kent Peterson, P.E.

THE FUTURE: Net Zero Energy

Renewable Energy Sources: Wind, Water, Biomass, Solar, Geothermal

BIOMIMICRY

Biomimicry is an innovative method that seeks sustainable solutions by emulating nature’s time tested patterns and strategies, eg. a solar cell inspired by a leaf. The goal is to create products, processes and policies – new ways of living – that are well adapted to life on earth over the long haul.

bioWAVE™

Currently a prototype is being tested off the coast of Tasmania. This system called bioWAVE™ mimics the swaying motion of seaplants in the current. As the system sways in the tide, electricity is generated. If at any point the system is in danger because of strong currents, it simply lies flat until the ocean calms down again.

THE FUTURE: Raising the Bar – Further and FurtherARTIFICIAL PHOTOSYNTHESIS

The Air Force Office of Scientific Research is funding an MIT team led by Dr. Daniel Nocera to investigate new methods to store solar energy. These scientists are seeking new sources of clean energy by trying to mimic the way plants and trees do it, by converting sunlight into fuel.

Unlike standard solar panels on rooftops or arrays of solar collectors in the desert this is a form of “artificial photosynthesis”. It tries to imitate the elaborate system that microbes, algae and green plants developed over 3 billion of years of evolution.

• Research process: Using the model of photosynthesis which naturally stores energy, artifically split water into hydrogen and oxygen molecules.

• Goal: Have buildings serve as their own power stations by using only a few gallons of water daily and light energy from the sun.
