Introduction
Since the Industrial Revolution the
world has
witnessed
incalculable technological
achievements
population growth
corresponding increases in resource
use

Side effects of all the activities and

achievements include:
pollution, landfills at capacity, toxic
waste, global warming, resource and
ozone depletion, and deforestation.

All these efforts are straining the

limits of the Earths carrying
capacity its ability to provide the
resources required to sustain life
while retaining the capacity to
regenerate and remain viable.

Building Industry in US
Represents more than 50 percent of the nations
wealth
New construction and renovation activity
amounts to approximately $800 billion
Represents 13 percent of the GDP
Employs over ten million people
C&D debris comprise approximately 15 to 30
percent of all waste disposed of in landfills
The resources required to create, operate, and
replenish this level of infrastructure and income are
enormous, but diminishing
To remain competitive and continue to expand and
produce profits in the future, the building industry has
to address the Environmental and Economic
consequences of its actions

Sustainability
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Development that meets the needs of
the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet
their own needs
(The Brundtland
Commission,1987)

SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS

Application of
Sustainability
A Superior Technology

Effect of Sustainability

Advanced Features of a Sustainable

Building
Best Building Form
Solar & Energy Efficient Design
Improved Indoor Air Quality
Usage of Green Materials
Proper Mechanical Systems
Efficient Lighting
Proper Testing & Maintenance

Green Materials
Materials, production, use and
disposal must be safe for the planet.
Most of the materials have specific
range of conditions in which they
best work
Sustainable building materials have
the following features:
Durable and easily maintained
Less processing required
Low odor
Low emitting
Cost-effective
Aesthetic

Economics of Green Buildings

Reduction in lighting energy
requirements by at least 50 percent
Cut heating and cooling energy
consumption by 60 percent
Reduced water consumption by up to 30
percent or more
Lower building operating expenses
through reduced utility and waste
disposal costs
Lower on-going building maintenance
costs, ranging from salaries to supplies
Increase worker productivity by six to 16
percent
Higher property values and potentially
lower lenders credit risk
Higher building net income
New economic development
opportunities

Benefits of Sustainable Construction

Sustainable construction makes wise use of
all the natural resources and a 50% reduction
in energy use
Improves occupant health, comfort,
productivity, reduces pollution and landfill
waste that are not easily quantified
A sustainable building may cost more up
front, but saves through lower operating
costs over the life of the building
Building is designed as one system rather
than a collection of stand-alone systems with
the help of the integrated system approach

Future of Sustainable Buildings

Further research
Successful examples of Sustainable
buildings
Newer, efficient and healthier
technologies
Availability of computer software
programs to identify and evaluate
options for a building project
Governmental support
An active participation from every
sector of the society

Case Study- The Dalles Middle

School
(Oregon)

Problem:

Poorly built middle

school in a landslide
area
In 1955, to meet the
sudden influx of
students, temporary
facilities were
constructed with an
expectant life of 20
years, but were used
for 45 years
By 2000, the State
Fire Marshall closed
down the facility with
the decision to build a

Building Design
Heating and cooling are a large part
of the energy use of a school building
The high temperature ground water
from the landslide area was used to
provide both heating and cooling
using geothermal principles
It is one of the first schools in the
nation that is heated and cooled with
the very ground water that caused
the landslides

Lighting
Daylighting & SkylightingIncorporated lots of natural light to
reduce the need for electric lighting
and the associated increase in the air
conditioning load
Energy efficient fluorescent T5s
installed in classrooms

Natural Ventilation
Operable windows pull fresh air into
one side of the classroom, while
ventilation stacks pull the air out on
the opposite side of the classroom
At extreme temperatures, automatic
backup mechanical ventilation
systems used

Application of Concepts of
Sustainability
Use of paints and sealers with low or
no-volatile organic compounds
(VOCs)
Reclaimed ground water to irrigate
the ball fields.
Exterior lighting directed downward
to reduce night light pollution
Mechanically zoned science
classrooms to avoid exposure to
hazardous chemicals
Stained the concrete walls to blend
with the colors of the natural
landscape

Use of ceiling tiles produced from

75 percent post-consumer recycled
waste

Results
60 percent cost reduction in energy
expected
Students performed better with the
skylights and windows that bring
natural, non-glare light inside the
classroom
High performance school building
emerged that will prevent pollution,
save energy, natural resources and
money
Improved Indoor Air Quality and
occupant comfort due to no-VOC
emissions from building materials.
