OUTLINE Building history

Green buildings and their advantages

Why build Green ?

Green building certification

CEDRE

WHY CEDRE????

Buildings YESTERDAY SHELTER from weather General living space-to provide privacy -to store belongings -to comfortably live and work

Buildings TODAY

Stylish/ fashionable - Its all about Esthetics - How it looks

Buildings TOMORROW

GREEN BUILDINGS-Sustainability -human health, safety and comfort-Preserving the environment / Eco-friendly-Economical-Preserving natural resources-Positive energy

Advantages of Green buildings Structure Design Efficiency ( Sustainable

Design ) reduce consumption of natural

resources, energy, water Improve health and indoor

environmental quality. Operations and Maintenance

Optimization Waste, pollution and toxics reduction

Why Build Green???? Buildings are responsible for a significant

proportion of the overall environmental impact

Old structure built or rehabilitated before 1980

Modern structure built in compliance with the latest energy-efficient guidelines

Passive house built in compliance with the German Passivhaus or Swiss Minergie P standard

Role of Green Building certification

To set the framework and the standards of construction of new buildings in order to

assess construction of new buildings check if the sustainability goals are met.

To encourage, support and facilitate the growth of the green building industry.

To maximize both economic and environmental performance

CEDRE

Construction Ecologique

Et Durabilité

Réglementaire

Environnementale

CEDRE RATING SYSTEM that represents the

first step towards an official Lebanese reference

A guide that favours a ecological construction.

Inserts the targets to achieve in every element with the different phases of designing and execution

CEDRE

Targets the buildings that are going through either the designing or the construction phase

Takes into consideration several elements:

integrated design phase the selection of the construction material the amelioration of the health and comfort of the

occupants the integration of water, energy and waste

management

CEDRE Rating system based on a OMS

Based on the 14 targets defined by the association HQE

CEDRE

Tertiary (education, Public health, offices , etc) ;

Residential or multi residential;

Industriel ;

Etc..

CEDRE 100 points can be assigned by the operation

CEDRE (without the 5 bonus points for innovation)

3 levels of certification :

> 50 points

> 65 points

> 80 points

There is mandatory points for levels

and

History of CEDRE Contract signed with CSTB – Certivéa (september 2009)

Agreement with association HQE

Creation of the first rating system CEDRE for new offices with technical assistance of CSTB and Certivéa (September 2010)

CEDRE for new offices was announced in France during the 7Th meeting oh HQE (November 2010)

CEDRE Multi residential is ready

Ongoing CEDRE Industrial

Why CEDRE ??? Environmental management system

for sustainable buildings:procedures to help the project owner to a proper implementation of this system.

Contains all the necessary recommendations in order to adequately conform to the requirements and achieve the different point attributed to each element.

Why CEDRE ??? Numeral studies performed:

search of the most important green building referential

in the world

familiarize with the different targets of each referential

determine their advantages and constraints, and which ones can be adapted in Lebanon

Why CEDRE ???? identification of the most significant

environmental indicators in Lebanon

Calculation of the maximum thresholds of these indicators

Recommendations to indicate the environmental measures that should be respected in order to minimize environmental impacts.

Why CEDRE ??? Integration of different international norms

that can be adapted in Lebanon

Justified thresholds determined for

Sound emissions CO2 emissions Water consumption Thermal energy standards
