Green Building Was Once Thought to Be
The Best Pathway to a Better Future
Green Building Rating Systems: Cure or Curse for Sustainable
Operations?It’s instructive to take a step back and look at history of green building, taking a generational perspective – 25 years.
One could say that green building rating systems have been a great success, but one could also say that today there are now major limits to
their effectiveness in inducing change.

Existing Buildings Lag Even More
• 5.5 million existing US nonresidential buildings• Annual LEED EBOM certifications: 500-600• Amount: 0.01% (1 in 10,000)• No growth in the US• LEED Dynamic Plaque has had limited uptake• In 2016, USGBC promotes “arc” to keep score• None of this will work because it fails to
create any real value for building owners!

LEEDership Means New Objectives
• Radically cut carbon emissions – primary goal– 2030 goals
• Redesign green ratings as management tools for continuous improvement
• Set a Big Hairy Audacious Goal: Increase uptake 10x in 10 years, from 4% to 40% of building area

How Can We Do This?
• Take advantage of recent developments in real estate operations
• Leverage algorithms to measure sustainability in building operations– Self-driving cars
• Cut certification costs 90% to 99% & cut time to certify to one week– Must change delivery model!
• Fully commit to achieving 2030 goals for all buildings
