Green Design is Great DesignDemystifying Green Materials

Sustainabilityis the new
standard forgood design.
e n v i s i o n
Good designcan no longer
includestrategies that
harm people or the
environment.

Sustainable design is
smart design!

And smart is SEXY!
“The Myth”
e n v i s i o n
Sustainable design
strategies canbe applied to any project
type.

What makes a material green?
e n v i s i o n
It is never justone thing.
Green design isholistic.
e n v i s i o n
Where is it made?
What is it made of?
How is it installed?
How is it maintained?
How long will it last?
How is it disposed of?
Can it be recycled?How do I know you are telling the
truth?
How is it made?

What materials are
green in the eyes of
LEED?
e n v i s i o n
When selecting materials, LEED credits
are available in these areas:Reuse and Waste Management
Recycled ContentRegionally Manufactured Materials
Regionally Extracted MaterialsRapidly Renewable Content
Certified WoodLow-Emitting AdhesivesLow-Emitting CoatingsLow-Emitting CarpetLow-Emitting Wood
e n v i s i o n
Some examples of rapidly renewable content:
CorkAgriboard
WoolBambooLinoleumRubber
e n v i s i o n
Some examples of low-emitting materials:
Low or Zero VOC paintLow VOC adhesives and sealants
Composite wood with no added urea formaldehyde
Carpets meeting the CRI Green Label Plus program
e n v i s i o n
The surprising recycled content of common building components:
Structural Steel 95%Sheet Steel 32%
Copper 44%Flat rolled aluminum 80%
Glass 20%Acoustic ceiling tile 23 - 87%
Fiberglass batt insulation 25%
e n v i s i o n
Why is recycled content important?Resource conservation & energy
savings:Recycled steel requires only 26% of the
energy Recycled copper requires only 15% of the
energyRecycled aluminum requires only 5% of
the energy
e n v i s i o n
What other options exist for recycled content materials?Synthetic Gypsum Board 99%
Carpet 38%Ceramic Tile 50%
Composite Wood Panels 99%Synthetic Stone Countertops 99%

You need to be a good cook.And you need to be a healthy cook.
e n v i s i o n
Which is better for you?
The right choice is easy. It just takes a little
discipline to implement.
e n v i s i o n
Think of green strategies in terms ofthree groups:
Energy and resource savingsHuman health and well being
What feels good
e n v i s i o n
Energy and resource savings:Don’t allow sloppy construction
Increase insulationUse better windows
Buy Energy Star appliancesIncorporate energy efficient HVAC
systemsUse energy efficient lighting systemsUse low flush and low flow plumbing
fixturesUse locally manufactured materialsLocate near public transportation
e n v i s i o n
Human health and wellbeing:These are largely indoor environmental
qualitystrategies that improve the lives of
people bycreating healthy places to live and raise
children.
e n v i s i o n
What feels good:These strategies promote awareness of
greendesign even though their positive
effects may be incremental.
