CASE STUDY 1: BC CANCER AGENCY RESEARCH CENTRE

LEADERSHIP IN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN

levels—certified

(silver, gold, and platinum)

there must be significant reduction or elimination of negative impacts in five areas: water efficiency, energy efficiency and renewable energy, conservation of materials and resources, sustainable site planning, and indoor environmental quality.

Sustainable features include natural

ventilation in all the labs and offices, a

heat recovery system that captures heat

from exhaust air and condensing units,

dual flush toilets, waterless urinals, and

sunshades to capture solar energy.

50 PERCENT LESS ENERGY CONSUMPTION THAN A BUILDING OF COMPARABLE SIZE

43 PERCENT SAVING OF POTABLE WATER DEMANDS

98.5 PERCENT OF THE CONSTRUCTION WASTE FOR THE PROJECT WAS DIVERTED FROM LANDFILL .

EVERY DOLLAR SAVED GOES BACK INTO CANCER RESEARCH

CASE 2: GREEN INNOVATION INITIATIVE IN ASIA

New era for eco-friendly construction industry in Singapore – Intelligent and Sustainable building

Example: National Library of Singapore and

Green City – Strategic development policy in China

CASE 2: GREEN BUILDING CASES IN SINGAPORE

BCA Green mark Scheme first launch in 1995

Initiative to environmental-friendly building

Sustainability in Singapore Construction Industry

CASE 2: BCA GREEN MARK

What is BCA Green Mark?

Green building rating system for environmental impact and performance

CASE 2: BCA GREEN MARK CRITERIA

Energy Efficiency

Water Efficiency

Good Indoor Environmental Quality & Environmental Protection

Innovation

CASE 2: BCA GREEN MARK BENEFITS

Facilitate reduction in water and energy bills,

Reduce potential environmental impact,

Improve indoor environmental quality for a healthy and productive workplace,

Provide clear direction for continual improvement

CASE 2: NATIONAL LIBRARY IN SINGAPORE

Escalators and water taps with motion-sensors

Use of natural lighting

Building garden and green root

Save about 10-per-cent on its monthly energy bill

CASE 2: NATIONAL LIBRARY SINGAPORE

CASE 2: GREEN CITIES IN CHINA AT A GLANCE

CASE 3: ENVAC’S UNDERGROUND WASTE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM

WHAT CAN WE DO?

• Responsibility for the environment

• Rethink the way we live, use energy, natural resources

• Issues:

1. Reducing Exhaustion

2. Recycle Waste

3. Renewing Energy

Time:

1. Brainstorming: 10 minutes

2. Presentation: 4-5 minutes / group

GENERATION “WE”

Together we can make a difference for a better world
