Defining Sustainability

• Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the

ability of future generations to meet their own needs”

• The idea of sustainability, is to ensure that our actions and

decisions today do not inhibit the opportunities of future

generations.

• The concept of maximizing the effectiveness of resources use

while minimizing the impact of that use on the environment

Heat Island Effect -1

• The term "heat island" describes built up areas that are hotter

than nearby rural areas.

• The annual mean air temperature of a city with 1 million people

or more can be 1–3°C warmer than its surroundings.

• In the evening, the difference can be as high as 12°C.

• Heat islands can affect communities by increasing summertime

peak energy demand, air conditioning costs, air pollution and

greenhouse gas emissions, heat-related illness and mortality

11

Sustainable Sites

Heat Island Effect -2

• When examining cities in arid

and semi-arid regions – such

as North Africa and the

American Southwest --

scientists found that they are

only slightly warmer than

surrounding areas in summer

and sometimes cooler than

surrounding areas in winter.

lighting products

• About 80% energy saving over incandescent bulbs.

• Long life up to 10,000 hours

• It can operate within 130-280 V range

• Low cost of maintenance

• High luminous efficiency

• Available in different colors to create desired ambience

• Lamps designed for power factor higher than 0.85

46

24

Lighting – Led Lamps


• A LED (Light Emitting Diode) lamp is a

solid-state lamp that uses light-

emitting diodes as the source of light.

• The operational life of current white

LED lamps is 100,000 hours. This is 11

years of continuous operation, or 22

years of 50% operation.

• Reduces energy costs — uses at least

75% less energy than incandescent

lighting, saving on operating expenses.

• Reduces maintenance costs

• Reduces cooling costs — LEDs produce

very little heat. 47

Do we need specific guidance on sustainability?

• Definitions are not always that

helpful in practice

• Need to define what you want to achieve in your context

• Education, training and awareness raising

• Means of assessing design options and applications

• Level playing field for developers

• Showing the future direction of policy

80

Finding the Way

• What is the range of issues to

consider?

• How are they linked together?

• What standards and advice are out

there?

• What might decision makers expect?

• What does good practice look like –

marketing opportunities?

• How can I do more – simple “wins”?

• What might I have to consider in the

future?

Assessing Sustainability

83


Method 1: End-User Impact

• Calculation of negative

externalities created by the

direct actions of the end users

• Externalities (carbon

footprint, hazardous gas

emissions, waste production,

etc.) are calculated by looking

at the consumption processes

of goods and services.

84

43


Method 2: Lifecycle

85


Method 2: Lifecycle

• 75 % of the life cycle costs of

a building are in the

operation and alterations of

the facility over 25 years.

• Renovations in existing

buildings can yield energy

savings of up to 30%.

• Long term sustainable

maintenance offering

preventive maintenance can

keep those savings in place

86

44


Method 3: Lifestyle

• Focus on lifestyles of the

users instead of their impacts

• Lifestyle is a significant factor

that affects use of energy in

buildings

• Examples: bigger screen TVs,

more home appliances to

ease the life, air conditioning

systems, etc.

international green

building rating system

which is widely used in the

US and other countries.

• It consists of a suite of

rating systems for the

design, construction and

operation of high

performance green

buildings, homes and

neighborhoods.

94

48

LEED (USA)

History

• LEED was established in 1998.

• LEED NCv1.0 was a pilot version issued in 1998.

• These projects helped inform the USGBC of the requirements

for such a rating system, and this knowledge was incorporated

into LEED NCv2.0.

• LEED NCv2.2 was released in 2005, and v3 in 2009.

• Today, LEED consists of a suite of nine rating systems for:

• Green Building Design & Construction 2

• Green Interior Design & Construction 2

• Green Building Operations & Maintenance 2

• Green Neighborhood Development 1

• Green Home Design and Construction 2

95

LEED (USA)

Distribution of LEED points (%) Energy gets the most attention

from designers. Why?

• In LEED 2009, achieving 40

points is enough to attain a

LEED certification.

• There are 35 available points

under energy credits

• Energy credits can also lead to

achievements in other credits

• Creating buildings that have

less operating costs, �higher

market values

LEED (USA)

LEED and Energy Use

• In 2006, US Green Building Council (USGBC) conducted a

research in corporation with the New Building Institute

(NBI) on 121 buildings to determine the energy use in LEED

certified buildings.

• Result: LEED certified buildings consume 25-30% less

energy per floor area than the national average provided

by Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey

(CBECS)

• For existing buildings LEED has

developed LEED-EB which is for

Operation & Maintenance.

• Research results: tremendous Return on

investment (ROI).

• Saving: an average cost saving of $6.68

per square foot of floor space.

• Overall cost of LEED-EB implementation

and certification: an average of $2.43

per square foot of floor space.

• Overall cost of LEED-EB implementation

and certification: significantly reduced if

automation and technology are

integrated into the implementation. 102

52

LEED (USA)

Disadvantages - 1

• LEED is a design tool and not a

performance measurement tool.

• LEED is not climate-specific

(designers may make materials

or design choices that garner a

LEED point, even though they

may not be the most site or

climate-appropriate choice

available).

• LEED is a measurement tool for

green building in the United

States and it is developed and

continuously modified for areas

in the U.S.103

LEED (USA)

Disadvantages - 2

• LEED rating system is not

sensitive and does not vary

enough with regard to local

environmental conditions (a

building in city “X” would

receive the same credit as a

building in city “Y” for water

conservation, though the

principle is more important in

the latter case).

• LEED certification costs require

money that could be used to

make the building in question

even more sustainable.

Definition of QSAS

QSAS (Qatar)

• Qatar Sustainability

Assessment System (QSAS) is a

green building certification

system developed for Qatar.

• The primary objective of QSAS

is to create a sustainable built

environment that minimizes

ecological impact while

addressing the specific

regional needs and

environment of Qatar

107

QSAS (Qatar)

• QSAS consists of a series of sustainable categories and

criteria, each with a direct impact on environmental

stress mitigation.

• Each category measures a different aspect of the project’s

environmental impact.

• The categories define these broad impacts and address

ways in which a project can mitigate the negative

environmental effects.

• These categories are then broken down into specific

criteria that measure and define individual issues.
