WORLD GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL
Facilitating the transition of the building industry to operate in a way that balances Social, Environmental and Economic demands to deliver long term value.
Paul King, CEO UK-GBC, Chair Europe Network
Carbon Emissions in Buildings
•countries will not meet emission reduction targets unless energy efficiency gains in the building sector are implemented
• failure to act now on energy-efficiency and low-carbon technologies will lock in detrimental energy and carbon impacts for decades
GHG Mitigation PotentialThe building sector has significantly higher potential to mitigate GHG
emissions than any other sector, cost effectively.
• more than 100 million people employed worldwide• contributes more than 10% of global gross domestic product
Global Construction Output 2009$7.5 trillion

– Attraction of best talent
– Client brand value
– Planning consents
The Emerging Business Case cont’d• Reward
– Supply chain productivity improvement
– Productivity increases up to 10%
– ROI up to 7%
– Lower operating costs for waste, energy etc.
– New markets, e.g. refurbishment
• Right thing to do
– GHG Emission reduction potential
– Better quality buildings
– Highest whole life value at lowest whole life cost
Growth of Rating Tools
• BREEAM launched in 1990 -295,000 buildings certified, over 1M registered
• LEED launched in 1993 –35,000 buildings certified or registered
• DGNB launched 2007 – 140 certified projects

World Green Building Council• Champions the GBC model and provides resources for
countries to establish national GBCs
• Creates networking and knowledge transfer opportunities
• Establishing Regional Networks to enhance collaboration and impact
• Produces reports to communicate our impact and progress
• Be the common voice of GBCs at international meetings and negotiations - to become more than the sum of our parts
