Why Sustainability?

• Creates a Long Term Approach to environmental
  protection and process improvements
• Prevents Pollution from the start
• Calls for Systems Thinking, (e.g. the inter-
  connectedness of the economy, environment, social
  and national security concerns).
• Helps identify a Strategy or Framework
• Leverages Scarce Resource

5
Why are We Doing These Things?

• RCRA Section 6002
• Pollution Prevention Act of 1990
• Energy Policy Act of 1992
• Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR)
• Executive Orders Greening Government
• Individual Agency/Departmental policies
• Cost savings
• Its the Right Thing To Do!

Practical Importance of Sustainability

• Global warming/ozone depletion
• Habitat destruction and impacts on biodiversity
• Air, water, soil pollution / depletion
• Insecurity of dependence on foreign oil and other
  scarce resources
• Increasing impact of the developing world

Practical Importance of SustainabilityWhy
Sustainable Design?

• Buildings consume 30-40 of our total energy and
  60 of our electricity
• About ¼ of the increase in CO2 in the atmosphere
  is due to buildings
• Buildings consume 40 of raw stone, gravel and
  sand 25 of virgin wood
• Construction creates 2-2.5 pounds of solid waste
  per square foot 30-35 of landfill space is
  building-generated waste

14
Practical Importance of SustainabilityWhy
Sustainable Design?

• Sustainable design makes environmental sense and
  business sense
• Reduce environmental impact
• Reduce operating costs
• Reduce some first costs
• Enhance employee health and safety
• Improve employee productivity
• Enhances our homeland energy security

Sustainable Design and Constructability
RELATIONSHIP TO CONVENTIONAL CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
25
Pentagon Renovation Program Initiatives

• Bottom line Sustainable design includes not
  only environmental considerations, but how
  environment integrates with cost, schedule,
  operations, maintenance, and worker/employee
  considerations
• Constructability deals with the practical
  implementation of sustainable design - underpins
  all efforts - balance constructability with
  sustainability

26
Greening of the PentagonSummary of Initiatives

• Improvements to pedestrian/vehicular traffic
  flow
• Greater flexibility for future changes
• Investments in new technology and alternative
• sources of energy

• New Heating Refrigeration Plant and utility
  distribution system
• State-of-the-art climate control system,
  tighter thermal building envelope
• Open bay environment improves energy
  efficiency air flow, lighting
• Use of environmentally safe materials

Leading by Example A Report to the President on
Federal Energy and Environmental Management
(2000-2001)
December 2002, John L. Howard, Jr.Federal
Environmental Executive

• Another innovative partnering effort is the
  Federal Network for Sustainability (FNS), an
  alliance of 13 west cost Federal agencies,
  representing 160,000 Federal employees, who share
  staff, authorities, and experience to
  collectively reduce waste, pollution, and energy
  consumption. The principal goal of the FNS is to
  use the vast consumer power of the Federal
  government to promote sustainable practices. Its
  current efforts are focused on advancing the
  demand for greener copier paper helping to
  influence the market for more sustainable
  electronic products purchasing alternative and
  renewable energy and implementing environmental
  management systems.

What If

• DoD/U.S. developed the world model for energy
  efficiency.
• U.S. led the world in eliminating the need for
  fossil fuels.
• The need for import oil was eliminated.
• U.S. was able to reduce the production of
  hazardous waste to zero.
