Politics of Sustainability

• ...each day brings further evidence that the ways
  we use energy strengthen our adversaries and
  threaten our planet...We will harness the sun and
  the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run
  our factories...And to those nations like ours
  that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no
  longer afford indifference to suffering outside
  our borders nor can we consume the worlds
  resources without regard to effect. For the world
  has changed, and we must change with it.
• - President Barack Obama, inauguration speech
  (20 January 2009)

Why Sustainable Buildings?

• Today we are faced with many questions
• Energy Supply
• Reliance on foreign resources
• Economic growth worldwide
• Rising Costs of Energy
• Peak Energy Demands
• Carbon Footprint
• How big a role do Buildings play in this?

Sustainable Systemstraditional roofing process

• Wastes in original cost of insulation, tear-off
  labor disposal
• Wastes original natural resources
• Requires greater amount of new non-renewable
  resources
