Certification Levels shown apply to all LEED 2009 rating systems, except LEED for Homes. LEED for Homes: Total available points is 136. (Certified: 45-59; Silver: 60-74; Gold: 75-89; Platinum: 90+) Notes
- As the Green Building industry has matured its focus has begun to evolve.
- Lets have a very quick review of the major Green Building rating systems.
- The Living Building Challenge (LBC) is a certification program that addresses development. The core underlying principle of the Living Building Challenge is that buildings should mimic nature and natural systems—and the Challenge uses the metaphor of the flower to illustrate this principle. Like a flower, all elements of the built environment are rooted in place. So, imagine a building that is informed by its eco-region’s characteristics. A building that generates energy with renewable resources, captures and treats water, operates efficiently and as part of a larger community; a building that acts as feedstock for new developments at the end of its life;
- The core framework of the Challenge is its arrangement into seven primary categories, known as Petals, drawing further from the metaphor of the flower. These are similar to LEED’s Credit Categories. But it begins to focus much more on Human Health and Wellbeing. The Water and Materials Petals most affect Kohler products.
- The big nasty chemicals! Two types of Declare labels. The first label allows a manufacturer to simply state what is in their product. If it contains one of the above listed chemicals it cant be used in a LBC project. If it does NOT have one of the above listed chemicals it can be used in a project but you will not earn FULL LBC Certification
- Another level of Declare label requires you to list if you have one of the above listed 777 chemicals in your product. What project teams discovered when they did a deep dive into the Living Building Challenge Red List, is that seemingly simple list of 22 chemicals actually represents 45 chemical groups with multiple alias accounting for 777 distinct chemical CAS numbers. You must list what percentage of your product is made up of these chemicals.
- This part of the LBC has become CRITICAL to the Green Building movement. It is like a nutrition label for building materials and products. And it is interchangeable and used in LEED, the LBC and WELL! We will discuss this in more detail in future slides
- Terminology related to sustainable materials and resources includes: Recycled content: Pre-consumer recycled content: Material is recycled from the manufacturing process. For example, scrap or cuttings left over from a manufacturing process. Post-consumer recycled content: Material is diverted from consumer waste streams. For example, concrete can often be recycled into an aggregate used for road beds. Gypsum wallboard can be ground into a soil additive. Material reuse: Reuse of materials or, in some cases, whole buildings or portions of buildings. For example, walls or floors can often be reused in a new design. Life cycle assessment (LCA): Understanding of building materials is based on life cycle assessment. This is an approach that recognizes and, when possible, quantifies the environmental impacts of materials across all phases of manufacturing, use, and disposal. LCA can trace the origin and fate of materials across hundreds of segments of the economy and apportion the share of impacts to individual materials, assemblies (groups of materials), and entire buildings.
- Key Point: Savvy product manufacturers are looking at the entire product life cycle to make decisions that will ultimately create products that have lower environmental impact and as well as a better – more sustainable choice for consumers. What are product manufacturers doing to provide consumers with more sustainable choices – and A/D products that meet Green Building criteria? Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) & Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) – Materials Manufacturing Product life cycle assessment is the process of monitoring the different phases of the life of a product from creation until it is disposed of or permanently taken out of commission and put into storage. Companies can use product life cycles to maximize value and reduce waste. It takes years to develop a life cycle assessment on a product, but it can be valuable information when it is compiled. The practice of Life Cycle Analysis identifies environmental hot spots in products and materials and establishes the benchmark against which improvements can be measured. Companies use LCA and LCI to demonstrate transparency and corporate credibility to stakeholders and customers. LCA is also used in new product research and development, when environmental footprint is important to the future marketing or cost structure of a product. Up to 80% of a products environmental impacts are decided during the design of that product. In order for product manufacturers (like Kohler) to produce EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations) they must know what materials, water, and energy goes into creating their product. The way this is done is through life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle inventories (LCI): a comprehensive analysis of the environmental impact a product has form the initial sourcing of raw materials, through the manufacturer’s operations, how the consumer uses the product, to the product’s eventual disposal (end of life). https://www.researchgate.net/post/Is_80_of_environmental_impact_determined_during_the_design_phase_or_not
- Kohler has a team working on the development of EPDs for all products. The first products to receive EPDs will be vitreous products. There are multiple vitreous products with EPDs that are posted on the Kohler website. If you need an EPD on a vitreous product that does not currently have please contact Joe Azzarello and he will begin the process to get one completed. Usually this will take about 2 to 3 weeks. Once vitreous products have been completed the team will work on cast iron and stainless products. Please note that with the vast number of products we have it will take several years to complete all the EPDs.
- We spend 90% of our time indoors and it often has a negative effect on our health and longevity. WELL was developed to strictly focus on human health and address the issues of the built environment that cause stress on the body. WELL does not measure water or energy use – it focuses on creating a healthy human environment inside buildings.
- The WELL Building Standard™ (WELL) is the first building standard to focus exclusively on the health and wellness of the people in buildings. The WELL Building Standard takes a holistic approach to health in the built environment addressing behavior, operations and design. The WELL Building Standard is the culmination of seven years of rigorous research in collaboration with leading physicians, scientists and industry professionals. WELL was developed by integrating scientific and medical research and literature on environmental health, behavioral factors, health outcomes and demographic risk factors that affect health with leading practices in building design and management. WELL also references existing standards and best practice guidelines set by governmental and professional organizations where available, in order to harmonize and clarify existing thresholds and requirements. WELL was launched in October 2014 following the completion of a three-phase comprehensive expert peer review process encompassing a scientific, practitioner and medical review.
- WELL is a performance-based system for measuring and certifying features of the built environment that impact human health and well-being, through air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort and mind. It marries best practices in design and construction with evidence-based medical and scientific research – harnessing the built environment as a vehicle to support human health and well-being. The WELL Building Standard™ can be applied across many real estate sectors, and the current WELL v1 is optimized for commercial and institutional office buildings. WELL is further organized into Project Typologies of New and Existing Buildings, New and Existing Interiors and Core & Shell, which take into account the specific set of considerations that are unique to a particular building type. Pilot Programs are now available for new market sectors including retail, multifamily residential, education, restaurant and commercial kitchen projects.
- The WELL Scorecard is the aggregate of all of the WELL Scores for each Concept. The scorecard shows Gold level certification.
- Once again WELL has “concepts” that are similar to the LEED Credit Categories and LBC Petals. The Air and Comfort Concepts most affect Kohler products.
- Each feature of the WELL Building Standard™ is ascribed to the human body systems that are intended to benefit from its implementation. This enables project teams to classify the intended benefits of each WELL feature and develop a comprehensive set of strategies. While there are different ways to group the body’s various systems, the WELL Building Standard considers each feature’s impact on these categories of body systems.
- We can build Green for both the environment and our health. The actual cost to design and construct the building is the least costly part of operating a building for 30+ years. Why not focus on reducing the major costs of building operation versus just the energy or water use?
- Physical workplace is one of the top three factors affecting performance and job satisfaction. WELL empowers the creation of healthy environments for people to live, work and play, enhancing occupant health and quality of life globally.
- WELL works harmoniously with LEED and the Living Building Challenge, and is expanding alignment with other international leading green building systems like Three Star, Green Star and BREEAM. IWBI welcomes projects to pursue both LEED and the Living Building Challenge alongside WELL in order to promote both environmental sustainability and human health. A number of overlapping features exist between WELL and both LEED and the Living Building Challenge, which are described in detail in the appendices of the WELL Building Standard.
- WELL is administered by the International WELL Building Institute™ (IWBI™), a public benefit corporation whose mission is to improve human health and well-being through the built environment. IWBI has joined forces with Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI), the same organization that administers LEED certification, to provide third-party certification for WELL – helping to ensure that WELL and LEED certification works seamlessly.
