www.Mckissock.com
Most new construction is at least, in some way, green. This means that most new buildings are using sustainable construction materials and systems, providing better indoor air quality (IAQ) than homes built in the past, and generally decreasing home utility bills for their owners.

1-800-328-2008
What is Green Building?
Sustainable design (or green design) begins with an understanding that building choices are not made in isolation. The choices work in harmony to achieve ‘sustainability’ once the building is constructed. The notion of a building sustainability.

We understand that our cars are made up of interacting components and systems – when one component fails, it affects the performance of the entire vehicle. The same goes for buildings.
High energy bills, uneven temperatures from room-to-room, drafts, moisture, mold, mildew, poor indoor air quality (IAQ), ice dams, pest infestations, seemingly uncontrollable humidity levels, and even premature deterioration of building materials can all be the result of a breakdown in the relationship between the systems in a house – the building envelope (shell), heating and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, and the occupants. www.McKissock.com

What is Green Building?
While the Federal Trade Commission grants FTC approval for meats and such, there is no government entity determining what is “green” and what is not. A green (or sustainable) building is a design in which the focus of the construction is www.Mckissock.com
such as water and materials. It is mainly built for reducing waste, environmental degradation, and pollution. We are trying to preserve our earth as much as possible with such construction. www.McKissock.com

humanity and promote a sustainable world] code standards.
Zero use of CFC-based refrigerants in the building. [Air conditioning and refrigeration systems require refrigerants -- often CFCs (or chlorofluorocarbons) to produce their cooling effect. The most shocking fact about CFCs is that they have exceptionally long atmospheric life which, in certain cases, even extends to 100 years.] Purchase of “green power” (a renewable energy source such as wind power) to supply 50% of the building’s energy consumption.

Is building green more expensive initially?
Yes. For example, the owner of a 38-unit apartment house recently reported that her heating expenses rose from $22,000 in 2000 to $38,000 in 2008, representing a 70% increase in operating cost. www.Mckissock.com
rent-burdened families who pay more than 30% of their incomes on rent.
The increase in heating expenses was stifling on-going maintenance and kept her from re-investing in upgrades and other capital improvements.
www.McKissock.com
1-800-328-2008
Is building green more expensive initially?
She found that preserving and upgrading one of her existing apartments cost half as much as building a new one. A contractor suggested that a retrofit, including a new boiler, vent damper controls, and other improvements to the building’s envelope www.Mckissock.com
insulation (none of which is very disruptive to tenants) would cost approximately $2,500 per unit.
Yes. That’s not cheap. But the payback to the owner was estimated to be six years.

Rating Systems
The industry supports incentivizing owners to make energy efficiency improvements and is strongly supportive of new green building. The industry is greatly divided, however, when it comes to Energy Performance www.Mckissock.com

Green Roofs
www.Mckissock.com
The primary objective of a green roof is to absorb the precipitation which contacts the roof surfaces and release it at a reduced and measured pace. The green roof reduces runoff volumes from rain and snowmelt and will minimize deleterious impacts from concentrated storm water runoff. Roof gardens reduce air conditioning and heating costs and can have a life expectancy of 50 years.

Solar Power
“A solar cell is a device that converts the energy of sunlight directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. Sometimes the term solar cell is reserved for devices intended specifically to capture energy from sunlight, such as solar panels and solar cells, while the www.Mckissock.com
source is unspecified. Assemblies of cells are used to make solar panels, solar modules, or photovoltaic arrays. Photovoltaics is the field of technology and research related to the application of solar cells in producing electricity for practical use. The energy generated this way is an example of solar energy -- also known as solar power.” www.McKissock.com

Solar Power
There are two ways of converting sunlight energy into electricity: directly or indirectly.
Direct conversion is achieved by using Solar Panels, also called PhotoVoltaic Arrays. Most solar panels are constructed www.Mckissock.com
analogous to the chlorophyll used by living organisms. Solar Panels can be installed either on the ground, on country-side houses or massive power plants, or on rooftops for individual use.

Which one of these is best depends on the climate, soil conditions, available land, and local installation costs at the site. All of these approaches can be used for residential and commercial building applications.

Closed-Loop Systems
Horizontal
www.Mckissock.com
This type of installation is generally most cost-effective for residential installations, particularly for new construction where sufficient land is available. It requires trenches at least four feet deep. The most common layouts either use two pipes, one buried at six feet, and the other at four feet, or two pipes placed side-by-side at five feet in the ground in a two-foot wide trench. The Slinky™ method of looping pipe allows more pipe in a shorter trench, which cuts down on installation costs and makes horizontal installation possible in areas it would not be possible with conventional horizontal applications.

1-800-328-2008
Closed-Loop Systems
Vertical
www.Mckissock.com
Large commercial buildings and schools often use vertical systems because the land area required for horizontal loops would be prohibitive. Vertical loops are also used where the soil is too shallow for trenching, and they minimize the disturbance to existing landscaping. For a vertical system, holes (approximately four inches in diameter) are drilled about 20 feet apart and 100 - 400 feet deep. Into these holes go two pipes that are connected at the bottom with a U-bend to form a loop. The vertical loops are connected with horizontal pipe (i.e., manifold), placed in trenches, and connected to the heat pump in the building.

If the site has an adequate water body, this may be the lowest cost option. A supply line pipe is run underground from the building to the water and coiled into circles at least eight feet under the surface to prevent freezing. The coils should be placed only in a water source that meets minimum volume, depth, and quality criteria. www.McKissock.com

This type of system uses well or surface body water as the heat exchange fluid that circulates directly through the GHP system. Once it has circulated through the system, the water returns to the ground through the well, a recharge well, or surface discharge. This option is obviously practical only where there is an adequate supply of relatively clean water, and all local codes and regulations regarding groundwater discharge are met.

Hydroelectric
Our final renewable energy source, hydroelectric power, uses flowing water to create electricity. The most common type of hydroelectric plant uses a dam on a river to store water in a reservoir. Water released from the reservoir flows through a pipe and into a turbine, which spins to drive a generator, producing electricity. Pumped storage plants use a two-reservoir system, pumping water from a river or a reservoir to a higher reservoir when electricity prices are low during the night. When the value of electricity on the grid is higher during the day, water is released from the upper reservoir, spinning the turbines to produce electricity.

The GBFC was formed to help fill the void of information, methods, and practices for the valuation and underwriting of sustainable properties. When the Consortium was founded in 2006, the public sector was pioneering sustainability in some of its properties, yet the private sector was well behind. Accordingly, the Consortium chose to focus its efforts on enabling private sector participants to make sustainable property investment decisions from a financial/fiduciary perspective.
