Additional construction costs
GREEN BUILDING: NAVFAC Sustainable Design
Process

Reduce Total Ownership Costs (TOC’s)
By implementing sustainable design concepts and principles
of shore facilities

LEED
Use LEED as the tool in applying sustainable development
and as a metric to measure the sustainability achieved

Self Certification
Design Team, led by a LEED Accredited Professional,
certifies that the project will meet the requirements for a
LEED rating

USGBC Certification FY09 & Beyond
Design Team certification is verified by “Peer Review”
from a third party

RAISING THE BAR & SHIFTING THE WEIGHT
From Credits to Outcomes
“…The bar has been reset for green building leadership because the urgency of our mission
has challenged the industry to move faster and reach further than ever before.”
Rick Fedrizzi, USGBC President, CEO & Founding Chair
Environmental and Human Impact Credit Weighting:
Highest Credit Weightings are given to building practices that improve energy efficiency and reduce
CO2 emissions to align with USGBC’s goal of climate change mitigation.
Adjust weights of key impact categories:
•
•
•
•
•
Building systems (Fuel & Electricity Consumption)
Transportation (Commuting and Services)
Water Consumption (Prerequisite: 20% Reduction)
Materials (Core, Shell and Finishings)
Indoor Environmental Quality
Regional Bonus Credits
To provide incentive for the achievement
of credits that address geographically
specific environmental priorities

THE FUTURE: Net Zero Energy
NET-ZERO-ENERGY
ASHRAE defines net-zero-energy buildings as those which, on an annual basis, use no more energy
from the utility grid than is provided by on-site renewable sources.
These buildings use 50% to 70% less energy than comparable traditional counterparts.
The remaining energy use is derived from renewable sources, such as solar panels or wind turbines
located at the facility.
Net-Zero-Energy Buildings
“Can these types of facilities be market viable by 2030?”
By Kent Peterson, P.E.
The Future
Renewable Energy Sources: Wind, Water, Biomass, Solar, Geothermal
THE FUTURE: Raising the Bar – Further and Further
The best way to predict the future is to design it.” – Buckminster Fuller
BIOMIMICRY
Biomimicry is an innovative method that seeks sustainable solutions by emulating nature’s time tested
patterns and strategies, eg. a solar cell inspired by a leaf. The goal is to create products,
processes and policies – new ways of living – that are well adapted to life on earth over the long
haul.
bioWAVE™
Currently a prototype is being tested off the coast of Tasmania. This system called bioWAVE™ mimics
the swaying motion of seaplants in the current. As the system sways in the tide, electricity is
generated. If at any point the system is in danger because of strong currents, it simply lies flat
until the ocean calms down again.

THE FUTURE: Raising the Bar – Further and Further
ARTIFICIAL PHOTOSYNTHESIS
The Air Force Office of Scientific Research is funding an MIT team led by Dr. Daniel Nocera to
investigate new methods to store solar energy. These scientists are seeking new sources of
clean energy by trying to mimic the way plants and trees do it, by converting sunlight into fuel.
Unlike standard solar panels on rooftops or arrays of solar collectors in the desert this is a form of
“artificial photosynthesis”. It tries to imitate the elaborate system that microbes, algae and
green plants developed over 3 billion of years of evolution.
•
Research process: Using the model of photosynthesis which naturally stores energy, artifically
split water into hydrogen and oxygen molecules.
•
Goal: Have buildings serve as their own power stations by using only a few gallons of water
daily and light energy from the sun.
