Academia’s Critical Role in Climate Change Buildings & Cities December 09, 2020 "We specifically suggest that professional program core design studios immediately:  · promote a deep understanding of the relationship between built and natural environments  · reach across disciplines to cultivate a broader understanding of design and planning issues and solutions  · engage social and environmental equity issues that recognize the consequences of design decisions  · connect students with the profession by bringing in working professionals actively designing zero carbon buildings  · incorporate zero carbon baseline requirements for all studio design projects."

"Professional design schools can provide the leadership needed to address what is this century’s greatest challenge – the preservation of a habitable planet. Providing students with new knowledge and capabilities is now even more critical if we are to act responsibly to stay within a 1.5˚C budget. Five broad challenges for higher education are presented."

Can We Educate Architects to Design the Future? Buildings & Cities January 04, 2021 "Marsha Maytum and Bill Leddy (2020) pointed out that... Sustainability should be a major component of the NAAB program accreditation criteria. We strongly recommend that the principles underlying the AIA Framework for Design Excellence provide the basis for defining sustainability in this context. Those graduating from an accredited architecture program must be exposed to and demonstrate the ability to engage in: Design integration, Design synthesis, Building integration, Sustainability (as embodied by the AIA COTE Top Ten/Framework for Design Excellence), and Environmental stewardship values."

Sustainability, climate action, and environmental stewardship must move to the top of the mission statement of NAAB. Urgency! This is critical to the continuing relevance, influence, and value of architecture as a profession that serves society."

Education and Training: Mainstreaming Zero Carbon Buildings & Cities November 11, 2020 "How can education and training develop the capacities, capabilities and competences to rapidly decarbonise both new construction and the existing building stock? This special issue examines the options for a rapid transition within universities and training colleges to equip students with new knowledge and skills. Solutions involve the coordination of a wide range of issues: educational and training pedagogies, curricular change, governance and policy leadership, changes to the roles of teachers and certification bodies."

Biden, in a Burst of Climate Orders, Rejoins the Paris Agreement New York Times January 20 2021 "WASHINGTON — President Joseph R. Biden Jr. on Wednesday recommitted the United States to the Paris climate agreement, the international accord designed to avert catastrophic global warming, and ordered federal agencies to start reviewing and reinstating more than 100 environmental regulations that were weakened or rolled back by former President Donald J. Trump. Mr. Biden has elevated tackling the climate crisis among his highest priorities. In addition to curbing global warming, he has vowed that ending the coronavirus pandemic, restoring the economy and addressing racial injustice will be the central causes of his administration. "We’re going to combat climate change in a way we have not before," Mr. Biden said in the Oval Office on Wednesday evening, just before signing the executive orders. Even so, he cautioned: "There are just executive actions. They are important but we’re going to need legislation for a lot of the things we’re going to do." "

"Under the Paris Agreement, nearly 200 nations have vowed to reduce planet warming emissions to avert the most disastrous consequences of climate change. A letter to the United Nations signed by Mr. Biden on Wednesday formally starts the 30-day process of bringing the United States back into the accord. But analysts cautioned that Mr. Biden’s actions on day one must be quickly followed by a series of aggressive domestic climate policies to drastically lower the country’s emissions of planet-warming pollution from tailpipes, smokestacks and oil and gas wells."

Biden, Emphasizing Job Creation, Signs Sweeping Actions to Fight Climate Change New York Times January 27 2021 "President Biden on Wednesday signed a sweeping series of executive orders that aim to “confront the existential threat of climate change” throughout the federal government, framing them as an economic boon that would create millions of new jobs. “We’ve already waited too long to deal with this climate crisis. We can’t wait any longer,” said Mr. Biden, speaking at the White House. “We see it with our own eyes. We feel it. We know it in our bones. And it’s time to act.” Looking to counteract Republican claims that his climate policies would hurt an economy already weakened by the pandemic, the president cast many of his orders as job creators, among other things pledging to use the purchasing power of the federal government to buy a vast fleet of zero-emissions vehicles. “This will mean one million new jobs in the American automobile industry,” Mr. Biden said. Wednesday’s executive orders also set broad new foreign policy goals, including specifying that climate change, for the first time, will be a core part of all foreign policy and national security decisions."

"Federal agencies also will be ordered to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies “and identify new opportunities to spur innovation.” Overhauling the tax breaks — worth billions of dollars to the oil, coal and gas industries — to help pay for Mr. Biden’s $2 trillion climate change plan was also a major campaign promise. However, there is little the executive branch can do unilaterally without action from Congress.... BP in a statement said it wants to work with the administration to develop “well-designed climate policies.” "

Earth is now losing 1.2 trillion tons of ice each year. And it’s going to get worse. Washington Post January 25 2021 "Global ice loss has increased rapidly over the past two decades, and scientists are still underestimating just how much sea levels could rise, according to alarming new research published this month. From the thin ice shield covering most of the Arctic Ocean to the mile-thick mantle of the polar ice sheets, ice losses have soared from about 760 billion tons per year in the 1990s to more than 1.2 trillion tons per year in the 2010s, a new study released Monday shows. That is an increase of more than 60 percent, equating to 28 trillion tons of melted ice in total — and it means that roughly 3 percent of all the extra energy trapped within Earth’s system by climate change has gone toward turning ice into water. “That’s like more than 10,000 ‘Back to the Future’ lightning strikes per second of energy melting ice around-the-clock since 1994,” said William Colgan, an ice-sheet expert at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland. “That is just a bonkers amount of energy.” "

"Not all the ice the planet has lost translates directly into rising seas. For instance, 7.6 trillion tons, the largest single total, comes from the melting of the floating ice cover of the Arctic Ocean, which does not raise seas at all. Nor do the 6.5 trillion tons subtracted from Antarctic ice shelves, as those, too, were already afloat. Still, the loss of floating ice paves the way for the unlocking of ice on land in Greenland and Antarctica, where 99 percent of all the planet’s fresh water sits in frozen form, crushing down the invisible landforms beneath it."

Endless "Sustainable" Growth is an Oxymoron Common\Edge January 25 2021 "In a previous Common Edge article, I briefly discussed a concept that I call the “Triple Bottom Lie,” which posits that more people, plus more consumption by each person, plus an economic system completely dependent on the aforementioned items, can just keep working forever, without consequences. Historically, the U.S. has accepted the economic shibboleth of endless growth because it reduced class conflict; a rising tide (supposedly) lifted all boats, rafts and yachts included. We are, however, approaching the limits of growth, from both a resource standpoint (we’re running out of raw materials) and a technological standpoint (our inventions are progressively less revolutionary). Jonny Campbell, a documentary filmmaker who was trained as an architect, made the following observation: "This brings to mind something that an architecture tutor said to us in the first days of architecture school, which was “constraint is the catalyst of creativity.” As the design professions increasingly question how they operate in a world of finite resources, I think it is important to carry forward a sense that constraint and scarcity, when coupled with the right approach to design, can result in projects of great value and richness." "

"An economy and a culture completely devoted to more of everything cannot function indefinitely. The consequences of dedicating our lives to endless consumption will soon enough be upon us, and the next can we kick might just be a bucket. The only question is whether the landing will be hard or soft—whether we’ll stagger blindly toward an abrupt and violent denouement, or walk confidently toward a different, but potentially richer and more secure future."

Architecture’s Carbon Problem AIA Blueprint For Better "Until recently, understanding the amount of carbon contributed by buildings has largely been a data problem. For years, government agencies and others reported CO2 emissions from buildings as being substantially lower than 40%. That changed when Ed Mazria, FAIA, an architect in Santa Fe, New Mexico, founded Architecture 2030, a nonprofit initiative to transform the global built environment from the major contributor of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to a central part of the solution to the climate crisis. Mazria dug into the data behind the materials used to create buildings and came to a new conclusion: The profession of architecture has been on a "carbon binge" for decades. While transportation garners many of the headlines about CO2 emissions, it surprisingly only accounts for about 23% of global emissions. Building operations, materials, and the construction sector, by contrast, cause most of the rest. "We know the total amount of CO2 that buildings contribute is about 40%," Mazria says. "The numbers are evolving with the research and are adjusted annually to reflect actual emissions." "

"Today the global building floor area is about 2.4 trillion square feet. By 2060, this number is expected to double. What does this mean? For the next 40 years, we’ll be adding the equivalent of another New York City to the planet every 34 days.  If we hope to stop climate change, all of it must be designed to meet zero-carbon standards. Overall, if we don’t reduce our current global CO2 emissions by 65% by 2030—and then to 0% by 2040—climate change will become irreversible."

Coal-Fired Power Took a Beating During the Pandemic, Study Finds New York Times February 8 2021 "According to a separate study by Ember Climate, an energy research organization based in London, global wind and solar power capacity increased last year despite the pandemic. That, combined with the relatively low operating costs, means that when power demand rebounds, a greater share of the total energy will quite likely come from low-emissions or renewable sources."

"A broad move away from coal power was an important factor in pushing down global greenhouse gas emissions, researchers said, and could help accelerate a shift toward renewable energy... Coal releases more carbon dioxide than any other form of power generation, so even the relatively small decreases in demand that caused coal plants to go offline resulted in substantial decreases in greenhouse gas emissions. Burning coal for power also pollutes the air, releasing toxins that have been linked to heart and lung problems and some neurological disorders... The trend away from coal could outlast the pandemic, the report said. That’s because power plants that use renewable energy, like wind or solar, are expensive to build. Once complete, though, it is not necessary to purchase fuels to run them."

Joe Biden wants 100% clean energy. Will California show that it’s possible? LA Times February 9 2021 "Policymakers across the country are looking to California to show that it’s possible to phase out fossil fuels. State law mandates 100% clean energy by 2045, and until recently, things seemed to be going well. Nearly two-thirds of California’s electricity came from climate-friendly sources in 2019, against the backdrop of a growing pre-pandemic economy. Two evenings of rolling blackouts in August 2020 offered a warning of more challenging times ahead. In a recent report examining what went wrong, state officials cast some of the blame on themselves. They said they had failed to require enough energy resources that can keep power flowing to air conditioners on hot summer evenings, after solar panels go dark."

Got Climate Anxiety? These People Are Doing Something About It New York Times February 4 2021 "After Britt Wray married in 2017, she and her husband began discussing whether or not they were going to have children. The conversation quickly turned to climate change and to the planet those children might inherit... She said she became sad and stressed, crying when she read new climate reports or heard activists speak. Jennifer Atkinson, an associate professor of environmental humanities at the University of Washington, Bothell, became depressed after students told her they couldn’t sleep because they feared social collapse or mass extinction."

"Over the years, however, her views on eco-distress have changed. “Our anger comes from a desire for justice, our grief arises from compassion,” she said. “If we got rid of those feelings, we’d lose the whole motivation to stay in this fight. So that’s been the real surprise: The thing I wanted to overcome turned out to be a kind of superpower.” "

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)  Wikipedia "The certification process for design teams is made up of two consecutive applications: one including design credits, and one including construction credits. All of the LEED credits in each rating system are assigned to either the design application or the construction application. The design credits include those that are the purview of the architect and the engineer, and are documented in the official construction drawings. The construction credits include those that are predominantly under the purview of the contractor, and are documented during the construction and commissioning of the building. Design teams have the option of achieving points under the Optimize Energy Performance credit by building an energy model. Buildings certified under LEED do not have to prove energy or water efficiency in practice to receive LEED certification points, but instead LEED uses modeling software to predict future energy use based on intended use. This has led to criticism of LEED's ability to accurately determine the efficiency of buildings."

THIS is LEED BETTER BUILDINGS ARE OUR LEGACY. WHAT IS LEED? The LEED plaque on a building is a mark of quality and achievement in green building. "Leaders across the globe have made LEED the most widely used green building rating system in the world with 1.85 million square feet of construction space certifying every day. LEED certification provides independent verification of a building or neighborhood’s green features, allowing for the design, construction, operations and maintenance of resource-efficient, high-performing, healthy, cost-effective buildings. LEED is the triple bottom line in action, benefiting people, planet and profit."

Do you know all the facts about LEED? General Building Contractors Association " · LEED offers a concise framework for identifying & implementing practical & measureable green building design, construction, operations & maintenance strategies and solutions.  · Every day, 1.8 million square feet of building space is LEED certified.  · LEED buildings command rents as much as 10% above market value, and lease up rates as much as 20% above average.  · As compared to conventional construction, LEED offers 30-40% savings on energy and water, 2-10% increase in employee productivity, and 35% less absenteeism.  · The average cost paid to USGBC for LEED certification is $5,000. The average cost for LEED implementation is 1-3% of a project’s total budget cost, and the average return on investment is 1-3 years.  · Every $1 per square foot saved in operating expenses increases property value by $10 per square foot."

Top 10 States for LEED in 2020 USGBC February 9 2021 "The recently announced 2020 Top 10 States for LEED list showcases the expansion of green building across the U.S., with Massachusetts ranking first in the nation for the highest gross square footage of LEED-certified space per person. Although the COVID-19 pandemic affected the building and construction industry in 2020, U.S. states still made sustainable, healthy buildings a priority, certifying over 400 million square feet of space to LEED standards." Texas: 9th place with 1.66 GSF per capita, 41.75 Million Sq. Ft., 139 projects certified in 2020

Washington, D.C.: 39.53 GSF per capita, 23.78 Million Sq. Ft., 129 projects certified in 2020

p 5 Ching: "Green buildings may challenge conventional notions of what is beautiful, but the opportunity arises to reevaluate our notions of beauty, to reexamine how we define beauty in buildings, and to explore beauty in new architectural forms."

"Beauty is the promise of function." Horatio Greenough 1805-1852

p 15 "The enterprise of designing and constructing a building is extremely challenging. Hundreds or even thousands of decisions are required to complete any single building, as tradeoffs of program, form, quality, cost, scheduling, and regulations are weighed. A green building presents even more challenges, with added constraints and often difficult performance goals to achieve. Designing and building an affordable green building-one that performs well in meeting the needs of its occupants, does not harm the environment, is conducive to good human health, and meets its owner’s budget -is the ultimate challenge."

P 27 "Since the early twentieth century, the system of building regulations in the United States has been based on model building codes developed by three regional model code groups. Although regional code development had been effective and responsive to the regulatory needs of local U.S. jurisdictions, by the early 1990s it had become obvious that the country needed a single coordinated set of national model building codes... After three years of extensive research and development, the first edition of the International Building Code was published in 1997."

2018 International Building Code

p 27 "The 2018 International Green Construction Code (IgCC) provides the design and construction industry with the single, most effective way to deliver sustainable, resilient, high-performance buildings." IgCC at Wikipedia "Implementation The work of the Code Council/AIA/ASTM team in developing the IGCC was joined with the Standard developed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES)."

p 28 "LEED v4.1 is the next generation standard for green building design, construction, operations and performance" "Download LEED v4.1 overview presentation to learn more about the rating system or use the slides to present to your stakeholders."

p 29 "The Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM)" World’s Leading Green Building Organizations Team Up to Accelerate Progress to Advance Green Buildings, Communities and Cities   "Nov. 13, 2018 – The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and the BRE Group (BRE) have announced a partnership that will promote the expertise of both organizations and harness their combined industry insights, to deliver a new industry approach to green building performance, solutions and benchmarking. Today, LEED and BREEAM are the two most widely used green building programs in the world. Collectively they have certified the assessments of over 640,000 buildings across more than 126,000 commercial, residential, infrastructure, community and city projects in 167 countries and territories. To-date there are more than 167,000 projects registered to LEED and BREEAM and collectively both programs help form one of the largest industry networks focused on delivering a better outcome for our built and natural environment." Green Globes "Why Green Globes is better"

"BRE is the world’s leading building science center," said Niall Trafford, CEO, BRE Group. "We have been at the forefront of developing knowledge and standards for almost 100 years. We sponsor and conduct research which continually improves productivity, quality, environmental performance, safety and well-being in the built environment. Our mission is to build a better world together and this partnership will enable us to substantially extend our reach and impact around the world. Now is a critical time to act. BRE and USGBC are building the future. What we can do together is truly strong than anything we do alone."

p 30 "Passive House Institute US, Inc. (PHIUS) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization committed to making high-performance passive building the mainstream market standard."

"In the HVAC and building performance industry, you will hear the terms CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), ACH (Air Changes per Hour) and ACH50 (Air Changes per Hour at 50 Pascals) thrown around a lot..."

p 31 "The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index is the industry standard by which a home’s energy efficiency is measured. It’s also the nationally recognized system for inspecting and calculating a home’s energy performance."

p 34 The 2030 Challenge "Architecture 2030’s mission is to rapidly transform the global built environment from the major contributor of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to a central part of the solution to the climate crisis. Architecture 2030 pursues two primary objectives: -to achieve a dramatic reduction in the energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the built environment; and, -to advance the development of sustainable, resilient, equitable, and carbon-neutral buildings and communities." Buildings generate nearly 40% of annual global GHG emissions. "Approximately two-thirds of the building area that exists today will still exist in 2050 [and] we expect to add 2.48 trillion square feet (230 billion m2) of new floor area to the global building stock, doubling it by 2060. This new building stock must be designed to meet zero-net-carbon standards." "The International WELL Building Institute™ (IWBI™) is leading the global movement to transform our buildings and communities in ways that help people thrive. IWBI delivers the cutting-edge WELL Building Standard™, the leading global rating system and the first to be focused exclusively on the ways that buildings, and everything in them, can improve our comfort, drive better choices, and generally enhance, not compromise, our health and wellness."

"2030 Palette is a free online platform that succinctly puts the principles and actions behind Zero Net Carbon and resilient built environments at the fingertips of designers, planners, and builders worldwide. The swatches, or sustainable design strategies, address energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission at all scales – from regional planning to building details." "ZeroCode is a building energy standard that includes both prescriptive and performance paths for building energy efficiency compliance ... and is supported by compliance tools and simulation software."

AN UNPRECEDENTED ACHIEVEMENT Architecture2030 Update February 7 2020 "Just when the outlook for meeting the 1.5°C Paris Climate Agreement target seems hopeless and unattainable, a potent confluence of actions taking place in the architecture, planning, and building community, and in cities and sub-national governments worldwide, has led to an extraordinary development... "Between 2005 to 2019, U.S. economic growth and increasing building construction decoupled from building sector energy use and CO2 emissions. While U.S. GDP increased 26.2% and building sector floor area increased 18%, building sector energy use decreased by 1.7%, and building sector CO2 emissions decreased by 21%, even though the U.S. added about 47 billion square feet to its building stock."

"Also, in 2005, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projected that building sector energy use from 2005 to 2019 would increase by 24.2%. However, actual building sector energy use decreased by 1.7% during that period, saving households and businesses throughout the U.S. about $1.8 trillion in projected energy costs."

p 51 Credit Category Overviews "The Location and Transportation (LT) category rewards thoughtful decisions about building location, with credits that encourage compact development, alternative transportation, and connection with amenities, such as restaurants and parks."

"The LT category is an outgrowth of the Sustainable Sites category, which formerly covered location-related topics."

"The Sustainable Sites (SS) category rewards decisions about the environment surrounding the building, with credits that emphasize the vital relationships among buildings, ecosystems, and ecosystem services."

"The Water Efficiency (WE) section addresses water holistically, looking at indoor use, outdoor use, specialized uses, and metering. The section is based on an "efficiency first" approach to water conservation."

"The Energy and Atmosphere (EA) category approaches energy from a holistic perspective, addressing energy use reduction, energy-efficient design strategies, and renewable energy sources."

"The Materials and Resources (MR) credit category focuses on minimizing the embodied energy and other impacts associated with the extraction, processing, transport, maintenance, and disposal of building materials."

"The MR requirements are designed to support a life-cycle approach that improves performance and promotes resource efficiency."

"The Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ) category rewards decisions made by project teams about indoor air quality and thermal, visual, and acoustic comfort."

"The purpose of the Innovation (IN) LEED category is to recognize projects for innovative building features and sustainable building practices and strategies."

"The Regional Priority (RP) credits encourage project teams to focus on their local environmental priorities. USGBC established a process that identified six RP credits for every location and every rating system within chapter or country boundaries."

p 89 "The weightings ensure that LEED assigns higher point values to the credits with the strongest relationship to the impact categories of greatest concern."

LEED v4 Impact Category and Point Allocation Process Overview 16 page pdf download p 4 "Impact Categories were developed and approved by the LEED Steering Committee for incorporation into LEED v4. These Impact Categories answer the question: "What should a LEED project accomplish?"  · Reverse Contribution to Global Climate Change  · Enhance Individual Human Health and Well-Being  · Protect and Restore Water Resources  · Protect, Enhance and Restore Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services  · Promote Sustainable and Regenerative Material Resources Cycles  · Build a Greener Economy  · Enhance Social Equity, Environmental Justice, and Community Quality    of Life"
