  1. The Green Team ApproachEPA-Supported Partnership Programsfor Green Construction and Operation2008 Environmental Performance SummitAndrew Bellina, PE Region 2

  2. Green Team Concept • Utilizing Success of Destiny USA - MOU provides documentation that going green is practical and that the technology is currently available • Utilize the MOU concept – Apply to other large construction projects and existing buildings • Business Model Approach – Market to Targeted Customers tailored to their needs and interests • Provide One-Stop Customer Service – Include information on all EPA and non-EPA Green programs including State Efforts

  3. Green Team Conceptcontinued • Establish a Sales Force - Representatives must have a working knowledge of the various Partnership Programs • Sales Force Mantra - Enlist motivated volunteers who are willing to meet with prospective clients and have a personal interest in selling green construction and operation • Sales Presentation Approach tailored to Client – Ensure that topics are tailored to the type of building and the current construction/operation status • Strategically Focus on Wholesale Approach – When Possible, Initiate contact first with corporate trade organizations, councils and groups then follow up with interested parties • Region 2 Green Construction and Operation Team - Our team follows a simple rule laid down by the wise old fight trainer Mickey in Rocky II, who said “THERE AINT NO CANT”

  4. Presentation Topics Programs have been arranged as follows: Design Construction Operation/Maintenance Benefits: Environmental Economic Corporate stewardship LEED Standards: - Highlight programs and efforts that can support USGBC LEED-NC certification

  8. Stormwater ManagementGreen Roofs U.S. EPA Denver Office IKEA Stoughton StoreStoughton, MA, Green Roof on Atlanta’s City Hall

  9. Design/Construction:Coal Combustion Product Applications CCPs include: Fly ash, Bottom ash, Boiler slag and Flue gas desulfurization slag CCPs may be used in almost all construction applications Provides better performance (pozylonic properties) than portland cement Widely available Costs savings average 30-45% Significant energy and resource savings as well as greenhouse gas reductions CCP use qualifies for LEED Materials Reuse credit (5% = 1, 10% = 2)

  10. Cross-Section of a Commercial Building

  11. FoundationPoured Concrete • Fly ash & BF slag as partial portland cement replacements • Portland cement: fly ash, FGD material, foundry sand, gypsum wallboard, blast furnace and steel slag • Concrete aggregates can include bottom ash, foundry sand, crushed concrete, and blast furnace slag ASTM standards for cement and concrete containing industrial materials. Visit: www.astm.org

  12. Foundation Structural Fill • An engineered fill constructed in layers, compacted to a desired density • Fly ash, bottom ash, boiler slag, and foundry sands • Concrete can be crushed and used onsite ASTM E2277-03 Standard Guide for Design and Construction of Coal Ash Structural Fills

  13. Construction: Mobile Source Emission Reductions Non-road diesel engines emit large amounts of NOx and PM, both of which contribute to various and numerous negative health impacts.

  14. Construction: Cleaner Fuel Ultra-low sulfur diesel Biodiesel Off-road standard in 2010 99% sulfur removed 15 cents more per gallon 5 - 9% particulate reduction Widely available Renewable energy source Low emissions Fuel:Bio company has plant in Elizabeth, NJ, with a 60 million gal/yr biodiesel capacity from soybean oil

  15. Diesel Retrofit • Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) • Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) BEFORE . . . and . . . AFTER

  16. Operation/Maintenance: Environmental Management System(EMS) An EMS is: A written document that outlines people, policies, plans, procedures and review mechanism to achieve environmental objective Vital tool used to achieve ISO14001 Standards

  17. Water Efficient Fixtures Water-efficient toilets and faucets now carry EPA’s WaterSense logo. Reductions can total 11,000 or more gallons per toilet per year. Waterless or low-flow urinals and efficient landscape irrigation systems save even more.

  18. Stormwater Capture & Reuse Destiny Mall (Syracuse, NY) is installing a ~90,000 gal. underground tank to capture stormwater, which will be filtered and reused to flush toilets. Use of water from local sources, and discharge to the local sewage system, will be decreased 50%.

  19. Two Ways to Participate in Energy Star Become a Partner - send commitment letter - measure & track energy performance using Energy Star tools where possible - develop & implement and energy management plan - energy efficiency outreach to staff & community - support 10% improvement challenge - highlight achievements with Energy Star recognition Use Energy Star Benchmarking tools and earn the Energy Star Plaque - use portfolio manager to calculate & improve building performance - achieve a 75% rating certified by energy P.E.

  20. Climate Leaders An industry-government partnership that works with companies to develop long-term comprehensive climate change strategies. Partners set a corporate-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goal and inventory their emissions to measure progress. Climate Leaders partners represent a variety of industries and sectors, from manufacturers and energy providers to financial institutions and retailers.

  21. Green Power Partnership An EPA voluntary program designed to support and encourage organizations to purchase electricity generated from renewable resources. Partnering with EPA’s Green Power Partnership is an easy and effective way to display environmental leadership while reducing environmental impacts. EPA provides Partners with information and recognition for their purchases.

  22. Buying Green Energy • Facilities that choose to move towards “carbon neutrality” can purchase renewable electricity -- • Wind , Hydro, Solar • Modest increased cost. • Examples: • Carousel Mall (Syracuse, NY) – 19 million kwhs/year • Pepsico – 1.1 billion kwhs/yr. • U.S. EPA Region 2

  23. Generate Your Own Green Power Utilize wind and solar power on site with the latest commercially available wind vanes and turbines and enhanced solar panel systems. The cost of solar power will be significantly reduced in 2010 as the supply of crystalline silicon will be greater than the demand. Thin film solar sheets will be the way of the future. Any excess power above your building needs can be sold back to the grid.

  24. Making Green Energy 50-245 KW Solar Roofs: 1.1 MW 346 KW

  25. Making Green Energy • Destiny USA Mall, Syracuse NY: • 3.2 MW Solar Array will be built over 25-acre parking lot. • Will generate ~ 10% - 15% of electricity for 800-acre mall.

  26. Making Green Energy Wind and Bio-Gas Destiny Mall: Vertical Axis Turbine light poles yield up to 84,000 kwhs. Wisconsin Sewage Plant using Bio-gas from Digesters Atlantic City Sewage Treatment Plant Wind Farm – 2.5 MW

  27. WasteWise WasteWise: free, voluntary, EPA program through which organizations eliminate costly municipal solid waste benefiting their bottom line and the environment flexible program that allows partners to design their own waste reduction programs and goals providesfree technical assistance to meet requirements of the mandatory solid waste recycling laws in New York and New Jersey publicity and recognition to organizations that officially enroll and report results

  28. WasteWise (continued) Membership: more than 1,900 corporations, government agencies, universities, hospitals, and other organizations Results: WasteWise partners have reported more than 120 million tons of waste reduced since 1994 In 2004, WasteWise partners reduced their GHG emissions by more than 8.2 million metric tons of carbon equivalent

  29. Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) Environmentally preferable: "...products or services that have a lesser or reduced effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing products or services that serve the same purpose..." EPA released guidance document on integrating EPP into an EMS http://www.epa.gov/epp/pubs/grn-pur/green-pur-ems.htm

  30. EPEATis a tool designed to help purchasers evaluate, compare and select desktop computers, notebooks and monitors based on their environmental attributes • Environmental Performance Categories: • Environmentally Sensitive Materials • Design for End of Life • Product Longevity/Life Cycle Extension • Energy Conservation • End of Life Management • Corporate Performance • Packaging • Three performance tiers: • EPEATis a tool designed to help purchasers evaluate, compare and select desktop computers, notebooks and monitors based on their environmental attributes • Environmental Performance Categories: • Environmentally Sensitive Materials • Design for End of Life • Product Longevity/Life Cycle Extension • Energy Conservation • End of Life Management • Corporate Performance • Packaging • Three performance tiers: www.epeat.net www.epeat.net

  31. Design/Construction & Operation/Maintenance: GreenScapes Millions of tons of waste materials that are hauled away, buried, or burned each day from landscaping and grounds keeping. Millions of gallons of water, pesticides, fuels, and oils in use each and every day. Greenscapes provides tools for updated landscaping methods to reduce or eliminate the costs of these materials—both economic and environmental

  32. Reduce or eliminate plastic silt fencing... and worse • Substitute with blankets, berms, and filter-socks made of compost.

  33. Compost provides: • Superior filtration & erosion prevention/control • More easily installed & maintained • Control & reduction of non-point source pollution. • Does not require removal or disposal from site once job is complete

  34. Smartway Transportation Partnership Voluntary partnership between EPA and the freight industry Increase energy efficiency and energy security Reduce air pollution and greenhouse gases Carriers provide the majority of reductions Shippers partner with Smartway carriers

  35. Where Do We Go From Here? EPA Partnership Document is the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) EPA and Company Agree to proceed with Environmental Programs Selected by the Company Formal Signing Ceremony, Press Conference, Press Release, Awards, etc. No Penalty for Missing a Target – Missed targets are considered opportunities for improvement and removing roadblocks to future success

  36. EPA/NEW YORK METS MOU HIGHLIGHTS • MOU Signed March 13th, 2008 – NYC Bloomberg attended the signing ceremony and press conference. The historic event received local and national press coverage. • Even though Citi Field is well under construction, the Mets were able to incorporate a number of green construction and environmentally sustainability activities. • Some of the EPA/NY Mets MOU highlights include: • - The use of 95% recycled steel • - A 15,000 sq. ft. green roof over the team offices and white roof • - Stormwater Run-off Reductions, including 30,000 sq. ft. of swales, catch basins and planted areas as well as 65,000 sq. ft. of porous/permeable pavement • - Using over 2 million lbs. of CCPs in place of portland cement • - The use of Energy Conserving lighting, HVAC systems and elevators that saves over 250 mwatts/yr and becoming an Energy Star Program member • - Water Conservation techniques including hands free faucets and waterless urinals that save over 5 mgals/yr and the use of on site wells for watering needs • - Reducing Waste generation and Increasing Solid Waste Recycling as well as joining the WasteWise Program • - Using low sulfur diesel fuel for construction equipment • These activities not only save money but help save our precious natural resources, reduce energy consumption and our dependence on foreign oil as well as reduce green house gas emissions that promote global warming. • The entire MOU is only 5 ½ pages with minimal semi-annual updates.
