New Report: Green Building is Growing Despite Down Market

Green Building is Growing Despite Down Market, According to Report from McGraw-Hill Construction

Report compares initial 2006 study to 2008 findings for residential housing market

 

New York – October 7, 2008 – McGraw-Hill Construction, a part of The McGraw-Hill Companies (NYSE: MHP), in partnership with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) National Green Building Program, today released the full update[1] to its 2006 study with 2008 green home building data. The new SmartMarket^® Report, The Green Home Builder: Navigating for Success in a Down Economy, covers market opportunities, key triggers and obstacles, and trends in green home building practices from 2001 to 2007, such as the impact of the down market on this sector. Major findings include:

• Forty percent of builders find “building green” makes it easier to market in a down economy; 16% find it makes it much easier.

• In 2009, 21% of builders expect to be building 90% of projects green.

• Sixty percent of builders claim homebuyers are willing to pay more for green homes. This is greater than the opinion in 2006 (56%).

• “Quality” is the top driver behind green home building, which is a shift from the top driver in 2006, “doing the right thing.” This seems to indicate that green homebuyers in today’s market are not just “green consumers,” but are also buying a green home for investment and performance reasons.

• Fourteen percent of builders find today’s homes overall more than 30% more environmentally friendly than two years ago. 85% think that energy-efficient features are the ones making these homes more environmentally friendly.

• Builders use products that lead to energy efficiency far more than other elements. In particular, they focus on air sealing/tight construction, increased insulation, water-efficient plumbing fixtures, and Energy Star products.

• The region in the U.S. with the best growth in green building is the Pacific, followed by the South Atlantic and Mountain regions. The East South Central region has the lowest growth.

“Green building has definitely reached its upper tipping point,” said Harvey M. Bernstein, McGraw-Hill Construction vice president of Industry Analytics, Alliances and Strategic Initiatives. “Builders can no longer ignore the benefits and market advantages of green building. Especially considering today’s market and current economic situation, builders need to differentiate themselves from their competitors and hold steady or prosper in the down economy. Green building gives builders that opportunity to expand their market share and ride out this economic slump.”

 

“Education, training, advocacy and other services that NAHB offers its members help ensure that home builders and remodelers are prepared to go green,” said Bob Jones, NAHB vice chairman/treasurer and a Michigan home builder. “This survey clearly indicates that the market is moving toward more sustainable home building practices, and our members are ready.”

 

The report also features special sections detailing government regulations, NAHB Green Home Rating Systems, and case studies on different types of green homes (e.g., customized, affordable, and large productions). Commentary on green-washing, product availability, brand awareness, and certification provides further background data and analysis of the market.

World's largest solar-powered winery

 

PACIFIC POWER MANAGEMENT ANNOUNCES WORLD’S LARGEST

SOLAR INSTALLATION AT A WINERY

 

Solar System using Mitsubishi Solar Panels to be installed at Gonzales Winery in Monterey County to be the largest in the County

           

Gonzales, Calif. (October 8, 2008)  – Pacific Power Management, LLC announced today that it has begun the installation of the largest solar system at a winery in the world at Constellation Wines U.S. (CWUS) Gonzales Winery, located in Monterey County, Calif.  The 1.2 megawatt solar system will cover approximately 170,000 square feet of the main winery warehouse roof and will produce more than 1,700,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year, providing approximately 50 percent of the winery’s total energy requirements.   This project is being financed and built by Pacific Power Management and is expected to be completed by the end of the year. 

 

Managing Partner of Pacific Power Management, Mark Frederick, commenting on the CWUS installation, said: “Constellation Wines has again shown their industry leadership by going solar.  They have a system that now sets the green standard in the wine industry and gives them a competitive advantage that will only grow as electricity prices increase.”

 

The environmental benefits from this project include a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and an annually reduced carbon footprint equal to planting 2,500 acres of trees, not driving an average automobile 25 million miles, or taking about 2,083 cars off the road.  

 

Clean renewable energy such as solar power helps to protect the environment, lowers energy and consumer product prices, and reduces strain on the electric utility system grid by generating electricity when demand is high during the summer.  California, in particular, benefits from solar power due to its high number of annual sunlight hours.   

 

Exporting Electricity from the Winery to California Homes

 

"During the summer months, when the winery is not processing grapes, the system will export enough electricity onto PG&E's power lines to supply all of the electrical needs for about 25 percent of the roughly 1,695 households in Gonzales.", said Kelly McMahon, Director of Sales for Pacific Power Management.

           

 “We are proud and excited about this solar project,” said José Fernandez, CEO, Constellation Wines North America.  “We are committed to investing in technologies that will allow us to produce our wines in the most sustainable way possible, from our vineyards through the entire winemaking process.  This installation is one of the most significant environmental projects undertaken to date by the wine industry, and will have a positive impact on the environment, as well as being cost effective.”

 

 

Solar Project Details:

 

§         The system will provide approximately 60 percent of the winery’s average energy needs,

§         When more energy is produced than required on-site, excess will be sent 'back to the grid',

§         The system will be capable of generating 1,176,230 watts of D.C. power and delivering 1,000,040 watts of A.C. power to the grid,

§         The installation will include a total of 6,358 Mitsubishi 185 watt solar panels

§         Pacific Power Management, based in Auburn, Calif., is financing and building the system.

 

§         The annual offsets (pollution avoided) are as follows:

o       Carbon Dioxide CO2 - 1.6 million pounds annually

o       Sulfur Dioxide -  1,636 pounds annually

o       Nitrogen Oxides – 2,909  pounds annually

Net-Zero Energy Buildings

Architectural Record’s Popular Innovation 2008 Conference Explores Progress in Race for High-Tech and Cost-Effective Zero-Energy Buildings

 

New York – October 10, 2008 – Architectural Record welcomed a record number of 380 architects, engineers, scientists and students to Innovation 2008: The Net-Zero Energy Buildings Conference at the McGraw-Hill Headquarters in New York this week on October 7-8. Attendees filled every seat and spilled into the aisles, anxious to learn about the latest technologies and best practices in super-energy efficient building from industry experts.

 

Innovations such as MIT Professor Daniel Nocera’s photosynthesis approach—using Cobalt, Co(III), as a catalyst and enabler for efficient energy storage in homes—will create homes that can be both power generators and gas stations. The latest high-performance glass and photovoltaic coverings were also presented, and there was a strong call to action for change in the way buildings are designed and used in light of global warming, greenhouse gases and the imposing carbon footprint created by buildings around the world.

 

“There’s a tremendous amount of energy wasted because we’re not exactly sure how we work,” said Charles Linn, deputy editor at Architectural Record, citing the example that his building among many others leave the lights on in empty or sparsely used workspaces.

 

Dr. Andrew Laing, managing director for DEGW North America challenged attending architects and developers with “creating the right workplace that will attract the kind of people who will want to work there in a new way.” Laing’s proposed “new way” of working and thinking about workspaces involves reinventing the office to take advantage of mobile, shared and flexible workplace options, which can reduce space needs by 20-30% and significantly affect a building’s carbon footprint. “On average, we let our assets be used only 30% of the workday,” he added.

 

“It’s not just about the tools that we use, it’s how we use them, and we need to change the process,” said Denzil Gallagher, partner and MEP regional discipline leader at Buro Happhold North America. “We have tools, we have codes, we have standards, but someone has to set the goals early in the process.”

New York Hotel Trades Council Goes Green

New York Hotel Trades Council Goes Green

 

 

New York, NY, September 29 – The New York Hotel & Motel Trades Council (NYHTC) in New York City has enrolled in Energy Curtailment Specialists' (ECS) PowerPay! New York demand response program as an effort to become energy efficient. The NYHTC will receive payments in return for agreeing to reduce its load when the electric grid is overloaded and in trouble. PowerPay! New York is an energy conservation program that helps prevent blackouts and rolling brownouts, along with eliminating the need to build new power plants.

 

The building, which is home to the NYHTC as well as to the Hotel, Restaurant & Club Employees and Bartenders Union Local 6, and to the NYHTC and Hotel Association of New York Benefit Funds, will develop its own customized plan that will maximize demand reduction while minimizing any impact on its employees and visitors. Some curtailment efforts for the building include turning down public area and office lights, reducing cooling in unused areas, and shutting down some elevators. 

 

"We are glad to be a part of PowerPay! New York and look forward to making our building more energy efficient," said John Ruben, chief officer of operations for the Hotel Trades Council. "Since it's a no-risk program, I wanted to see what kind of impact cutting back on our electricity usage for an hour will have and what kind of savings we can expect if we implement an hourly cutback each day."

 

Members of PowerPay! New York are usually large energy users who receive notice the day prior to an event, allowing them time to devise a plan and prepare for the curtailment effort. 

 

"We are pleased to welcome the Hotel Trades Council to our program," said Stephen Lynch, principal and co-founder of ECS. "As energy efficiency becomes a staple in our society, its involvement in demand response is a huge step in educating the hotel and hospitality industry on the importance and simplicity of going green."

New Ecological Footprint Calculator from Earth Day Network

 

EARTH DAY NETWORK LAUNCHES NEW, IMPROVED ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT CALCULATOR TO ASSESS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

 

Washington, DC – Earth Day Network, an international environmental advocacy organization and a recognized leader in the field of carbon footprint measurement, has just released its newest tool to combat climate change: The Ecological Footprint Calculator. Set to debut on August 25, 2008, the Footprint Calculator is intended to raise environmental consciousness in an educational, user-friendly, and fun way.  

 

Created by the originators of the ecological footprint, Global Footprint Network, the calculator provides users with a three-dimensional avatar of their choosing, and situates them on a block in a virtual neighborhood. The user is then taken through a series of questions about her food consumption, energy use, favorite mode of transportation, type of residence, recycling commitment, and spending habits. Using a scroll bar, users can approximate their usage with pithy sayings like, “I’m a farmer’s market friend but I really like potato chips,” indicating, in this case, that she eats local foods often-- but not always.

 

“It’s fun to use and really conveys a powerful message,” said Kathleen Rogers, President of Earth Day Network. “Anyone who logs on to our site can determine what a big impact their unique combination of personal habits has on their environment, and what they can do about it.”

 

Results are shown first in relative terms; after the Footprint Calculator analyzes a user’s living habits, it tells her how many “planets” would be necessary to sustain human life- if everyone lived just like her. The users are also shown how many acres of land and tons of carbon necessary to sustain their lifestyle. They are then given the option of revisiting the quiz to see where they “went wrong”, and given suggestions on how to reduce their carbon footprint.

 

“I like that it not only suggests ways to change your habits, but also shows the measurable impact small changes on a personal level can create,” adds Rogers.

 

Earth Day Network’s Ecological Footprint Calculator has been used by tens of millions around the world to evaluate their environmental impact and make lifestyle changes to reduce it. A powerful educational tool aimed to generate critical thinking and inspire younger generations to choose a sustainable lifestyle.

 

To take the quiz, visit www.earthday.net/ecofootprint. The new Footprint Calculator has launched with measures for the United States and Australia only, but new batch of countries will be available by the end of the year.

Festival returns with must-attend workshops

Canada's largest annual green building event is gearing up for another year with an expanded seminar program.

Festival organizers are very excited to introduce two innovative workshops offering a practical look at the green building trend sweeping the real estate and residential construction markets.  Festival Manager Jeff Ranson anticipates high attendance at both sessions. 

"Eco-friendly housing is in huge demand.  Home builders and Real-Estate Professional need tools to address the demand for environmentally responsible options, and that's what we aim to provide.  We want to make green know-how accessible to everyone - our seminars help us do that," says Ranson.

The Green Home Building workshop runs from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm on September 10th.  This session, delivered by Paul Duffy and John Godden of the Canadian Residential Energy Services Network, will give home-builders an understanding of energy efficiency, environmental standards and green labels, and how to implement green building technologies. 

The Green Real-Estate Workshop is scheduled from 1:00 to 4:30 pm on September 10th.  Geared toward real estate professionals, and presented by Green Realtor Chris Chopik, the session will focus on: how climate change is affecting the real estate market, what labeling programs mean for home-owners, and incentive programs that are available to green home buyers.

"It's important for both home-builders and realtors to understand green building," Ranson adds.  "Our seminars will provide delegates with the tools they need to build greener homes and realize the value of building green."  

The Green Building Festival is scheduled for September 9 - 10 2008 at the Toronto Convention Centre on Dixon Road.   The show will feature high-quality, in-depth programming for building professionals with case studies, product analyses and 100 exhibitors offering ready-to-market green building solutions.

SOYBEAN URINALS GENERATE CONSIDERABLE INTEREST

SOYBEAN URINALS GENERATE
CONSIDERABLE INTEREST

More Manufactures to Emphasize Sustainability

Vista, CA -August 11, 2008-Waterless Co. LLC reports a surge in both sales
orders and requests for sales information after the company introduced a new
line of soybean urinals approximately four weeks ago.

According to Niki Bradley, marketing manager for Waterless Co. LLC, the
company did expect some excitement with the introduction, "but nothing like
what has happened in the past few weeks."

She attributes much of the interest to the fact that more and more
manufacturers-even the manufacturers of urinals-are looking for more
sustainable ways to produce products.

Waterless Co. is one of the largest manufacturers of no-water urinal systems
in the United States. As the name implies, the company's urinals require no
water and can save more than 40,000 gallons of water per urinal each year.

The soybean urinals are made from approximately 30 percent soybean resin,
which is a naturally sustainable resource.
Bradley adds that the soybean content in the urinals is expected to increase
in the near future.

There is no difference in appearance, function, or maintenance with the
soybean systems compared to other waterless urinals. The difference is
purely in the type of material used to manufacture the product. A label
placed on the urinal is the indication it is a soybean system.

"Our announcement just seemed to happen right as everyone is getting more
and more concerned about the bigger environmental picture of
sustainability," says Bradley.
"Over the next few years, we will probably see many products we use every
day reengineered with more sustainable components. These soybean urinals are
just a bit ahead of their time."

About Waterless
Waterless Co. LLC has established a reputation as an innovative
manufacturer, serving the building, plumbing, and janitorial industry for
over 15 years. Based in Vista, Ca, Waterless Co. offers quality, innovation

FW: Gov. Schwarzenegger Issues Statement on Nation-Leading Green Building Code

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today issued the following statement on the California Building Standards Commission vote to adopt the nation’s first statewide green building code:

 

“By adopting this first-in-the-nation statewide green building code, California is again leading the way to fight climate change and protect the environment.  This is literally a groundbreaking move to ensure that when we break ground on all new buildings in the Golden State we are promoting green building and energy efficient new technologies. Cars and buildings are two of the leading users of energy – we’re already addressing cars, and these new building standards will ensure that California remains at the forefront of reducing our carbon footprint and conserving valuable natural resources while also protecting our economy. We have already committed to making our state-owned buildings more green and energy efficient and this statewide code will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency and conserve water in all new buildings.

 

“With today’s action, California continues to lead the nation and I commend the hard work of the Building Standards Commission to adopt the first-in-the-nation statewide green building standards.”

Watkins Glen Int'l goes Green with Wind Power!

 

Juice Energy helps Watkins Glen International race towards

greener, lower-priced electricity through new partnership

 

Watkins Glen International, one of the nation’s most historic racetracks, will soon be leading the way towards reducing their carbon footprint with the help of Juice Energy. The 60 year old raceway, known worldwide as “The Glen,” has signed a new contract with Juice in an effort to lower their ever-rising electricity costs, and limit the track’s impact on the environment.

 

Juice Energy, Inc. is a New York-based electricity supplier that utilizes unique methodologies to deliver electricity to their clients at the lowest possible rates. By constantly monitoring the energy markets, Juice creates custom solutions that bring the advantages of electricity competition to clients.

At the same time, Juice offers clients access to renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, making them a popular choice for businesses looking to curb their environmental impact.

 

The new deal will cover all of The Glen’s electricity needs for the next three years. In addition, the track will become one of the first motor sports facilities in North America to adopt a greener electricity strategy with the purchase of wind power equal to 100% of their annual electric use. The green power purchase effectively offsets the track’s electricity related greenhouse gas emissions.

 

Craig Rust, President of Watkins Glen International, said the decision to go with Juice was an easy one: “It’s not everyday that we find a new business partner that brings as much to the table as Juice. We’re going to enjoy savings on electricity and take a major step forward in our plan to become a greener track.”

 

For Juice, it’s been a very busy year as they sign one new client after another. “Millions of people have enjoyed races at The Glen over the past 60 years. We’re really excited about our new involvement with this particular partner,” said Brian Hayduk, co-founder of Juice. “Our main priority is customer service, so we’ll probably have to stop by on race days to see how our strategies are working.”
