Background This same Design Process also Produces Unwanted Outcomes
• Expanded CO2 Footprint • Climate Change Potential • Health Effects Potential • Natural Resource Depletion • Ozone Depletion Potential • Eutrophication Potential • Acidification Potential • Chemical Smog Potential • Potential Habitat Destruction
Background This same Design Process also Produces Unwanted Outcomes Building Assessment Life Cycle Based: Wanted and Unwanted Outcomes Considered
• Scorecard Methods (LEED, BREEAM, GBC, Green Globes)
• Whole Building Energy (eQuest, DOE2, BLAST, EnergyPlus)
• Model Codes and Standards (IECC, 90.1, IgCC, ASHRAE189)
• Whole Building LCA Methods (Athena Impact Estimator)
Background This same Design Process also Produces Unwanted Outcomes Facade Assessment Performance Based: Mostly Wanted Outcomes Considered
• Energy Performance Analysis (NFRC, CMA)
• Air, Water, Structural (AAMA)
• Security / Hazard / Safety (AAMA, TAS, FPA, ASTM)
• Acoustical Performance (ASTM – STC and OITC)
The Emergence of Life Cycle Product Assessment
Sustainable Design Considerations Like Whole Building Analysis, Products must consider Life Cycle Cradle to Grave Approach
• Material Extraction • Manufacturing • Use • Disposal
In order to understand all of a building’s impacts, the products that go into the building must be assessed from a life cycle perspective
Sustainable Design Considerations Product Considerations that can Expose Unwanted Outcomes Has the Product Demonstrated Proven Environmental Advantage?
Eco-Labels through a third party certification process
YKK AP ThermaShade – Recipient of Cradle to Cradle Certification
• Cradle to Cradle • Green Guard • Energy Star • Green Seal • Forest Stewardship Council
Sustainable Design Considerations Product Considerations that can Expose Unwanted Outcomes Has a Full Life Cycle Assessment been made on the Product?
Product Selections are moving toward factoring Product Life Cycle Assessments
LCA’s through a third party certification process
• Environmental Product Declarations (EPD’s)
• BEES (NIST) • Transparency Reports • Independent LCA Certification
AAMA Conference Discusses Product Category Rules and EPD’s. June 11, 2013
Sustainable Design Considerations Product Considerations that can Expose Unwanted Outcomes
ISO 14001 Certification
How is the Product Manufactured?
ECM Environmentally-Conscious Manufacturing
• ISO 14001 Certification • Pollution Prevention (EPA) • The Natural StepTM
YKK AP America, Manufacturing Facility in Dublin, GA. ISO 14001 Certified
