Problem—Conclusions Buildings in operation are major contributors to carbon emissions Relying on predictions of energy performance and code is not enough for new buildings Improving the existing building stock is an imperative to meeting 2030 Challenge

GBI Suggestions for Cities 1.Set goals for existing building stock 2.Emphasize benchmarking using actual building performance data---such as the EPA’s Target of 75 or greater 3.Take Green Globes for Continual Improvement for a test drive… Join the U.S. Pilot of Green Globes for Continual Improvement of Existing Buildings.

Our Approach CommercialResidential

Green Globes System: A Building Life Cycle Approach Web-based questionnaire’s prompt next steps throughout the nine stages of planning Project Initiation Site Analysis Programming Schematic Design Design Development Constructions Documents Contracting and Construction Commissioning Measured Performance: Continual Improvement of Existing Buildings The Project Loop Verified Rating: Must have third-party verification to be a Green Globes building. This can occur after construction for new buildings or after 1-2 years of operations for existing structures. System generates early assessments to guide improvements in design and operations
