This landmark report developed by AirAdvice Inc. based on the analysis of 49,130 indoor air quality tests conducted in homes across North America, shows that people in 9 out of 10 American homes are breathing unhealthy indoor air. Overall, 96.7% of all homes tested had at least one of six indoor air quality (IAQ) problems analyzed in the AirAdvice study -- particle allergens, chemical pollutants, carbon dioxide, temperature, humidity, and carbon monoxide.
To download your copy of the report, go to: I have attached a overview 1-page condensed version to this .
The data in the AirAdvice State of Our Indoor Air Report 2007 was gathered in cooperation with a network of over 1500 HVAC-IAQ professionals who placed the AirAdvice IAQ monitoring systems in homes across North America. The findings are based on 49,130 individual IAQ tests conducted during a 34-month period (3/1/2004 – 12/31/2006).  Each of these 49,130 tests represents, on average, 4,320 unique air samples (based on the typical test scenario of one air sample collected per minute during a three-day period).  With each unique air sample per minute analyzed for six individual environmental issues, collectively these findings comprise nearly 1.3 billion IAQ data points which is the largest Indoor Air Quality database in the world.

1’ rise = 100’ in coastal flooding
Green Building : Why?

7. Sea-level rise projections : a few inches to a few feet
2 ft: U.S. would lose 10,000 square miles
Affects erosion, loss of wetlands, freshwater supplies
Half of the world’s population lives along coasts
Big question: Ice sheets
The oceans will continue their rise in the coming century. The IPCC’s best estimates range from a few inches to a few feet by If the rise is 2 feet, the US could lose 10,000 square miles, If they rise three, they will inundate Miami and most of coastal Florida. Sea-level rise also increases coastal erosion and the loss of coastal wetlands, and saltwater spoils freshwater drinking supplies. Coastal populations become even more vulnerable to storm surge and flooding. Considering that half of the world’s population lives near coasts, sea-level rise is a serious concern.
The big unknown in all this is how much the planet’s ice sheets will melt. 7

9. HUMAN HEALTH ABOUT LIVING INDOOR
Do we know that –
Most of us spend about 90% of our time in indoors
Many building product contain Chemicals commonly known as Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) that emit harmful vapours over time
In a short time these vapours effect health – running nose, tears from the eyes and throat irritation are typical symptoms.
Over time, indoor chemical vapours from building materials may seriously impact reproductive health, increase the risk of cancer and contribute to respiratory illness like asthma
Children and elders are more vulnerable to building material toxicity and indoor air pollution

12. Overview
Think Green
How can an environmentally conscious business use their community and social concern to create a competitive advantage for themselves while encouraging others to do their part in saving the planet for future generations?

13. Objectives Enhance your image in the community
Improve your reputation with current customers
Attract new customers
Reduce operational cost
Better employee relations
Increased free publicity for green products
Differentiating your business from your competitors
Demonstrate to the world you are an environmentally aware company

14. What is sustainability
A strategy by which communities seek economic development approaches that also benefit the local environment and quality of life..

15. Is a process of achieving human development
Contributed through effective management of social ,economic and environment benefits

16. Global Drivers of Sustainability
Increasing Industrialization
Proliferation & Interconnection of Civil Stakeholders
Emerging Technology
Effects of Globalization- poverty, inequity, population explosion

17. Triple Bottom Line
TBL“ or "3BL",

18. What is TBL
An expanded spectrum of values and criteria for measuring organizational and societal success – economic, environmental, social.
In the private sector, a commitment to CSR implies a commitment to some form of TBL reporting.

19. The Triple Bottom Line is made up of "Social, Economic and Environmental"
"People, Planet, Profit "

22. Triple Bottom Line Accounting
Expanding the traditional reporting framework
Take into account environmental and social performance in addition to financial performance.
Company's responsibility to 'stakeholders' rather than shareholders.

23. GLOBAL REPORTING INITIATIVE GRI
􀂉 The Global Reporting Initiative attempts to make the
Triple Bottom Line operational
􀂉 VISION
The Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) vision is that
reporting on economic, environmental, and social
performance by all organizations becomes as routine
and comparable as financial reporting. GRI
accomplishes this vision by developing, continually
improving, and building capacity around the use of
its Sustainability Reporting Framework.

24. Categorizing Sustainability Indicators
Categories are based on:
TBL
Relationship between the daily practices and sustainability
Strength of this relationship
Ex: In the UN CSD, “proportion of urban population living in slums” addresses this relationship directly through poverty, whereas this relationship is also addressed indirectly through health, governance or land.
Characteristics of the building industry

Green Building: How?

31. Background
The drive to “go green” is undoubtedly welcome as the problems of water shortage, energy crisis and climate change are seemingly here to stay.
Also the green concept has to be developed for local context so that they can be still be applied within the local and financial needs.

32. Green Building
Green buildings have less negative impact on the environment than standard buildings.
Their construction minimizes on-site grading, saves natural resources by using alternative building materials, and recycling construction waste rather than sending truck after truck to landfills.

36. End-user impact assessment Lifecycle assessment Lifestyle assessment
Assessing Ssustainability
Types of Assessment
Three common methods of assessment :
End-user impact assessment
Lifecycle assessment
Lifestyle assessment

37. End-user impact
Calculation of negative externalities created by the direct actions of the end users
Externalities (carbon footprint, hazardous gas emissions, waste production, etc.) are calculated by looking at the consumption processes of goods and services.

38. Lifecycle Introduced during the UN Earth Summit in Rio in 1992
Production, transportation and consumption process of products and services
Ex: Evaluating buildings’ CO2 emission requires calculation of CO2 emission that has been created throughout the excavation, production and transportation of the building materials, as well as the CO2 produced by direct use of energy in the building.

39. Future lifestyle:
Preserving today’s consumption oriented, individualistic vision
Curbing the externalities of people’s unlimited desires by technological advances
