In this episode Serene Al-Momen with Senseware PhD, Michele Pitale, and Devesh Nirmul with CouterpointSRE speak about the emerging challenges brought about by COVID-19 and its impact on the design of the buildings, impacts on human health and air quality, and other outcomes. In this digital age, it is important for building owners, managers, and developers to be able to capture data, not for its own sake, but to be able to use that data to make informed decisions related to finish-outs and retaining tenants.

The pandemic has brought greater awareness to and appreciation of energy efficient building design. The C-PACE financing mechanism highlights an important metric: savings-to-investment ratio. Additionally, existing buildings are being repurposed and retrofitted to adapt to the "new normal" to maintain operations and keep tenants and guests safe. Kevin Wallace, AIA Wallace with DSGNworks and Sean Ribble with Green Works Lending share perspectives on how design and construction is changing and how owners can maximize funding opportunities leveraging energy and water efficiency.

With regards to existing buildings, it is not usually the lack of suitable equipment that holds back deep energy efficiency. The two-part question posed by owners is often, “How can we justify the additional expense to build or retrofit a building to meet our goals, and how do we do it in a way that generates returns on invested capital?” In this episode of 3P Theory, we are joined with Jason Gregory, co-founder and CEO of EnergyRM, a software company which exists to unlock investment in deep energy efficiency at scale within a commercial built environment. EnergyRM’s software is focused on three areas: 1) delivering insights about a building’s energy performance across all its energy sources; 2) metering via the DeltaMeter, “a transactable investment-grade energy efficiency meter”; 3) settling a financial transaction.

As environmental policies and energy codes around the US become more stringent and push the bar on energy efficiency, design firms are faced with the challenge of addressing high performance design while balancing client expectations to deliver projects under budget and on time. In some parts of the country mandatory building benchmarking & reporting laws have also created a new perspective on the importance of measuring design/operational performance. Additionally, new additions to the AIA Code of Ethics have shed some new light on the role architects have on informing clients about their buildings impact on the environment. In this episode, Scott Deatherage of Deatherage Law discusses some of his most interesting cases, the obligations architects and engineers have to deliver high performing buildings and some of the evolving market drivers that are pushing the envelope.

Air pollution is perceived as a modern-day curse: a by-product of increasing urbanization and industrialization. It does, however, have a long and evolving history with interesting transitions in line with economic, technological and political change. Every time we drive to school, use our heater or air conditioner, clean our windows, or even style our hair, we make choices that affect air pollution. It’s important to be mindful of our impact. Very small decisions times 7 million make a huge difference, even if we don’t think so.

The green building movement has both benefited and been harmed by the development of green building rating systems. The benefit is that the rating systems have introduced people to the issues of ecological design in easy to grasp pieces. The harm has occurred because people think that green design is about simply adding these pieces to a project; potentially adding cost, inefficiency, and in some cases actually more harm to the environment. Sustainable design requires a different mindset or mental model. This model enables looking at systems in a more complete way. Instead of looking at just the physical elements of the building, the invisible connections between the elements need to be understood. In this episode, Bill Reed of Regenesis discusses how integrative thinking improves the design process to deliver high performing buildings that enrich communities and create healthy environments.

Most businesses rely on abundant water to operate. Access to uninterrupted water is expected to be as reliable as electricity. While energy conservation programs have become established and have documented cost savings to support them, water costs have remained low and water conservation has not been a major initiative for many companies. Energy conservation is easier to manage at points of use, while water has been more difficult to collect data to provide insights to reduce water consumption. The better we measure water use, the better we are able to manage it and derive the most value from this finite resource. In this episode, Pete Baldwin of Hydro Tech discusses the various opportunities and strategies facility managers and owners can deploy conserve water through advanced cooling tower management and why water is becoming more important for buildings.

What is the best way for you to position your building from a valuation standpoint? Are there strategies that designers can use to collaborate better with developers & building owners to improve the market value of high performance buildings? Because these buildings are different, owners have had to change not only how they design, build, and market, but also how they approach financing and construction processes. Otherwise you may pay for green—with certifications, capital improvements, and marketing—and not fully realize the expected market benefits. Moving beyond the value that accrues to owners from rents, operational savings, and market recognition at sale, this guide will help building owners and developers understand the appraisal process and how green, high performance characteristics and data can be used by appraisers to help fully maximize valuation. Through educated realtors and appraisers in the commercial & residential markets, this can be achieved in most markets in the US. REthink39 is devoted to lowering the 39% of U.S. energy consumption attributed to the built environment and believes they can be part of a solution with every transaction closed. Craig Foley is the founder of Sustainable Real Estate Consulting Services, a LEED Green Associate and chief sustainability officer for LAER Realty Partners. Craig’s combination of real estate and energy management skills give him a unique perspective about sustainable energy solutions and subject matter expertise on greening the MLS and high-performance home valuation and marketing.

Most utilities have funds that are available for owners/developers to help offset the first cost premium of energy efficiency projects, while maximizing long-term operational savings. To encourage energy efficiency, governments, utilities and other organizations offer energy efficiency and other financial incentives to make energy efficiency more accessible for today’s homes and businesses. Often these are not capitalized and are missed opportunities; especially for those projects already designing energy efficient buildings as a base standard; leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table. JEC Energy Solutions help small municipalities, Independent School Districts (ISDs) and rural assets and other large commercial project owners capture these funds in markets that provide these financial incentives. In addition to energy conservation methods and systems, Carlos is helping to develop of solar lighting units for parks, pathways and street applications.
