Sustainability requirements often come from the top. Driven by either the client or regulatory demands, but implemented by the subcontractors. If you're not doing the work yourself, you're likely relying on the subs and managing that process. This Digging Deeper podcast episode features an interview with Tommy Linstroth of Green Badger discussing how contractors can prioritize sustainability efforts while working with subcontractors.

The green construction industry is rapidly changing. As Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) reporting becomes more common in construction, we wanted to know more. How is it different than LEED? What's the contractor's role? Tommy Linstroth, CEO and Founder of Green Badger explains.

What does it really mean to “go green?” It's more complex than you might think. Join host Todd and guest Tommy Linstroth as they discuss the ups and downs of creating a successful startup, the greatest issues we face in construction when it comes to adopting sustainability, how the widespread reaction to sustainable practices has changed over time, the concept of “automating” green processes, and more. Tommy Linstroth is the CEO of Green Badger, LLC. He has a 20-year career in managing sustainable construction and launched his company, Green Badger, to help professionals (from owners to sub-contractors) to lighten the load while pursuing LEED certification. Today, Green Badger's mission is to make sustainability accessible, attainable, and effortless for the entire construction industry. Tommy regularly speaks at industry and sustainability trade events, contributes content for Forbes, Environmental Leader, and Construction Executive, among many others.

Why should every building be green? Buildings, both commercial and residential, account for about 40% of annual CO2 emissions. It's an enormously wasteful industry ripe for innovation. But how do we bring about the new era of eco buildings? My guest today is Tommy Linstroth, the CEO of Green Badger, an SaaS platform for automating sustainability. They make it much much easier for construction professionals to build sustainably. It's a clever approach to an important sector we don't often think about, oh, and these buildings can dramatically lower your monthly energy costs as well.  ➡️ https://getgreenbadger.com/ ➡️ Highlights: https://rosspalmer.com/tommy-linstroth

The built environment represents one of society's largest environmental impacts - contributing nearly one fifth of global GHG emissions, not to mention impacts on natural resources like air and water quality, local ecosystems, and quality of life for residents. Increasingly, policies and public opinion are concentrating on reducing those impacts - creating incentives for new construction and urban development to become more sustainable - to become more “green.”But how do you define whether a building (or a city) is green? Tommy Linstroth is the founder and CEO of Green Badger, a company that provides sustainability accounting services for new construction projects, and Hilari Varnadore is the Vice President for Cities at the U.S. Green Building Council. The two joined Climate Now to explain the globally leading metric for quantifying sustainability of the built environment:  Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. Tune in to hear how buildings, stadiums and cities can become LEED certified - what the process entails, what the criteria are, and why every new construction project and city planner should want to be certified as “green” through a process like LEED.Follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.Contact us at contact@climatenow.comVisit our website for all of our content and sources for each episode.

Tommy joins us to discuss the slow changing world of construction and how new technology is breaking into the industry.

How can we reduce the environmental impact from constructing and operating buildings? In 2021, construction and building operations account for 37% of global CO2 emissions, hit an all time high of 10 gigaton of CO2 emissions, about two percent higher than pre-pandemic levels. We talk with Tommy Listroth, founder and CEO of Green Badger, a software-as-a-service company that provides management tools for sustainable building projects and to support LEED certification efforts, about the steps to reduce the impact of where we live and work. Green Badger connects architects, construction teams, building owners, sustainability and waste professionals to track and optimize their work. Tommy has led more than 150 LEED construction team projects and is also founder of Sustainativity, a nonprofit that helps nonprofits complete sustainable building projects. Although new technologies for designing efficient buildings made of concrete, steel, and other building materials are in the pipeline, the benefits certainly are not yet showing up in environmental impact data. Tommy explains how construction companies and building owners can reduce emissions and waste, while improving the efficiency and lowering the cost, of homes, apartments, and offices. We explore how the Inflation Reducation Act created new incentives, particularly for apartment buildings, to use high-efficiency heating and cooling, improved insulation, and low-impact materials. And Tommy shares practicals tips about assessing the environmental performance of a home, apartment or office before you make a decision during your next move.

Tommy Linstroth is the founder and CEO of Green Badger, a SaaS company providing easy-to-use, collaborative cloud-based solutions to streamline and automate sustainability in the green building construction market. Tommy is a leader and pioneer in the ESG space, and in this week's episode, he and Tom Fox explore ESG in the green construction market. Green Construction Within ESG Tom asks Tommy how green construction fits into an overall ESG conversation. Tommy acknowledges that ESG is becoming more popular at the organizational, corporate and portfolio levels. Green building is part and parcel of the general ESG framework; companies are increasingly considering sustainability in the process of construction instead of only when the building is complete. Tom comments that this idea could expand from just a building to a community or gated subdivision. Tommy agrees and explains that if a developer is looking at multi-family developments, they should look at the collective impact that those have on not just the environment but the social and governmental aspects, as well.  The Origins of Green Badger Green Badger was founded to solve the challenges Tommy faced managing green construction as a consultant. He would have to manage and track data from multiple projects, in different phases of construction. This was time-consuming, and he figured there had to be a way to automate the process to make it easier. With the extra time, they could make building projects greener, and finish them on time and within budget. Thus, the idea for Green Badger was born.  Green Certification Tom asks Tommy to explain what is green certification. For buildings, there's the primary or gold standard called LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, which is a third-party certification that is administered by the United States Green Building Control. It is used to verify the sustainability aspects of a building. About 95% of companies require it on their facilities moving forward and is used on almost everything that is publicly funded.  ESG Metrics Tom asks Tommy about common ESG metrics in the construction phase. Tommy says that the most common metric is energy consumption; for example, fuel used on-site for equipment. You have to take into account all the direct and indirect emissions being produced, such as the carbon emissions produced while traveling to and from the job site. Measuring construction waste and water consumption is also a standard ESG metric. These metrics tend to focus more on the environmental and social aspects of ESG, rather than the governance side, he points out.  Looking Ahead Tommy believes that there will be increased ESG requirements in new residential or commercial construction in 2025. He compares it to a running faucet: “Right now how we see the faucets on, and it's just a trickle. Those financial owner-driven regulations – they're slowly lifting that lever where the drop is going to turn into a trickle, and then it's going to turn into a blast.” In the 80s and 90s safety regulations were not that prevalent, but these days they are ingrained into the culture of every work site. “ESG will become baked in as a standard operating procedure”.  Resources Tommy Linstroth | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram   Green Badger | Website | LinkedIn | Twitter

" – Tommy Linstroth   Highlights of LEED Tommy started with Melaver on new construction where everything would be green.  He was working on the first LEED Cornshell Shopping Center and as part of that they did LEED McDonald's and then they moved into affordable housing. Tommy started TriDents and consulted up and down the coast which led him to Green Badger due to the administrative hassle to try and eliminate the headache and barrier of further adoption of green adoption. "Before the wave of LEED affordable housing came out and it really redefined how they recognize green affordable housing in the state of Georgia which was great because we were the first ones to get certified in the state ." – Tommy Linstroth   A Few Current Projects Tommy is currently working with 8 of the top 10 green contractors using Green Badger on projects.  He is focusing on how they can continue to improve the functionality. Tommy is also looking at other ways they can address some of the other rating systems.
