SAINT PAUL SUSTAINABLE BUILDING POLICY
Sustainable Design Advances in the United States• Several states and cities have adopted green
building requirements• New York has green building tax credits and
requires renewable energy systems on state buildings
• Many federal, state and local government agencies have green building requirements for public buildings
SAINT PAUL SUSTAINABLE BUILDING POLICY
• A diverse set guidelines and rating systems are continually evolving in response to the scale of development, building type and regional issues
• Guidelines are being adopted by states and cities as basis for codes, standards and incentives
• There is a movement away from simple point-based checklists toward more requirements and a focus on performance outcomes such as carbon emissions and energy consumption
• Life cycle assessment of materials is beginning to be included in guidelines and ratings
• There is increased focus on actual performance during operation and the need for a feedback loop and continuous improvement
Recent Trends
SAINT PAUL SUSTAINABLE BUILDING POLICY
• More regional variations• Accommodation of building type variations• More requirements, higher standards• Moving away from point-based checklists
toward integrated design • More focus on performance outcomes such as
carbon emissions• Life cycle assessment of materials• More focus on actual performance during
operation and need for feedback loop• Guidelines / Standards / Codes
Future Directions in Building Standards
SAINT PAUL SUSTAINABLE BUILDING POLICY
• Architecture 2030 is a great concept but needs work to apply it in practice
• Current guidelines and standards do not necessarily get you where you want to go
• There is an overwhelming amount of information
• There is no central source of information that shows costs and benefits based on actual performance in our region
• Lack of connection and information sharing between sectors — policy, finance, planning, design, construction and operation
• The problem is urgent — we have ten years!

BENEFITS OF SUSTAINABLE BUILDING STANDARDS
SAINT PAUL SUSTAINABLE BUILDING POLICY
Rating and certification systems help define green building in the market.
They inform how environmentally sound a building is, providing clarity regarding what green components have been incorporated , and what sustainable principle and practices have been employed.
Many different sustainable building standards exist, and each has pros and cons depending on the specifics of your building.
SAINT PAUL SUSTAINABLE BUILDING POLICY
The definition of a “green” building is often in the eye of the beholder. Following a sustainable building standard and receiving certification can reduce implied risks – such as green washing, which attempts to create the perception that a property is green, when in fact no real effort or expense has been invested to achieve that goal.
Certifying a green building informs tenants and the public about the environmental benefits of a property, and discloses the additional innovation and effort the owner has invested to achieve a high performance building.
SAINT PAUL SUSTAINABLE BUILDING POLICY
Green buildings are considered high performance buildings if implemented properly.
Strategically integrated mechanical, electrical and materials systems often create substantial efficiencies, the complexity of which is not always transparent.
Rating a green building identifies those systems objectively, and quantifies their contribution to energy and resource efficiency.
SAINT PAUL SUSTAINABLE BUILDING POLICY
Some sustainable building standards require third party verification of green strategies, thereby reducing the risk that the building will not perform to the expected standards of a green building. Rating or certifying a green building helps remove that subjectivity.
SAINT PAUL SUSTAINABLE BUILDING POLICY
Expectations of the Green Building Tenants:• Potential for reduced utility costs• More appealing work environment perhaps
leading to an enhanced ability to recruit and attract talent
• Greater productivity due to health and environmental benefits
• Reflection of the tenant's sustainability goals and positive image
SAINT PAUL SUSTAINABLE BUILDING POLICY
Expectations of Green Building Owners:• Potentially expedited permitting for new
construction and major renovation• Maximized result on investments through
reduced operating costs, extending equipment life due to “right-sizing” and improved operations
• Through commissioning, greater certainty that a building will perform as expected
SAINT PAUL SUSTAINABLE BUILDING POLICY
Expectations of a Green Building Investor:• Improved long-term value through reduced
performance risk• Objective, third party evaluation of properties
in order to compare buildings across a portfolio
SAINT PAUL SUSTAINABLE BUILDING POLICY
Expectations of a Green Building Property Manager:
• Management advantages grained through a high-performance building, yielding improved comfort for occupants, increased tenant retention, and reduced operating costs
• Fewer tenant and owner complaints• Potential for greater building marketability• Potential for greater building control over
energy costs

LEED for Homes
• Separate system, focused on housing• Somewhat different method of certification
– Projects must work with a LEED for Homes Provider
– Provider does initial verification– USGBC/Green Building Certification Institute does
final verification– Quicker certification timeline than LEED NC

MINNESOTA SUSTAINABLE BUILDING GUIDELINES (MSBG)

SAINT PAUL SUSTAINABLE BUILDING POLICY
Tenets of MSBG
• Follow Sustainable Building 2030 for an Energy Standard• Focus on achieving the lowest possible lifetime costs • Include air quality and lighting standards • Create and maintain a healthy environment • Facilitate productivity improvements • Specify ways to reduce material costs • Consider the long-term operating costs of the building
including the use of renewable energy sources and distributed electric energy generation that uses a renewable source or natural gas or a fuel that is as clean or cleaner than natural gas.
SAINT PAUL SUSTAINABLE BUILDING POLICY
Required only = No points
• MSBG awards no points for meeting certain criteria. Guidelines are simply required when they clearly contribute to the desired outcomes. Some guidelines are recommended rather than required until their benefits to the State can be clearly demonstrated. Where any inconsistencies may appear as to the extent of performance required or whether an item is recommended or required, the more strict (higher performing) case shall apply.

Connection to Real Outcomes
• Performance-based guidelines replace prescriptive measures wherever appropriate. The outcomes are documented within the MSBG Tracking Tool with its embedded calculation tools. The purpose of this system is to collect data on outcomes wherever possible, and to educate all participants in the process of determining outcomes. The performance of real projects is the outcome of this process.
SAINT PAUL SUSTAINABLE BUILDING POLICY
Performance Outcomes
• Total Energy Use (site operating energy)• Annual CO2 emissions (operating energy)• Potable Water Use (indoor use)• Potable water use (outdoor use)• Storm water rate of runoff• Construction waste to landfill
