INTRODUCTION
NATURAL CAPITALISM
“The next Industrial revolution, like the first one, will be a response to changing patterns of scarcity. It will create upheaval, but more importantly, it will create opportunities.”create opportunities.”
Natural Capitalism: Creating the Next Industrial Revolution, Paul Hawken

WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
“Sustainable Design is a
design philosophy that
seeks to maximize the
quality of the built
environment, while environment, while
minimizing or eliminating
negative impact to the
natural environment.”
Jason McLennan - The Philosophy Of Sustainable Design
SHAPING SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
1. Regionalism: recognizing local conditionsfor materials, sun, wind, light and water.
2. Solar income: Use of any energy source that is renewable and currently available.
3. Old solar savings: Nonrenewable that when used release centuries of carbon when used release centuries of carbon dioxide as in coal and petroleum.
4. Look to nature to provide solutions for comfort.
5. Design as adoption to place and climate instead of technological control.
Jason McLennan - The Philosophy Of Sustainable Design
THE CARBON FOOTPRINT
Embodied Energy refers to the quantity of energy to manufacture, and supply to the point of use, a product, material or service

SUSTAINABILITY & THE CARBON FOOTPRINT
A carbon footprint encompasses all
CO2 emissions on-site and off-site
over the full life cycle of the design,
manufacture and disposal of a
product or service.product or service.

WHY SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
• Took thousands of years for our population to reach one billion
• Taken less than a century to reach six billion
• Predicted to grow in this century to ten billion
• Half buildings in USA will be built 2000 - 2030 • Half buildings in USA will be built 2000 - 2030 Prof Arthur C Nelson
DESIGNING SUSTAINABLY
1. Whole system thinking
2. Team work
3. Shifting the design curve
4. End-use/least-cost considerations
5. A true commitment
END USE CONSIDERATIONS
• Least cost-highest value
• Purpose - functionality
• Space considerations
• Financial

LIGHT
Daylighting:Is the choice, art, practice or science of using indirect natural lighting to illuminate the interior of buildings, reducing the need for electric lighting.
Cool Daylighting:Cool Daylighting:Is the successful application of daylighting using holistic design strategy that uses daylight to reduce the need for electric lighting, balances the need for quality light without causing unwanted glare and reduces the need for space cooling.
Daylighting Collaborative
LIGHT
LIGHT
• Eye adjusts dark to light in 2 to 3 seconds
• Eye adjusts light to dark in 2 to 3 minutes2 to 3 minutes
LIGHT
NorthNorth NorthNorth NorthNorth NorthNorth
• East-west axis gives greater access to penetrating daylight with reduced heat gain, but more difficult to manage
• Long north-south axis creates greater exposure to low sun with more heat gain.
LIGHT
Management
• Develop appropriate control strategies
• Utilize building geometry & spatial arrangements
that promote daylighting distribution
• Configure building to maximize number of spaces utilizing daylighting
LIGHT
Toplighting
• Light the space, not the task
• General rule: 5% of ceiling area
• Avoid direct skylight & sunlight on critical tasks
• Bounce daylight off surfaces
• Bring daylight in from above to get deeper into space• Filter sky light
• Maximize ceiling heights
LIGHT
Sidelighting
• Differentiate view windows from daylight windows
• Balance amount of light across a space
• Consider integrated approach with toplighting

Natural Ventilation
• The natural process of supplying and moving air
• By design utilizes wind, humidity, warm air buoyancy
to bring fresh air in and force stale air out
AIR
Architecture of Natural Ventilation
• Operable windows
• High exhaust vents
• Low intake vents
• Open building plan
• Atria• Atria
• Court yards
• Internal stairwells
• Ventilation chimneys
AIR
Elements of Natural Ventilation
• Building location and orientation
• Building form and dimensions
• Window typologies and operation
• Other aperture types (doors, chimneys) • Other aperture types (doors, chimneys)
• Construction methods and
detailing (infiltration)
• External elements (walls, screens)
• Urban planning conditions
AIR
Two Types Of Natural Ventilation:
• Wind driven ventilation
• Stack ventilation.
Wind Creates Areas Of:
• Positive pressure on the windward side • Negative pressure on the leeward side

Making A Difference
“A brand that captures your mind gains behavior. A brand that captures your heart gains commitment.”

LIVING THE COMMITMENT
• Sustainability at the core of your– Company– Product(s)
• Walking the talk
• Knowing your audience• Knowing your audience

THE CHANGE
“Every few hundred years in Western history there occurs a sharp transformation. Within a few short decades, society – its world view, its basic values, its social and political structures, its arts, its key institutions – rearranges itself. And the people born then cannot even imagine a world in which their grandparents lived and into which their own parents grandparents lived and into which their own parents were born. We are currently living through such a transformation.
Peter Drucker, Post-Capitalist Society
THE CHANGE

BUSINESS PRACTICES
• Companies Actions and Decisions Can Have a Long Lasting Positive Or Negative Affect
• Marketing (is it true or building an image)
• How They Do Business (fair trade, international practices)
• Employees First • Employees First
• Shareholders (Corporate Responsibility Report)
• Financial Practices
BUSINESS PRACTICES
Products & Services• Market Place (products and business need to fit their
market)• Product Design (products reflect companies core
values, types, materials cradle – cradle, post production & post consumer content, carbon tracking)
• World population is around 6.45 billion • World population is around 6.45 billion • “About" 10% of the world's people have Internet
access
