  1. Kevin W. Poirot Vice President May 23, 2008 Building Green: What You Should Know

  2. Today’s Agenda • What is Green Building and how does it relate to LEED Certification • Choosing the right certification • New Branches/Operations Centers • Existing Facilities • Renovations and fit outs • Prototype branches • LEED Certification for Branches • Setting Goals • Site Selection • Recommended Credits for Certification of a Branch • Costs • Why Go Green

  3. What is Green Building and how does it relate to LEED Certification • Not all Green buildings are LEED Certified, but all LEED Certified buildings are Green

  4. What is Green Building and how does it relate to LEED Certification • A Green building, also known as a sustainable building, is a structure that is designed, built, renovated, operated or reused in an ecological and resource-efficient manner. • Green buildings are designed to meet certain objectives such as protecting occupant health; improving employee productivity; using energy, water, and other resources more efficiently; and reducing the overall impact to the environment. • LEED, a third-party certification program, is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings.

  5. Choosing the Right Certification • LEED for New Construction • New construction from the ground up for branches and operations centers • LEED for Existing Buildings • Going greener in your existing building • LEED for Commercial Interiors • Fitting out retail space as a tenant • LEED for Retail • The Prototype branch

  6. LEED Certification for Branches • Setting Goals • Recommended Credits for Certification of a Branch • Costs • Why Go Green

  7. Setting Goals • Identifying your LEED Certification level up-front is critical • Certified 26–32 points, Silver 33–38 points, Gold 39–51 points, Platinum 52–69 points • Identify your reasons for going green • Know your tolerance limits for the associated costs • Get your board and building committee to buy into the expense • After deciding on a certification level, aim higher in case some credits fall through

  8. Recommended Credits for Certification of a Branch • Sustainable Site • Water Efficiency • Energy & Atmosphere • Material & Resources • Indoor Environmental Quality • Innovation & Design Process

  10. Recommended Credits: Sustainable Site (cont)

  11. Recommended Credits: Water Efficiency

  12. Recommended Credits: Energy & Atmosphere

  15. Recommended Credits: Indoor Environmental Quality

  16. Recommended Credits: Indoor Environmental Quality(cont)

  17. Recommended Credits: Innovation & Design Process

  18. Branch Certification: Costs • $25,000 to $50,000 for LEED Certification vs. standard construction • Return on investment is substantially longer on smaller facilities • Cost benefit usually not the main reason for going green on a branch

  19. Why Go Green? • Environmental benefits • Enhance and protect ecosystems and biodiversity • Improve air and water quality • Reduce solid waste • Conserve natural resources • Economic benefits • Reduce operating costs • Enhance asset value and profits • Improve employee productivity and satisfaction • Optimize life-cycle economic performance

  20. Why Go Green? • Health and community benefits • Improve air, thermal, and acoustic environments • Enhance occupant comfort and health • Minimize strain on local infrastructure • Contribute to overall quality of life
