  3. “GREEN” Objectives....Energy independence?Economic Opportunity?Environmental stewardship?Just a new hobby? -or- All of these “TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE”

  4. CALCULATOR • The amount of carbon generated by any given product or process. • For action there is a resulting carbon trail. • Measured in tons of carbon dioxide. • Green Awareness Training, HVAC Excellence UNDERSTAND YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINTDefined as:

  5. HIGH PERFORMANCE BUILDINGAn occupied building employing the use of sustainable materials, efficiencies, water and energy conserving technologies and practices; LEED language.NET ZERO ENERGY BUILDINGA building with zero net energy consumption and zero carbon emissions annually TOP TEN GREEN SCRAPERS

  6. GEOTHERMAL GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMPSFor Heating as well as Cooling 24 Hour Installation Certification hosted by the United Association and IGSHPA. Examples: Lansing Community College West Campus, LSD’s Pattengill Middle School, Washtenaw Community College. Availability, Return on Investment? Sustainable? Environmental concerns? Lansing School District – Pattengill Middle School

  7. SOLAR HEATING AND COOLING Passive Solar Active Solar Solar Air Heating Solar Cooling Absorption or Thermal Driven Solar Water Heating Availability? Reliability? Affordability? Biggest Question...Sustainable?

  8. RAINWATER HARVESTINGhttp://www.gm.com/corporate/responsibility/environment/news/2006/leed-cert_080406.jsp LANSING GM DELTA ASSEMBLY PLANT, 2006 Non-manufacturing water use has been reduced by 45 percent, for a savings of over 4.1 million gallons of water annually. Rainwater is collected from the roof by a cutting-edge roof drain system. It is then stored in cisterns above rest rooms and is used instead of potable water to flush toilets. Waterless urinals that use a filter-based technology save over 1 million gallons of water annually. MSU Recycling Center – Under Construction Lawrence V. Bliss AIA, LEED AP;

  9. ETAHNOL PRODUCTION • Not a “Green” or sustainable discipline but a “Green product brought to you by men and women of the Construction Building Trades • How many various Skilled Trade applications can be identified in the photos? • Two facilities constructed in the Local 333 • Jurisdiction.

  10. JACKSON POWER PLANT, 2000 • Combined cycle natural gas and steam generators. • Waste Heat Recovery. • Stack Scrubbers Capture 90 Percent of sulfur Emissions.

  11. Green Awareness Certification, 20 hours Building Automation Water Treatment, Grey Water Recycling High Efficient Heating and Cooling Steam Technology and Conservation Combustion Analysis R410a Certification – R22 Phase out Motor Efficiency, VFD’s Pump Performance Heat Loss Calculation Welder Certifications, Orbital Heat Recovery, Economizers Water Distribution, Protection High Efficient Plumbing Fixtures Geothermal Installation Cert., 24 Hour Solar Heating and Cooling Cogeneration, Nuclear, Nat.
