2. AGENDA
• Review the LCC issues for GREEN and Intelligent Buildings
• Examples of applying LCC to Green Building options
• Other life cycle environmental attributes covered under Life
cycle analysis
• Example of LCC for intelligent building choices
• Funding for the energy investments
• Associations and agencies that have programs to help pay for
the investments especially if they provide life cycle benefits.
Review your interests and share info on any projects and
challenges of applying life cycle costs under budgetary restraint
3/17/2010 2

3. Intelligent and Green Building
Investments
Typical problems that LCC can resolve:
Having lower life cycle costs provides the
incentive to overcome the lower first cost or
budgetary restrictions.
Building valuations that look at the revenues and
the operating costs are improved by having the
lower operating costs of better facilities.
Making repairs to existing equipment versus
advancing the purchase of new better
performing equipment
3/17/2010 3

4. Application to design and construction process
LCC analysis has many applications in the capital
asset, buildings and infrastructure projects that use
the design and construction process. Choosing the
appropriate materials and costing out the operating
and maintenance cost of different alternatives
provides the design and construction professional
the ability to include the owner’s financial criteria as
part of the process.

17. Sustainable Ecosystems
Appropriate Site Selection
Land that is already municipally serviced or has
previously been built upon should be favoured for
development over previously undeveloped areas to
enhance local ecology and preserved ecologically
sensitive areas.
Natural Corridors
When linked to natural areas, community green spaces
can provide valuable wildlife habitat and migration
pathways. Site design should encourage
interconnected natural areas and wildlife corridors.
Light Pollution Reduction Natural corridor and Riparian Zone
Minimizing outdoor lighting, without compromising
safety, can significantly reduce environmental threats to
nocturnal wildlife species.
Native Species Planting
Using plants that are native to a site reduces irrigation,
lowers pesticide and fertilizer use, and cuts Native plant species – Bullrushes, Canadian Goldenrod, and Switchgrass
maintenance costs. Site design should ensure 75% of
plantings are native.
Roadway Naturalization
Roadway edges and easements can support plantings
that provide habitat for natural corridors and can be
designed to reflect topographical and environmental
conditions.

18. Sustainable Energy Sources
Microclimatic Design
Building design that maximizes solar access in winter for Wind turbine at the Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto, ON
passive solar heat gain and shades windows in summer;
controls wind and snow exposure; insulates against
energy loss with green roofs of earth shelters, and
promotes green roofs reduces energy consumption,
Passive Solar Heating
Buildings with sufficient southern exposure can capture
sunlight in winter and release it as heat, reducing energy Photovoltaic curtain
costs. In the summer, trees, window overhangs and wall spandrels
sunshades block sunlight, keeping the building cool.
Natural or Hybrid Ventilation
Buildings may be ventilated and cooled passively if
designed to take advantage of temperature/pressure
differentials inside and outside the building, thereby
creating cross-ventilation. Natural ventilation can be Photovoltaic
combined with traditional systems in a hybrid design. bus shelter
Solar-Powered Street Furniture
Signs, bus shelters, street lights, and parking meters can
easily function off-grid with a small solar array.
Community-Based Energy Generation Photovoltaic light
Renewable energy comes from non-fossil fuel based South-facing
sources, like the sun, wind, water or earth. Governments, housing, Milton
utilities and individuals should consider these sources Vegetated "green" roof,

19. Sustainable Resource Use
Eco-Industrial Synergies
One company’s waste may be another company’s resource. Encouraging
regional economic exchange of by-products and energy leads to increased
energy efficiency, reduces pollution, decreases waste volumes, and creates
new market opportunities.
Adaptive Re-Use of Existing Buildings
New buildings consume approximately 50% of all materials produced. Re-
using existing structures, or salvaging their materials (such as brick, steel,
timber, doors, fixtures, etc) conserves large quantities of resources and
helps to preserve existing urban/cultural infrastructure.
Recycled Material Use
Tires, concrete, asphalt, fly-ash, carpet, ceiling tiles, and metal products can
all be recycled for use in urban infrastructure such as roads. Materials in
open spaces, such as playground equipment and surfaces, benches, tables,
bike racks and signs can be recycled, recyclable or re-usable.

On-site Composting and Recycling
Niagara Region has a waste diversion goal of 65% by 2012. For this goal to
be realized, areas for the handling, storage and separation of recyclables
should be commonplace, and composting should be a priority where food
waste is being produced.
ECD Energy and Environment Canada Ltd.

20. Sustainable Transportation
Improved Building Access
The energy needed to transport goods and for commuting to
building is often equal to the amount of energy needed to operate
the building. To reduce energy consumption, access routes for
goods should be optimized and walking distances to public transit
should be shortened.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Traffic
Walkable and bikeable communities expand transportation
options, diversify neighbourhoods, and reduce reliance on
automobiles. Foot and bike paths, denser urban fabric, reduced
auto speeds, and sheltered bicycle parking should be a priority.
Alternative Parking Arrangements
The minimum number of parking spaces required for a
development is determined by the peak demand. This can be
excessive in some circumstances and options such as parking in
lieu and parking on alternative sites may be more desirable.
Designated carpool lot
Carpooling
Shared vehicle transportation reduces automobile usage and Bike lanes and bike storage facility
congestion. Convenient pick-ups areas and a voluntary database
of occupants’ postal codes help to promote carpooling.
Alternative Fuel Re-Fueling Stations
Public interest in vehicles fuelled by alternative fuels (such as
electricity, natural gas, ethanol and biodiesel) is increasing, but
these vehicles need conveniently located re-fuelling stations to Hydrogen re-fuelling station,
grow in number. Canadian National Exhibition,
Toronto, ON
ECD Energy and Environment Canada Ltd.

21. Sustainable Water & Wastewater Services
Stormwater Management
Site design should focus on increasing ground
infiltration of water and reducing quantity and off-site
treatment of run-off. Practices include minimizing
impermeable paved surfaces, storing water in
catchment systems, increasing vegetation, and
creating retention ponds and infiltration basins. Bioswale, Water Lving Machine wastewater facility, Nova
Pollution Control Lab, Scotia
Portland, Oregon
Bioswale Design
Grassed or vegetated drainage channels, an
alternative to traditional curb and gutter stormwater
management, retain water and break down road
contaminants. Planters
Impermeable
Paving
Riparian Permeable
Snow Pile Placement Zone Bioswale Paving
Snow piles should be placed away from drainage
courses and storm drain inlets to diminish impact of
salts and other toxins on stream courses.
Water
Table
Riparian Zone Protection
Vegetated transition areas between a body of water
and upland area control erosion, filter run-off, and
provide animal habitat.
Innovative Wastewater Treatment
Grey-water recycling, composting toilets, constructed
wetlands and Living Machines can reduce overall Storm
water consumption and reduce BOD content in Stream Sewer
wastewater to levels lower than those produced
through conventional treatment.

22. Sample LCC Application to Sustainability
Green Roofs
DEARBORN, Michigan -
Ford is installing an
environmentally sound
roof on its $2-billion
redevelopment of its
Rouge River
manufacturing complex.
Keith Schneider, program
director of the Michigan
Land Use Institute,
praised the green roof
plan as innovative, if not a
little risky. The new Ford
Rouge Center assembly
plant construction is one
of the largest industrial
redevelopment projects in
the US.
The green approach is designed to save Ford $35
million, when compared with the cost of installing a
conventional treatment system, Schneider says.

77. How ERIP Works
The program works this way:
• You assess your need for new electricity
upgrades.
• You decide on what equipment or technology you are
going to use to save electricity.
• You agree with your local distribution company about
the project.
• Once installed and verified, the program will reimburse
you a portion of the equipment costs based on that
calculation of how much electricity efficiency expected
to be gained.
