1 CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE CENTER OF STATSBYGG S ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY Senior advisor, Zdena Cervenka Nordic LCA Network Copenhagen, May 2015 Den norske opera og ballett. Arkitekt: Snøhetta

2 WHY ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY WITH CLMATE CHANGE IN ITS CENTER?

3 BUILDING PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CONSULTING

4 BUILDINGS - A CLIMATE CHANGE PROBLEM Critical levels of the Earth s capacity are exceeded: More than 40% of energy consumption More than 1/3 of greenhouse gas emissions. Extraction of more than 50% of all primary materials More than 1/3 of total waste (Source: «Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe, EU Commission, 2011)

5 BUILDINGS - SOLUTION TO THE CLIMATE CHALLENGE By building and managing buildings with a carbon footprint as limited as possible, Statsbygg is impacting upon the whole value chain for buildings and contributes to innovation Statsbygg currently constructing the new National Museum in Oslo with high GHG-reduction target Illustrasjon av det nye Nasjonalmuseet i Oslo Det nye Nasjonalmuseet bygges med ambisjon om 50 % reduksjon av totale klimagassutslipp sml. dagens praksis. Forbildeprosjekt i FutureBuilt

6 APPROACHES AND OBJECTIVES

7 APPROACHES IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY Three overall priority areas Where Statsbygg s potential of influence is substantial Focus on an LCA approach and the whole value chain.

8 IMPORTANT PRINCIPLE: PERSPECTIVES ON VALUE CHAIN THE BUILDING SECTOR BECOMES MORE IMPORTANT Emissions from the energy use kwh CO2 Statsbygg can phase out fossil fuel fired boilers / energy efficiency Councelling Building process Management Tenant + emissions from the building materials industry Production of materials kwh CO2 Statsbygg can contribute by the selection of materials/ through procurement Counseling Building process Management Tenant CO2 Process related to disposal reuse and recycle + emissions from transport Production of fuels and vehicles CO2 Statsbygg can contribute through localization and prepare for env. friendly transport to/from buildings Conceling Building process Management Tenants s transport options CO2 8

9 THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISIONS CONCERNING SUSTAINABILITY ARE OFTEN TAKEN IN THE EARLY STAGES OF A PROJECT WHERE TO LOCALIZE THE BUILDING? 9 A zero-energy building is not sufficient in itself, one must also consider the location: If transport is needed to get there, high energy usage and emissions can be the result.

10 TAKING CLIMATE RESPONSIBILITY Long term ambitions: Deliver zero-emission buildings before 2030 Climate neutral property portfolio Contribute to a reduced environmental footprint of public sector activities Operaen. Arkitekt: Snøhetta

11 MAIN OBJECTIVES Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by min. 30% to zero for all new projects 2. Reduce the use of resources, and avoid materials causing health and environmental damages 3. Contribute to environmentally friendly solutions locally Pilot projects - an important instrument. The three main objectives concern all of Statsbygg s activities but with specific targets.

12 FOLLOWING UP THE ENV. STRATEGY: CARBON FOOTPRINT CALCULATIONS INTEGRATED INTO THE PROJECT MODEL AND ALONG THE ENTIRE VALUE CHAIN Statsbygg utfører Prosjekterende / rådgivere utfører 1 CO2-beregning Transport (lokalisering) 2 CO2-beregning Energi 3 CO2-beregning Materialer, energi og transport CO2-beregning Materialer, energi og transport (oppdatering) Prosjekterende / rådgivere/entreprenør utfører Statsbygg kan utføre CO2-beregning Materialer, energi og transport (oppdatering) CO2-beregning Materialer, energi og transport (oppdatering «som bygget»)

17 Kilde: ZEB Project report

18 MODEL FOR CALCULATING OF LIFE CYCLE GHG- EMISSIONS FOR BUILDINGS is a holistic life-cycle tool, which calculates carbon footprint/ghg-footprint of buildings based on the principle of Life Cycle Analyses (LCA). Calculates life-cycle GHG-emissions linked to: 1. Production of materials used in the building 2. Energy use in the operation phase 3. Transport of people and goods who use the building 4. Energy use and transport during construction phase The tool is developed by Statsbygg and Civitas AS and is available for free.

25 SUMMARY

26 BUILDINGS AS A PART OF SOLUTION Buildings represent crucial solutions in meeting the challenge of climate change. The entire buidling industry must join forces. Statsbygg committed to continue its work on developing zero emission buildings, based on LCAconsiderations. Statsbygg committed to continue its contributions on further development of carbon footprint calculations, along the entire value chain.
