Transcription

1 The Swiss Sustainable Building Standard International Perspective Washington, 07 October 2009 Background From Masdar to MINTERGIE International (Abu Dhabi Cleantech Cluster) (Swiss Foundation, MINERGIE ) (Swiss Cleantech Reference Project) Page 2 1

2 Motivation Fundamental Drivers Growing World Population Growing Living Standards, Consumption 08/2009: 6.8bn Ecological Footprint/Debt Page 3 Need Sustainable Development Global Problem, International Effort Ecological Framework Blue mamrble Dynamic Market Social Framework Page 4 2

3 Sustainable Switzerland Much to Offer, Increasingly Important Differentiator SOURCE: Environmental Performance Index 2008, Yale University, Center for Environmental Law & Policy (Top 15) Page 5 Relevance Building & Urban Planning World Energy/Resource Consumption (Avg) Time Spent, Urban Population (Avg) Transport (25%) Industry (25%) Buildings (50%) AND Outdoors (10%) Indoors (90%) Infrastructure Lock-in...Health & Efficiency Page 6 3

4 Approach MINERGIE - Swiss Sustainable Building Standard Voluntary Building Standard for new and refurbished buildings Registered quality label Founded in 1997 Focus on quality, lifecycle value (rather than sacrifice) Keeping things simple, transparent: Comfort, Energy, Design-freedom 3 different Standard Levels Best Practice Solution Modules Page 7 Organisation Independent, Tied-in to Regulatory Structure Not for profit association: Supplier independence, d industry backing Closely linked to Cantons, Federal Government: Certification bodies, mandatory building codes Mandatory for public buildings in many Cantons Swiss scope, Swiss success (e.g. CHF/Ton of CO2) International strategy Note: Swiss building quality Page 8 4

5 Revenue Modest Setup, Large-scale Effect Export License Sale Info Materials Certification Fees Membership fees Sponsoring Government >> Investment in MINERGIE-Technology, 2008: CHF700m >> Investment in MINERGIE-Buildings, 2008: CHF11bn Page 9 Technology 80/20 Rule, Key Performance Indicators Top Insulation (incl. Windows) Airtight Shell Comfort Ventilation Freedom of Design PLUS: Maximum Energy Use, Minimum Indoor Quality Standards Operating & Certification Advantages Page 10 5

6 Technology-Effect Variety of Related Benefits, in Comfort & Efficiency Security Risks (Toxins, Prices, etc) Oil CO 2 Fresh Air Humidity Drafts Noise Dust/Pollen Odours Pests -Temperature Natural Light Page 11 MINERGIE Adoption Brand Page 12 6

7 MINERGIE Adoption Developers (generally accepted, Best Practice) Page 13 MINERGIE Adoption Finance (Ultimate Goal) Page 14 7

8 MINERGIE Drivers Sustainable Building P&L Total/Lifecycle Performance: Expenditure - Initial Investment, Finance - Operations & Maintenance - Terminal Costs, Liabilities Income + Sales/Rental Success/Occ. + Sales/Rental Price-Level + Revenue Years, Exit Value Impact of Sustainable Strategy: Higher construction costs (0-10%, design is key) Land/finance deals, grants Lower energy & utility costs, other maintenance costs (e.g. insurance) Lower clean-up costs Better marketing (PR, differentiation) Higher sales/rental income (improved quality, occupancy, moral margin) Longer building life (more revenue years), higher exit value >> Key Drivers: Quality, Time Horizons (Lifecycle), Energy Price (Regulatory Frame) Page 15 Example IBM s Swiss Headquarters, Extra Cost for MINERGIE : 0.71% Page 16 8

9 Penetration US/LEED Comparison MINERGIE, Q3 2009: certifications LEED, Q3 2009: certifications, applications Page 17 Next Phase International Approach Objective: Leveraging Swiss Know How (1) For Sustainable Development (2) For Economic Development Page 18 9

10 Case Study: Masdar City (1/3) World-leading Eco-City Development Masdar City Stats > inhabitants, commuters > 6m sqm of built-up area, USD22bn > 100% based on renewable energy > CO2 neutral > Zero waste > Car free > Cutting edge urban planning & building tech > Swiss Village Page 19 Case Study: Masdar City (2/3) Reality Today (MIST University, MIT) Page 20 10

11 Case Study: Masdar City (3/3) Swiss Village Cleantech Hub ( sqm), in MINERGIE ADFEC HQ Swiss Village MIST-University Page 21 Conclusion (1/2) Realistic Targets, Voluntary & Mandatory Approach Needed (1) Voluntary Standard (incl. awareness, training) Market Average Positive Energy Buildings Regulations Incentives, Awareness, Training (2) Government Framework Targets, References Page 22 11

12 Conclusion (2/2) Sustainable Switzerland: Partner for an International Solution Buildings & Urban Planning: important contribution to sustainable development (large potential, low cost, jobs) All actors need to be involved (public & private) First: Health/Comfort, Efficiency Second: Energy Technology & Business Model are key, Swiss success story MINERGIE : Ready for international expansion (2010) US Possibilities: Joint Research Projects, Vocational Training, Reference Developments, JV International Solution Kleinmatterhorn Restaurant, 3 883m above sea level (MINERGIE certified) Page 23 Thank you - Document Information Presented To Lunch Briefing, Capital Hill (organized by EESI & the Swiss Embassy) Presented By MINERGIE Contact: Nick Beglinger Tel: , nick.beglinger@ffgs.org File Name: FFGS_MIN_NickBeglinger_US_ _v03.ppt/pdf Date: 07/10/2009 Disclaimer The information contained in this document is confidential and privileged.
