GBC BRASIL GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL - BRASIL BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE Maria Clara Coracini June, 2011
Brazil Country of diversities
Brazil Population: 190.732.694 inhabitants (2010) 5th largest population in the world (source: IBGE) 84,35% live in urban areas (vs. 81,25% in 2000; 55.94% in 1970) Largest cities (# inhabitants): São Paulo - 11.244.369; Rio de Janeiro - 6.323.037; Salvador - 2.676.606; Brasília - 2.562.963 S. Paulo State- 41.564.817 inhabitants Extension: 8.514.876 km² (55.455 km² of water) GDP - $1,6 tr; 40% of Total Latin America Economic stability Economy recovery after almost 20 years of stagnation Estimated unemployment rate in 2011: 6,4% (source: IBGE) Current housing deficit 7 million houses (source:secovi) 24 million houses to be built in the coming 12 years (source: Fiesp)
Brazil Construction Sector Represented 9,2% of Brazilian GDP in 2010 Growth of 11% in 2010; estimated growth of 6% in 2011 Responsible for 43% of national investments 6.9 million direct workers; 10 million in all construction sector channel Materials industry at 87% of capacity Government investments: construction of hydroelectric plants, low income housing, etc Expected continued growth due to Olympic Games, World Cup, and massive investment in new infrastructure. Lack of general and skilled labor in construction after two decades of stagnation. Need to develop skilled labor to gain productivity. Increase of real estate sources of financing Modernization of the sector (new processes, industrialization of the sector) Challenge: sector to become sustainable with green buildings
Consumption Scenario in Brazil Economic growth People with higher purchasing power (19 million people rose from level D/E to medium class C; 12 million from C to A/B) Growing employment opportunities and more real estate credit Increasing dependence on technology Increase demand of energy
Environment Impact of the Construction Industry Larger consumer of natural resources worldwide (40%) Responsible for 25% of greenhouse gases in Brazil Consumes 42% energy 21% of the treated water Generates 60-70% of waste and garbage Waste of 11 a 15% of total cost Uses 15% to 25% of extracted wood; most of it is illegal
Why adopt Green Building practices? Environmental Benefits Economic Benefits Social Benefits
Green Buildings Green Building transforms the way buildings are designed, built and operated to: Create more comfortable, healthier, and sustainable built environments; Create these built environments while reducing energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, and solid waste generation; and Reduce costs, reduce liability, increase value, and achieve more predictable results in the design, construction, and operation of built environments.
We need to review the way we explore our natural resources manufacture what we sell we move ourselves and move the goods we buy and use products and how to re-use the products The solution represents opportunities for innovation, inventiveness and partnerships Opportunities to make the right thing the right way
Changing Behavior Natural resources are limited! Change in consumer habits Recycling and reuse culture Private and Public Sectors to Reduce Waste Households Industries Agriculture Commerce Construction Distribution Transportation Services
The Buildings sector of today has an oversized footprint Constructing new green buildings and retrofitting existing energy-and resource- intensive buildings stock can achieve significant savings Greening buildings also brings significant health and productivity benefits Greening the building sector can lead to an increase in jobs Developing countries have the opportunity to lay the foundation of energy efficient building stocks for decades to come The role of public policy and leadership by example is vital in triggering the greening of the building sector.
Energy use in buildings Brazilian Energy Matrix Commercial use (% in relation to total consumption): Source: Eletropaulo Air conditioning - 48% Lighting - 24% Pumps and elevators 13% Office equipment - 5% 2% 7% 1% 2% 23% 64% Hydroelectric Fossil Fuel Biofuel Other Thermo Nuclear Eolica Buildings consume a large proportion of the global energy supply but opportunities to improve efficiency are huge and the sector has the greatest potential more than any other sector to reduce global GHG emissions
Green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication History Capital misallocation - development and growth strategies encouraged rapid accumulation of physical, financial and human capital at the expense of excessive depletion and degradation of natural resources and ecosystems. NOW, from property, fossil fuels and structured financial assets to renewable energy, energy efficiency, public transportation, sustainable agriculture, ecosystem and biodiversity protection, and land and water conservation. Better public policies, including pricing and regulatory measures to drive capital allocation and appropriate regulations, policies and public investments to foster changes in the pattern of private investment.
Some Benefits of Certified Buildings Water consumption less 30-50% (water saving sanitary metals and ware, systems for rain water harvesting and reuse of gray water for irrigation and toilet flushing) Energy consumption - less 30% (intelligent design, renewable sources of energy, high performance materials and equipment, as heating, refrigeration and air conditioning systems, simulation systems, lighting and bulbs, etc) GGH emissions - less 35% and lower impact to natural resources (energy efficiency, materials, recycled or reused materials, legal wood extraction) Waste less 50-90% Condominium bill reduction of 20-40% Valuing of property and higher rental ~10 e 20%, respectively 3-5 yrs payback vs. 5-10 yrs for conventional building

Olympic Games and World Cup GBC helped the Brazilian Olympic Committee (COB) develop the sustainability and green building aspects of its proposal. As a result, new facilities will be LEED certified. The World Cup Organizing Committee, influenced by documentation sent by the COB, decided to recommend certification for the new and existing stadiums. BNDES Brazilian National Bank for Development - demands the green certification to loan money with better interests rates for construction or retrofit of stadiums. GBC Brasil helped BNDES in the writing of some terms to guarantee compliance with LEED Certification, according to the LEED procedures. As of today, 8 arenas have registered for LEED certification
