Introduction
“Green” Construction is Here to Stay
Market Acceptance of LEED Rating System¹ ²
USGBC Membership Explosion²
“Green” is Good!
Energy & Operation Cost Reduction¹
Building Lifecycle Increase¹
“Green” building sector leaders
Education, Healthcare & Office Environments³
Market Expansion from $12B in 2008 to $60B in 2010⁴
Current Statistics

“Green” Building History“Green” building system components can be traced back to 1851¹
Modern “green” building movement gained North American popularity during the 1930s and again in the early 1970s¹ ²
The Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) rating system was developed by professional practitioner volunteers²
The US Green Building Council (USGBC) began in 1993 & launched the LEED system in 1998²
Many Fortune 500 firms in support of LEED certification both as building owners and product manufacturers³
Texas serves as a leader with nearly 100 LEED certified buildings and over 700 registered projects⁴

Philosophic Commonalities
Green Building Philosophy Focus: ¹ ²‒ Building Performance Sustainability (Normal)‒ Long-Term Operating Cost Reduction‒ Building Performance Elevation (Emergencies)
Property Conservation Philosophy Focus: ³ ⁴‒ Capital Investment & Market Share Preservation‒ Performance Longevity via Maintenance‒ Natural or Man-made Catastrophic Loss Mitigation
12
“Green” Principles & Risk Control ConceptsSustainable Site & Selection Process¹ ³
‒ Earthquake, Flood, Hail, Snow & Wind Exposures²‒ Construction Component Fire Resistance²
Water Efficiency¹‒ Fire Protection Water Supply Integrity³‒ Fire Protection System Testing Methodology³
13
“Green” Principles & Risk Control ConceptsEnergy & Atmosphere¹
‒ Fire Protection System Atmospheric Requirements²‒ Construction Component Fire Resistance³‒ Building Envelope Wind Resistance Capability,
Condition & Maintenance³
Materials & Resources¹‒ Housekeeping & Storage of Recycled Materials³‒ FM Approval/UL Listing of Recycled Products as
Noncombustible Material³ ⁴
14
“Green” Principles & Risk Control ConceptsIndoor Environmental Quality¹
‒ No Smoking Policy with Enforcement²‒ Exhaust/Venting Impact on Sprinkler Performance³‒ Atrium/Skylight Impact on Sprinkler Performance³‒ FM Approval/UL Listing of Low Emitting Materials³
Building Innovation¹‒ Integrated Building Design Team Impact²‒ Operational Innovation Impact
Gulf Coast Issues
16
Specific Gulf Coast Issues
Sustainable Site Selection Building Footprint Minimization Impact
‒ Increased Building Height Design Impact¹ ²‒ Atria Fire Detection & Protection¹‒ Roof Drainage Issues ¹ ³
Green Roofing System Utilization‒ Insurance Industry Guidelines¹ ² ³‒ Building Code Suggestions⁴
Hurricane & Flood Mitigation‒ Landscaping Sustainability
17
Specific Gulf Coast Issues
Water Efficiency‒ Water Supply Suitability for Fire Protection¹‒ Fire Protection System Testing Frequency Impact² ³
Energy & Atmosphere‒ Building Envelope Performance During Hurricanes‒ Green Roofing Systems‒ Window (Glazing) Protection Features‒ Limit use of Canopies & Overhangs for Shade
18
Specific Gulf Coast Issues
Materials & Resources ‒ Limited Selection of FM Approved/UL Listed Recycled
Construction Products‒ Suggested Benefit from Using “Certified” Combustible Wood
Products
Indoor Environmental Quality‒ Skylight Wind/Projectile Protection‒ “Hardened” Interior Component Water Resistance
Gulf Coast Challenges
Hail Storms or Tornados Flood from Multiple Sources
