Standard for the Design of High Performance Green Buildings

Learning Objectives

Recognize the importance of developing a code-intended standard for design of high-performance green buildings Dierentiate Standard 189.1 from green building rating systems (e.g. USGBC LEED) Identify mandatory provisions in Standard 189.1 to increase awareness of the intent of the standard Identify the two compliance path options (prescriptive and performance) and their associated provisions in Standard 189.1

STANDARD FOR THE DESIGN OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE GREEN BUILDINGS

What is Standard 189.1?

ANSI standard developed in model code language Provides minimum requirements for high-performance, green buildings Applies to all buildings except low-rise residential buildings (similar to ASHRAE/IESNA Std 90.1) It is not a design guide and not a green building rating system It is included as an optional Compliance Path included in the International Green Construction Code (IgCC)

Why Now?

Voluntary green building rating programs have raised the awareness of the benets of green building practices Voluntary green building programs were intended to be voluntary and not mandatory Over 1,400 jurisdictions in the U.S. have indicated they want to green their building codes Need to reduce the environmental impact of the built environment

STANDARD FOR THE DESIGN OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE GREEN BUILDINGS

Goals for Standard 189.1

Establish mandatory criteria in all topic areas

One challenge is existing green building rating systems contain few

mandatory provisions

Provide simple compliance options Provide exible compliance options to encourage innovation Complement green building rating programs
