WORKSHOP: The roles of wood in green building and green building effects on the forest sector of in the UNECE region.
Alison Rowles-Anobile, Special Advisor IUCN Conservation Center Green Building Project
Are ENGO’s ready to promote the use of wood as the preferred building material?

Why IUCN is Building Green
• Worldwide, buildings account for up to 40% of CO2 emissions• Buildings account for 43% of the US CO2 emissions with BRIC
countries catching up.• Greenhouse gas emissions from US buildings is equal to the
combined emissions from Japan, France and the UK. • Over the next 25 years emissions from buildings will increase faster
than in any other sector• China is building the equivalent of Japan’s total building area every
three years!• IUCN wants to:
– Encourage others to build green– Provide access to the knowledge and tools to do so – Link biodiversity conservation and sustainable construction

IUCN Conservation Center Objectives
Green Building Standards– MINERGIE-P (Switzerland)
• Low energy consumption– MINERGIE-ECO (Switzerland)
• Green construction and design– LEED: Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(USA) «Gold/Platinum»• Rating system that includes standards for site development,
water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor air quality.
• High Performance Energy Systems (Solar and Thermal)85% of Energy Consumption from renewable sources
• Water Efficiency (reclaimed water and storm water management)Potable water use 22% less than baseline
• Materials and Resources (minimal use of materials)CO2 reduced and recycled concrete + thermal concrete75% of the wood FSC
• High Indoor Environmental Quality (CO2 controlled air supply)passive solar with natural light throughout

Sample Guidelines and Standards in process
• WWF: One Planet Living• WBCSD: Energy Efficiency in Buildings ( EEB project)• Green Globes Design: Building Owners and Managers Association of Canada
(BOMA)• Green Building Initiative (GBI) Green Globes in the USA (ANSI Std)• Green Schools: Earth Day Network• SBCI: Sustainable Buildings and Construction Initiative (UNEP)• Bovis Lend Lease Company Standards – Global Developer• ISO – Standards for Intelligent and Sustainable Buildings
• National Governments:– BREEAM: BRE Environmental Assessment Method (UK)– MINERGIE ECO and P: (Switzerland)– CASBEE: Comprehensive Assessment System for Building Environmental
Efficiency (Japan)– Green Star: Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA)– LEED:Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, US Green Building

URBANIZATION CHALLENGES
Increasing energy intensities, appliance uptake, area per capita
Residential buildings
Commercial buildingsChina adding 2x current U.S. commercial floor space 2000-2020
