Extractions: SEATTLE.GOV City Services Departments Staff Directory ... City Contacts Sustainable building can reduce the tremendous impact that building design, construction and maintenance has on both people and nature. According to the U.S. Department of Energy's Center for Sustainable Development, buildings consume 40% of the world's total energy, 25% of its wood harvest and 16% of its water. The building industry is the nation's largest manufacturing activity, representing more than 50% of the nation's wealth and 13% of its Gross Domestic Product. Energy and material consumption in buildings can contribute significantly to global climate change. Sustainable building goes beyond energy and water conservation to incorporate environmentally sensitive site planning, resource efficient building materials and superior indoor environmental quality. Some of the key benefits are: Sustainability does not require advanced training in esoteric applications nor is it a technology limited to highly-specific market niches. Sustainability combines three components economy, environment and social equity and implies global stewardship of the earth's resources.

Extractions: Thomas Hardy Petroleum geologists have known for 50 years that global oil production would "peak" and begin its inevitable decline within a decade of the year 2000. Moreover, no renewable energy systems have the potential to generate more than a fraction of the power now being generated by fossil fuels. In short, the transition to declining energy availability signals a transition in civilization as we know it. Read the entire synopsis now!

http://sustainability.unc.edu/energy.html

Extractions: Sustainability Coalition Conveners: Ray DuBose and Ralph Taylor Mission Statement: The mission of The Energy Sustainability Task Group is to exhibit a commitment to sound energy management by supporting adoption of best practices for energy efficiency across campus. Overview/Issues: Energy issues relate to environment, economics, and efficiency. Some issues overlap with Green Buildings, for instance the Energy Star Buildings Program, sponsored by US EPA. Both groups are jointly gathering information and laying groundwork for possible partnership with EPA in the Energy Star Building Program. Progress to Date: With the support of the ESTG, two members, Ray DuBose and Bill Lowery, were instrumental in submitting an application under the EPA Energy Star program for Combined Heating and Power (CHP). As a result, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has been selected to receive a certificate for its Cogeneration Facility, for pollution prevention and low emissions. The award will be presented at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., on March 21, 2000. We are proud of this award on a first-time application, as recognition of exemplary energy practices already in place. Goals: The Energy Sustainability Task Group is currently setting goals, to help guide the group's efforts in having a positive impact at UNC with regard to energy issues.

Extractions: We specialize in technology development: We employ the principles of Ecological Economics : Our planet is experiencing a crisis of unprecedented proportions: with increasing demands for resources of dwindling quality and increasing costs of extraction, we are consuming our "seed corn" and our wastes are piling up beyond our planet's capacity to absorb them. This is not sustainable in the long term. There are debates about how much time we have, but it is clear that humanity is challenging the limits of the natural order as never before. Virtually by definition, one of the solutions to achieving sustainability is the transition from an economy based on oil to one based on solar energy. Employing this solution, our programs and projects are based on two primary principles:

http://www.cato.org/pubs/pas/pa-341es.html

Extractions: Cato Policy Analysis No. 341 April 22, 1999 The Increasing Sustainability of Conventional Energy by Robert L. Bradley Jr Robert L. Bradley Jr. is president of the Institute for Energy Research in Houston, Texas, and an adjunct scholar of the Cato Institute. An earlier version of this paper was presented at the 17th Congress of the World Energy Council in Houston, Texas, in September 1998. Executive Summary Environmentalists support a major phase-down of fossil fuels (with the near-term exception of natural gas) and substitution of favored "nonpolluting" energies to conserve depletable resources and protect the environment. Yet energy megatrends contradict those concerns. Fossil-fuel resources are becoming more abundant, not scarcer, and promise to continue expanding as technology improves, world markets liberalize, and investment capital expands. The conversion of fossil fuels to energy is becoming increasingly efficient and environmentally sustainable in market settings around the world. Fossil fuels are poised to increase their market share if environmentalists succeed in politically constraining hydropower and nuclear power. Artificial reliance on unconventional energies is problematic outside niche applications. Politically favored renewable energies for generating electricity are expensive and supply constrained and introduce their own environmental issues. Alternative vehicular technologies are, at best, decades away from mass commercialization. Meanwhile, natural gas and reformulated gasoline are setting a torrid competitive pace in the electricity and transportation markets, respectively.
