Muistio Sivu 2 / 4 2 KAUPALLISET YMPÄRISTÖLUOKITUKSEN WORKPLAN Käytiin läpi kaupalliset ympäristöluokitukset workplan. Rintala esitteli sisällön ja keskusteltiin tehtävien sisällöistä. Tehtyyn työsuunnitelmaan tai sen tavoitteisiin ei tehty korjauksia. Workplan liitteenä. 3 BREEAM TILANNE Ken Dooley esittely BREEAM tilanteen (kalvot liitteenä) BREEAM muuttanut kantaansa kansallisten menettelyjen kehittämiseen. Enää ei vaadita täyttä kansallista lokalisointia tyyliin Ruotsi/norja, vaan BREEAM tarjoaa No/low-Cost BREEAM lokalisoinnin. Perusteena kevyelle lokalisoinnille ovat: Country specific reference sheets Mahdollisuus pieniin arviointiperusteiden korjauksiin Mahdollisuus yksittäisten pisteiden muutoksiin tai poistamiseen Suomen arvioinneista Mahdollisuus A10 helpompaan kehitykseen Todistustaakka kevyempi, kun A10 päivitykset tulevat yleiseltä organisaatiolta, ei yksittäisiltä konsulteilta BREEAM Finlandtilanne FiGBC ei halua tehdä omaa organisaatiota, jonka vastuulla olisi kansallisen järjestelmän ylläpito FiGBC ei halua rahoittaa kehitystä kotimaisen mallin kehittämiseksi Syynä korkea alkukustannus sekä nykyisiin markkinoihin suhteitettuna suuri vuotuinen peruskustannus Suomelle annettu mahdollisuus käyttää Ruotsi/Norja versiota Mahdollisuus tehdä hiukan muutettu FIN versio, jossa huomioitaisiin kotimaisia kohtia Suomessa mahdollisuus käyttää NOR / SWE versioita kriteeriperusteina BRE suuntaan eli hakea pistettä perustuen muiden pohjoismaiden Ruotsi ja Norja eivät erityisen innostuneita toimimaan myös Suomalaisten luokitusten arvioivana tahona Kehysorganisaation merkitys suuri BRE:n suuntaan, vaaditaan kattavaa ja edustavaa työryhmää ja päättäjää. Muita BREEAM järjestelmään liittyviä esille tulleita asioita Tarkennukset kriteerien Brittiläisten standardien ja vaatimusten eroista Suomalaisiin menettelyihin, tulkintaohjeet tiettyihin kriteereihin kansalliseen käytäntöön tarvittaisiin Hakemusta tehtäessä olisi hyvä tiedostaa, mitkä Suomalaiset osana normaalia suunnitteluprosessia tulevat dokumentit suoraan täyttävät hakemuksen vaatimukset BREEAM 2012 International julkaistaan noin 3-4 kuukaudessa. BREEAM kehitysryhmän lyhyen aikavälin tähtäimet - Country specific reference sheets - Checklist A10 kehitystyö
Muistio Sivu 3 / 4 Vaaditaan käytännössä yksi tekninen palaveri, jossa voitaisiin määrittää pisteet, joihin Suomessa haluttaisiin muutoksia ja päivityksiä. Sovitaan erikseen. 4 LEED TILANNE Ajanpuutteen vuoksi LEED asiat käsiteltiin kevyesti. LEED Regional Priority Credits lähetetty eteenpäin USGBC:lle. Ei palautetta kriteereistä. Pitäisi alustavan aikataulun mukaan tulla voimaan toukokuussa 2012. Aineisto liitteenä. LEED kehitysryhmän lyhyen aikavälin tähtäimet - Alternative Compliance Path eli ACP:t Suomalaisille menettelyille, perustuen LEED 2012 luonnoksen pisteisiin - Mahdolliset Suomalaiset pilot credit pisteet (esim. kaukokylmä) Tulisi pitää yksi tekninen palaveri, jossa voitaisiin määrittää pisteet, joihin Suomessa haluttaisiin muutoksia ja päivityksiä. Mahdollisuus myös etsiä Suomalaiset ACp:t. 5 YLEISDOKUMENTAATION TILANNE 6 MUUT ASIAT Yleisten dokumentaatioiden tarpeellisuudesta oltiin yksimielisiä. Käytännön keskustelua käytiin tarvittavista resursseista dokumenttien laatimiselle. Käytännön mahdollisuutena on keskusteltu yliopistomaailman mukaan tuomista, jolloin laajempaa yleisdokumentaatiota voitaisiin toteuttaa esimerkiksi diplomitöiden yhteydessä. Keskusteltiin luokitusten perusteluista. Käytännössä luokitusten perusteet usein brändiarvo tai laadullisen ohjauksen varmennus. Suomessa ei aineistoa, jolla voitaisiin suoraan osoittaa rahallisia säästöjä, kuten energiatehokkuuden parantamisessa. Käytännön hyvät ja tiiviit esimerkit vaatisivat kuitenkin osoittamisen Business casen kautta: prosessi, hyödyt, kaupallinen realiteetti, muut saavutettavat höydyt. Suunnitellun mukainen standardisoitu työsisältö tarjouspyyntöjen pohjaksi nähtiin erittäin tarpeellisena ja kannatettavana. Yleisdokumentaation lähiajan toimenpiteet: Yhteyksien avaaminen yliopistomaailmaan, esim. rakentamistalous Standardisoidun työsisällön kehitystyön aloittaminen Promise kehitys. Lappalainen esitti omana käsityksenään, ettei Promise kehitykselle ole tällä hetkellä olemassa suunnitelmia. vaikuttaa siltä, ettei kehitykselle ole suoraan olemassa mitään tilausta tai painetta käyttäjäkunnasta. Asiaan liittyvinä lähiaikoina tulevat uudet energiatodistukset (luonnokset ja kommenttipyynnöt julkaistu). Määräyksistä lähivuosina tulossa korjausrakentamisen ohjeet ja vaatimukset (ympäristöministeriö). 7 JATKOTOIMENPITEET Seuraava kokous 6.6.2012 klo 14:00 Granlundin tiloissa Malmilla.

Once these workgroups have been completed other tasks shall be developed in the future. 4.1 Workgroup task 1: BREEAM new buildings development workgroup The first task for the work group shall be to assist the development of BREEAM new buildings. It is important that this work is done first as in March to May 2012 there will be an opportunity to comment on BREEAM 2012 which will be launched in the summer. Number of members: approximately 10 people Breakdown of members: 5 BREEAM experts and 5 general construction sector Workgroup task aims: The BRE have suggested that the following tasks are the simplest method to enable easier certification of BREEAM projects in Finland. These tasks shall be done unless FiGBC decides to develop BREEAM Finland: o Comment on new version of BREEAM Europe 2012 by developing the Country Specific Reference Sheet for Finland. Work with BREEAM to adapt the credits for Finnish climate and culture BRE have suggested this o Development of BREEAM checklist A10. Work with the BRE for the approval of local Finnish standards BRE have suggested this 4.2 Work group task 2: LEED new buildings development workgroup Potential chairman: Timo Rintala or Ken Dooley Number of members: approximately 10 people Breakdown of members: 5 LEED experts and 5 general construction sector Workgroup task aims: Develop LEED alternative compliance paths for specific credits Begin and upkeep an ACP database ACPs should focus on poorly functional credits (Cooling towers, Water etc.) ACPs should also focus on European Union standards, guidelines and laws 4.3 Workgroup task 3: General tasks As the BREEAM and LEED tasks are being completed the work group will continuously work on general tasks Number of members: approximately 10 people Breakdown of members: general construction sector people Workgroup task aims: To write the scope, review and comment on the report written by an independent body that shall increase general understanding of the commercial assessment systems
3(6) To define commercial assessment systems training requirements for the FiGBC training committee to organize o It is assumed that all LEED and BREEAM training shall be outsourced to certified USGBC and BRE training companies Define the roles and responsibilities of project stakeholders for commercial assessment system projects. Tasks may include: o Standardise classification service & task o Who is responsible for project management of the LEED credits? o Who is responsible for translation? o Should the consultant provide template reports for all credits? o Who should fill out the online forms? o Who is responsible for contractors credits? o A typical tarjouspyyntö responsibilities list for each type of project Investigate co-operation of the kaupalliset ympäristöluokitus workgroup with Värkki project where possible 5 Increase general understanding brochure An important aim for 2012 shall be to write a report that shall increase general understanding of the commercial assessment (kaupalliset ympäristöluokitus) systems. The document shall be aimed at all construction stakeholders and shall simply explain the relevant systems such as LEED, BREEAM and Promise. The document should be written by an independent group of people and should not be the opinion of invested stakeholders such as consultants or contractors. It should also echo the sentiment of the FiGBC which is that all systems are supported. It should be evaluated who is best suited to write this document and if an organization outside the FiGBC is required. A key aspect of this work is the funding which may be required to pay for the completion of this task. Orgainsations such as the Aalto Real Estate Business unit may already have this material. The final document shall be to review and commented on by one of the General Tasks workgroup. 6 Further Steps Other items mentioned in the meeting that shall occur in 2012 but require further planning are: the organisation of a general meeting(s) where all FiGBC members are invited to hear about progress made and to provide feedback gain feedback from Antti Lippo regarding the members questionnaire Kenneth Dooley

MEMO 1(2) FiGBC Commercial classification Workgroup The Finnish Regional Priority Credits Date 6.4.2012 Author Timo Rintala, Green Building Partners Oy On behalf of Finnish Green Building Counsil 1 Background The original possibility to prepare the national Regional Priority credits ( RP s) came in January 2012. However, while the FiGBC workgroups were at January still very much under development, the Finnish group actually begun working only two weeks before the deadline. The Finnish group got also a good model from the Swedish GBC credit paper and, while Norway will be using Swedish credits, it was considered to be used as Finnish RP s. Based on preliminary voting, it was however quite clear that a dedicated Finnish credits should be used instead of Nordic. The Finnish credits are developed based on internet voting for the most suitable credits for the Finnish climate and practices. Two basic principles were recognized for suitable credits identification: - Highlighting credits that recognized to be most important in the Finnish environment - Highlighting credits that are not well recognized in typical Finnish construction and should be given more importance to drive the industry forward Based on voting among the Finnish task force included all members. Voting time was quite short, about one week. 2 The Finnish RP s Based on task group opinion and voting, the following is suggested for the Finnish RP s: - SS 5.1 Protect & restore habitat - SS 6.1 Stormwater Design, Quantity control - EA 1 Energy efficiency, 20 % savings - EA 1 Energy efficiency, 28 % savings - EA 2 On-site renewable energy, 1 % of renewables - IEQ 8.1 Daylight & views, Daylight Selected credits are mostly based to present issues, that are not normally considered in Finland and the selection would like to give them a bigger weight in decision making. Short reasoning for the selected credits is as follows:
2(2) SS 5.1 SS 6.1 EA 1 EA 2 IEQ 8.1 Protect & restore habitat While in Finland the construction is more and more urban and urban area is built more and more densely, the amount of open space is diminishing. In general the inbuilt natural area is protected in zoning, but the urban area is more and more built without vegetation. Also the Finnish construction practice is giving low value to protecting existing vegetation, while this could be saved in considerably higher amounts then today. So the amount of even small vegetated area in urban texture is with growing in value and should be encouraged. Stormwater Design, Quantity control The importance of stormwater management is growing and is by normal practice considered in Finnish zoning. However, the amount of non-pervious surfaces is growing fast and the amount of stormwater in municipal networks is higher than before. Also climate change has and will have effect on peak water amounts and more and more consideration should be given to the issue. While stormwater quantity control is not typically considered in construction projects, this will have a cost effect in the project and should be awarded. Energy efficiency, 20 % savings & Energy efficiency, 28 % savings Energy efficiency has a major role in governmental regulations and in green buildings in Finland. Up to day the Finnish regulations have been heat load and heating consumption focused based on the cold climate. In meantime, considerations with electricity use have been considerably lower. The importance of electricity use is raised in forthcoming regulations. LEED & ASHRAE energy calculation systematic, however, is based on costs. Cost also raises the importance of electricity use. The Finnish basic heat source in commercial buildings is energy efficient co-operation based district heating. Therefore using typical energy sources, district heat, more efficiently should be the basic solutions in new buildings. The current best practice commercial solutions in district heat connected buildings) in Finland lead to 20-25 % savings compared to ASHRAE minimum level, the first credit should be above this award improvements in controls and design. On-site renewable energy, 1 % of renewables The price of district heating and electricity is still lower then Europe average in Finland. Based on low electricity price the financial profitability of on-site energy solutions is low. Based on financial payback calculations, on-site solar power payback time is above 50 years and solar heat above 20 years. Currently the solar systems have had more brand value then real financial benefits. Thus the built up for on-site renewable of 1 % should be awarded more the one credit. Daylight & views, Daylight The typical commercial solutions in Finland have been to optimize the total amount of outer walls and this lead to deep frame solutions. The amount of daylight has also positive effect on electricity use based on lighting controls. Thus, the importance of daylight design should be highlighted.
