Answer: At approximately 3,400 square feet, this new house required 40 mature, full-growth trees, that were previously growing on 2 acres of mature forests, to build this one new house.


BUILDING HOMES LIKE THIS IS
NOT SUSTAINABLE!

Our "sustainable" homes and commercial buildings use 95% - 100% less wood and timber products, and use 75% to 100% less energy compared to non-sustainable homes and commercial buildings!

Our company is one of the leading companies that promotes and provides sustainable building design and planning solutions that absolutely minimizes the environmental impact for our new homes, commercial buildings and real estate developments. Companies and homeowners that adapt Sustainable Building Solutions, Sustainable Building Technologies, and Sustainable Architecture, are truly serving their client's, families and our nation's future. 

There is a finite amount of natural resources, and as the supplies are reduced, their prices go up. Just look at the price of energy.  Our country is in a precarious position as more than 50% of our nation's oil is imported. We have reached "peak oil" production, and as a result, the price of oil, as well as other energy substitutes such as natural gas - have sky-rocketed in the past 2-3 years. Since much of our electricity in the U.S. is made through simple-cycle and combined cycle power plants, that are fueled by natural gas, electricity prices have also sky-rocketed in deregulated states. Similarly, as a result of last year's hurricanes, particularly Katrina and Rita, the price of building materials (plywood, 2 x 4's, sheetrock, etc.) have markedly increased the past 12 months as well.  

In the case of energy resources, once a new home or building is built, the owner of the new home, is essentially, "locked-in" and "captive" to the building's energy systems for the life-cycle of their new home or building. And so is that home or building's future owners. For example, a homeowner that built a new home just 10 years ago in Dallas, Texas, may have installed natural gas for the home's water heating, space heating, cooking, and clothes dryer.  The rest of the home used electricity for all other energy requirements including air-conditioning, lighting, refrigeration, etc. But in the last 4 years, natural gas prices have increased from about $4.00/mmbtu (industrial price) $6.00/mmbtu (retail price) to over $12.00/mmbtu, with spot prices spiking to almost $20.00/mmbtu. And electric rates have nearly doubled in much of Texas.  Since January 2002, when Texas' electric rates and utilities became "deregulated," TXU has raised their electric rates an incredible 82%! Texas now has some of the most expensive electric rates, with the "price to beat" in TXU areas (north Texas, which includes Dallas and Fort Worth) for residential customers at $0.15/kWh. 

For these reasons, we incorporate Solar Cogeneration and Solar Trigeneration power and energy systems in our Net Zero Energy Buildings and Net Zero Energy Houses.

Our Sustainable Building Technologies conserve and preserve our environment by using up to 95% less timber, 50% to 70% less energy, and conserve natural resources, through sustainable design and construction technologies as compared to traditional homes and commercial buildings. 

At the heart of our Sustainable Building Solutions homes and commercial buildings are; sustainable architecture designs and Structural Insulating Panels or Insulating Concrete Forms. Our Net Zero Energy Buildings and Net Zero Energy Houses made from our SIPs that are virtually:

*  Permanent and built to last over 100 years! 
*  50% to 100% more efficient than typical homes or buildings. (This translates into monthly
    electric expenses of up to 100% less than what you are paying now - that's right, complete
    elimination of monthly electric expenses!) 
*  Fire-proof
*  Mold-proof
*  Termite-proof
*  Storm-resistant 
*  Wood-free except for doors, cabinets and trim

Sustainable Architecture, Building Design and New Home and Commercial Building Construction Practices

Our own definition of "sustainable architecture" is: "Environmentally-friendly houses and commercial buildings, designed and built using sustainable building technologies, materials, and sustainable energy systems, which will not burden future generations with environmental and financial debts."

Why we need Sustainable Architecture as a Foundation for Building our New Homes and Commercial Buildings 

The idea of sustainable architecture is not new. Countless numbers of homes and buildings that were built 200, 300 and even 500 years ago throughout much of Europe.  They were built to last.  They're cool in the summer and warm in the winter, without consuming massive amounts of electricity and energy. 

The non-sustainable "cheap" homes and buildings that are now built, have significant and costly repercussions in terms of the home or commercial building's life-cycle costs. Our nation's demand for cheap, non-sustainable architecture, instead of utilizing sustainable architecture -  is both the fault and responsibility of the architect customer. 

The price of our past failures are now readily apparent, and it is time to create solutions!

The Cost to our Nation of NON-Sustainable Architecture

NON-sustainable architecture, like our country's national debt, has provided our country with cheap homes and commercial buildings that threaten our nation's safety, security, health and finances.  They also consume and waste huge amounts of resources.  From Florida to Louisiana, from New Hampshire to Oklahoma, and from California to Cancun, we have seen the results of our failure to design in a sustainable manner using sustainable methods and materials

Non-sustainable buildings (built in the standard, non-sustainable architectural and engineering methods) of the world presently consume about:

• 40% of the world's energy and materials 
• 25% of the wood and timber 
• 20% of our water

In the U.S., homes and commercial buildings account for about: 

• 40% of the total electricity consumption 
• 65% of electricity use 
• 30% of greenhouse gas emissions 
• 37% of ozone depletion potential

According to the National American Homebuilder's Association, a typical, (non-sustainable) "stick-built" or wood-frame home was 2,085 square feet and required more than one acre of trees/forest! And the waste created during the construction of this typical home averages between 3 tons to 7 tons, for EVERY new house built!

In addition, this typical, non-sustainable home uses the following resources:

• 13,127 board feet of lumber 
• 6,212 square feet of sheathing 
• 2,085 square feet of flooring
• 14 tons of concrete
• 2,325 square feet of exterior siding 
• 3,100 square feet of roofing material
• 3,061 square feet of insulation
• 6,144 square feet of interior wall material 
• 120 linear feet of ducting
• 15 windows
• 13 kitchen cabinets and 2 other cabinets
• 1 kitchen sink
• 12 interior doors, 7 closet doors, 2 exterior doors, 1 patio door, 2 garage doors
• 1 fireplace 
• 3 toilets
• 2 bathtubs; 1 shower stall
• 3 bathroom sinks
• 68 gallons of paint and coatings

Sadly, the majority of new real estate developments (subdivisions) in United States are built on “greenfield” sites/land.  Greenfields are land that was not previously developed or built on. Every new subdivision or real estate development displaces otherwise pristine and limited natural resources in the form of forests, grasslands, farms, pastures.  

What are Green Buildings, Net Zero Energy Buildings and Net Zero Energy Houses?

“Green buildings," like our Net Zero Energy Buildings and our Net Zero Energy Houses are an environmentally-friendly way of designing, constructing, and operating homes and buildings that increases a building's performance, minimize environmental impact on our natural resources, and maximize the experience for people who work, live and play in these homes and commercial buildings.

Green buildings (Net Zero Energy Buildings and Net Zero Energy Houses) compared to Traditional "stick-built Buildings and Houses:

     *  Are Sustainable
     *  Reduce energy consumption from the electric grid and natural gas utilities
     *  Save and may actually produce more green power and energy than they consume
     *  Minimize environmental-impact
     *  Minimize waste 
     *  Reduce building materials and incorporate low-impact materials
     *  Protect the site and surrounding eco-system 
     *  Save water
     *  Are healthier to live in 
     *  Recycle existing building materials

The term "green buildings" are often used interchangeably with "sustainable," "high performance," and "healthy buildings and houses."  Eco-housing, green development, sustainable design, sustainable architecture, sustainable building solutions, 
Net Zero Energy Buildings  Net Zero Energy Houses environmentally sound housing, and green buildings are all terms and definitions that seek to achieve similar goals. The Rocky Mountain Institute, in its "Primer on Sustainable Building", flexibly describes this sustainable architecture as "taking less from the Earth and giving more to people." In practice, "green" housing varies widely. It can range from being energy efficient and using nontoxic interior finishes to being constructed of recycled materials and completely powered by Solar Energy Systems such as photovoltaic systems, solar thermal collectors that include very efficient evacuated tube collectors, and Solar Cogeneration and Solar Trigeneration power and energy systems.  

Green buildings and sustainable development practices offer an opportunity to create environmentally sound and resource-efficient buildings by using an integrated approach to design, planning and construction. Green building and sustainable development promote resource conservation of our limited natural resources which includes energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water conservation. Green building and sustainable development  considers the environmental impact on every new house or commercial building and also considers the life-cycle costs and environmental impact of the new house or commercial building for its entire "life-cycle."  Therefore. waste minimization is also an important consideration.  Ultimately,  green buildings and sustainable development practices create a healthy and comfortable building and environment; reduces operation and maintenance costs over the life-cycle of the building, conserves our limited natural resources, considers access to public transportation and other community infrastructure systems. The entire life cycle of the building and its components are considered, as well as the economic and environmental impact and performance.

 

The Audubon Center Installs Solar Trigeneration  System
Making this one of the World's First
"Net Zero Energy Buildings"
at Their New Facility in Los Angeles, California

The Solar Trigeneration  Provides All of the Building's (5000 sq.ft.)
Electricity, Air-Conditioning, Heating and Domestic Hot Water With Free Solar Power


The Sun Powers the Audubon Center's Solar Trigeneration System at Debs Park in Los Angeles. The Audubon building is one of the world's first "Net Zero Energy Buildings."
The Solar Trigeneration System Consists of a 10 Ton “Solar Absorption Cooling" System Matched with a Solar Electric Power System


Los Angeles, California

Net Zero Energy Buildings, are here! These "hybrid buildings" are green, environmentally-friendly and they produce as much energy, or more energy, than they use! They are a better, more efficient, “pollution free power” solution than traditional building technologies.  Net Zero Energy Buildings use power and energy systems like Solar Trigeneration. Solar Trigeneration provides simultaneous cooling, heating and power homes and commercial buildings practically anwhere solar energy is available. 

Solar Trigeneration is defined as the simultaneous generation of cooling, heating and power with only the free solar energy from the sun providing the "fuel". Solar Trigeneration is now a reality at the Audubon Center at Debs Park several miles from downtown Los Angeles and is one of the world's first "Net Zero Energy Buildings."

The Audubon Center is totally powered by the sun’s energy and the building operates entirely “grid-free” and without any electric connections to the electric grid, or natural gas connections – a truly sustainable power and energy solution. Best of all, the Audubon Center doesn’t rely on the over-burdened electric grid or even natural gas.  Therefore, the Audubon Center receive NO electric bills or natural gas bills to pay each month.

The Audubon CenterSolar Trigeneration system that features a 25-kilowatt solar electric power system where the energy is stored in a bank of batteries. The Center is cooled by a 10-ton solar absorption cooling system powered by an array of very efficient solar heat pipe vacuum tube thermal collectors.  The collectors heat the water to temperatures of 200+ degree F stored in a 1,200 gallon insulated tank, another type of inexpensive battery. The Solar Trigeneration system at the Audubon not only provides the air-conditioning in the summer but also heats the building in the winter, and provides the hot water for the kitchen and bathrooms. 

Absorption chillers, and cooling with solar energy with an absorption chiller are not new technologies.  In fact, absorption chiller technology is over 70 years old.  The first refrigerators were powered by propane gas to run the absorption chillers that used ammonia as a refrigerant.  Electricity and the electric compression chiller gained popularity only because of the convenient “plug and play” appliance and relatively cheap electric rates.  Electricity is no longer economically, or environmentally “cheap.”

Cogeneration refers to the simultaneous production of heat and power. Cogeneration plants are much more efficient as compared with typical power plants.  Cogeneration is usually about 55% to 70% efficient in terms of overall system efficiency, or about 200% more efficient than typical power plants.  However, cogeneration power plants are fueled by natural gas, which is a limited resource, and whose price has exploded as a result of all the new cogeneration plants that have been built and fueled by natural gas. Even in early 2001, the price of natural gas was only $2.75 - $3.25 per mmbtu. However, with all of the new cogeneration power plants, limited supply of natural gas, and the huge demand placed on natural gas for fueling the new cogeneration plants, the price of natural gas is now around $7.50 - $8.50 per mmbtu.

Solar Trigeneration is an EcoGeneration solution.  EcoGeneration refers to a power and energy system that uses the “natural” energy or fuel that is available for a specific site or location. Such energy or fuel includes, solar, wind, BioMethane, geothermal, and ocean power, including ocean tidal and ocean thermal energy conversion. For example, in the desert areas of the Southwestern U.S. , there is an abundance of solar energy. Therefore, home-owners and business owners in this part of the country should seriously consider an EcoGeneration system (“ecogen system”) that optimizes the opportunities available through solar energy

Today, the cause of the summer peak electric demand, electric supply problems, and black-outs, are the result of the energy crisis in California , primarily attributed to the air conditioning load. Over 40 percent of the electricity generated every day goes is used for air conditioning.  At this time of year, the electric utilities are forced to turn on all of their power plants to generate the “peak” demands required by the customers, primarily for air-conditioning.  This means that all of the efficient power plants, the inefficient power plants, along with all of the “peaking” power plants have to run to generate the electricity needed. The high cost of meeting the peak demand is passed on to the consumers with rates of $.20+ per kWh during the summer months.   For fixed income seniors living in desert communities, they are already forced to conserve on energy, food, water, and other necessities of life. 

Greater Demands on California’s Limited Electric Supply, Lack of New Electric Power Supplies, and This Summer’s Heat Wave are Compounding the Problem Leading to the “Perfect Electric Storm”

Many people will remember the movie “The Perfect Storm” from several years ago, when several storms came together in the northeastern part of the U.S. to produce a deadly and catastrophic “perfect” storm. Today, a different type of “perfect storm” is brewing in California . The storm that’s looming on the horizon in California is a “perfect electric storm” wherein the supply of electricity from the electric utility company’s power plants are unable to keep-up with the demand – meaning a black-out, or loss of electricity, like the black-outs from previous years, and like the northeastern black-out from 2003.

The most likely time of year for a black-out in California , unfortunately, is the summer, when air-conditioners are running at the maximum, and placing the maximum load on California ’s electricity supply.  Should such a black-out occur in the desert areas of California, where daily high temperatures routinely reach 110 degrees and higher, and where a significant percentage of the population is comprised of retired and senior citizens, and should the black-out be prolonged, a number of deaths will be the likely outcome. People, and especially the elderly, simply cannot tolerate prolonged high temperatures

How Do We Prevent the “Perfect Electric Storm” from Occurring in California and Other Regions in the U.S.?

Another major concern is how do we prevent the “Perfect Electric Storm” from happening, like the Northeast Blackout several summers ago, especially for people living in the desert?  California ’s energy authorities are warning of a possible energy crisis during the hot summer months, due to the excessive and prolonged summer temperatures where demand increases by over 40 percent.  Compounding the problem is the rising demand for electricity due to population growth and the limited transmission capacity in some areas in the region.  According to the California Energy Commission, the State must build three natural gas-fired 500-megawatt peaking power plants, every year, just to keep up with the growing demands of electricity. Failure to keep up with demand means The problem is getting worse due to the population growth in the Inland Empire , Coachella Valley and Antelope Valley. The projected power gap for the coming summers of 2006, 2007, and 2008 is very bleak.

Governor Schwarzenegger’s “Million Solar Roofs” program and the passage of the 2005 Federal Energy Act will be the foundation to create a “Perfect Solar Storm” to trigger the Solar Economy throughout California. 

With the threat of California’s seniors and elderly dying from heat exhaustion due to power outages, black-outs, rolling black-outs and the rising costs of electricity and natural gas, combined with the continuing impact of global warming, the perfect solution is to create a Solar Revolution by cooling, heating and powering the desert with solar energy and technologies like Solar Cogeneration  or Solar Trigeneration.

What is a Real Estate Master Plan?

A real estate master plan is a roadmap to the future with respect to a specific real estate location or parcel. There are many different definitions for describing a Master Plan. Real Estate Master Plan's should provide the client with:

* A detailed, short-term, medium-term and long-range plan that determines how the specific real estate parcel will provide services to the community in the coming years and plan for future growth.

* Identify all positive and negative features and attributes of the specific parcel and how it best fits into the needs and requirements of the community. 

* The economics, and feasibility of the proposed real estate master plan. 

* Address issues such as environmental, physical facilities/city services, which will be required during the coming years. i.e. water, wastewater treatment, fire, police, environmental studies/impact of subject parcel, present and future regulatory requirements, and project funding.

* Review and analyze a city's existing planning and zoning laws/regulations that impact, or may affect the specific parcel. 

A Real Estate Master Plan is a written and a schematic drawing depicting your present real estate site and any buildings and facilities, as well as parking, trees, topography, creeks/water features, overhead power lines, easements, streets, and any other environmental features, and the owner's "vision" or future plans for expansions, utilities, streets and buildings are overlaid. The plan also shows phasing of future expansion, for example: when the worship attendance reaches 400, expand the sanctuary and add classrooms. 

The Real Estate Master Plan is, as previously mentioned, a road map to the client's future and vision of the real estate, beginning with where "we" are now, where we've been, and how we achieve the desired dreams and goals of the owner. The Real Estate Master Plan includes specific recommendations, implementation strategies, and the vision of the owner with his/her/their goals and objectives. 

Why you need a Master Plan

The most important aspect of master planning is for us to professionally interpret the owner's vision and dream into a " road map" for the future for their property. Any property owner that is considering a new site should have a feasibility site study completed.

Many times, a buyer will ask us to perform a feasibility study, which is the first step to a more formal Real Estate Master Plan, and they think they have a great price on a parcel or tract. Without our expertise, the buyer may have actually overpaid for the parcel due to the environmental, planning/zoning, or other unknown variables, and in reality the buyer thinking he was getting a great bargain on 40 acres for the price of 10, was only able to use 5 acres out of the 40 acres, for a real price 60 acres! Our feasibility studies identify these hidden problems and negative attributes of specific parcels, and helps the buyer discover the true value of the site as well as its' future potential.

Every site should be planned before ANY construction begins. Our goal is to help the owner produce an economically viable and profitable project without negatively impacting the opportunities for future development. Excellent master planning avoids costly mistakes and problems in the future. 

What's involved in updating the Master Plan?

A Master Plan may be updated every five to ten years. Reasons for updating a Real Estate 
Master Plan include:

* Growth, development and changes in the size of the community.
* Requirements to expand and upgrade facilities.
* To comply with new regulations.
* To prepare for future, planned growth as well as future financial planning and budgets.

How We Create a Real Estate Master Plan

We believe that the creation of a Master Plan is a collaborative process. Depending on the size of the project, expert consultants may be required to evaluate a variety of potential technical solutions and develop recommendations. Just as importantly, a stakeholder's outreach program may be required. A stakeholder is anyone that may be positively or negatively impacted as a result of the new Master Plan. Workshops, or a number of "charette's" may be provided for stakeholders to discuss and comment on issues including local/regional planning and zoning, streets, utilities, water quality, air quality, regulatory compliance, wastewater, taxes, and city services, including police/fire/library services.

A real estate master plan can be a quick " sketch" or more formal feasibility study to help a buyer decide if a yet unpurchased piece of land is feasible. It can also be a formal, colored site plan used for presentations and fund raisers. However, a master plan is not an attempt to generate a floor plan for every future building.

How Often Should a Site be Master Planned?

A site should be reviewed before each phase of construction. Businesses, communities, ministries and zoning requirements change over time. Therefore, the long range goals of the site will also change. A master plan is nothing more than a snapshot in time of current conditions and ministries. As times change, so do goals for the site. Hence why exact buildings plans during a master plan are not feasible.

How We Develop our Real Estate Master Plans

First a topographic survey of the property is obtained. Next the overall land is analyzed with respect to streets, easements, buffers, zoning, setbacks, flood plains and natural features. The land remaining is the actual usable acreage.

A concept Sketch is first derived by assessing the long range goals of the site and the vision of the buyer/owner. The required parking and building sizes are then estimated and ready for placement on the site. Parking should typically encircle the buildings and not be to one side, aiding in exterior circulation. Interior circulation should be reviewed and building entry points determined.

Grades are reviewed for multiple story facility use. Finally, site amenities such as green space, walking trails, gazebos, playgrounds, gardens, etc. are added in the remaining areas.

The concept is then refined into the final product. Many projects use this final drawing for a marketing or fundraising tool. It is important to remember that while building masses are shown with some detail for visual character, changes to the building shape and overall layout are to expected when each phase is completed.

Conclusion

Every site should have a Real Estate Master Planned before it is purchased and before every phase of construction.

A effective Real Estate Master Plan provides for the physical, social, and economic development of a site or project that provides the highest and best use as well as meeting the local codes of the community as may be found within that community's Planning and Zoning Department. The plan is to be comprehensive and developed in the context of meeting the customer's objectives. It will include action recommendations to guide the responsible township and county agencies in the plan's implementation.

A Real Estate Master Plan is a written and a schematic drawing depicting your current site and facilities, parking, trees, etc. and showing the location of future expansions. The plan also shows phasing of future expansion, for example: when the worship attendance reaches 400, expand the sanctuary and add classrooms.

A Real Estate Master Plan permits our customers to maximize the utilization of their site, save time and money, and it gives them a tool to use for annual planning, fund raising, and raising capital, etc.

We receive many calls from clients who are now "land locked", and who may have had enough property before building, but because they did not have a Master Plan, the original building was placed in such a way on the site that additions are difficult or impossible. Also, costly demolition may have to be done in order to accommodate an addition that was not considered in a Master Plan before construction began.
