| 10 Sustainability Predictions for 2010 |
|
| Increasing Energy Awareness
According to Information Management, energy conservation and sustainability are expected to show signs of significant growth in the coming year. Val Haskell, director of Environmental Sustainability Solutions at Hitachi Consulting, lists her predictions for energy in 2010:
- Energy management increasing as a priority.
- LEED evolves.
- Public-private partnerships will build out the new transmission networks for wind and solar energy to take the engery generated in remote locations and transport it to the metropolitan areas.
- Battery technology will enter into the equivalent of the space race between the U.S. and Russia back in the 1960's.
- New regualtions, Wal-Mart's Sustainability Index, and the Obama's Environmental Executive Order drive wide-scale adoption of carbon reporting and carbon costs become part of financial reporting.
- Climate change will become a high-profile security issue and its implications to coastal areas, food supply, and severe weather will be part of military preparedness.
- Public infrastructure upgrades to green.
- Water becomes a headline act in 2010.
- Agribusiness' focus will be food for 9 billion people.
- Cities jockey for green positioning.

International Green Construction Code (IGCC) Scheduled for release in March of 2010, the first draft of the International Green Construction Code's (IGCC) primary focus is developing green construction practices and sustainable design for all commerical building types.
The renewed interest in further developing the code comes from the international push for green products and sustainability, the demands from rating systems such as LEED, and the recognition that states and jurisdictions would soon need to draft their own sustainability codes.
The Sustainable Building Technology Committee (SBTC) believes the new green code will:
- Be progressive and forward looking in scope
- Offer the flexibility to account for varying local and regional conditions such as energy resources
- Be consistent and coordinated with the ICC family codes and standards
- Apply to traditional and high performance buildings
- Provide criteria to measure compliance

 Servidyne Knows How
Do you know what your building's carbon footprint is?
If not, it's time you do.
In order to develop a program that maximizes energy savings and reduces your buildings carbon foot print, you need to start with a Servidyne Energy Audit.
An Energy Audit is one of the most important steps in the program development process. Energy audits provide building owners with an updated road-map of their asset infrastructure and energy usage and costs. Audits let you know where you are today, and what you can do to realize a better tomorrow.
The time to act is now!
Contact Servidyne today to build a more sustainable tomorrow.
