The Buildings of the Future are Zero Carbon | Thomas Mueller | TEDxMcGill

it is bright up you so how’s everybody

it is bright up you so how’s everybody doing this was a very powerful

doing this was a very powerful

doing this was a very powerful presentation right you can see no

presentation right you can see no

presentation right you can see no important sustainability and climate

important sustainability and climate

important sustainability and climate change and all the other things that

change and all the other things that

change and all the other things that when we talk about sustainability really

when we talk about sustainability really

when we talk about sustainability really affect us I wanted to talk to you about

affect us I wanted to talk to you about

affect us I wanted to talk to you about and kind of closing the session today I

and kind of closing the session today I

and kind of closing the session today I wanted to talk to you about one of the

wanted to talk to you about one of the

wanted to talk to you about one of the biggest challenge that humankind is

biggest challenge that humankind is

biggest challenge that humankind is facing over the next few generations is

facing over the next few generations is

facing over the next few generations is climate change in the role our buildings

climate change in the role our buildings

climate change in the role our buildings now community is actually playing in

now community is actually playing in

now community is actually playing in helping us we refashion in redesign our

helping us we refashion in redesign our

helping us we refashion in redesign our cities our buildings and then also

cities our buildings and then also

cities our buildings and then also Medicaid and how communities that are

Medicaid and how communities that are

Medicaid and how communities that are more resilient for climate change this

more resilient for climate change this

more resilient for climate change this is working yes what I want to talk to

is working yes what I want to talk to

is working yes what I want to talk to you particularly about is the role of

you particularly about is the role of

you particularly about is the role of zero carbon buildings of buildings they

zero carbon buildings of buildings they

zero carbon buildings of buildings they will not emit greenhouse gas emissions

and why is that important so this is a

and why is that important so this is a chart from environmental climate change

chart from environmental climate change

chart from environmental climate change and that shows the carbon emissions of

and that shows the carbon emissions of

and that shows the carbon emissions of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada so we

greenhouse gas emissions in Canada so we

greenhouse gas emissions in Canada so we see their species in areas that can

see their species in areas that can

see their species in areas that can depict on how our greenhouse gas

depict on how our greenhouse gas

depict on how our greenhouse gas emissions will but we look like five 10

emissions will but we look like five 10

emissions will but we look like five 10 15 years from a leading up to 2030 in

15 years from a leading up to 2030 in

15 years from a leading up to 2030 in none of those curves the climate change

none of those curves the climate change

none of those curves the climate change emissions

emissions

emissions that the continued go up and then he see

that the continued go up and then he see

that the continued go up and then he see two dots you see one dot it’s mainly 20

two dots you see one dot it’s mainly 20

two dots you see one dot it’s mainly 20 in his he wanted a twenty thirty that’s

in his he wanted a twenty thirty that’s

in his he wanted a twenty thirty that’s where we need to go

where we need to go

where we need to go but if certainly not the direction

but if certainly not the direction

but if certainly not the direction you’re going into right now and so the

you’re going into right now and so the

you’re going into right now and so the question is what would it take to bend

question is what would it take to bend

question is what would it take to bend this curve down because we do a lot of

this curve down because we do a lot of

this curve down because we do a lot of talking we do a lot of planning but this

talking we do a lot of planning but this

talking we do a lot of planning but this curve like the curve in so many other

curve like the curve in so many other

curve like the curve in so many other countries along across the world is my

countries along across the world is my

countries along across the world is my twenty dollars continue to go up and an

twenty dollars continue to go up and an

twenty dollars continue to go up and an individual called s Madrid Masseria some

individual called s Madrid Masseria some

individual called s Madrid Masseria some time ago I create what’s called the DA

time ago I create what’s called the DA

time ago I create what’s called the DA the twenty thirty challenge as an

the twenty thirty challenge as an

the twenty thirty challenge as an architect and he basically I’m still

architect and he basically I’m still

architect and he basically I’m still working on a approach and shows how we

working on a approach and shows how we

working on a approach and shows how we need to design buildings to step down

need to design buildings to step down

need to design buildings to step down but he causes carbon neutral buildings I

but he causes carbon neutral buildings I

but he causes carbon neutral buildings I call it zero killings a place that only

buildings how what we need to do in

buildings how what we need to do in terms of improving energy efficiency

terms of improving energy efficiency

terms of improving energy efficiency renewable energy and how we gonna get

renewable energy and how we gonna get

renewable energy and how we gonna get rid of fossil fuels over time well you

rid of fossil fuels over time well you

rid of fossil fuels over time well you see a red says today that was in 2015

see a red says today that was in 2015

see a red says today that was in 2015 and today’s 2017 I can start not saying

and today’s 2017 I can start not saying

and today’s 2017 I can start not saying that we’re designing our buildings to be

that we’re designing our buildings to be

that we’re designing our buildings to be seventy percent more efficient than when

seventy percent more efficient than when

seventy percent more efficient than when we were in 2005 or before so we’re

we were in 2005 or before so we’re

we were in 2005 or before so we’re clearly not keeping up with the things

clearly not keeping up with the things

clearly not keeping up with the things that we need to do which means that you

that we need to do which means that you

that we need to do which means that you have to start being more radical you

have to start being more radical you

have to start being more radical you need to be way more radical about and

need to be way more radical about and

need to be way more radical about and more destructive about that what’s what

more destructive about that what’s what

more destructive about that what’s what is it what is it is gonna get us to this

is it what is it is gonna get us to this

is it what is it is gonna get us to this kind of low carbon zero carbon future

we actually need to change our language

we actually need to change our language and our language right now is when me

and our language right now is when me

meaningless carbon unfortunately

meaningless carbon unfortunately unfortunately that’s not necessarily the

unfortunately that’s not necessarily the

unfortunately that’s not necessarily the case so one example to illustrate that

case so one example to illustrate that

case so one example to illustrate that is if you have two buildings that are

is if you have two buildings that are

is if you have two buildings that are identical you have the same level of

identical you have the same level of

identical you have the same level of energy efficiency exactly the same one

energy efficiency exactly the same one

energy efficiency exactly the same one is it is of natural gas which is a

is it is of natural gas which is a

is it is of natural gas which is a fossil fuel and the other one is heated

fossil fuel and the other one is heated

fossil fuel and the other one is heated with electricity so the entire building

with electricity so the entire building

with electricity so the entire building is wrong as electricity LED lighted

is wrong as electricity LED lighted

is wrong as electricity LED lighted everything in the oven with natural gas

everything in the oven with natural gas

everything in the oven with natural gas and I explicitly comes here in Quebec we

and I explicitly comes here in Quebec we have very clean hydropower it’s 95%

have very clean hydropower it’s 95%

have very clean hydropower it’s 95% carbon free the building with the

carbon free the building with the

carbon free the building with the National calcium is 36 times as much

National calcium is 36 times as much

National calcium is 36 times as much carbon emissions than the one that you

carbon emissions than the one that you

carbon emissions than the one that you power the clean energy source so that

power the clean energy source so that

power the clean energy source so that really plays a big role and how we now

really plays a big role and how we now

really plays a big role and how we now moving forward designing or building a

moving forward designing or building a

moving forward designing or building a retrofit about building energy

retrofit about building energy

retrofit about building energy efficiency is not enough we need to

efficiency is not enough we need to

efficiency is not enough we need to speak the language of carbon and we feel

speak the language of carbon and we feel

speak the language of carbon and we feel that this is very disruptive or maybe is

that this is very disruptive or maybe is

that this is very disruptive or maybe is not as destructive as we think because a

10 up countries 10 other councils in the

10 up countries 10 other councils in the world are working on the same thing as

world are working on the same thing as

world are working on the same thing as we speak actually Australia just

we speak actually Australia just

we speak actually Australia just launched this carbon standard with them

launched this carbon standard with them in concert with its federal government

in concert with its federal government

in concert with its federal government as a standard that Australia spires to

as a standard that Australia spires to

as a standard that Australia spires to so this is happening all over the world

so this is happening all over the world

so this is happening all over the world in Canada is a

in Canada is a

in Canada is a innovator in this space and moving this

innovator in this space and moving this

innovator in this space and moving this initiative forward zero carbon buildings

initiative forward zero carbon buildings

initiative forward zero carbon buildings so what is your

so what is your

so what is your so again it is a mixture between energy

so again it is a mixture between energy

so again it is a mixture between energy efficiency you need energy efficiency

efficiency you need energy efficiency

efficiency you need energy efficiency because you cannot supply a sufficient

because you cannot supply a sufficient

because you cannot supply a sufficient amount of local energy if your building

amount of local energy if your building

amount of local energy if your building is very inefficient renewable energy is

is very inefficient renewable energy is

is very inefficient renewable energy is not like fossil fuel when you need more

not like fossil fuel when you need more

not like fossil fuel when you need more you burn more it’s not like that so we

you burn more it’s not like that so we

you burn more it’s not like that so we need a balance between energy efficiency

need a balance between energy efficiency

need a balance between energy efficiency and then you need to find a way to use

and then you need to find a way to use

and then you need to find a way to use renewable energy other renewable energy

renewable energy other renewable energy

renewable energy other renewable energy in hydro solar wind sometimes you can

in hydro solar wind sometimes you can

in hydro solar wind sometimes you can take energy and heat from from the

take energy and heat from from the

take energy and heat from from the ground and you need to use that energy

ground and you need to use that energy

ground and you need to use that energy then you replace any of the fossil fuels

then you replace any of the fossil fuels

then you replace any of the fossil fuels that are using in that program and there

that are using in that program and there

that are using in that program and there are really four strategies here they’ll

are really four strategies here they’ll

are really four strategies here they’ll be looking at one is zero carbon balance

be looking at one is zero carbon balance

be looking at one is zero carbon balance the next one is efficiency the third one

the next one is efficiency the third one

the next one is efficiency the third one is renewable energy and the fourth one

is renewable energy and the fourth one

is renewable energy and the fourth one is no carbon materials so what I quickly

is no carbon materials so what I quickly

is no carbon materials so what I quickly talk to you about those four areas to

talk to you about those four areas to

talk to you about those four areas to really frame your thinking now has to be

really frame your thinking now has to be

really frame your thinking now has to be collectively what’s your carbon billing

collectively what’s your carbon billing

collectively what’s your carbon billing is actually going to look like so a zero

is actually going to look like so a zero

is actually going to look like so a zero carbon balances we really need to have a

carbon balances we really need to have a

carbon balances we really need to have a zero carbon balance in terms of

zero carbon balance in terms of

zero carbon balance in terms of operating ability over the course of

operating ability over the course of

operating ability over the course of entire year so you cannot just stop to

entire year so you cannot just stop to

entire year so you cannot just stop to take one month or one week because you

take one month or one week because you

take one month or one week because you like a heater balance depending on the

like a heater balance depending on the

like a heater balance depending on the seasons on the winter you have the

seasons on the winter you have the

seasons on the winter you have the lights on more often in the summer you

lights on more often in the summer you

lights on more often in the summer you put your cooling on particular Montreal

put your cooling on particular Montreal

put your cooling on particular Montreal and so on so you really need to look

and so on so you really need to look

and so on so you really need to look over the course of the year there might

over the course of the year there might

over the course of the year there might be times during the year when you

be times during the year when you

be times during the year when you actually rely on fossil fuel the heat

actually rely on fossil fuel the heat

actually rely on fossil fuel the heat you’re building yourself just so much

you’re building yourself just so much

you’re building yourself just so much demand well you need to make sure that

demand well you need to make sure that

demand well you need to make sure that it

it

it the year you have zero so it’s a it’s an

the year you have zero so it’s a it’s an

the year you have zero so it’s a it’s an annual process that you need to look at

annual process that you need to look at

annual process that you need to look at so you need something balanced across

so you need something balanced across

so you need something balanced across the year the second one is efficiency

the year the second one is efficiency

the year the second one is efficiency and efficiency really focuses in several

and efficiency really focuses in several

and efficiency really focuses in several companies from two things is you need

companies from two things is you need

companies from two things is you need what we call the building envelope the

what we call the building envelope the

what we call the building envelope the building envelope is the walls the

building envelope is the walls the

building envelope is the walls the windows the roofs they need to be highly

windows the roofs they need to be highly

windows the roofs they need to be highly highly efficient do you need to be super

highly efficient do you need to be super

highly efficient do you need to be super efficient super insulated what that does

efficient super insulated what that does

efficient super insulated what that does is it keeps the heat in or it keeps the

is it keeps the heat in or it keeps the

is it keeps the heat in or it keeps the cold out depending again on time of the

cold out depending again on time of the

cold out depending again on time of the year but you need a very efficient

year but you need a very efficient

year but you need a very efficient envelope and then you need to have very

envelope and then you need to have very

envelope and then you need to have very efficient ventilation so you really need

efficient ventilation so you really need

efficient ventilation so you really need to control like how much air comes in

to control like how much air comes in

to control like how much air comes in and how much air goes out initially here

and how much air goes out initially here

and how much air goes out initially here that goes out the warm air that was out

that goes out the warm air that was out

that goes out the warm air that was out I want the cool air coming in so you

I want the cool air coming in so you

I want the cool air coming in so you have systems and technologies that are

have systems and technologies that are

have systems and technologies that are really starting to play it’s not just

really starting to play it’s not just

really starting to play it’s not just you know the envelope but also the

you know the envelope but also the

you know the envelope but also the equipment that you use in a building to

equipment that you use in a building to

really get to very high levels of energy

really get to very high levels of energy efficiency and that’s really the basis

efficiency and that’s really the basis

efficiency and that’s really the basis because what I said before you need

because what I said before you need

because what I said before you need these high levels of energy efficiency

these high levels of energy efficiency

these high levels of energy efficiency then to make up and replace the

well not necessarily because of office

well not necessarily because of office buildings are actually very small

buildings are actually very small

buildings are actually very small footprint in a very tall and they

footprint in a very tall and they

footprint in a very tall and they consume a lot of energy but you would

consume a lot of energy but you would

consume a lot of energy but you would only have a small roof space to put your

only have a small roof space to put your

only have a small roof space to put your soul on to power their building general

lighting maybe heat during the day so

lighting maybe heat during the day so renewable energy is the solution we need

renewable energy is the solution we need

renewable energy is the solution we need to look beyond just the building side

to look beyond just the building side

to look beyond just the building side into purchases of clean energy renewable
