Concept Overview:
Lifestyle changes are important but they need tobe supported by more quantiable aspects, such as
energy use in a home and the embodied energy ofthe built materials.
Changing the layout of a home can potentially shifta users habits, but it is not guaranteed. If successful,lifestyle changes can have a greater reduction in im-pact. However, changes to the materials of the house
are more assured to reduce the impact.

Better insulation
Double glaze
windows
Use sustainable or recycled
materials (recycled jeans
or carpets, dont use steel)
Smaller houses and
fewer special-function
rooms
Better insulation
mechanics (electrical,
water heating)
Capture suns heat
(passive - windows)
Convert suns heat into
electricity (active - solar panels)
NYSERDA funds
training for green-collared jobs
I m studying at Hudson Valley
Community College to become
a building analyst.
Ill study new technologicalstandards for innovative
green building programs.
Interest in green building
is driven by consumers
More people are doing
it to save money on their
heating bills
99 homes last year to at least
564 this yearImprove existing structures or
start from scratch
Existing homes are going green, too: 68%
of people surveyed by USA TODAY took
steps this year to make their homes more
said it was "mostly to save money" and
26% "mostly to save the environment."

Base Case:A family of four each
taking 20 minute showersonce a day will use over
8 million gallons ofwaterover a 50 yeartime period.
20 Minutes
After energy use, vinyl sidinghas the greatest impact ofall other built materials.
7/31/2019 MI Final Presentation
11/16
Behavioral Changes:5 minutesIf a family of four
reduces their showers to5 minutes each, they will
use just a little over1 million gallons ofwater overa 50 year
time period.
By taking down theparting wall and creating
one shared bathroom,inhabitants might takeshorter showers out ofcourtesy to theirneighbors.
Sustainable Minds canmodel the effects of abehavioral change but nothow the change occurs.

The Siding in the Grass:
We suspect that otherexterior treatments mayhave an even greater
reduction in impact, whileproviding benets.
In Sustainable Minds, wood sidingsimpact was onyl marginally lower
than vinyl siding.

Whatis yoursiding
worth?Over the lifetime of your house,the vinyl siding alone creates 6850 lbs of CO2
That is like watching 2.5 hours of T.V.
a day for 50 years

Future Studies:
The material components of a green wallcould be modeled in Sustainable Mindsbut would not account for some benets
Based on College of Architecture and Urban
Planning, University of Washington
Building

Another optiwould be to mo
Fiber Cement S
We speculate that a greewall may add environmenta
benets, such as improvin
air quality and reduction oheating through increaseinsulation of the house
There may also be sociabenets, which cannot bmeasured in Sustainab
