to deliver high performance GREEN buildings at no additional cost using
LEAN Project Delivery. The math is simple; Lean Project Delivery can
deliver capital cost saving of 20% to 40% which is considerably more
that the 10% premium needed to deliver a NetZero building.
The goal of this Lean to be Green initiative is to raise awareness
about the opportunity to create a truly lean and green building industry
with a NetZero energy target for all new building by the year 2020.
The potential impact is huge as the building industry currently
wastes at least $120 Billion per year in North America alone [1] and is
the source for 35% of all green house gas emissions. The building
industry needs to be held accountable for the eminent catastrophic
climate change disaster that will occur if we don’t significantly ramp
up efforts to solve this problem.

Lean pays for Green is a strategy that could shift the building industry to a NetZero energy standard!
