Post Disaster Shelter and Energy Efficiency: A Scoping ProAct Network and WWF/US Kelly Adele Billups Margaret Ledyard-Marks Anita Van Breda Jennifer Pepson Background Significant effort and funds are put into shelter after disaster Many shelter issues relate to energy Existing options to improve shelter energy efficiency The challenge in rebuilding quickly doesn’t allow designers, managers or beneficiaries identify and incorporate energy efficiency into post disaster shelter Working group under the Environment Community of Practice, Global Shelter Cluster A Scoping Exercise To identify current best practice and guidance on energy efficient construction, including the production, sourcing, transport, stockpiling and use of construction materials and methods It is only a scoping – expect and welcome additional information and inputs The Presentation: Introduction Energy Efficiency – Approaches and Experience – Margaret Ledyard-Marks Life Cycle Analysis – Adele Billups Questions, Comments, Next steps Energy Efficiency – Approaches and Experience Margaret Ledyard-Marks What We Know EE is mostly a byproduct of post-disaster shelter construction and not a primary goal No/low cost techniques to achieve energy efficient shelter Earthen walls with lime base in lieu of concrete Increase thermal mass and roof overhangs Build efficient brick kilns Context-sensitive Partnerships with local NGOs and organizations with a focus on energy efficiency generally leads to long-term savings, ex: DFID shelter program in Pakistan IFRC developing a tool on energy consumption and demand/supply What We Don’t Know A better understanding of the tradeoffs Following BREEAM or LEED criteria? EE building orientation vs organic community structure Case studies to demonstrate EE can be practical in post-disaster shelter Materials, logistics, transportation costs, etc. Standardized approach/methodology for construction Funding – we have tools but we don’t know if they are justified on a cost basis. Future Action/Recommendations List of experts in energy efficient post-disaster shelter practices and theory Magnus Wolfe Murray, Jim Kennedy, and others…. Adapting EE tools and techniques to specific post-disaster situations – suggestions from surveys “Cheat Sheets” for different EE techniques to incorporate into post-disaster shelter construction Lists of suggested EE materials by region More research on appropriate materials and methods by region (ex: Kyrgyzstan different from Sri Lanka) Life Cycle Analysis Adele Billups What We Know Life Cycle Analysis (LCA): Used for: environmental regulations, green building standards, retrofitting, energy efficiency (ISO 2012). LCA databases: U.S. Life Cycle Inventory Database, The Inventory of Carbon & Energy (ICE),1 (ISO/TC 207) database collaborating with CEN/TC 350)2 Tools/Models to calculate embodied energy
