Environmental Valuation & Cost-Benefit News
Environmental Valuation & Cost Benefit News covers legal, academic, and regulatory developments pertaining to the valuation of environmental amenities and disamenities, such as clean air, trees, parks, congestion, and noise. We apprise the reader about ways in which costs and benefits are measured, and the results of empirical studies. We hope that this information will allow public and private organizations to comprehend the risks and benefits of various actions, help disputants to resolve conflicts equitably and efficiently, and improve the quality of public policies. We will only discuss issues related to the empirical quantification of private and social costs and benefits and damages, and summarize information from daily newspapers, academic journals, legal publications, court decisions, professional newsletters commissioned studies, and on-line services. This newsletter is dedicated to the principle that all policies place values upon life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We believe that more information, explicit specification of assumptions, and rigorous analysis can help our society to better meet these ends. This site will increasingly serve, in conjunction with others, as a valuation database. We will include a wide range of studies, including non-environmental reports, because omission of a factor effectively values it at zero, and biases decisions. Heavy traffic has caused several site crashes. We are attempting to correct these problems. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Featuring: Presentation of the Green Building Market & Impact Report 2009 by Robert Watson, GreenerBuildings.com Executive Editor and

A Practical Perspective on the Role of Industry in Leading Positive Environmental Change in Today’s Commercial Facilities by Ed Lonergan, President & CEO, JohnsonDiversey

November 5, 2009 at 12:30 PM EST

Event Overview:
60 minute free webinar to hear a first-hand presentation and analysis of the second edition of the Green Building Market & Impact Report by the report’s author Robert Watson, GreenerBuildings.com Editor, industry leader and LEED “founding father.” This report is an integrated assessment of the land, water, energy, material and indoor environmental impacts of the LEED for New Construction (LEED NC), Core & Shell (LEED CS) and Existing Building (LEED EB) standards.

JohnsonDiversey President & CEO Ed Lonergan will also highlight the importance of sustainability in today’s business environment, offering insights and examples of the company’s work toward improving the sustainability of its customers’ facilities as well as its own. JohnsonDiversey continues to lead its industry in providing products and solutions that help its customers make their own facilities, cleaner, healthier and more sustainable. And, this presentation will detail JohnsonDiversey’s own focus on LEED certification for many of its facilities worldwide.

The Green Building Market & Impact Report 2009 attempts to answer whether commercial green buildings live up to their name — that is, that they are engendering demonstrable environmental improvement. The findings are both encouraging and cautionary. Overall, LEED buildings are making a major impact in reducing the overall environmental footprint of individual structures. However, significant additional progress is possible and indeed necessary on both the individual building level and in terms of market penetration if LEED is to contribute in a meaningful way to reducing the environmental footprint of buildings in the U.S. and worldwide.

Findings from this landmark survey include:
* LEED 2009 & Global Green Building Market Trends
* Worldwide impacts of LEED on
o LEED Market Trends
o Land Use Impacts
o Water Efficiency Impacts
o Energy Impacts
o Materials Impacts
o Indoor Environmental Quality
o And more…

All registrants get access to a downloadable version of the Green Building Market & Impact Report 2009.
