8. SUSTAINABILITY
WHAT IT MEANS AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT
If something is sustainable it is able to be maintained and
continually work for a long period of time. Sustainability is
important because if we weren’t sustainable then we would run out
of resources and wouldn’t be able to function properly. Our
buildings are sustainable because we have built the from materials
which can be found easily and will not run out soon. We have also
included solar panels and water tanks so that we have sustainable
and environmentally-friendly energy and water use.
9. ASPECTS OF A SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
The first thing that I am including in my design is two water tanks. I am adding
these tanks so when it rains the tanks will catch most of the water. I am also having
a underground watering system to water the plants trees. I also have a water feature
that is in the middle of my design that will need water to flow through, so by
installing two water tanks I can use one of the tanks for the water feature which will
function through recycling water and the other tank can be used for the garden.
The second piece that is in my design is a solar panels. I am adding solar panels will
help my design to be environmentally friendly by collecting heat from the sun to run
my building. With putting in solar panels it will reduce the electricity bills and be
environmentally friendly. It will also demonstrate to the community how to reduce
electricity costs and an example of how to be environmentally friendly.
The final piece that I am adding are some native trees and plants. By having native
trees in my design it will help save water because they will be accustomed to the
climate and not need as much water as other trees. It will also promote other people
to use native plants as they will see how they naturally work in their chosen
environment. Supporting native plants creates a healthy relationship with the
environment and will attract the native birds and animals.
