Satellite Housing is a nonprofit organization that develops, manages, and provides supportive services for 21 affordable housing communities in the Bay Area. It has several green initiatives to promote sustainable and environmentally friendly affordable housing. These initiatives include using eco-friendly construction for new developments, improving energy efficiency in existing buildings, encouraging public transportation usage, and educating residents and staff on green living practices. Two of its housing communities, Helios Corner and Acalanes Court, generate solar energy and exceed California's energy efficiency standards. Satellite Housing also operates a green fleet, office, and engages in other green activities and education programs while facing challenges in fully implementing green practices for affordable multifamily housing developments.
The document discusses green building standards and LEED certification in Mexico. It notes that LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the most widely used green building rating system globally.

The document discusses a zero energy building design competition entry that proposes a closed-loop design approach integrating aquaponics. The design proposes growing food on building facades using an automated watering system, with fish waste providing nutrients to the plants. The fish would be housed in a roof pond covered with solar panels, providing cooling to the building while also generating income. The overall goal is for the building to function as a large aquaponic system that meets energy, food, and economic needs through a sustainable closed-loop model.

Memorandum To Daniel D. McLean, Chief Operating Officer .docxandreecapon
Memorandum
To: Daniel D. McLean, Chief Operating Officer
From: Ryan-Kirk Bautista, Chief Engineer
Date: March 4, 2014
RE: Sustainability Initiative Recommendations
I am respectfully submitting this memorandum to the members of the Board of Directors for
purposes of recommending concerns regarding the subject. The report addresses the following:
(a) range of sustainability options for our hotel; (b) our industry leaders and their efforts; and (c)
recommendations pertaining to feasible approaches.
RANGE OF SUSTAINABILITY OPTIONS
Comprehensive Recycling
The first step to achieving a higher long-term value of our property is to recycle. Statistically,
recycling is noticed by customers more than any other green initiative. This would reduce our
waste hauling expenses, increases employee and customer loyalty, as well as obtain a higher
level of competitive advantage.1 This can be done through a new recycling initiative across all
three boards of the property: administrative, public, and service areas. By including separated
bins in guest rooms, offices, public areas, and meeting rooms, all three areas of our building that
require a significant improvement at a long-term low-cost are covered. A few of the many
products include: paper materials used for on-property marketing, plastic bathroom amenities,
and used light bulbs. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has launched a
Recycling Recognition Program that has been developed to record and recognize recycling
efforts across the state. This avenue would be wise to explore considering the public relations
and social responsibility if we would like to explore that avenue.
Reducing Energy Use
The entire property can benefit from a more energy-efficient approach with lighting and
occupancy sensors. Options in respect to lighting include changing to ENERGY STAR efficient
light bulbs which are found to use 75% less energy and heat than our current incandescent light
bulbs and lasts about ten times longer.2 Alternatively, by switching to new LED lighting from
GE, the Las Vegas Sands Corp. has saved nearly 4.1 million kilowatt hours of electricity a year.3
We may implement this throughout the entire property in all facilities to greater reduce our
energy use and overall costs. We may take a cost-effective approach and replace and recycle our
old light bulbs progressively throughout the entire property. As more codes are becoming more
stringent, the implementation of occupancy sensors would be another great way to reduce the
amount of energy we use in unoccupied rooms. Rooms are often unoccupied by guests or
associates and lights are left turned on leaving the responsibility to others. Being open 24 hours,
installing these in conference, office, and storage rooms would be a step towards adding another
LEED certified change to our facility.

Business Case for Green Development in Middle EastJerry Yudelson
Green building is an important solution for reducing carbon emissions, as buildings account for 25% of total carbon emissions. Choosing green building options provides benefits across financial returns, environmental impacts, and social benefits. There is a growing body of evidence that shows green buildings deliver lower energy costs, higher productivity, and increased property values. As the global building stock undergoes significant renovations in the coming decades, green building certification and standards will increasingly add financial and marketing value for buildings and companies.
Devanahalli Embracing Sustainable Living in a Thriving Hub.pdfpoojalate59
Devanahalli, once known primarily for its airport, has blossomed into a vibrant residential hub in North Bangalore. But beyond its modern amenities and infrastructure, Devanahalli is increasingly attracting eco-conscious homebuyers seeking a sustainable living environment. Here's how Devanahalli is embracing sustainability and why it might be the perfect place for you to establish a greener lifestyle:
Sustainable Infrastructure:
Green Building Certification: Several residential projects in Devanahalli are pursuing green building certifications like LEED or IGBC. These certifications ensure adherence to eco-friendly construction practices, including water harvesting, energy-efficient lighting and appliances, and responsible waste management.
Smart Homes: The integration of smart home technologies allows residents to monitor and optimize their energy consumption. Features like automated lighting, smart irrigation systems, and efficient heating and cooling systems can significantly reduce a household's environmental footprint.
Focus on Renewable Energy: Some forward-thinking developers are exploring renewable energy sources like solar panels to power common areas or even individual residences. This reduces reliance on conventional energy sources and lowers the overall carbon footprint of the community.
Promoting Eco-Conscious Living:
Walkability and Cycling Paths: Many new developments in Devanahalli are prioritizing walkable and cycling-friendly infrastructure. This not only encourages a healthy lifestyle but also reduces dependence on personal vehicles, leading to lower emissions.
Waste Management Initiatives: Eco-conscious projects implement effective waste management practices, including segregation at source, composting organic waste, and responsible disposal of e-waste and recyclables. This minimizes landfill waste and promotes a circular economy.
Greener Spaces and Water Conservation: Modern residential projects prioritize landscaping with native and drought-tolerant plants, reducing water requirements. Additionally, rainwater harvesting systems are being implemented to conserve water resources.
Living the Sustainable Life: Devanahalli's embrace of sustainable practices extends beyond project features. Here's how you can contribute to a greener lifestyle in your new home:
Energy Efficiency: Utilize energy-efficient appliances, switch to LED lighting, and practice responsible water usage.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Embrace a minimalist lifestyle, upcycle old items, and diligently segregate waste for recycling.
Embrace Green Transportation: Opt for cycling or walking for short commutes, carpool with neighbors, or utilize public transportation whenever possible.
Conclusion:
Devanahalli offers a unique opportunity to combine modern living with a commitment to sustainability. With its focus on green infrastructure, eco-conscious development practices, and a growing community of environmentally aware residents, Devanahalli is shaping up to b
