The document discusses designing structures for durability as a key aspect of green building. It notes that durable design reduces maintenance needs and material replacement cycles over the lifetime of the building. Some key strategies discussed for durable design include proper site selection and drainage, creating a weather-resistant building envelope, managing interior moisture, using durable materials, and simplifying maintenance needs. The document argues that durable design can help justify higher upfront costs for green building projects through reduced lifetime costs.

Title of Thesis: The Considerations and design standards for Coastal Garden landscape "with special mention of the Egyptian experience".
Summary:
The significance of coastal garden comes from its role in enhancing the water front’s image. But most of the Egyptian coastal sites are investments, a thing that deprived users of the coast. In addition to this we find that the community’s role is absent. And in existing parks there is an insufficiency in its function. So the research focuses on the challenges that face the coastal parks’ design, highlights design standards and the considerations, finally an evaluation and recommendations for the design and monitoring process.
Diagrid structural systems
are emerging as structurally efficient as well as architecturally significant assemblies for tall buildings.
. The evolution of tall building structural systems based on new structural
concepts with newly adopted high strength materials and construction methods have been towards “stiffness” and “lightness”. Structural systems are become
“lighter” and “stiffer”.
It is common knowledge that rather than directly standing the forces,
it is better to reduce them and dissipate the magnitude of vibrations.
Structure design of high rise buildings is governed by lateral loads due to
wind or earthquake.
Lateral load resistance of structure is provided by interior structural system
or exterior structural system.
The selected structural system should be such that it should be effectively
utilized for structural requirements.
Recently diagrid structural system is adopted in tall buildings due to its
structural efficiency and flexibility in architectural planning.

Need to get an understanding of what really makes a product green? What are the criteria? What is Life Cycle Assessment? How do you understand the environmental footprint of a product? What are the materials requirements for a LEED project? Come to this workshop to get the answers to these questions.
This workshop will address the fundamentals of green materials and provide you with the knowledge to evaluate and utilize green building products to reduce your organizations environmental impacts. Topics include criteria for evaluating how green a material is, LEEDs materials requirements, how to spec for green materials and LEED, and where to find information on green products. In addition to product characteristics, methods for going from selling green, to being green will be addressed. This program is intended for architects, contractors and product manufactures, and the general public.
The presenter was Siobhan Steyn, Project Associate at The Green Roundtable.
This two-hour lecture will cover residential design features and choices that may help to conserve energy. The discussion will include building siting and orientation issues, building envelope details, glazing, shading structures & devices, thermal mass and energy-conserving landscape elements. We will also briefly discuss how interior space lay-out can affect energy efficiency.
This lecture will address the processes and tools used to determine the "greenness" of products and materials typically used in the construction process. We will begin with a brief discussion of Embodied Energy as a central factor in Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), one of the primary methods for judging a material\'s sustainability. We will then present some simple tools and techniques that allow for the practical application of these concepts to the materials selection process. Primary criteria for judging the "best in class" in specific product categories will also be discussed, as well as sources of supply. This lecture is intended as a general introduction to the green materials selection process.

This report is a joint effort of member organizations of the Child Proofing Our Communities campaign’s Healthy
Buildings Committee. Child Proofing Our Communities is a locally-based, nationally-connected campaign formed to protect children from exposures to environmental health hazards in or near public schools.
Buildings produce half of all greenhouse gases and account for one-sixth of the world's
freshwater withdrawals, one-quarter of its wood harvest and two fifths of its material and
energy flows. One in three buildings in this country, according to the USEPA, has less
than healthy indoor air quality. By several estimates, we will double the size of the built
environment over the next twenty to forty years. For these reasons there is a critical and
immediate need to shift thinking on how the built environment is designed. To reduce
environmental impact, protect public health and improve environmental equity and
justice, we must change principles for building practice. Designers in general and
architects in particular should play a high profile leadership role in this transformation.
This document is the final rebuttal, filed by the Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems and the Healthy Building Network, in response to the U.S. Green Building Council’s invitations for comments on proposed Materials Credit 9 for LEED™ Commercial Interiors. The document, consisting of five independent papers , identified as Section I-V and 4 supporting documents identifed as Attachment 1-4, specifically responds to initial position papers and rebuttals submitted by the Vinyl Institute and other parties on November 3, 2000 and November 20, 2000, respectively.

A Subversive Little Book “This is a book by people who like cities.” Thus began William H. Whyte Jr.’s introduction to a subversive little book with the polemical title The Exploding Metropolis: A Study of the Assault on Urbanism and How Our Cities Can Resist It (Editors of Fortune 1957, hereinafter cited as TEM). Drawing on a roundtable of urban experts convened by two prominent magazines, Fortune and Architectural Forum, the book in six short essays reexamined the nature of cities and city building in the postwar era. The book also defi ned future agendas for “Holly” Whyte (as he was fondly known by his friends) and fellow editor Jane Jacobs.
In his State of the Union, President Obama laid out his vision for winning the future by investing in innovative clean energy technologies and doubling the share of electricity from clean energy sources by 2035. Alongside that effort, the President is proposing new efforts to improve energy efficiency in commercial buildings across the country. –WhiteHouse.gov

Cradle to Cradle® Certification is a multi-attribute eco-label that assesses a product’s safety to humans and the environment and design for future life cycles. The program provides guidelines to help businesses implement the Cradle to Cradle framework, which focuses on using safe materials that can be disassembled and recycled as technical nutrients or composted as biological nutrients. Unlike single-attribute eco-labels, MBDC’s certification program takes a comprehensive approach to evaluating the sustainability of a product and the practices employed in manufacturing the product. The materials and manufacturing practices of each product are assessed in five categories: Material Health, Material Reutilization, Renewable Energy Use, Water Stewardship, and Social Responsibility. Click here for complete description of Certification Criteria .
Tish Tablan will deliver a presentation on the Cradle to Cradle® framework and how building professionals can use it to create more sustainable buildings. This webinar provides 1 GBCI CE for LEED Credential Maintenance.
As the flagship project for the next downtown Boston neighborhood slated for growth, Atlantic Wharf will be the city of Boston’s first LEED Gold mixed-use development. CBT Architects presents a case study on this new one million square foot project that includes approximately 65 residential units, ground-level retail and public spaces, six stories of below-grade parking, and 31 floors of office space that will bring urban activity directly to the Fort Point Channel water’s edge.
The new sustainable development is at the base of a series of restored and renovated historic structures that preserve the texture and streetscape of this site, integrated with a modern highrise glass tower. By preserving the south and east façades of the historic warehouses, using a very energy-efficient curtainwall, and employing green roof technologies, Atlantic Wharf will be the a centerpiece of Boston's green development.
