Sustainable architecture is architecture that seeks to minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings by efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy, and development space.
Sustainable architecture uses a conscious approach to energy and ecological conservation in the design of the built environment.
The idea of sustainability, or ecological design, is to ensure that our actions and decisions today do not inhibit the opportunities of future generations.
In 1979 China passed environmental protection law for trial implementation.The 1982 contitution includes important environmental provisions.Based on the provisions many laws were enacted .Water pollution prevention and control law 1984,Air pollution and control law 1987are some of the remarkable laws .
JEG Building Solutions look at some of the best energy efficient building materials on the market today. Long-term energy efficiency is essential for modern construction, to help our planet and cut our energy costs.

x Ventilation systems designed for efficient heating and cooling
x Energy-efficient lighting and appliances
x Water-saving plumbing fixtures
x Landscapes planned to maximize passive solar energy
x Minimal harm to the natural habitat
x Alternate power sources such as solar power or wind power
x Non-synthetic, non-toxic materials
x Locally-obtained woods and stone
x Responsibly-harvested woods
x Adaptive reuse of older buildings
x Use of recycled architectural salvage
x Efficient use of space1.Interaction
The relationships between construction site and architecture, green space and architecture, and also with people and form are emphasized here.
2.Form
With the new design thinking and process, concern for sustainable needs and computer aided technology, the form of architecture, or the use of building envelops may be redefined in the digital-green environment.
3.Construction:
With the aid of computer technology and 3D modelling techniques
Materials are the starting point for architectural design.An architect needs to understand the nature of materials and their possibilities and limitations before they can be used to create buildings and spaces.
It is all about sustainable buildings or green buildings and a brief study of some sustainable building materials we can use for making a building sustainable and green.
This presentation was delivered by Diaa El-Masry to a group of young people in Qatar University during summer 2014. It is a basic introduction to the Green concepts and how can we help ourselves by being more environmental friendly!

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
9. HISTORY
The 1st ever incinerator was built in 1874.
Incineration is a thermal waste treatment process involving combustion of organics in
waste materials. Incineration of waste materials converts the waste into ash, flue gas,
and heat. The flue gases must be filtered/cleaned of gaseous and particulate
pollutants before they are discharged into the atmosphere.
10.
11. LANDFILLS
• Disposal of waste in a
landfill involves
burying the waste
and this remains a
common practice in
most countries.
Landfills were often
established in
abandoned or
unused quarries,
mining voids or
borrow pits.
12. INCINERATION
• Incineration is a waste treatment process
that involves the combustion of organic
substances contained in waste materials.
• Dioxins, Furans and PAH
13.
14. FUTURE WASTE MANAGEMENT
• Pyrolysis is a thermochemical decomposition of
organic material at elevated temperatures in the
absence of oxygen (or any halogen). It involves
the simultaneous change of chemical
composition and physical phase, and is
irreversible.
16. PREVENTION
• The most effective way to reduce waste is to not create it in
the first place.
• Making a new product requires a lot of materials and energy-
raw materials must be extracted from the earth, and the
product must be fabricated and then transported to wherever
it will be sold.
• As a result, reduction and reuse are the most effective ways
you can save natural resources, protect the environment, and
save money.
17. REDUCE AND REUSE
• Buy used clothes to building materials at specialized reuse centres
and consignment shops. Often, used items are less expensive and
just as good as new.
• Look for products that use less packaging. When manufacturers
make their products with less packaging, they use less raw material.
This reduces waste and costs. These extra savings can be passed
along to the consumer.
• Buy reusable over disposable items. Look for items that can be
reused; the little things can add up. For example, you can bring your
own silverware and cup to work, rather than using disposable
items.
• Maintain and repair products, like clothing, tires, and appliances, so
that they won't have to be thrown out and replaced as frequently.
• Borrow, rent, or share items that are used infrequently, like party
decorations, tools, or furniture.
18. RECYCLING
• Recycling is a
process to change
waste materials into
new products to
prevent waste of
potentially useful
materials
19. PRODUCTS THAT CAN BE RECYCLED
• Dry Paper
• Plastic
• Glass
• Aluminum
• Electronics
20.
21. DEFINITION
• Energy management includes planning and
operation of energy production and energy
consumption units.
• Objectives are resource conservation, climate
protection and cost savings, while the users
have permanent access to the energy they
need.
27. Pyrolysis
• Heating in absence of oxygen
• Produces high vibrations
• Changes biomass to liquid fuel when it
disintegrates
• Changes plastic to million litres of fuel
28. Heat causes the objects to vibrate faster causing
the molecules to break down. Liquid fuel is
formed.
41. • A system for carrying
people or goods from
one place to another
using vehicles, road,
etc. (Oxford Advanced
Lear er’s Dictio ar ,
2005)
42. WHY & HOW WE NEED TO PLAN?
• The transport system must meet the actual,
and not the perceived needs of commuters
• Efficient transport systems tend to use up
much land and resources, thought must be
put into proper planning to maximise usage
and minimise wastage.
43. • Observe the environmental ranking of
transportation modes.
• Relook the functions of the street.
44.
45. Intervention aimed at meeting the immediate
needs of the victims of a disastrous events.
46. HOW DO WE DO IT?
i. The government of the
day must be serious
about the preservation
of nature
ii. Preparedness in the
event of an unforeseen
disaster is an important
key to stabilising fear
and anguish in society.
iii. A system for predicting
and preparing for the
unexpected calamity
should be instituted
47.
48. DEFINITION:
Green building is the practice of creating
structures and using processes that are
environmentally responsible and resource-
efficient throughout a building's life-cycle
from siting to design, construction, operation,
maintenance, renovation and deconstruction.
49. What makes up a green building?
has to meet LEED certification (Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design) - an international
certification system for green buildings.
Good and proper air ventilation
Abundant natural light
Access to views and noise control so that these
buildings will be a better and comfortable place to be
in
Energy efficiency and Renewable energy
Water efficiency and proper waste management
Environmental preferable building materials and
specifications
50. Example of a green building
• Menara Mesiniaga by Malaysian
architect Ken Yeang
– to benefit the natural sunlight form all
directions into the building
– The trussed steel + aluminum sunroof
also incorporates solar panels
– Has good ventilation as all the office floor
terraces have sliding doors.
51. • Photovoltaic roofing with solar panel
• Eco-friendly materials such as PVC-free linoleum and water-
based paints will be used throughout the construction of a
building
Proposal of our future city's green building

52. • Building materials : Built-up walls with distributed insulation:
Load-bearing clay bricks, cellular concrete bricks and lightweight concrete
blocks
• Recuperation and use of rain water
– eg: green roofs, which not only store rain water, but also provide a
green oasis in an urban environment
53. CONCLUSION
A Smarter City is a Greener and Liveable City
• by knowing why and how to plan for our city
we would have the ownership of a smarter
city. All we need is to constantly upgrade and
improve on the features using technology for
a better city.
