- 2. What is aGreen Building? A green building is environmentally friendly. Its is resource efficient and environmentally responsible throughout the buildings life cycle. i.e: siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and demolition.
- 3. Design features ingreen buildings. Reduces waste Reduces pollution Energy and water efficient Protects occupants health Resource efficient and responsible
- 4. Un-green Buildings Buildings likethe one on the right(dayboy bathrooms) are un-green because there is very little natural light that is let in. This means that the building uses more energy to provide sufficient light. It would be a lot better to make the windows larger to create more natural light.
- 5. Un-green Building This isun-green due to the fact these lights are shining all day unnecessarily. I would create more natural light to ensure there is enough light during the day, or you could use motion sensing lights so that they only come on when somebody is inside.
- 6. Un-green Buildings This isan un-green building site because it is not resource efficient. All the resources are being left unused. Use all the resources, even if in another area, so that there will be none left over.
- 7. Un-green buildings This featureof the building makes it un-green. This feature(air-con) makes it un- green because it uses up unnecessary energy. Using something like a fan will create a similar effect but use less energy. It will obviously be better if nor a fan or an air-con were used but sometimes these things are a necessity.
- 8. Un-green Buildings This isvery bad because it is wasting energy extremely unnecessarily. This light is on in the middle of the day when the sun was shining brightly. I suggest that a motion sensing light is put on or a light on a timer so that the light will only shine when necessary so that energy will not be wasted.
- 9. Un-green Buildings This maynot contribute harmfully to the environment but it could certainly be improved. If there was some sort of catchment at the bottom of this pipe there would not be any wastage of water which will help in conserving water. This is an example of the amount of water that is wasted.
- 10. Green Buildings This isa green building because natural material has been used to make it. This is better because using synthetic material damages the environment more than using a renewable resource(wood) will.
- 11. Green Buildings This isa green design because a natural resource has been used to make this wall. This is dry wall that has been formed in such a way that it can withstand the weight of the building. This is also a cheaper method to use and it uses resources very efficiently.
- 12. Green Buildings This isa god feature for the building to have because it uses resource very efficiently. It uses less energy than a normal light, creates the same amount of light and it also lasts for longer. This is more expensive but it is definitely worth it if you are looking at it from an energy perspective.
- 13. Green Buildings This isa very good example of natural light. The more natural light there is the less man- made light there is that needs to be used. This creates a huge energy saving and will also save a lot of money in the long run because of the energy saving.
- 14. Conclusion After going aroundthe school taking photos of green and un- green features of the school buildings. We conclude that there are more un-green features around the school but the school is moving steadily forward to become a greener place.
