This document discusses green roofs, which are engineered lightweight roofing systems that support plant life installed on top of structures. Green roofs provide benefits like reducing stormwater runoff, mitigating the urban heat island effect, and improving air quality. There are two main types - intensive green roofs which are like roof top gardens with thick growth media and vegetation but higher costs, and extensive green roofs which are thinner and lighter like sod roofs and have lower costs and maintenance needs. Installing a successful green roof requires a team approach involving various professionals.

Review of green building march 2011
Green building aims to minimize waste, conserve resources, and improve indoor air quality through practices like waste management, energy efficiency, and using local, sustainable materials. It focuses on five objectives: waste management, conservation, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and community connectivity. Green building has grown since the 1950s, as home sizes and waste generation have increased while natural resources and old growth forests have decreased. Building green can help address these issues through techniques like recycling construction waste, using renewable materials, and implementing water and energy efficiency strategies.

Ebd sample energy audit report with detailed scope
The home energy audit identified several issues contributing to energy loss and inefficient performance at the Williams residence. Air leakage, accounting for 36% of energy loss, was the primary concern along with duct leakage at 13% and old, single pane windows at 20%. Recommended solutions included air sealing, wall and floor insulation, duct sealing in the crawlspace, and replacing windows. Measured air changes per hour of 2.21 exceeded the recommended level of 0.35, indicating a very drafty home. Utility bills showed high spending on gas, making it the main focus area. The audit provided data on energy loss sources and improvement potential, identifying air leakage and ductwork as priorities to address for major energy and cost savings. Safety issues

This document discusses various natural and sustainable building materials and techniques, including adobe, cob, strawbale, rammed earth, bamboo, and others. It notes that buildings account for a large portion of resource usage globally. Natural building aims to use materials and methods that work with nature rather than against it. The document also covers innovations in green materials science for building, such as biomimicry and plant-based plastics that require less energy than traditional polymers.
NZEH Seminar
NZEH stands for Net Zero Energy Home. The key requirements for a NZEH are to reduce energy needs for heating and cooling through efficiency measures, generate on-site renewable energy, and balance energy imported from and exported to the grid over the course of a year so the home has a net zero energy bill. Building an effective building envelope through air sealing, insulation, and reducing thermal bridging is crucial. On-site renewable energy sources like solar PV, solar thermal, or biomass can meet the home's energy needs.
