This document discusses the viability and benefits of sustainable building practices. It outlines the premium investment costs associated with building a green hotel compared to a normal hotel, and highlights various quantifiable and non-quantifiable returns on that investment over time through reduced utility costs and other benefits. These include educating students and guests about sustainability, managing waste effectively, offsetting guests' carbon emissions, raising local and international awareness through social media exposure, and developing positive relationships with the surrounding community. The goal is to prove that sustainability is a viable approach that can benefit destinations.

Energy and equilibria
1. Systems can exist in alternative stable states or equilibria, with tipping points between them driven by positive feedback mechanisms. Negative feedback maintains stability.
2. The laws of thermodynamics govern energy flow and work potential in systems. Energy is transferred but not created or destroyed, and entropy increases over time as available energy decreases.
3. Feedback loops can be positive and destabilizing, amplifying changes, or negative and stabilizing, reducing changes and maintaining equilibrium. Resilience allows systems to withstand disturbances without changing states.

Green building ppt
This document discusses green buildings and sustainable construction. It begins by defining green buildings as those that use less water and energy resources, generate less waste, and provide healthier spaces for occupants compared to conventional buildings. The key objectives of green buildings are to minimize environmental impacts, optimize energy and water efficiency, and promote occupant health. Some examples of green building strategies and technologies used in India are discussed, such as solar air conditioning, green roofs, hybrid solar systems, high performance building envelopes, and radiant cooling. The growth of green building in India since 2002 and its economic and environmental benefits are also summarized.

Gregoir Chikaher
This document discusses strategies for making existing hotels more sustainable through refurbishment. It outlines key considerations for sustainable hotel design like location, building envelopes, materials selection and more efficient mechanical and electrical systems. A step-by-step approach is proposed that involves assessing the building baseline, reviewing operations, establishing goals, selecting initiatives and implementing upgrades. Examples of typical upgrades that can reduce carbon emissions are also provided such as improving the building envelope, switching to renewable energy sources, and better waste management.
Green Build.pptx
The document discusses green buildings and their benefits. Green buildings are designed to reduce environmental impact through efficient use of resources like energy and water, minimizing waste and pollution. They aim to be energy efficient, water efficient, healthy for occupants, and minimize waste. Green building certification systems evaluate buildings' performance in areas like site planning, materials used, and energy efficiency. Popular systems in India include LEED and TERI-GRIHA which rate buildings at different certification levels. Green buildings provide tangible benefits like energy and water savings and intangible benefits like improved air quality and occupant health and well-being.
Green Building Final Presentation
This document summarizes a green building workshop hosted by HUD's Office of Native American Programs. It discusses how green building practices can increase energy and water efficiency, reduce environmental impacts, and improve indoor air quality. Examples of green building strategies presented included energy-efficient appliances and building envelopes, renewable energy systems, sustainable building materials, water conservation, and construction waste management. Data showed that green building approaches can help control rising energy costs and address environmental hazards in existing housing. The workshop provided lessons on applying green development practices and next steps to promote these techniques in HUD programs.
Waste production of proximity hotel
The Proximity Hotel achieved a platinum LEED certification through various sustainable practices. During construction, 87% of waste was recycled, keeping 1,535 tons of waste out of landfills. Water usage is reduced by 30% through efficient fixtures and landscaping. Energy savings come from 100 solar panels, a regenerative elevator, and natural lighting. Materials were selected to be recyclable and low-emitting. Guests can experience sustainability through local art, a green roof, and educational programs.

It provides examples of planning policies and guidance on achieving carbon reduction and sustainability through location, layout, materials and building performance.greenbuildingppt-161123093000.pdf
Green building aims to reduce environmental impact and improve occupant health. It incorporates architectural features, water and energy efficiency, materials selection, waste management, indoor air quality and thermal comfort. Converting an existing building to green involves adopting green practices during design, construction, renovation and reconstruction. This presentation compares an existing building to the same building converted to green, highlighting improvements like rainwater harvesting, LED lighting, low-VOC paints, and rooftop gardens. Certifying the converted building as green would provide tangible benefits like energy and water savings as well as intangible benefits like better indoor air quality.

Tim Williamson - RTD11 2015
This document discusses marketing for sustainability in tourism. It argues that both influencing the market and customers is important. To influence the market, transparency about objectives is key and change will be gradual. Influencing customers emphasizes authentic experiences that benefit local communities as well as travelers. Responsible tourism marketing should focus on the journey rather than having all the answers, as positive change takes continual effort.
