Editor's Notes
- #23Ā The goal when designing a sustainable building is to design and create a structure that operates in harmony with the environment and its occupants. Natural resources are carefully considered in all phases of the structure.
- #24Ā Economy of Resources Analysis of building inputs and outputs of natural resources require new methods and strategies to maximize all resources. Life Cycle Design Building may cost more up front, but savings is achieved over the life of the building. This may be achieved through passive heating and cooling, insulation, alternative sources of energy, energyāefficient equipment, and appliances. Humane Design Focuses on the interactions between humans preserving natural conditions. This may include integration of public transportation, natural light through windows, operable windows for fresh air, and non-toxic materials.
- #26Ā Pre-Building Phase How building materials impact the environment: harvesting trees could result in deforestation; mining mineral resources (iron for steel; bauxite for aluminum; sand, gravel, and limestone for concrete) disturbs the natural environment; even the transport of these materials can be a highly polluting activity, depending on their weight and distance from the site. The manufacturing of building products also requires energy and creates environmental pollution: for example, a high level of energy is required to manufacture steel or aluminum products. Building Phase The operation of the building life cycle considers natural resources, its carbon footprint, and operating costs. Post-Building Phase Old materials become resources for other building or waste to be returned to nature. The sustainable-design strategy focuses on reducing construction waste (which currently comprises 60% of the solid waste in landfills) by recycling and reusing buildings and building materials.
- #27Ā Neighborhood and cities can benefit by proper planning. Consideration of water demands and building material during the planning phase. Creative architects and planners can use the natural resources provided by the building site.
- #28Ā Reduced energy consumption and the comfort of building occupants are two criteria that architects consider most during the life of the structure.
- #29Ā The sustainable design strategy focuses on reducing construction waste (which currently comprises 60% of he solid waste in landfills) by recycling and reusing buildings and building materials.
