Using Green Building And Energy Efficient Resources For The Structures

The indefinite growth of the human population, has monumental impacts on the natural environment, not only in the UK, but around the globe. Architecturally, the entire process of designing and constructing a building, both domestic and not, can lead to the rapid exhaustion of natural resources across the planet. Building with environmental design strategies in mind not only combats the impact we as humans have on the natural environment, but also has considerable economic benefits, due to lower running costs of buildings and advanced occupant productivity. There are also many social benefits, such as improved air quality which resultantly leads too enhanced health of a buildings occupants.

The following is part one of the strategic plan for EcoLiving Construction. In the first part of the strategic plan I will define my business, the services provided, and the customers to be served with my mission statement. I will create a vision for my business to demonstrate what I want my

Green buildings could become one of the main factors to preserve our rapidly decaying environment. There is no easy way to define a green building, but a green building is essentially a structure that amplifies the positives and mitigates the negatives throughout the entire life cycle of the building (Kriss, 2014). There are many definitions for a green building, but all of them include the planning, designing, constructing, and operating of the building while taking into huge considerations of the energy use, water use, indoor air environment, materials used and the effect it has on the site the green building is being built on. The first green buildings dates back to as far as the 1970’s, when solar panels went from experiments to reality. Green buildings were not as popular as they are today due to their extremely high pricing. With technology rapidly growing, solar panels are becoming cheaper and cheaper, making the transition to creating green buildings more affordable. This is the primary reason for the increased growth of green buildings today. A modern company that is paving the way to the growth of green buildings named LEED, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, focuses primarily on new and effective ideas for environmentally friendly buildings projects. With more than 60,000 commercial projects worldwide and 1.7 million square feet being certified every day, LEED is one of the leading groups for promoting green buildings. LEED has popularized the entire

The issues to resolve and is shaping residential buildings, which is affected by many factors related to climatic, socio-demographic, urban and other objective and subjective.

Whether it be and architectural response to a state of war, a public works project indicating the actual role of a governing body, or a built environment designed to impose and promote a future of cultural assimilation, architecture, and environmental design are tools being used by both subjects and the enforcers of the social contract to convey their will and intention. While it may seem that with the United States in the hands of a seemingly aimless land developer that country would be on a likewise tumultuous trajectory, but the built environment tells another story. I leave you with this image showing, in truth, that the power of the of the governing body resides and is subject to the will of its constituents. And that while architecture and the built environment are generally seen to be focused on a scale of grandeur and imposition, simple architectural interventions have the ability to convey the intent of those under the social contract and their resolve to uphold

Dr. O’Rourke began her presentation by telling us that “To understand what a building is communicating we also must look at it like we look at a painting.” This presents an initial point of view that differs from the normal perspectives from which buildings are viewed, such as the utilitarian or the engineering

Since the L.E.E.D. initiative began in 1998, the public has been under the belief that the better the certification, the more ecofriendly the building is, but there is new evidence to suggest that this might be wrong and new programs out there are raising the bar. Sam Roudman wrote “L.E.E.D.ing from Behind. A Green Building Racket Exposed” published in the New Republic, and he argues that even though the public believes that L.E.E.D. is encouraging more ecofriendly buildings, there is evidence that the top certified L.E.E.D. buildings, such as the Bank of America Building, are not the most ecofriendly due to the usage of energy once the building is fully occupied. Jeffery L. Davis wrote “Beyond L.E.E.D.: Living up to the Living Building

One of the primary forces guiding me throughout my life has been a desire to create. As a child I was constantly immersed in a sea of Lego’s and Lincoln Logs, and as an adult innovative spatial forms have likewise mesmerized me. I am constantly fascinated by the impact a building’s inherent character can have on the way we perceive our lives. Our memories are fundamentally shaped by our sense of place at any given moment. Additionally, I believe historic structures are essential in giving our communities identity. What most interests me is architecture that not only seeks to preserve but also means to tastefully and respectfully transform buildings of the past so that they may be relevant in the future. Going forward, I believe that one

In our world, today we make more and more discoveries every day and with that new knowledge comes innovation. Since the engineering building was first built in the late 1890’s, there have been many advances in becoming a more environmentally friendly building. It is time to transform this historical building into what will be one of the greenest buildings on any campus in the world.

As people known, to use renewable resource and to save energy or comfortable indoor environment is far from the overall picture. Because construction mentioned above is an industry which include many aspects such as land use and application of advanced technology, etc. Therefore if we want to define what is green building we should recognize the whole industrial chain included each aspects and unintended environment, social, economic, consequence brought possibly of complex activity. Kats (2003) in his article stated that the sustainable or green building should deal with those key points: environment, resource & energy consumption, impact on people, financial impact and the world at large which is a broader set of issues such as ground water recharge or global warming, as well governmental policies are typically concerned about (Kats, 2003, P. 1). And another institute, Office of the federal Environmental Executive (2003) defined green building as the practice of increasing the efficiency with which

Green buildings will become one of the main factors to preserve our rapidly decaying environment. There is not an easy way to define a green building. Essentially, a green building is the effort of amplifying the positives and mitigate the negatives throughout the entire life cycle of a building (Kriss, 2014).

LEED has built an entire green building industry, and will have a net worth of $248 billion (Kriss, 2014). Green buildings will still emit carbon dioxide gases and cause some kind damage to the land; they

My argument is how sustainable architecture can be used and how it can benefit the Earth and it’s residence in an environmental or cost-effective way. Thus, leading to exploration of the different forms, of technology and materials used. Further developing my research on how culture, or time, might have affected, what or why, the building might have been constructed in a certain way, and also how the location might have affected the designs, of the buildings.

The purpose of architecture itself is to improve human life. Due to its extreme environments, living in space or on

There are so many things, which can be done to get greener. Here are only four points listed which could be done for example:

Energy efficiency in the building sector during the past decade has been a priority of the European Union, and many measures have been taken to establish a building 's energy and to reduce emissions in the environment. Buildings because of their high internal gains, especially for heating and for cooling have characteristically high consumption ability. Furthermore, the intermittent schedule in the early morning hours to heat or cool-down space is needed with more energy and consumption. Building envelope and use energy audits and thermal modelling as a result of the demand for energy and the consumption profile of a building, is presented. Through energy audit process and the electrical and fuel consumption were measured by
