The most well-known sustainable development idea is “meeting the needs of present population without compromising the need of future generation.” (Brundland,14). The importance of connection between nature and human develop ent can be found in Dr. Rider’s design and research. She focuses on Sustainable Design and Green Buildings that promote community connection, personal and environmental health,…
Building Blocks, Inc. is a construction company. I am working as project manager and I was recently promoted. I have given an option of selecting between managing the build of a residential home and an office building. I have given time to analyze and classify project characteristics of these two projects. My analysis and project classification is as below.…
(ASBEC) suggests that the building sector is directly responsible for around 24% of the total energy use. At present this is split fairly evenly between the residential and commercial building sectors. Reducing energy use and reducing greenhouse gas emissions are both worthwhile goals as it saves money and saves the environment. Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has been presented with increasing urgency within recent years as it is driving climate change. There are many opportunities to reduce energy and emissions within the building sector.…
Construction strategy needs to be cinsidered including offsite fabrication and develop health and safety strategy. Sustainability strategy is the strategy for delivering the sustainability aspirations. Maintenance and operational strategy is the strategy for the maintenance and operation of a building, including details of any specific plant required to replace components. Handover strategy and risk assessments have already been defined. Research and development is project-specific research and development responding to the initial project brief or in response to the concept design as it develops. Project execution plan is produced along with the project lead and lead designer. The construction strategy is a strategy which considers certain aspects of a design that may affect the building or logistics of a construction project or possible the health and safety aspects. The health and safety strategy covers all aspects of health and safety on a project. The sustainability checkpoint for this stage is 2 and the information exchanges demand the concept design including defined structural and building services design, related project strategies, preliminary cost information and final project…
Developing a structure is part of development for the nation. Building will involve the structure for residential area, industrial area or township area. During this decade the awareness of sustainable construction is related to the green building design to suit the purpose. In other word, a green construction or sustainable building refers to a structure and using process that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building 's life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. This practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.…

As we see more development in our life, we can argue that the environment becomes more contaminated. There are around 20 billion tons of CO2 and other poisonous gases, like methane gas, that are absorbed by the atmosphere every year. This poisonous environment kills around 14 thousand people all over the world, for example if exposed to methane gas, it causes dizziness, headache and nausea. This confirms that to achieve a healthy lifestyle at which people are not only wealthy but also healthy and safe, we need to find ways to protect our environment. Building a green city is thus a very sustainable…
The future of the construction industry is dependent upon the ability to transform the practices of successful businesses into leadership programs that are able to successfully complete LEED construction projects. The ability to complete these projects at a high level of expertise will help utilize green practices in the industry to reduce building emissions and the buildings carbon footprint on the planet. . LEED projects are defined by sustainability. The definition of sustainability is providing for the needs of the current generation without compromising the ability of future generations to provide for their needs. Providing healthy, resource – conserving, energy-efficient buildings. “Green” building. Through this paper I will explain some of the advantages and disadvantages, different incentive programs, the effectiveness and the rating system of the LEED certified projects. (Allen and Iano 984)…
One of the first concepts early philosophers focused on was the concept of change. The Milesians and Heraclitus believed that change was elemental. Thales argued change was rooted in water. Anaximenes believed it was air. Heraclitus bet his drachmas on fire.…
Preface This paper is part graduation studio SADD (Strategic Architectural Design Development). In this document the focus will be on showing the way of working during the design process from February 2012 till April 2013. The design development and understanding it better is the aim in this studio. With an urban design, architectural design and the building technology this project in very wide orientated. We learned to investigate different design strategies and designs to develop our conceptual design ideas into a worked-out design with an scientific and more technical approach. The design project in this studio is the UN Environmental Council (UNEC). This will be the Headquarters of Sustainability for the United Nations and from this location they want to coordinate the global developments on sustainability and investigate the global environmental issues. On the following pages there is a reflection on the my design process during this design course. On the next page you will find the content with the different chapters in which I explain the project and the design process I used.…
