Paper C: Reaction to article How I (Almost) Saved the Earth By: S. Adams Richard R. Powers Environment & Society 21432 M-W 12:00PM There are a lot of factors when considering building a “green” home. In Adams’ article “How I Almost Saved the Earth‚” he states that the greenest house any one could ever build is a house that is never built. This is true‚ but to most people this will not be a reasonable way to spend their lives. Therefore‚ if one wanted to build a house with the least

1. Introduction Sunrise Square is a newly proposed commercial building‚ aimed to secure the BCA Platinum Green Mark award‚ to be completed by October 2015. The building is fully air-conditioned except for some common areas and it has a multi-storey carpark which is to be naturally or mechanically ventilated. The air-conditioning system for the building is water cooled chilled water system. The cooling load of the system is greater than 500 RT. The purpose of this project is to recommend the
