Sustainable design
oftentimes building may well designed energy efficient location requires people travel far back forth – increasing pollution may building produced directly result building anyway.sustainable architecture must also cover building beyond useful life.disposal recycling aspects also come wing sustainability.often modular buildings better take apart less energy intensive put together too.waste demolition site must disposed correctly everything harvested used designed extricated structure ease preventing unnecessary wastage decommissioning building.
Sustainable design
another important aspect sustainable architecture stems question whether structure needed.sometimes best done make structure sustainable retrofitting upgrading building services supplies instead tearing down.abu dhabi example undergone undergoing major retrofitting slash energy water consumption rather demolishing rebuilding new structures.sustainable architects design sustainable living mind.sustainable vs green design challenge designs reflect healthy processes uses powered renewable energies site specific resources.test sustainable design — design function intended use without fossil fuel — unplugged.
