LEED Principles and LEED Green Associate Study Guide, Third Edition
LEED Principles and LEED Green Associate Study Guide, Third Edition Sustainability can be defined as the ability to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. What are some of the things that come to mind when you think about green building? Green building is the practice of creating structures and using processes that are environmentally responsible and resource efficient throughout a building’s life cycle.
That life cycle respectfully analyzes and integrates site selection through design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and deconstruction. The practice expands and also complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.
In short, high-performance buildings are designed and built to minimize resource consumption, reduce life cycle costs, maximize health and productivity for the building’s occupants, and improve environmental performance.
