Corporate Sustainability Advisors and Commercial Buildings

 

As a corporate sustainability advisor, one of the questions often asked if what is a sustainable building? A sustainable building is one in which all aspects and dynamics of the building: The site selection, the design, construction, occupancy, and maintenance are approached and implemented , Elsa Peretti Teardrop ring, so that the building promotes conservation of energy, water, and improves systems and material efficiencies, while offering to the occupants a healthy, productive, and comfortable indoor environment while providing long-term benefits to owners, occupants, and society as a whole. Wikipedia interchanges sustainable building with green building and defines it as:

A sustainable building, or green building is an outcome of a design which focuses on increasing the efficiency of resource use — energy, water, and materials — while reducing building impacts on human health and the environment during the building's lifecycle, through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal.Green_building

Green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by:
Efficiently , Elsa peretti sevillana chain earrings, using energy, water, and other resources
Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity
Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation[2]
A similar concept is natural building, which is usually on a smaller scale and tends to focus on the use of natural , Elsa peretti teardrop pendant, materials that are available locally. Other commonly used terms include sustainable design and green architecture.

In order to accomplish "building sustainability' the project (new construction or existing renovation) team must approach the overall scope in a holistic manner - with emphasis upon the long-term goals. Each aspect - whether new construction or renovation must be analyzed according to the efficiencies and the resource conservation the materials and the systems provide.
Technologies today offer building materials managed and controlled for regional opportunities, good stewardship, low-emitting materials, optimization of energy performance, innovations in lighting, water and controls and materials made from recycled or reused products.

The trick is to create buildings that offer a thoughtful and conservation-minded localesetting, with a construction of responsibly used resources and with an implementation of systems that are efficient, cost effective and long-lasting.

When the term "sustainable" is used relative to buildings the reduction of what is known as the "carbon footprint" is often now part of the , Elsa Peretti Round earrings, reference. A carbon footprint is "the total set of GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions caused directly and indirectly by an individual, organization, event or product". All of the construction (renovation) dynamics listed above will reduce the carbon footprint of the building - but it is important to remember that the HVAC and the lighting , Tiffany Elsa Peretti charm bracelet, are two large carbon generators. Be sure that these systems are analyzed for maximum efficiencies.

Create a sustainable building that will reduce carbon emissions, provide a more natural and pleasant environment for the occupants and generate energy savings and a more marketable building for the ownertaxpayer.
