Sustainable Buildings
From CopperWiki
Enormous amounts of energy, water, and materials are required for construction and operation of buildings. There is also generation of large amount of waste, and the ecosystems are also affected in countless ways. The indoor environments of the buildings too present new problems and challenges. To overcome these problems, a growing field called sustainable design is leading the way to reduce that impact at the source.
[edit] Why Sustainable Buildings?
Sustainable building designs aim to create healthier and more resource efficient models of construction, renovation, operation, maintenance, and demolition.
