2.3.2 Green Building and Sustainable Design
1) Collecting Rain Water
Rain Barrels – It's as simple as it sounds, barrels are placed outside of buildings for the use of collecting rain water to use during dry months.
2) Beneficial Environmental Construction Methods
Indoor air quality filters – A built in system that reduces air pollution in buildings. This is beneficial in that the air produced by buildings doesn't negatively effect the environment.
3) Construction Waste Recycling
Recycling – Basically, a way in which extra materials and components can be used positively is by recycling them or reconstituting them into other useful materials.
4) Reducing Energy Consumption
Sealing and Insulating – By putting in high quality insulation into buildings, it prevents heat from escaping & entering. This benefits in energy for both the heating and air conditioning.
5) Natural Resources
Materials – trees that are already there, land and other sources of nature can be used in the construction of a new structure.
