Going Green : Construction
€1.00
Description
Green construction practices aim to cut back the environmental affect
of buildings, so the very first rule is: the greenest construction is the
construction that doesn’t get constructed.
New construction almost always degrades a construction site, so not
construction is preferred to green construction. The 2nd rule is: every
construction ought to be as little as possible. The 3rd rule is: do not
contribute to sprawl (the tendency is for metropolises to spread out in
a disordered fashion). Regardless how much grass you put on your
roof, regardless how energy-efficient windows, etc., you utilize, if you
contribute to sprawl, you’ve defeated your purpose. Urban infill sites
are preferred to suburban “greenfield” sites.
