Environmentally Friendly Building S Assignments
1. Abstract
The assignment will be exploring some design approaches on environmentally friendly buildings and to define what is mean by the term “sustainable architecture”? Green architecture is a sustainable method of green building design: it is design and construction with the environment in mind. Green architects generally work with the key concepts of creating an energy efficient, environmentally friendly house.
The environmentally friendly building materials and construction methods will be introducing in this assignment (e.g. precast concrete). And the government how to promote green building and sustainable construction in Hong Kong.
2. Background
In recent years, we have seen movement in environmental concerns including development and facility introduction such as energy saving, longevity life, ecological tree planting surrounding real estate, where future environmental problems are seriously concerned. As for environmentally friendly building, we have an important term: “Sustainable Development”.
The wealth, which we enjoy a lot by using buildings as places for living or working, must be obtained by future generations. So we have to build houses that minimize their load on the environment as well as meet standards of quality.
3) Definition of the “Sustainable Architecture”
Sustainable architecture is architecture which is designed in an environmentally friendly way. The goal of sustainable or “green” architecture is to create structures which are beautiful and functional, but which also contribute to a sustainable lifestyle and culture. Interest in sustainable architecture grew radically in the early 21st century in response to growing concerns about the environment, but in fact people have been building sustainably for thousands of years, because sustainable projects are often practical in nature
It is defined as "the creation and responsible management of a healthy built environment based on resource efficient and ecological
