    ENG315: Justification Report Plan

    I intend to address the Building Manager in my Justification Report on ways the building can be a ”green” building and have less impact on the environment. The purpose of this report is to introduce new products that can be used throughout the building that are environmentally friendly such as the types of cleaning materials that the maintenance crew uses, types of paper products used, and building materials used on improvements. I also plan to address implementing a recycle program in the building which will assist employees that are interested in becoming more environmentally friendly. I will also look into implementing a “green” roof which will…

    Grass Roots Green Roof

    The first article “Grass roots green roof”¹ explains how a nature lover and her volunteer community install and maintain a low-cost green roof system on the roof of a 36-year-old residential building to implement storm water management. In the beginning, community disagreements, safety concerns, and structural issues prevent the progress of the green roof project, but based on the correct engineering assessments about the load capacity of, and other details about, the building, the green roof is perceived to be a better idea than the existing flat roof, and the project moves ahead. In the end, the builders of this low-cost green roof are happy about the progress, and hope that every community installs these low-cost green roofs on their residential buildings. This effort is a good example of a successful low-cost green development by a community group, which over time can make an important impact on the local…

    Socioeconomic Status In The United States

    Housing codes provide an existing, but often underemployed, tool to improve indoor environments that require owners and occupants to maintain housing to standards that protect public health and reduce indoor allergens, irritants and other pollutants.24 Many states and local governments have housing codes; however, they vary considerably in their requirements, ranging from codes that incorporate very nonspecific language to providing specific descriptions of substandard conditions and requirements for repair.24 Housing codes would be very beneficial to inner-city homes where the majority of ethnic minorities…
