Sustainable Architecture in the 21ST Century). Sustainable or sustainable architecture seeks to optimize natural resources and building systems that minimize the environmental impact of buildings and their inhabitants in the environment. The high energy demand and low production force us to focus on new technologies‚ methods and ways to economize‚ reduce costs and expenses. Among these proposals is Sustainable Architecture Think of it from the social environment; It is what makes complex human

INTRODUCTION: According to Beggs (2009)‚ energy audit can best be described as a study being carried out for the purpose of establishing and quantifying the cost of several energy input and flow in a given organization or facility over a said period of time. All for the purpose of reducing the cost of operations and saving cost. Several ways of carrying out an audit exists and therefore it can be said that one particular process may not be suitable for all cases. The forms of auditing that are

the market as possible. It is also consuming ever greater amounts of energy and is therefore the source of significant CO² emissions. According to calculation IT now causes the release of as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as nearly 320 million cars‚ worldwide IT now generates CO² emissions of about 600 million metric tons a year. Green IT can help curb this alarming trend. Simply by consistently implementing known energy-conserving approaches‚ the CO² emitted by IT systems can be nearly halved

The construction industry consumes over 3 billion tons of raw materials each year (40% of total global use)1.a With growing concern over global warming and climate change‚ global responsibility in the consumption and production of renewable energy becomes not only a vital necessity‚ but a moral imperative. © UN-HABITAT/Caylee Hong METHODOLOGY THE RESPONSE Improving building energy efficiency is an

Green IT also strives to achieve economic viability and improved system performance and use‚ while abiding by our social and ethical responsibilities. Thus‚ green IT includes the dimensions of environmental sustainability‚ the economics of energy efficiency‚ and the total cost of ownership‚ which includes the cost of disposal and recycling. It is the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently."
