Green Building
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), green
building is the practice of creating structures and using processes
that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient
throughout a building's life cycle, from siting to design,
construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and deconstruction.
"Built Environment"
Refers to all the man-made surroundings that are needed for human
activity, from roads, to buildings, to neighborhoods.
In the United States, buildings account for how much of the following:
potable water consumption, waste output, raw materials use, CO2
emissions, energy use, and electricity consumption?
14% of potable water consumption, 30% of waste output, 40% of raw
materials use, 38% of Carbon dioxide emissions, 24% to 50% of energy
use, and 72 % of electricity consumption.
The built environment contributes what percentage of all greenhouse
gas emissions?
67%
Based on a US General Services administration survey among twelve
green buildings states that green buildings have:
26% energy use reduction, 27% higher levels of occupant satisfaction,
13% lower maintenance costs, and 33% lower carbon dioxide emissions.
According to the US EPA, people in the United States spend, on
average, how much of their time indoors?
90%
Regenerative design
Type of building design that creates no waste and also provides more

sustainability that are not a part of the conventional building
process?
Systems thinking, life-cycle thinking, and integrated process.
The Systems of a building include:
resources, materials, energy, building occupants, and information.
Systems thinking
Refers to the understanding of each and every system of a building
while also understanding their relationships and looking at the
