 GREEN BUILDING
❏ structure and the application of processes that
are environmentally responsible and resource-
efficient throughout a building's life-cycle
❏ designing and building healthy, comfortable,
cost effective, and environmentally friendly
living and working environments
❏ developing sustainable sites, increasing water

 GREEN BUILDING
❏ main goals are to preserve resources like raw
materials, energy and water, fight against

emission), minimize waste and other
pollutions, and maximize the whole life-cycle
performance
❏ aims to bring comfort and health to

 ENVIRONMENT
❏ both transportation systems and infrastructure
causes negative impacts to the environment
❏ causes issues such as water and air pollution
because of improper waste management and
increase use of fossil fuel for car emissions
❏ “planning the waste management and recycling
for all of the rubbish produced is an enormous
task which involves both logistical planning and
scientific knowledge and understanding in order
to balance the impact on the environment and the
cost effectiveness of the process.” (Mohammed,
2016)
❏ rubbish and waste can cause air and water
pollution
