 | | Benefits of Green Design | | by Ferdine, Mar 18, 2008 | | Some commentators argue that green design is Utopian and unrealistic. However, green buildings make economic sense.

 | | Which Materials Should be Used in Green Design? | | by Ferdine, Mar 17, 2008 | | Architects can minimise the impact that buildings have on the environment with materials. Some materials like steel and glass consume a lot of energy in the manufacturing process, so they should be avoided. Low-impact building materials should be used wherever feasible. For example, it’s been suggested that for insulation between walls recycled denim can be used, rather than fiberglass foam, which is dangerous to breathe. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 20 |
