What is Green Building? How do I decide on materials and systems for my home?

Materials & Systems Selection review toxicity of waste toxicity of waste transportation impacts transportation impacts selection durability maintenance durability maintenance manufactured waste manufactured waste limiting resource limiting resource impacts resource impacts demolition waste demolition waste energy use occupant health occupant health hazardous waste hazardous waste embodied energy embodied energy

Five systems that describe how a building is built Taken from “How Buildings Learn” by Stuart Brand

Green Building Characteristics

Materials Selection example o oriented strand board

foundations framing sheathing ext finish flooring Materials Comparisons

finishes insulation roofing

BEING GREEN IS NOT ENOUGH o FIRST COST o LIFE CYCLE COST o CODE COMPLIANCE o OPERATING REQUIREMENTS o MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS o TECHNOLOGY o AVAILABILITY o CONSTRUCTABILITY

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING  YOU WILL HAVE TO SPEND TIME AND RESEARCH AN EVER GROWING NUMBER OF PRODUCTS AND BUILDING TECHNIQUES  NOW YOU HAVE A TOOL
