To guide the design process, we
feel it is important to articulate performance objectives of
sustainability. Building projects should strive to be
conceived, designed and constructed to:
I
Minimize energy
requirements and utilize renewable energy sources
for their construction and
operation; II
Use local
materials which are extracted such that ecosystem
viability is not compromised; III
Increase habitat
for biodiversity and build bioregional
integrity; IV
Eliminate air and
water pollutant discharges; V
Enhance water
quality and promote the natural
hydrology; VI
Provide healthful
and accessible environments for
occupants; VII
Embody a vision of
positive human participation in our living
planet. | |||||||||||||||||
