Present Situation
According to World Watch Institute, the problem with theconventional building, the type in which we live in are:
BUILDINGS USE 40% of raw stone, gravel and stone and other processed materials
such as steel, adding to Land Destruction Deforestation Air and water pollution from processing
25% of wood is used for construction, adding to Deforestation Flooding Biological and Cultural Diversity Losses

Present Situation
40% of total energy use, adding to Local air pollution Acid rains Nuclear waste
Risk of global warming
16% of total water withdrawals, adding to Water pollution; competes with agriculture and
ecosystems of water
Poor air quality in 30% of new and renovated buildings Higher incidence of sicknesslost productivity in tens
of billions annually

HVAC
Heating, Ventilating, and AirConditioning (HVAC) equipment performheating and/or cooling for residential,commercial or industrial buildings
HVAC system is also responsible forproviding fresh outdoor air to diluteinterior airborne contaminants such as
odors from occupants, volatile organiccompounds (VOCs) emitted from interiorfurnishings, chemicals used for cleaning

NonCFC Air Conditionersand Refrigerators
Non-CFC based centrifugal chillersmanufactured today can achieve 40%improvement in energy consumption ascompared to average energy consumptionof older CFC-based centrifugal chillers
Pollutants released from old chillers causeeconomic damage to buildings and
environmental and economic damage tovegetation, animals, and naturalresources

Green Roofs
Grow fruits, vegetables, and flowers
Filter pollutants and carbon dioxide out ofthe air
The soil and plants on green roofs help toinsulate a building for sound
