What is EARTH?

Increasing the efficiency ofresource use

Reducing building impacts onhuman health and theenvironment

Better sitting, design,construction, operation,maintenance, and removal.

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
