ENVIRONMENTALLY

BY:CORRI-ANNE BECKER

WHAT CAN THIS TYPE OF ENERGY BE USED FOR?

• To store heat and power.
• This allows the building to store power for later use.
• This also allows heat to build up to keep warm when needed.

HOW IS THIS TYPE OF ENERGY EASILY RENEWED?

• By recycling materials again and again.
• This process allows materials to be easily renewed.
• cement that was once used can be reused for basement floors.
• Also wood can be reused for shutters, walls, floors, etc.
• manufactured recycled steel, shipping containers

WHAT IS THE COST OF USING THIS RESOURCE?

• over the last 15 years it has proven that it doesn't have to cost more to build green.
• Shipping costs can make non-local materials much more expensive.
• Passive solar heating can reduce heating bills by 30-50% with little or no cost.
• Operating costs are on average 8 to 9% lower.

WHAT ARE THE POSITIVE ASPECTS OF USING THIS?

• Benefits on costs, the environment, jobs, and later payment.
• If you end up going with this choice later on you will end up paying less.
• tax payers end up with the best value.
• Green buildings,in general, also have lower vacancy rates.
• Green buildings lower the temperature and cost for near by buildings.

WHAT ARE THE NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF USING THIS?

• Not a new fashion stream in design and architecture.
• Costs are usually balanced by savings but you still have money coming out.
• At the expense of your health the environment can be an issue.
• This can effect the indoor air quality.

WHAT IS THE SCIENCE BEHIND ECO FRIENDLY BUILDINGS?

• Science is what sustainable building relies on.
• Energy loses some of its potential each time it is converted from one form to another
• Careful planning and detailing at the start of a project will enrich and make the project much simpler.

HOW IS THE ENERGY GATHERED?

• Through water, steam
• Solar panels
• Wind power

HOW IS THE ENERGY STORED FOR LATER USE?

• an electric current that can be used immediately or stored, such as in a battery for later use.
• The amount of energy that the house generates depends on a number of constantly shifting variables.
• time of year, time of day, weather conditions and the owner’s behavior

WHAT ARE THE WASTE BY-PRODUCTS?

• Tin, wires, dry wall, tiles, counter tops, etc.
• Any waste by-products are recycled and reused

WHAT IS CURRENTLY KEEPING THIS FROM BEING USED WORLD WIDE?

• Mostly the economy.
• And people not being able to afford to do this now at this point in time.
• If you don't have the right amount of funds this will not work for you.

WHEN IS THIS EXPECTED TO BE ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC?

• Eco friendly buildings are currently available to the public.
• It is just not common now due to the economy.

MATERIALS USED TO MAKE THESE BUILDINGS ECO FRIENDLY.

• Recycled goods
• Such as wood, bricks, copper, metals, counter tops
• Wind mills, solar panels, water turbines
• And even bambo
