(6)Trang natural resources There are four main principles of sustainability, which includes consideration of the health and stability of all living things and their environmental diversity, as well as the economic opportunities of humanity
Sustainable architecture consists of environmentally conscious design techniques In the past, the demolition of an old building meant that all or most of the debris of the building would end up in a landfill or a waste disposal site Today, architects can plan and design a building that uses recycled materials, such as wood, concrete, stone, or metal These materials are salvaged from the demolition of an older building and can be appropriately incorporated into a new construction Architects and construction supervisors may also choose to recycle more organic parts of demolished buildings, such as wooden doors, windows and other glass, ceramics, paper, and textiles
A problem that has often arisen has been with how a site crew-whether it is demolition or
construction crew determines and sorts what is “waste” and what is recyclable Architects and environmental scientists have to decide whether or not a material is appropriate for use in new construction and how it will impact the environment They must evaluate the materials from the demolition and determine what those materials contain, and if they meet the standards set by the U.S, government’s Environmental Protection Agency (the EPA) If the debris from the demolition contains hazardous materials that are harmful to the environment or to the consumer, such as asbestos, then the material is not salvageable Use of the asbestos for insulation and as a form of fire retardation in buildings and fabrics was common in the nineteenth century Asbestos was once used in shingles on the sides of buildings, as well as in the insulation in the interior walls of homes or other construction In new “green” construction, insulation that once asbestos- based can be replaced with recycled denim or constructed with cellulose-a fibrous material found in paper products The same-assessment applies to wood or wallboard painted with toxic lead-based paints In addition, gas-flow regulators and meters on both water and gas heating systems constructed prior to 1961 must be carefully evaluated to determine that they not contain dangerous substances such as mercury Mercury can be harmful to humans and the environment if it is spilled during the removal of these devices
