Notas del editor
- Buildings are highly visible, and they last a long time. They are very important to a society, symbolic of the way it sees itself. Green buildings can help motivate our societies to tackle more difficult issues. They are part of the solution to major environmental problems like climate change – higher density, integrated with public transport, improved water catchment and management. Green buildings offer economic and social benefits that typical buildings cannot – they provide better working environments and provide citizens with inspiration.
- Mention other benefits from Hanson talk – reference in speech.
- One or two way?
- Best use of embodied energy when elements are reused.
- Owner is a civil engineer, who was involved in the Big Dig in Boston, which involved dismantling an elevated expressway. He made use of over 600000 pounds of free materials that would otherwise have become construction waste: steel columns, beams and road decks. I used to eat food at the end of my Woolies shifts as a kid, but this is something else.
- 8-10% of emissions is based on a 40 year life span. Increasing the lifespan decreases the significance.
