Document Summary
Massing (complex layouts corners that leak energy rectangles most eicient) Thermal massing (absorbing sun heat during day, releases during night) dark vs light surfaces radiant heaing, not forced heaing) Venilaion (stack efect, cross venilaion: mechanical venilaion would be a heat recovery venilator. Green buildings integrate social and environmental goals with inancial consideraions in real estate projects. Impact of canadian buildings on resources: 40% of world"s material and energy, 35% of canada"s greenhouse gas emissions, 50% of canada"s natural resource consumpion. Global co2 emissions by sector: buildings, transportaion. Green buildings can reduce: energy use 24-50, co2 emissions 33-39, water use 40, solid waste 70% Green washing: corporate environmentalism, use of green and nature as a markeing tool. Traci (tool for the reducion and assessment of chemical and other environmental impacts) Assist in impact assessment for sustainability metrics, etc. Level one: product comparison tools and info sources. Used in earlier stages; may incl. economic + environmental info.
