Sustainable
design can be described as a total process to enhance building performance by
reducing
negative consequences on the environment to improve
the comfort and health of occupants in the building. It’s achieved by
reducing the use of non-renewable resources, creating productive environments,
and minimizing waste. Some principles of sustainable design include optimizing
site potential, using environmentally friendly products, minimizing non-renewable
consumption of energy, improving indoor environmental quality, and conserving
water. In the building of a home, sustainable design involves incorporating
all these principles into the architecture, construction materials, landscape
and garden, as well as the products and accessories which are to be used in
the home.
