Sustainable design in development buildings and rooms: a way to a greener future
Floods and forest fires let the world damaged, but how will we rebuild? That is a question that occurs again and again. Concrete blocks and wooden frames 2 × 4 are both frequently used decisions, but are there more questions that we should ask ourselves? Ed Marcelo changed Tanja Vidovic from WMNF Sustainable Living Show for a discussion about a possible category, which he should take into account in every new project. Sustainability in the infrastructure. TED is the director of Learning Solutions at the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure.
While he worked a company job that did not meet his “personal needs and wishes”, Marcello felt an appeal to work in the community and a career, which he could feel better about. “Sustainability and infrastructure have such an influence that I cannot draw this splitting line” between personal life and work. Marcelo talks about ISI as a “non -profit organization that really focuses on contributing to more meaningful projects in the infrastructure sector”. An example he offers is how a professor at Usf encouraged her students to get into the Robles Park district, which was flooded in one of the youngest hurricanes. Marcelo states that the professor “let himself be viewed to find out how to get to redesign to ensure that this did not happen again.” Vidovic points out that it makes sense to work together and the designers to involve people who will use the space to ensure that they take all of these aspects into account to ensure the other way round.
“While building design with sustainability as a core element becomes a defining principle in the architecture and construction industry, it is still not a standard. In view of the increase in population, the increasing urbanization and the effects of climate change worldwide, the need for sustainable practices in terms of design, construction and operation has never been more urgent, but people are starting? Tanja Vidovic asks Marcelo whether local Tampa developers are on board and involve sustainability in their new construction projects, and Ted Marcelo does not answer, but hopefully soon.
Marcelo was led to ISI and Envision because he wanted to be part of more meaningful projects, “sustainability beyond the environment, but also socially and economically, to ensure that this is worth it.” Vidovic asked Marcelo how Envision with Leed -certified buildings Compare. “Leed evaluates sustainability with lived buildings,” explains Envision and ISI, the physical version of Leed. ISI includes all physical civilian infrastructure, including rainwater, bridges and parks. When designing a room approved by Envision, 6 sections must be taken into account: water, energy, transport, landscape, transport and waste. He makes it clear that the core concept of every development project continues to be Leed Designs that are historically seen. “We also go and pursue and measure the milestones and results.”
Marcelo points out that Envision is “decentralized” online, which he enables ISI to have students all over the world. Marcelo makes it clear that the Envision lessons and ideals currently have a “US central point of view” and that the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) wants to change this. Marcello specifies when she [Envision] encompass “better sustainability” worldwide that it does not only have to be adjusted to “western ideals”.
The approach of taking into account sustainability for design and development projects not only helps to minimize the effects on the environment, but also to create a healthier, more efficient life, games and areas of work that improve the community and pass the test of time can. ISI uses a 1000 point system to evaluate the sustainability of each project, which assesses a grade.
“People often want to take the course before they even have a design in mind”, but Marcelo sees potential opportunities to renovate parks and revitalize public spaces by working with the city park designer. Marcelo hopes that this will become a “wavy effect” of the exchange of knowledge. He hopes that Envision will become a tool from which we can all learn, but not only from the victories, but also in the projects that were not as planned. Marcelo explains that a lot of “learning through failure” and that we would all know more if we open the hood, look and learn from the other of the other.
