  1. 2.3.2 Green Building and Sustainable Design

  2. 1) Collecting Rain Water • Rain Barrels – It's as simple as it sounds, barrels are placed outside of buildings for the use of collecting rain water to use during dry months.

  3. 2) Beneficial Environmental Construction Methods • Indoor air quality filters – A built in system that reduces air pollution in buildings. This is beneficial in that the air produced by buildings doesn't negatively effect the environment.

  4. 3) Construction Waste Recycling • Recycling – Basically, a way in which extra materials and components can be used positively is by recycling them or reconstituting them into other useful materials.

  5. 4) Reducing Energy Consumption • Sealing and Insulating – By putting in high quality insulation into buildings, it prevents heat from escaping & entering. This benefits in energy for both the heating and air conditioning.

  6. 5) Natural Resources • Materials – trees that are already there, land and other sources of nature can be used in the construction of a new structure.
