Green Building Green Building is the practical use of resources to improve the buildings (energy, water, and materials) and efficiency while reducing the building on human health and the environment, from a better location, Design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal of this building throughout the full life cycle.
Natural Building is normally used for smaller scale, and tends to focus on the desirability of the use of local materials used. Other common terms include sustainable design and green building.
Six purpose of green building 1. To promote the building and the environment symbiosis benefits, sustainable living environment. 2. Implement the building energy conservation, continue to reduce energy consumption and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. 3. The development of indoor environmental quality technology, to create comfortable and healthy indoor living environment.
4. Promote the reduction of construction waste, reduce environmental pollution and impact.
5. Enhance the efficient use of resources, technology, maintenance of ecological balance of environment. 6. Incentives and market mechanisms to establish green building, the development of construction of a new style of Taiwanese subtropical.
CaseGreen University
"Green University" The term common sense in the international community that is "sustainable development" for the vision of the various activities on behalf of higher education for the development of human society should bear the important responsibility. In the international community, "sustainable development" concept can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th century, conservation scholars, such as Marsh, Pinchot and Muir et al proposed development on ecological and environmental sustainability issues, and that natural resources and The development level of balance.
1950s, the U.S. economy and driven by rapid industrial growth, surface water, groundwater, air and soil began to back painful price, environmental concerns are increasingly international attention.
U.S. President Richard Nixon in 1970 caused the U.S. Congress's message of environmental quality, emphasizing the need of human beings are the various stages of the influence of environmental education, the more necessary basic overview and understanding of environmental awareness, civic literacy training should be.
From 1970 to 1980, the United States Congress passed twenty pieces of the Environmental Protection Act, in the history of the development environment called "environmental decade".
In celebration of Earth Day 1970 event, by a group of students through the practice of burying the car, a symbol of the seriousness of the human destruction of the environment, the environment and education events and importance of the relationship between the widely by the public's attention ;
And the energy crisis in 1970, but also to the concept of environmental protection and sustainable development between the more attention in school (Bartlett & Chase, 2004) many response measures and practices enshrined in the University should play in environmental conservation Role, and outlines the “Green University� blueprint. "Green University" the initial development of the concept of the reason is to reduce the university arising from the operation of the negative impact on the environment.
Since the University of electricity, oil, gas, water and chemical substances of very considerable use of resources. A school district with a large number of large universities, the consumption of resources may be greater than the mere composition of communities and institutions, or some business groups.
The University of operation, it would also produce large amounts of waste, waste water, chemicals and toxic wastes, these materials will eventually become the campus and neighboring communities, environmental issues.
Therefore, reducing these environmental issues for the campus and community impact of the early green university basic problem to be solved, some response to these environmental problems resulting from actions arising from this university environment.
Green style ─ Harvard University
Harvard University in 2000 for "sustainable development "and "green" issues of great importance to proceed with the transformation of many of the campus green action.
One of the most significant of the results of that in its 17 items by up to LEED certification project.
At the same time there are 37 in the certification phase, Harvard University, certified through this experience, the effectiveness of green building and improving the implementation of the steps related to preparation of a "Green Building Policy", hope that through this approach for a sustainable campus within the existing buildings and new buildings into the "low energy" of the target.
Harvard University, founded in 1636, it is the longest in U.S. history, one of the most famous universities, which is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Charles River City. The other side of the river is the city of Boston. Boston, Harvard Medical School in the city.
After three hundred years of development is large-scale Harvard Law School Harvard Business School, School of Government, College of Medicine, and many are of high reputation. Including political, economic, Sociology, medicine, biology, chemistry, biochemistry, physics and many other subjects are world class level.
Green Campus Initiative
1.Green building emissions reduction commitment Commitment from 2006 to 2016 year 30% reduction of greenhouse gases. The three main topics for research and analysis. Respectively, for the "greenhouse gas monitoring and measurement", "energy supply", "renewable energy and carbon offset".
2.The principle of sustainable development Its main task is to research, education and promotion. The sustainability principle is divided into five main principles: "to take measures to improve the utilization of renewable energy", "reduce production waste and hazardous substances",
"strengthen campus ecosystems and increasing the diversity of native species", "permanent establishment and improvement of sustainable development indicators "," Building sustainable planning tools and environmental investigation mechanism" .
