green oringin What is Green Building ?

Green building means a building life cycle (ie production of building materials to the building from the planning, design, construction, use, management and removal of a process), consume the least resources of the earth, at least with minimal waste of energy and manufacturing buildings .

In short: the so-called green building is ecological, energy conservation, waste reduction, healthy building.

Building Excessive concentration of urban population,of man-made environment impervious, poorly ventilated buildings, energy-saving design properly, resulting in energy waste and heat of the urban climate. In order to cope with the hot urban climate, every household is more accelerated with air-conditioning, speed up the heat, causing the city's vicious cycle of more heat.

On the other hand, Taiwan is the world's largest reinforced concrete building where the demand for sand and gravel per year, about five percent of all illegal mining of sand and gravel, resulting in serious soil erosion,destruction of bridges, roads damaged.

Flooding in northern Taiwan, most of the causes of this disaster, over impermeable urban and rural environment, making the earth lost its power of water conservation, making the surface runoff surge easily understood floods.

Objective

Why you are promoting green building?

To ease the problem of urban deterioration in the built environment, environmental protectionoriented "Green Building"is the policy of building the most effective response.

But also to recycling of waste as quickly as possible mechanisms, digestion and construction waste each year.

Waste reduction, mitigation of environmental impact and load. The implementation of the policy, the gradual increase of new buildings must use the ratio of recycled materials.

7

Department for the promotion of green building to alleviate environmental degradation, the greenhouse effect and global warming phenomenon, and in the world has become a trend, China is no exception. Executive Yuan approved in ninety years, "Green Building Promotion Program", is gradually promoting the significance of this work with the times. To consume the least resources, manufacturing waste at least, to achieve the environmental symbiosis, prosperity and sustainable global development.

8

Green Building Label Ministry of the Interior in 1999 to actively promote green building policy, open selection of "Green Building Label"as a sign to promote green building incentives, and green building over the years, research results together into a "green building manual nterpretation and evaluation"as a green Architectural basis for this assessment, but also in "Chinese Architecture Centre" set up "Green Building Committee ", responsible for the selection of the operating Green Building Label.

Sparing effect The daily energy consumption in buildings by air conditioning and lighting account for the largest proportion of electricity in the summer than the air conditioning of buildings about four troughs twelve months, and up to three Zhisi Cheng than electricity for lighting, so from the air conditioning and lighting up Talk about the most effective building energy efficiency. On the other hand the long life of buildings, their energy far better than the cumulative effect of other industrial products. We can even say, building energy-saving design is a national energy policy with the greatest potential to save a part of.

Definition of green building

building on human health and the environment, from better siting, design , Construction, operation, maintenance, and removal of this building throughout the full life cycle.

Green building or green building (Green Building), is the practical use of resources to improve the buildings (energy, water, and materials) and efficiency while reducing the

13

Similar to the concept of natural building (Natural Building), is used for smaller proportion of normal, and tend to focus on the desirability of the use of local materials used. Other common terms include sustainable design (sustainable design), and green building (green architecture)

Nine indicators

Biodiversity

What is biodiversity ?

The so-called "biological diversity" system is taken into consideration the "ecological pyramid" the most basic level of biological survival, which is the preservation of earthworms, ants, bacteria, fungi of the decomposers, producers of flowers and trees of green plants and beetles, butterflies, dragonflies, mantis, frogs of the more junior biological consumers living space. Many people talked about ecology in the past, thought it was going to protect the black-faced spoonbill, Taiwan macaque, or the deer and other animal 15

patterns, not knowing that life in our corner of the crevice under the toad, centipede, or longer than the moss on a dead tree Mushroom are contributing to the ecological aspect.However, the only way to ensure that these grass-roots sound ecological environment in order to make advanced biological basis of food rich in order to promote bio-diversity environment.

The purpose of biological diversity The main purpose of this indicator is to enhance the development of a large base of

16

quality green space, with particular emphasis gene flow path of the green bio-ecological network system. This indicator encourages the ecological ponds, pools, river banks to create a high density of aquatic ecosystems to the environment and the porous multi-layer interference from man-made eco-green to create a small bio-diverse habitats, both native plants , Induced trap birds butterfly plants, planting of species diversity, topsoil protection to create rich bio-based disk.

17

Simple evaluation method of biological diversity indicators

Indicators of biological diversity refers to the large area of habitat and activities of the exchange of the base plate, it applies only to the development of large base assessment. In view of this, more than being provided a base size of 1 hectare only applicable to this indicator, the base is less than 1 hectare of the supervision from acceptance of this indicator. Detailed assessment of the methods published in the building industry, see the "interpretation and evaluation of the Green Building Manual " content requirements.

18

Green Index What is green quantity indicators ?

The so-called "green volume indicator " is the use of the natural soil base, and building roofs, balconies, facades, artificial turf of the casing layer to the way various types of plants planted.

The purpose of greening targets Green is a modern living environment the most important indicator of quality, greening of the urban and rural planning is not difficult to flaunt the "sustainable development " quality of living. If we are

planting trees and flowers in the living environment, not only builds character, while promoting soil microbial activity, on the ecological 19

environment of great help.

Green was recognized as the only way to absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide, the best strategy to help alleviate the growing global climate warming crisis.

Therefore, this indicator hoping to plant as a fixed effect on the assessment unit of carbon dioxide, produced by encouraging more green oxygen, absorb carbon dioxide, air purification, and thus to ease the urban phenomenon of climate warming, promoting biodiversity and beautify the environment.

20

Green indicators and benchmarks

Over the past building regulations to encourage green city, with green cover, tree planting, planting density requirements. But they are usually covering depth, tree diameter, Qiao Lin to specify the number of green volume, in addition to be found on the trees outside, the shrubs, vines, grass and other green building three-dimensional, diverse amount of green there is no specific evaluation of environmental contributions,the rational conversion

between the various planting also lacking. In fact, the green environmental protection for the largest contribution to the earth, than the use of plant photosynthesis to fix carbon dioxide in the air, and then can reduce the temperature of the Earth's climate. Therefore, the evaluation system on the greening of the assessment to the fixed effect of carbon dioxide as a green assessment of the common law conversion units.

According to study botany, plant photosynthesis is

21

proportional to the amount of leaf area and plant, so the leaf area index in accordance with, the plant is divided into seven categories to assess the level of carbon dioxide fixed effects.This data is based on photosynthesis in leaves under warm climate of the experimental data, analysis of carbon dioxide derived from the fixed effects. The data represent a plant in the urban environment into a tree from seedling to grow to 40 years (that is, the standard value of the building life cycle), the carbon dioxide fixed per square meter of green space effects.

Soil Water What is water retention ?

Base refers to the building site water retention properties of natural soil and artificial soil and water conservation capacity of rainwater storage facilities.

Base of the better water retention, water conservation capacity of the better bases, good for soil microbial activity, improve soil and nourish plants organic quality, maintenance building located within the natural ecological balance.

The purpose of water retention

Past the building site environment to develop is often used impermeable pavement design, resulting in land loss of good water absorption,permeability, water retention, less nourishing plants and water evaporation latent heat capacity, can not play a land of natural climate regulation function, or even 22

even lead to the living environment increasingly high temperature of " Urban heat island effect. " In the past the concept of urban flood control, and hope that the building as quickly as possible to the base adjacent to the stormwater discharge to the municipal public sewer or drainage system, resulting in a great city the burden of public drainage facilities, the formation of low-lying areas to the heavy rain that flooded every dilemma. Green building "base water indicators " that is, by promoting broad-based design and permeable infiltration of diluting the pool based approach to promote the ability of the earth water cycle, improve the ecological environment, regulate micro-climate, hot climate to ease urban phenomenon.

23

Daily energy

What is the daily energy conservation ?

The life cycle of buildings up to five or six decades, from the building materials production, construction and transportation, daily use, maintenance, and dismantling the various stages, are consuming a lot of energy, particularly in long-term use of air-conditioning, lighting, elevators Accounted for the largest part of the daily energy consumption, etc..

As air-conditioning and lighting energy consumption in total energy consumption accounted for most of the building, green building, "the daily energy-saving targets, " that is, air conditioning and lighting energy consumption as the main assessment of the object at the same time, the "daily energy index " is defined as the peak summer period Air-conditioning system and lighting system, integrated power efficiency.

24

Daily energy savings The daily energy consumption in buildings by air conditioning and lighting account for the largest proportion of electricity in the summer than the air conditioning of buildings about four troughs twelve months, and up to three Zhisi Cheng than electricity for lighting, so from the air conditioning and lighting up Talk about the most effective building energy efficiency. On the other hand the long life of buildings, their energy far better than the cumulative effect of other industrial products. We can even say, building energy-saving design is a national energy policy with the greatest potential to save a part of.

25

Carbon dioxide reduction What is carbon dioxide reduction targets ?

The so-called CO2 reduction targets, but refers to the physical structure of the building materials of all buildings (not including utilities, electrical and mechanical equipment, indoor and outdoor decorating project materials), used in the production process and the conversion of energy out of CO2 emissions.

The purpose of reduction of carbon dioxide To the issue of global climate temperature is currently the most pressing global environmental issues. 1992 "Earth Summit"develop "Global Climate Change Convention, "1998 "Kyoto Protocol", nations are all actively working carbon dioxide emissions reductions.Past the domestic construction industry to adopt high energy consumption, high pollution, structural design, environmental destruction on Earth is very large, new buildings in Taiwan, 95% for reinforced concrete structures, in addition to 80% per year from illegal mining of river sand and high consumption Addition to the energy production of cement. Future removal of the dissolution of concrete construction, the abandoned cement physical, earth and stone, brick and difficult to recycle, resulting in a great load of the environment, so the planning must be designed and constructed the building improvements to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

26

Waste Reduction What is Waste Reduction ? In view of this "waste

reduction targets " to The so-called waste refers waste, air pollution to the process of construction reduction and resource and subsequent removal of recycling capacity of the works produced by uneven indicators to promote earth, spoil, waste building cleaner, more materials, such as fugitive environmentally dust enough to damage the friendly construction for surrounding environment the purpose of health and human health construction, in order to The purpose of waste reduce the environmental reduction targets impact of building Taiwan reinforced concrete development, and reduce buildings, per square meter The development of of floor generated during resistance to public the construction phase of buildings, thereby about 1.8 kg of dust, harmful enhancing the quality of to human health greatly. living environment.

Middle of residential buildings during the construction phase of about 0.14 cubic meters of solid waste generated in the future the removal phase of about 1.23 cubic meters of solid waste generated, resulting in a large number of waste disposal burden.

27

indicators of indoor environment The purpose of the indoor environmental indicators

What indicators of indoor environment ?

The so-called "indicators of indoor environment, " mainly in the assessment of indoor environment, noise, lighting, ventilation, interior decoration, indoor air quality ... and so on, affect the health and comfortable living environment factors, hoping to draw people attention to indoor environmental quality, and Reduce indoor air pollution damage to the enhancement of life health.

28

The "indoor environmental indicators " to sound environment, light environment, ventilation and interior decoration materials as the main part of the assessment of the four objects. Especially in the interior decoration, the encouragement to minimize the amount of interior decoration, and as far as possible with the health mark green building materials, to reduce the emission of harmful air pollutants, but also requires low pollution, low fugitive, the use of recyclable Building design.

indicators of water resources Improvement of sewage and What indicators of water resources ? garbage The so-called "water indicator" What is to improve the indicators of sewage waste

means the actual use of the building's water consumption and the general average water consumption rate, also known as "water-saving rate." The water assessment, including kitchen, bathroom, faucets and rain water use efficiency assessment, assessment of water reuse.

Objective indicators of water resources

Water past the poorly designed buildings, water and low water use habits of poor people, makes people high water. In 1990 the average water consumption in Taiwan is 350 liters / (day * person), there are many water saving space. Future Earth environmental requirements, building water-saving potential of becoming a national co-design issue. The index hopes to active use of rainwater mixed with the life of the recycled water method (open source), and actively used in building design water-saving devices (throttle), to achieve the purpose of water conservation.

This indicator focuses on the construction of space facilities and the use of specific assessment projects related to the management, is a service that allows owners and users on a specific control in the environment and improve health indicators for evaluation.

The purpose of improving the indicators of sewage waste

Sewage treatment facilities for the adjuvant function, the index for miscellaneous drainage piping system of life involved in testing and evaluation, to confirm the complex life of the drainage into the sewage system.

In addition, the indicators also would like to request a formal emphasis on architectural design landscape space design of waste disposal to improve quality of living environment.
