Sustainable design is an intention, a state of mind,
a way of being at home A sustainable system is a living space which continues by virture of the fact that it does not use up resources faster than they can be naturally replenished. By using more efficient building materials and building methods, and more efficient operating systems in both residential and commercial construction projects, we can reduce consumption and waste production by as much as 60%. The Earth, after all, has finite resources and we each have to do our part. |
