Parameters
The measures that need to be taken to make a green building can be distributed over
three different phases of construction. These are:
- Measures taken before construction
- Site selection
- Soil and landscape conservation
- Health and well being
- Conservation and efficient utilisation of energy and resources
- Waste management.
- Measures taken during construction
- Soil and landscape conservation
- Conservation and efficient utilisation of energy and resources
- Waste management
- Health and well-being
- Measures taken to maintain the building during operation. However, there are some genuine overlaps between steps taken before and during construction.
