Soil and landscape conservation
Reduce hard paving on site
Priority: Minimise storm water run-off from the site.
Reason: Avoiding hard paving on the site preserves the top soil
and also aids in
harvesting rain water.
Efficient planning of utilities
Priority: Minimise road and pedestrian walkway lengths.
Reason: Optimising circulation on the site reduces the energy and
materials
spent in the circulation area.
