We are the Sustainability group of Red C, wanting to share this with the rest of the
labs.
This is the break down we are using of the goals of sustainability in residential
homes, inspired by a number of sources, amongst which is one of the pioneers of
modern residential sustainable architecture (so we learned): Steve Glenn:
a.. Zero Energy: Reducing the use of energy and production of needed from
renewable resources.
b.. Zero Water: Reduction of water consumption, and use of greywater.
c.. Zero Emissions: Reduction of emissions of toxic gases inside, and green house
gases to the outside.
d.. Zero Ignorance: Tackling the issue of the inhabitants and their attitude
towards sustainability in the home.
e.. Zero Waste: Minimizing waste generated from construction sites.
f.. Zero Carbon: Making decisions towards the environmental impact of materials to
the environment.
