Five systems that describe how a building is built Taken from “How Buildings Learn” by Stuart Brand

Green Building Characteristics

Materials Selection example o oriented strand board

foundations framing sheathing ext finish flooring Materials Comparisons

finishes insulation roofing

BEING GREEN IS NOT ENOUGH o FIRST COST o LIFE CYCLE COST o CODE COMPLIANCE o OPERATING REQUIREMENTS o MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS o TECHNOLOGY o AVAILABILITY o CONSTRUCTABILITY

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING  YOU WILL HAVE TO SPEND TIME AND RESEARCH AN EVER GROWING NUMBER OF PRODUCTS AND BUILDING TECHNIQUES  NOW YOU HAVE A TOOL
