2. Green Architecture What is Green Architecture?
It is a sustainable method of green building that is environmentally friendly.
It is design and construction with the environment in mind.
“It is a form of healthy living and it also has to reduce the impact on the environment.”

3. Green Architecture Green Rooftops
Just because a structure has a green roof doesn’t make it “green.”
My Professor, Jill, says, “Green architecture is a trend.”

4. Green Architecture
In order to consider being “Green” the structure has to meet many requirements.
Some of these requirements are:
Energy Usage
Water treatment
Heat conservative
Natural lighting

5. Green Architecture
LEED, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, certifications
In order for any structure to be described as Green, they can go through a certification.
This certification is basically a seal so no one can question whether the structure is green.
In order to start the certification progress you need requirements, such as:
Permanent Location
LEED boundaries
Project size

6. Green Architecture LEED Fees
In order to get any structure to be reviewed by LEED there is a registration fee. Most of the
time the fee is $1,200. This is just the beginning, then they charge per SF and per category.
The Categories and prices are:
Design: $2250 < 50,000 SF , $.045/SF = 50, ,000 SF, $22500 > 50,000 SF
Construction: $750 < 50,000 SF , $.015/SF = 50, ,000 SF, $7500 > 50,000 SF
Interior Design: $2250 < 50,000 SF , $.045/SF = 50, ,000 SF, $22500 > 50,000 SF
Interior Construction: $750 < 50,000 SF , $.015/SF = 50, ,000 SF, $7500 > 50,000
Building Operations & Maintenance: Initial and Recertification after 5 years
$2000 < 50,000 SF , $.04/SF = 50, ,000 SF, $20000 > 50,000 SF
Neighborhood Development(Optional):
Depending on the kind of Structure there are:
Homes
Campus
Volume

8. Green Architecture The Brooklyn Navy Yard
The future of sustainable architecture is looking bright for some areas.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard is industrial but at the same time making its way to become
one of the iconic places to visit.
It is aiming to become an engine for job creation and sustainable urban industrial growth.
The ways the Navy Yard tackles its problems of reaching sustainability is interesting.
Starting with:
Water supply
Rain water distribution
Largest Rooftop Farm
Energy Efficiency
Eco-friendly cleaning products
