TYPICAL GREEN BUILDING GUIDELINE ISSUES

Energy efficiency and renewable energy (Enerji verimliliği ve yenilebilir enerji)
– Building orientation to take advantage of solar access, shading, and natural lighting
– Effects of micro-climate on building
– Thermal efficiency of building envelope and fenestration
– Properly sized and efficient heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system
– Alternative energy sources
– Minimization of electric loads from lighting, appliances, and equipment
– Utility incentives to offset costs
Direct and indirect environmental impact: (Doğrudan ve dolaylı çevrenin etkisi)
– Integrity of site and vegetation during construction
– Use of integrated pest management
– Use of native plants for landscaping
– Minimization of disturbance to the watershed and additionalnon-point-source pollution
– Effect of materials choice on resource depletion and air and water pollution
– Use of indigenous building materials
– Amount of energy used to produce building materials
Resource conservation and recycling (Kaynakların korunumu ve geri dönüşümü)
– Use of recyclable products and those with recycled material content
– Reuse of building components, equipment, and furnishings
– Minimization of construction waste and demolition debris through reuse and recycling
– Easy access to recycling facilities for building occupants
– Minimization of sanitary waste through reuse of graywater and water-saving devices
– Use of rainwater for irrigation
– Water conservation in building operations
– Use of alternative wastewater treatment methods
Indoor environmental quality (İç ortam hava kalitesi)
– Volatile organic compound content of building materials
– Minimization of opportunity for microbial growth
– Adequate fresh air supply
– Chemical content and volatility of maintenance and cleaning materials
– Minimization of business-machine and occupant pollution sources
– Adequate acoustic control
– Access to daylight and public amenities
Community issues (Bölgesel sorunlar)
– Access to site by mass transit and pedestrian or bicycle paths
– Attention to culture and history of community
– Climatic characteristics as they affect design of building or building materials
– Local incentives, policies, regulations that promote green design
– Infrastructure in community to handle demolition-waste recycling
– Regional availability of environmental products and expertise
