Description
Green building design has made a huge wave throughout architectural practice around the world in recent years. As architects are more conscious of the impact that construction has on the planet, new technologies and strategies for building are being utilized. Unfortunately, these so called green buildings and especially those certified with LEED standards, are not necessarily sustainable. Sustainability must consider social, environmental, and economic aspects of every project. In order for the design and construction of the built environment to become truly sustainable and stop harming the planet, people must become more educated about true sustainability.
