    The Practice of Integration

    Main Textbook
    Yudelson J., Green Building Through Integrated Design

    Prof. Ahmed Abu Al Haija


    Acc. Year / 2022-2023
    We can’t rely on superior design talent alone to get superior
    results. That’s why the integrated design process is so
    important.
    Effective integrated design can produce significant innovations and
    cost savings simultaneously.
    High-Performance Building Characteristics
    • A green building is one that considers and then
    reduces its impact on the environment and
    human health. A green building uses considerably
    less energy and water than a conventional
    building, has fewer site impacts and generally
    higher levels of indoor air quality. It also accounts
    for some measure of the life-cycle impact of
    building materials, furniture and furnishings.
    These benefits result from better site
    development practices; design and construction
    choices; and the cumulative effects of operation,
    maintenance, removal, and possible reuse of
    building materials and systems.

    Sustainable site: Erosion and Sedimentation control
    From google I can found explanations, for example:
    Erosion Control is the process whereby the potential for erosion is minimized; and. Sediment
    control is the process whereby the potential for eroded soil being. transported and/or deposited
    beyond the limits of the construction site is minimized.

    How can you prevent sedimentation? •


    Remove sediment from the channel frequently. Line the channel with erosion control mats or turf •
    to prevent soil erosion, or use check dams constructed from sand or gravel-filled bags.
    Uncontaminated stormwater from the channel should discharge to the stormwater system
    Indoor Air Quality
    What is a good IAQ score?
    The greater the AQI value, the greater the health concern or air pollution
    is. The level to protect the public's health, determined by the
    Environmental Protection Agency EPA, is 100 — 50 distinguishes good air
    quality and anything over 300, is represented as hazardous
