GREEN and SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS

Figure 12.1 LEED Green Buildings

LEAD-IN

1 Match the columns:

1) nanotechnology a) describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time, a necessary precondition for human well-being.

2) sustainability b) provides building owners and operators with a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.

3) green building c) deals with dimensions and tolerances of less than 100 nanometres, especially the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules.

4) LEED d) refers to a structure and using process that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition.

2 Explain how the following words and expressions are connected with “green building”:

nanotechnology, sustainable, environmentally friendly, self-cleaning coatings, energy-saving production, air purification, lower water consumption.
