Discuss three (3) health benefits that accrue from following green design principles.

Answer 1

Answer : The three (3) health benefits that accrue from following green design principles are :

• Better Health : Green design principles improve the water and air quality within the building structures, as well as improve the productivity of all their occupants.
• Greater Efficiency : When a building is based upon green design, it becomes much more energy efficient and very less ventilation, heating and air conditioning equipments are necessary.Since cooling and heating of the air almost accounts for about roughly half of a building's total energy expenditure,therefore this improves the efficiency which in turn reduces the operating costs significantly.
• Less Waste : One of the most simplest way by which green architecture produces very less waste is by opting for renewable materials, such as sustainable lumber, plant matter and/or reusing the traditional materials, such as recycled metal or stone.
