Sustainable Design Sustainable Materials Building Size Energy Inputs
This is probably my pet topic and I am likely to rave on and bore the visitor
to tears. Let me know if you are thus bored and I will try to make amends,
but also let me know if you need to know more.
The seriousness of the topic to me is summed up in these stats I got from a
web site:
Current building construction and use, world wide accounts for 30% of all raw
materials, 42% of all energy, 25% of water use, 12% of land use, 40% of atmospheric
emissions, 20% of water effluents and 13% of all other releases.
