Sustainable

Environmentally friendly materials in the construction of sustainable roads and bridges, including recycled materials, low-carbon dioxide (footprint) emissions materials, and renewable energy sources.
Balancing of environmental, social and economic, three sustainability priorities by:

• Being economical in terms of their entire lifetime, including decommissioning, and also considering the effects of user disruption during construction and maintenance.
• Meeting social priorities, considering the construction workers, and the people living near to and using the bridge.
• Minimizing environmental impact in terms of carbon dioxide emissions and embodied energy during fabrication and construction and ensuring as many bridge components as possible are recyclable and preferably reusable at the end of the bridge’s life.

Sustainable architecture is an approach to designing buildings that prioritizes environmental sustainability and social responsibility. It involves creating structures that minimize negative impacts on the environment and maximize positive impacts on occupants and communities.
Buildings are designed with energy efficiency in mind, utilizing green technologies such as solar panels, green roofs, and energy-efficient glazing. Sustainable construction materials and practices are also being adopted to reduce the environmental impact of these structures. New high-rise buildings can be made more sustainable by using locally-sourced materials and a sustainable design during construction. All high-rise buildings can earn a LEED certification proving they are sustainable.

Sustainable electricity encompasses various renewable technologies such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power (. Each of these technologies plays a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting energy efficiency, and ensuring a more stable energy supply.

Sustainable HVAC solutions reduce carbon footprints but also provide cost-effective.
Modern sustainable air conditioning systems include:

• Solar-powered air conditioning that uses panels to collect solar power.
• Geothermal heating and air conditioning systems that utilize energy from the Earth through underground loop piping.
• Hydronic heating.
• Ice-powered air conditioning.
• DeVAP technology.
• Digital ceilings.
• Smart thermostats.
• Recyclable ductwork.
