Environmental Sustainability in Building and Home Design

The rapid depletion of the earth’s natural resources due to the activities of mankind has occasioned an untold level of damage to the ecosystem. Centuries of reckless burning of fossil fuel has altered temperatures which if not urgently addressed can culminate in a serious threat to human existence on the planet. The rapid depletion of the ecosystem can lead to a variety of issues such as increase in health problems, natural disasters and harsh and unpredictable weather conditions. A radical transition towards sustainable living practices must be advocated worldwide and this must necessarily include a range of practices that enhance health and environmental sustainability. The construction industry has a significant role to play in curbing the trend of environmental degradation. For instance, changes to the systems of construction and building operations can go a long way in solving the problem. Construction and building services companies can concentrate on reducing energy usage and reducing construction waste.
