Approaches to Green Building DesignApproaches to Green Building Design:
1. Commercial Business as Usual + Green Initiatives
– Only minor changes to building facade design
– Enhanced building services design & efficiency
– Sustainable construction principles - eg materials,
management, water, metering etc
– Key sustainability initiatives added to increase – Key sustainability initiatives added to increase
performance – eg cogeneration, renewable energy,
blackwater treatment plant
Greening of mainstream project design that relies on
sustainable principles plus major key initiatives

– Facades changed to reduce loads and/or provide
natural ventilation
– Alternative low energy building services designs
– Deeper integration of sustainable construction principles -
eg materials, management, water, metering etceg materials, management, water, metering etc
– Less reliance on key sustainability initiatives to increase
