	Green design - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Green design (also referred to as "sustainable design", "eco-design", or "design for environment") is the catch-all term for a growing trend within the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, engineering, industrial design and interior design.
		Green design is often viewed as a necessary tool for achieving sustainability.
		Green design is a reaction to the global "environmental crisis", i.e., rapid growth of economic activity and human population, depletion of natural resources, damage to ecosystems and loss of biodiversity

	WBDG: Extensive Green Roofs
		Green roofs are divided into two categories: 1) extensive green roofs, which are 6 inches or shallower and are frequently designed to satisfy specific engineering and performance goals, and 2) intensive green roofs, which may become quite deep and merge into more familiar on-structure plaza landscapes with promenades, lawn, large perennial plants, and trees.
		Green roofs can absorb a portion of the sound that otherwise bounces off hard roofing surfaces At the Frankfurt International Airport, green roofs were employed successfully as a means of sound abatement along new runway approaches.
		Green roofs can be designed in conjunction with solar panels and also work very well in combination with other 'low-impact' development measures, such as infiltration beds, rain gardens, bioretention systems, cisterns and rain barrels.

	Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design - green design
		Green design's aim is to prevent the environmental damage inherent in traditional processes of building or remodeling.
		By integrating considerations for sustainability with principles of aesthetics, function and comfort, green design enables professional designers to make sustainability possible and attractive by creating spaces that are as comfortable as they are healthy, energy and resource efficient, functional and aesthetically pleasing, and by promoting the well-being of their occupants as well as the earth.
		Students apply their green design knowledge and skills in a variety of projects including the design of a sustainable home and the redesign of an existing commercial structure to meet LEED standards.

	Arizona State University
		Arizona State University is committed to design buildings and facilities with sustainability, energy conservation and environmentally sensitive "green design" under the LEED building concepts.
		There are many different conceptions of green or sustainable building design due to the large scope of sustainable issues and the novelty of sustainable principles.
		Green building design includes all players in the development process, from the design team (building owners, architects, engineers and consultants), the construction team (materials manufacturers, contractors, and waste haulers), maintenance staff and building occupants.

	Why Green Design?
		Green design is one of the ways we can limit our impact on the world's systems.
		Justifications for green design are plentiful, but are summarized below as related to Environment, Health, and Children's Rights.
		As exhibit designers and builders, we have to be even more careful about the choices we make on behalf of young audiences.

		Green design begins early enough to affect the decision to build and (if yes) the decision to locate a building in a particular site.
		The architect or design consultant should be selected on the basis of a RFP and selection process which explicitly calls for green design credentials and capabilities.
		Your architect may wish to strengthen his or her green design capabilities by hiring a sub-consultant with specific expertise in daylighting, energy modeling, green materials selection, etc. The green design process can be enhanced in other ways as well.

	Green Design
		The application of green design involves a particular framework for considering environmental issues, the application of relevant analysis and synthesis methods, and a challenge to traditional procedures for design and manufacturing.
		The challenge of green design is to alter conventional design and manufacturing procedures to incorporate environmental considerations systematically and effectively.
		Changing design procedures is particularly difficult because designers face many conflicting objectives, uncertainties, and a work environment demanding speed and cost effectiveness.

	Green Buildings \| US EPA
		The design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal of buildings takes enormous amounts of energy, water, and materials, and generates large quantities of waste, air and water pollution, as well as creating stormwater runoff and heat islands.
		Green or sustainable building is the practice of creating healthier and more resource-efficient models of construction, renovation, operation, maintenance, and demolition.
		Research and experience increasingly demonstrate that when buildings are designed and operated with their lifecycle impacts in mind, they can provide great environmental, economic, and social benefits.

	Green is More Than Just a Name
		At Green Design Furniture, we believe that being environmentally responsible is simply the right thing to do, one, because it is so perfectly logical and two, because it's simply good business.
		Design products, buildings and services to function in an environmentally friendly manner are equally important for determining whether it is truly 'green'.
		The 'green' design does not cause physical harm, consumes less energy, is engineered for quality and durability so it lasts longer with less maintenance, and is engineered for reuse or recycling.

	green@work magazine - Between Blue and Yellow
		But in this issue’s cover story, Diane Greer reports that an increasing number of healthcare institutions are using green design not only to improve workplace performance and keep in line with the growing shift toward sustainability in business practices, but also to improve their patients’ health and recovery time.
		The concept of green building certainly got the attention of Perkins+Will, an architecture and design firm that joined with a handful of other companies tired of sitting around waiting for the perfect green project.
		The fact is, while the businesses and hospitals and universities that are ahead of the curve in sustainable design are most certainly the leaders of innovation in their respective sectors, they are simply following the very thing that drove the desire to have these healthy, day-lit, nature-inspiring areas in the first place—basic human nature.

		Green Communities offers Charrette Grants for up to $5,000 to assist housing developers with integrating green building systems in their developments and engage in a serious discussion of green design possibilities, Enterprise will award planning grants to affordable housing developers to coordinate green charrettes.
		Green Charrettes and sustainability training sessions (collectively referred to here as charrettes) offer affordable housing developers the opportunity to green affordable residential developments at two stages: during the schematic design phase and after occupancy.
		We believe that an integrated approach to the design of affordable residential communities is essential to assuring that the development responds to its environment, the cultural context of the existing neighborhood, the needs of the residents, and economic realities.

	Green Design Conference 2002: Circleville Farm
		Richard's pedagogical model is an alternative scheme to the traditional plan of dense habitations that would have obliterated open space and the ambiance of the farm.
		Richard envisions a green design that emphasizes preservation of green space by pushing any development out to the land's edges, forming a circle of homes.
		Additionally, buildings would be in-ground--utilizing theories of sustainability and "green" architecture in their construction--and would blend with the existing land contours: thereby preserving the bulk of the farm's open space and interfereing as little as possible with the land's natural state.
