GreenStructure consults on the use and recycling of
natural resources for sustainable, cost-effective developments. |
- Sub floor pipes circulate hot water heated by thermal recovery
techniques from refrigeration systems
- Trees for shade to reduce building temperature
- Solar cells installed on the rooftop convert sunlight into power
- Use of sunlight for internal heating
- Condensate is collected from A/C lines and used for irrigation
- Green roof to reduce heat through evapotranspirative process
- Natural green screens on building walls create oxygen, reduce
heat and create natural habitats
- Bird Boxes
- Use of white reflective roofs to reduce energy consumption
- Optimized air flow patterns from air conditioning ducts
- Rainwater from the rooftop is collected and stored for use in
landscape irrigation
- Green parking lots that allow rainwater to be absorbed using
a porous paving system
- Installation of a park and walking trails
- Undeveloped land set aside for green space
- Graded landscape for stormwater management
- Bioswales or landscaped ditches/ponds to collect and treat rainwater
and provide natural habitats
- Water conserving landscaping
- Bioretention areas
- Use of wetlands, if available
- Hot water is generated from refrigeration units and used for
space heating or wash rooms
- Recycling of building wastes such as scrap paper or oil
