Introduction
It is a fact that good and environment friendly practices cannot be denied is in accordance with
the most effective economic practice. Various measures and aspects regarding the minimization
of the consumption of energy and the water consumption will have enhanced and increased
benefits for the nature and environment. This will also result in making substantial savings in
terms of the financial costs throughout the entire lifetime of any infrastructure. The costs of the
consumption of water are most probably to increase at a higher rate in comparison to the RPI in
the future years as the natural resources continue to get reduced. Moreover, there has been
increase in the environmental regulations and controls in respect to utility companies.
According to the previous assignment, it has been mentioned that the notion of the environment
friendly buildings have been promoted for many years (Balters & Steinert, 2015). It has also
been observed that many individuals have misunderstandings and misconceptions regarding the
green buildings which are basically the environment friendly buildings. Most of the people
perceive the green buildings to be infrastructures like buildings to be surrounded by many trees.
It can also be stated that the some people consider the green buildings to have positive
implications on the environment. These aspects have been very clearly stated in the previous
assignment in context of the actual meaning of the environment friendly buildings.
The exact meaning of the environment friendly buildings has been very elaborately depicted in
the previous assignment. It has been stated that the environment friendly buildings are required
to be built with the objective of preservance of the natural environment surrounding the buildings
(Di Martino, et al., 2014). The environment friendly buildings are also built with the intention of
no occurrence of any disruptions to the natural resources such as water, land, and energy present
around the infrastructure. The promotion of a very healthy and clean environment for all the
people that are involved in the construction of the environment friendly buildings has been
depicted as one of the objectives of the project.
The case of the environment friendly building in the previous assignment which is named The
Crystal has been taken into analysis. The building is stated to be situated in London and
designed by Siemens in 2012. The main reason due to which the construction of this building
was on debate was regarding the need of sustainable living and development (Filby, 2013). The
infrastructure was observed to function as an effective platform in the form of a museum that

5
facilitated and operated as a platform for the education about urban living. It also served as a
venue for the conduction of discussion about the ways in which individuals live in urban areas
like cities and the types of struggles that these people have to op through on a daily basis. The
Crystal also served as a platform for the assisting the demonstration of the manner in which
green houses assist in providing a balance in the quality of environment, life and economy
(Geddie, 2013).
Preliminary design
The preliminary design phase of any type of system engineering design refers to the
development and meaning of the contextual system and needs of the structuring of environment
friendly buildings. It was observed that the preliminary design of the environment friendly
buildings occurs right after the analysis of the feasibility and appraisals of the options and post
briefing of the construction of environment friendly buildings. Preliminary design is stated in
accordance to the environment friendly buildings in regards to the initiation of the design and the
completion of the overall project (Inagaki, et al., 2013).
The description of the manner and methods along with the stages of the construction project will
be conducted in regards to the completion of the construction of the environment friendly
buildings. The structuring of the environment friendly buildings right from the preliminary stage
of design starts with the outlining of the issues for which the project proposal has been structured
(Keating, 2014). The construction of the buildings is a very common thing in all around the
world and the fact cannot be denied that the construction of such infrastructure is increasing at a
rapid rate. This has been causing many varieties of negative effects on the environment at large.
It was further noted that Siemens has recognized these issues and materialized the decision
regarding the construction of the environment friendly buildings that is otherwise known as
green building which can resolve such issues.
The costs associated with the construction of the green buildings are also structured in the
preliminary design phase. It has been observed that various methods of the preliminary design of
the structuring of the green buildings arise from the need of the infrastructure in regards to
stopping the degradation of the environment (Kehoe, et al., 2015). The specification that are
integrated in the construction of the environment friendly buildings integrates the technical,

6
operational, performance and support characteristics of the infrastructure project. Such aspects
associate to the design phase of the construction at the sub-system level. The benefits of the
construction project of the environment friendly buildings in the context to the cost effectiveness
and the impacts on the environment are described in the preliminary phase of the structuring of
the environment friendly buildings (Lee, Hwang & Yoe, 2013).
Detailed design and development
The detailed design and development phase of the cycle of life in the structuring of the detailed
design and development phase have been very well analyzed and depicted to be a continuation
process if the improvement of the approaches of construction of the buildings. It has also been
observed that the phase of detailed design and development in regards to the construction of the
green buildings integrates the developments of the needs of the designs of all the factors at the
individual construction level. It also integrates the required activities which are related to the
environmental and technological aspects of the obtainment of the objectives of the construction
of the green buildings or environment friendly buildings (Romanovsky & Thomas, 2013).
Various elements and the activities related to the integration of the concerns of the environment
along with the engineering and science of construction have been conducted in the detailed
design and development phase of the construction project. At this stage of the construction of
the environment friendly buildings, alterations on the format and other components of the
construction project are integrated in this stage (Xie, et al., 2014). The evaluation of this phase is
carried out in the previous assignment that is focused around the analysis of the Crystal that also
includes different steps like architecture, specifications, preparations of the schedule and
strategies of planning in regards to the construction project and the costs estimation. It also
includes the strategies and procurement of the completion of the different phases (Sayyar, et al.,
2014).
It is further observed that the features and components of the Crystal was assessed in regards to
the energy generation by utilizing the natural light, solar panel, reduction in the carbon
emission, controls on the heating of the infrastructure and the facilitation of the hot water to the
whole building by the optimal use of the solar thermal energy. The technical feasibility has
been incorporated in the assignment which refers to the technical features related to the

7
construction of the green building like the storage of the water from the rain by the approach of
rain water harvesting, energy generation and effective use of the natural light in the building
(Seruggia & Montoliu, 2014).
The components lie the incorporation of the equipments such as solar panels for the electricity
generation, the construction of the underground reservoirs for the storage of water, use of the
ground source of heat pumps have been referred in the assignment. The specification regarding
the availability of the machinery and technical components which are needed according to the
aims of the construction project of environment friendly buildings integrated with the technical
features is very clearly stated (Seruggia & Montoliu, 2014).
The ADDIE Model is very much appropriate in the analysis in this context. It can be denoted as
a generic process which is suitable for the individuals who strategies in structuring of
environment friendly buildings. The phases of the ADDIE model relates to the analysis, design,
development, implementation, and evaluation which is very much in resonance with the stages of
the construction of the environment friendly buildings (Seruggia & Montoliu, 2014).
System test, evaluation & validation, and optimization
These aspects relates to the assessments of the green buildings in environmental and technical
aspects. It also integrates the maintenance of the green buildings that are stated in regards to
long-term functionality of the environment friendly buildings (Shi, et al., 2015). The testing and
evaluation along with the validation process denotes to the assessment of the technical
performance along with the ensuring of the specification and functionality of the features (Tapia
& Elwany, 2014).
The human factors play a significant role on the structuring of the environment friendly
buildings. People need to be aware and accept the concept of the environment friendly buildings
with realistic perception (Shugart, 2013). The functional analysis divides the entire structuring
of the constructing system in various functional elements. The ways in which the elements are
needed to be conducted are described. This aspect would integrate the usage of the solar panels
for the generation of electricity and the structuring of the underground reservoirs for the rain
water storage and the minimization of the carbon emission by the utilization of the natural fuels

8
instead of fossil fuels. The requirements of the function and the system of the green buildings
have been observed to be crucial.
Conclusion
The significance of the design process and the conduction of the different stages of the project
design that in this scenario is the structuring of the green buildings are elaborated in this
assignment. The notion of the environment friendly buildings can provide the resolution to
different issue of environment is elaborate din the paper.
