RUNNING HEAD: ENVIRONMENTAL AND SUSTAINABLE DESIGNEXECUTIVE SUMMARYIn the wake of major developments in environmental protection efforts and sustainability measures, it is becoming evidently clear that these practices are to be incorporated in not just the big structures butall of them. The building in the 2D file is a residential building with 2 floors and an open roof slab that can benefit from a sustainable management plan. The following sustainable management plan hasbeen suggested to reduce carbon emissions, minimize resource consumption and also control the waste generation and management. With these strategies in mind, it is worth noting that, while not all may be applied to this particular building, they are all applicable and it is therefore the developer’s or client’s preference that would matter.i

RUNNING HEAD: ENVIRONMENTAL AND SUSTAINABLE DESIGNOBJECTIVE:The main objective if this Sustainable Management Plan is to produce a building with building with minimum carbon emission, minimum resource consumption and waste generation. The purpose of this coming up with these objectives is to come up with a design that allows for maximum utility of the resources used in the construction and maintenance of the structure with the minimum possible wastage (Barbosa et al., 2012). Wastage in this case would mean disposal costs on a regular basis which comprise of both transportation and dumping ground sites and well as regional waste management wastes. While these may not be too frequent, the waste disposal mechanisms do not guarantee for safe and environmentally friendly disposal and therefore minimizing this waste may be advisable (Friedman, 2007).1
