Environmental Management for Sustainable Development 2
Abstract
The intention of the sustainable design is to remove the environmental impacts through
the sensitive environment. It needs the renewable resources and connect people with the natural
environment. In this research paper, sustainable development plan is given on how the buildings
can be designed to reduce the rate of consumed energy, water efficiency in terms of water reuse
and collection. Also energy efficiency is explained on how a building can minimize the energy
by the use of renewables sources of energy like solar, wind, and geothermal. Buildings of low
carbon emissions are being promoted since they release very little or no carbon to the
atmosphere hence promoting green economy by being environmental friendly.

Environmental Management for Sustainable Development 4
INTRODUCTION
The sustainable development plan details the initiatives of the designs adopted to reduce
the impacts of environment. Sustainable architecture attempt to reduce the impact of
environment during the process of construction, production of the buildings components, and
lifecycle of the building. This designs emphasizes on the efficiency of the cooling and the
heating systems, alternative energy sources such as the hot water solar, good siting of the
building, recycled and reused materials, rainwater harvesting and green roofs that filter and
control the runoff of the storm water.
Objectives
 To minimize the carbon emissions which implies that the embodied carbon of material
construction and the emission of carbon from the construction and wastes are the offset
by the use of renewable energy
 To minimize the construction materials which represents the maximum use of the
recycled materials
 To minimize the usage of water daily
 To minimize the generation of wastes represented by the effective measures of wastes
