conversations.value: "explains how different disciplines have an environmental impact on a sites. The writers insist that all professionals need to be educated and aware that hazardous products used in a home may affect the health of the people occupying the home or the structural integrity of the building. This book is a great reference about many fundamental issues, the do's and don'ts we should be aware of when dealing with a new site. It shows us how important it is to have a "green" vision when starting a design, and that involving other disciplines in your site approach will create an integrated and sustainable design."

conversations.value: Fundamentals of Integrated Design for Sustainable Building
  The builder will cover some of these principles to a certain degree in the normal course of practice, but many of these concepts require shifts in standard methods. Information on warranties, for example, is typically turned over to the building owner upon completion of construction. With DfD, the contractor should include additional information on maintenance, repair, and future disassembly.
  As mentioned previously, there are financial benefits for the contractor who manages demolition and construction waste wisely.
  In practice, large construction companies track their materials costs and waste-hauling expenses. But to achieve meaningful and measurable landfill diversion and increased recovery rates, the contractor may need to more closely track collection bins, waste-hauler details, donations and material exchanges, weight tags, and the costs involved in each activity. The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Rating System describes a protocol for documenting and calculating diversion rates under its construction waste management credit.
  As part of sound construction practices, contractors are frequently required to produce a written construction waste management plan. Such a plan describes in advance of construction how the contractor intends to proceed with handling the waste generated by the job.
  The builder should describe the types of materials the crew intends to remove and salvage from any existing structures, along with vegetation and dirt or soil on the site. During construction, the building crew will place collection bins for separate waste types and for storage of mixed wastes.

conversations.value: The ratio of the radiant emittance of heat of an object or a surface to that of a standard black body. For building products, thermal emittance measurements are taken for wavelengths in the infrared spectrum. High thermal emittance material radiates heat back into the atmosphere more-readily than one with a low thermal emittance.
  The total energy used in a building, including electricity and other fuels, normalized to its floor area.
  Second-hand smoke, a known carcinogen, responsible for more than 3,000 deaths per year in the United States, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; referring to tobacco smoke that enters the environment and is inhaled by the occupants of that environment; also called "passive smoking."
  A semivolatile organic compound (SVOC) found naturally in the outdoor air, wood products, and forest fires but also occurring in tobacco smoke and automobile exhaust. Formaldehyde is used as an adhesive binder in pressed materials such as composite woods, ceiling tiles made from paper pulp and fiberglass insulation, and often found in consumer goods such as cosmetics; a probable human carcinogen.

conversations.value: Sometimes known as hazardous airborne pollutants (HAPs); chemicals that have low water solubility and high vapor pressure, which means they emit vapors rapidly at room temperature. Volatile organic compounds can emit ground-level smog, and they are components of many wet-applied building products and materials such as paint, adhesives, coatings, sealers, and sealants. Often the first signal of the presence of a VOC is the odor, which lingers in porous material sinks for weeks to months after application. Many VOCs are known or suspected human carcinogens.
  The lowest temperature that can be achieved by evaporating water into the air, converting as much sensible heat to latent heat as possible.
  Also known as stormwater ponds, retention ponds, and wet extended-detention ponds, wet ponds are constructed basins that have a permanent pool of water throughout the year and have an average depth of 4–6 feet. Ponds treat incoming stormwater runoff by settlement and biological uptake.
  An area of land that in some seasons remains saturated with rain or groundwater; intermediate environment connecting terrestrial and aquatic systems.
