THE PRINCIPLES OF ECOLOGICAL BUILDING AND DESIGN
Ecological Principles
1. Building materials should be as much as possible from renewable or non-depletable resources,
be recyclable and durable;
2. Building materials should not contribute to environmental problems in their production,
installation, demolition and disposal;
3. Building materials are best sourced locally to avoid excessive transportation;
4. Construction should minimize waste and unnecessary packaging;
5. Building design should consider efficient energy use and the use of renewable and self-
generated energy sources;
6. Building design should consider efficient water use and environmentally friendly and self-
sufficient waste water disposal;
7. The landscape design around a building needs to consider principles of sustainable and
environmentally friendly use.
