The proposed NJDEP stormwater management rule changes focus on requiring green infrastructure (GI) to meet standards for water quality, recharge, and quantity. A tiered GI approach is proposed, using decentralized GI like rain gardens and bioretention as the primary treatment, and larger centralized GI as secondary treatment. Tables 5-1, 5-2, and 5-3 identify specific GI BMPs and their performance standards. The rule proposes accounting for all GI contributions and allowing routing based on infiltration rates. It also allows reduced curve number modeling for non-infiltration GI. Municipalities and applicants would have one year to update ordinances and designs, and engineers would receive training.Sustainable Practice Targets - an overview

Green buildings aim to reduce environmental impact through sustainable design and construction practices. LEED certification is a point-based rating system that evaluates buildings in several categories like energy efficiency, water conservation, materials selection, and indoor air quality. While some think green buildings are more expensive, studies show the average premium is less than 2% of costs while savings from reduced electricity and water usage offset increased costs within the first year. Various LEED certification programs exist for new and existing buildings including schools, focusing on factors like sustainable sites, water and energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality.NORWAY BREEM: INTRODUCTION AND CASE STUDY

In Norway, the most common sustainability certification system for buildings is called "BREEAM NOR." BREEAM NOR stands for Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method for Norway.
BREEAM NOR is based on the internationally recognized BREEAM system but has been adapted to suit Norwegian building practices, regulations, and environmental conditions. It assesses the environmental performance of buildings across various categories, such as energy, water, materials, waste, pollution, and health and well-being.
Similar to other BREEAM schemes, BREEAM NOR provides a framework for evaluating and rating the sustainability of buildings. It aims to promote environmentally friendly and energy-efficient building practices, reduce the environmental impact of buildings, and improve the overall quality of the built environment in Norway.
BREEAM NOR assessments are typically conducted by licensed assessors who evaluate buildings against the BREEAM NOR criteria. Buildings can achieve different certification levels based on their performance, ranging from Pass, Good, Very Good, Excellent, and Outstanding.
By encouraging sustainable building practices and providing recognition for environmentally responsible projects, BREEAM NOR plays a crucial role in advancing sustainability in the Norwegian construction industry and contributing to national and international sustainability goals.Green building concepts and good building practices

They are needed because buildings are globally responsible for a large portion of energy, water, and materials consumption as well as greenhouse gas emissions. Green building practices aim to reduce these environmental impacts by conserving natural resources like water and energy while generating less waste and pollution. They also provide cost savings through efficient energy and water use as well as health benefits for occupants.Green building technology

This document provides an overview of green building technology. It defines green building as environmentally-conscious construction that uses less energy, water and resources and creates less waste. Green building technology covers features like geothermal heating and energy-efficient appliances. The key objectives of green building include protecting occupant health, improving productivity, conserving resources, reducing carbon footprint, and achieving better indoor air quality. Materials selection is an important part of green building, focusing on criteria like resource efficiency, energy efficiency, affordability, recyclability, and water conservation. Green buildings provide benefits like reduced costs, energy conservation, improved health, and increased productivity.Sustainablity and Green buildings.pdf

The document discusses the construction industry and sustainability. It notes that construction contributes significantly to GDP and job opportunities but also has major impacts on the environment, including 50% of energy usage, materials extraction, waste generation, and air and water pollution. It then discusses sustainability certification systems like LEED and BREEAM and outlines the categories assessed by the Green Pyramid Rating System in Egypt, such as sustainable sites, energy efficiency, water efficiency, and indoor environmental quality.

The document discusses the need for sustainable construction practices, known as green buildings, in Lagos, Nigeria. It outlines how traditional building practices negatively impact the environment through energy use, air and water pollution, and waste. Green buildings aim to reduce these environmental impacts through efficient energy and water use, renewable materials, and reducing waste. The first LEED-certified commercial building in Nigeria is highlighted as an example. The document argues that adopting green building standards and certification systems, updating building codes, training professionals, and integrating green practices into government policy can help promote sustainability in the construction sector in Lagos.Green Building Basics

Green building refers to designing, constructing, and renovating buildings in a way that prioritizes human and environmental health. It begins with an integrated design process where architects, engineers, and owners collaborate to optimize efficiency, functionality, and minimize negative impacts. Elements of green building include site selection, energy efficiency, water conservation, sustainable materials selection, and indoor environmental quality. Green building has grown significantly in recent years and provides economic and environmental benefits by reducing energy and water usage and waste.A Presentation on GRIHA

Can the green energy dream power Australia's future industries?
Can the green energy dream power Australia's future industries?University of Canberra

Australia's energy policy for heavy industries such as steel production are based on storing renewable energy as green hydrogen. However, steel production is energy intensive and green hydrogen is proving to be difficult to commercialise, let alone produce, store, and transport. The renewable energy link to Indonesia and Singapore, based on the plan for the Australian Renewable Energy Hub in the Pilbara, has been replaced by the idea that green hydrogen can be converted to green ammonia for transportation, and converted back to hydrogen on the other side. Again, the process is energy intensive. Add to the energy demands that will be created by data centres and artificial intelligence, the scaling up of energy production is unlikely to be met without nuclear. The green energy dream is unlikely to materialise and is proving unworkable.Environmental Responsibility at Bacardi
