Four Elements of lifein terms of designing the built

environment

• Earth: The soil

- Used for building blocks

- Reduce usage of cement -Use naturally available materials

Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources

Type of Use/ Consumption

Soil/Land

Any type of construction (Building / Cities)

Agriculture

Landscaping

Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources

Type of Pollution

Soil/Land

Land pollution (Grey Land X Green Land)

Geological changes

Visual Pollution

Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources

Depletion of Resources

Soil/Land

Forest depletion

Land erosion/ Sliding

Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources

Deterioration of the Ecologic Life/Species

Soil/Land

Some Animal Species Going Extinct

Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources

Precautions/Alternative Use of the Systems

Alternative Uses:Re-Use Renew Recycling

Soil/Land

-Green design principles -Less touch to the land -Passive design systems with thermal mass or -Geothermal energy

Old construction materials - Paper - Glass - Metal - Plastic Used in Building Industry

Locally obtained materials (bamboo, oak or straw

Recycled or second hand materials from local buildings such as doors and windows

Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources

Eco Friendly Systems Green Labeled New Products

Soil/Land

New green construction materials: -Mud-Brick -Adobe -Earth material -Mixture with other natural elements such as straw/bale construction materials

Element of Life: EarthSoil as the main source

• Water: Rainwater as the main source

- Harvest it

- Reduce pressure on existing water bodies

Element of Life: WaterRainwater as the main source

• Fire: Sun as source of energy

- Solar cooking/heating - Good and ample light

Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources

Type of Use/ Consumption

FireEnergy

Warmth

Earth resources coal/fuel/ electricity and machinery use HVAC systems (ACs) for warming/ cooling systems

Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources

Precautions/Alternative Use of the Systems

Alternative Uses: Re-Use Renew Recycling

FireEnergy

Warmth

-Renewable energy -Clean energy -Highlight and control the energy consumption -Choose an energy efficient energy source -Reduce the heat loss as much as possible -Reduce electricity consumption for lighting and appliances

-Passive solar design -Wind power use

-Solar energy -Wind energy
