Accessibility /Universal Design
16
• Where green design used to be – a maturing idea within the design/construction industry
• Awareness increasing / Slowly losing stigma
• Recognize diversity of human abilities across the entire population -various ages, sizes, sensory abilities, language skills, and cognitive abilities.
• Reality of our aging populations
![Page 17: How Smart Green Design Creates Universal Design Spaces.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c935503460f9494fbdb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Green Design /Universal Design
17
Completely separate concepts?
No obvious relationships?
• The more we look at the requirements for sustainable design, the more convergences and overlaps we see with universal accessibility.
• Largely unrealised opportunity to add value to their buildings

Reducing rain water run-off
• Reducing need for rain water run-off and/or city infrastructure
Reducing roof summer heat build-up
• Conserving energy with reduced air conditioning requirements
