Sustainability – Environmental dimensionUse of sustainable building materialsUse of renewable energy sources Use of efficient building services and reduced reliance on air conditioning plantHigher density development located close to public transportation nodes in order to reduce reliance on the car.Ensure building components are lifecycle costed, so that they require less maintenance and repairSlide6
Sustainability - Economic dimension (affects cost, revenue, demand)Ensure that airconditioning and other equipment can easily convert to cheaper energy sourcesEnsuring internal space is adaptable to meet a variety of user needsIn housing development, providing a dwelling mix to meet the needs and demand arising from different sized householdsSlide7
Sustainability - Social dimensionEnsure development is close to social infrastructure, so that building users/residents have convenient access to schools, healthcare facilities, shops, leisure and recreational opportunities Improved
