Natural environment

things like natural lighting and ventilation, natural landscape features and other elements for creating a more productive and healthy built environment for people.  The building industry as a whole is undergoing an evolution in sustainability. Within healthcare facilities there has been a particular focus on energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and improving delivery of care. There are ample opportunities for architects and designers to create conditions that productively bond natural and human

unnecessary energy loss (including generating heat loss and lighting loss), is bound to increase electric effect throughout the city, thereby exacerbating urban heat island effect. ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT Introduction. In this area, we will discuss about energy savings, land savings, water savings and environment protection. For the energy savings we need to promote the use of new and renewable energy sources. Reasonable arrangements for cities’ various functions, and promote urban living, employment

It has been established that a healing environment has a positive effect on the human being given the information mentioned above. In addition, healing architecture suggests that the incorporation of natural elements during the design process of the building is essential. The investigation on the themes of healing architecture lead to the conclusion that “the luminous environment plays an important role and an integral part of the hospital’s healing environment (Aripin, 2006).However, it was noticed

concentration to reduce its emissions to achieve the goal of saving water. Water recycling is the most direct and simple and easy, works fast to save water resource technology roadmap. Saving water at the same time can obtain protection of the water environment results. Take energy-saving cooling tower technology. To expand the scope of the use of recycled water, and reduce the cost of operation of circulating water, makes strategic sense and considerable economic benefits. Water-saving affect as opposed

In order to attain this ideal- ecological holism, we can stop buying GM food and buy some food that is natural, organic and it is raised in an organic way in order to maintain the balance of the ecosystem. ‘Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods derived from organisms whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally

The Nature of Sustainability: A Human-Nature Hybridity Environmentalism is not a new concept. It is a social movement or philosophy that aims to protect and improve the health of the environment. While humans have accepted this view of environmentalism for living in the Holocene epoch, political environmentalist Paul Wapner proposes a renewed definition of environmentalism that has emerged in the Anthropocene epoch. Wapner sees the Anthropocene as an epoch of human geological influence, where humans

present in today’s world are entangled by a certain subset of Western or European set of values denoting how to interact with the environment. These generally center around the notions of ‘development’ and ‘modernity’. Reading widely on the topic, one finds most of the literature of non-western ideals of nature are centered upon ‘traditional’ and religious views of environment. Traditional as in the constructs of nature were largely based on myths and stories, which are transferred to younger generations

Why is scale important in ecology? Ecology is the study of the distribution and abundance of organisms, their interactions between each other and their environment, and the structure and function of ecosystems. To this end, the scale (spatial, functional, temporal, organizational, etc.) at which we observe nature and the multitude of environments that comprise it is an extremely important factor in the study of ecology. Dumping sewage effluent in the middle of a small pond is not going to register

Environmentalism is not a new concept. It is a social movement that aims to protect and improve the health of the environment. While humans have accepted this view of environmentalism for the Holocene epoch, political environmentalist Paul Wapner proposes a renewed definition of environmentalism that has emerged in the Anthropocene epoch. Wapner sees the Anthropocene as an epoch of human geological influence, where humans have inflicted a signature on the earth, leaving it “independent of human experience”

The Treadmill of Production Based on the concepts presented by Gould & Lewis on chapter 3, due to the Treadmill of Production Theory, Americans have been causing a tremendous impact in our natural resources, with the complacency of many governmental institutions. This phenomenon occurs as a result of our irresponsible consumption and the greed of industrial enterprises, which only goal is to make more profits without spending any money to deter any damage to our Mother Nurture; or to prevent ecological
