Just a thought, what is sustainability means to you? How do
you actually being sustainable? This simple question could lead to many
answers, but I would like to share with you the real philosophy of
sustainability that has been taught by my lecturer.
Sustainability have two elements that need to keep and
practice which are as follow:
1.
Conservation
o
Consuming natural resources as minimum as
possible
2.
Operation
o
Make sure it will not danger the environment
o
Maintenance shall be as less as possible (
Wastes , Cleaning, Painting)
Moving on to another part related to sustainability known as
Life-Cycle Analysis.
Construct Demolishing
Start from the construction work until demolition process, do it right!No matter who you are, either an architect, engineer,
student or even contractor, please make sure whatever you plan to do and
consume, does not give any effect to the future as well as to new generation.
In short, be environmental- friendly.
Another thing you need to practice is by using this brilliant
concept. If you’re planning to own a house (you could visit our previous post
about green homes)
or developing building for others, Please practice this concept which will
eventually give you thousands benefits. The concept is called 3P’s (Peoples, Planet, Profit).
Implement this concept, then you are towards sustainable person!
