I am looking forward to set objectives in green building for my projects, so can you suggest new challenges which you guys face while implementing in your work related to green building.
One of the most challenging aspects is the successful implementation of thermal comfort in terms of mitigating the indoor warming of the building. In this scenario, sustainable research goals need to be set for achieving comprehensive outcomes.
No carbon footprint is the biggest challenge in green building as the material required for such green building should have no embodied energy having carbon foot print and also the long term use of these building must have no carbon foot print. and at the same time cost effective.
The topic of the challenges of green buildings is really exciting, I think that forming indicators on the subject is something very complex, it occurs to me that you can work on indicators on the construction of buildings, their location, how they use renewable energy sources, how to do so that they can use natural light and other geographical conditions based on the sustainability of the constructions.
But, I find it interesting that you work on the definition of what a green building is and how it fits in with the technological advances that citizens have in "traditional" constructions. This is a paradigm shift and buildings are built for the people who will inhabit them, so I think it is necessary to find a way to measure that degree of acceptance among the possible inhabitants of those buildings.
I hope to contribute something with these ideas to your project.
In my opinion one of the biggest challenges is to create a non-judgemental culture of awareness and to involve all staff to make a personal contribution in reducing the carbon footprint in everyday behavior.
