A sustainable building is one that has been designed and constructed in a way that reduces the negative environmental impacts of its construction, operation, and eventual deconstruction. A few ways to reduce these impacts are by using renewable energy sources for heating and cooling; minimizing water use through the use of rainwater harvesting systems or on-site wastewater treatment plants; incorporating natural lighting into the design; choosing materials with low embodied energy such as recycled content or salvaged materials; reducing waste by reusing materials from demolition projects; minimizing air pollution through green roofs or passive ventilation strategies; recycling waste generated during construction such as concrete slurry or wood chips.
