Sustainable housing concepts
The first considerations may seem easy with a simple answer: sustainable housing is difficult. its vertical and horizontal surfaces withstand the deterioration of weather and use. It could be theorized that sustainable housing have three qualities.
Firmness - it is well built with solid materials.
Utility - it is useful and comfortable for its inhabitants over the years.
Delight - there appeal of an era to another.
Sustainability is a key point to prevent the deterioration of structures, members and structural elements in time and to maintain the security, comfort, and the health of its occupants. The question of sustainability, explicitly considers the architecture over time. Different people will obviously appreciate and focus on different aspects of sustainability. The residents want to live in a nice and worthy of a "good place" place. Neighbors want to watch something calm and reassuring, not odd or brutal. Staff maintenance for buildings to expect predictable performance and less surprises and problems. Planners and politicians to worry about the quality of the urban landscape, social health districts, and the cost to public budgets.
The important aspect of sustainability is that buildings which are considered comfortable and attractive are somehow more worthy of sentencing maintenance and renewal as the buildings that are not comfortable or attractive. As a result, there is a strong correlation that suggests that physical, social, aesthetic and sustainability aspects are certainly linked.
This number will put emphasis on sustainability in terms of physical characteristics, durability, and performance-based requirements. The need for more effective, sustainable and sustainable economic efficient buildings for the housing sector has become more important than ever. The performance of the building envelope is heavily dependent on various agents and environmental factors that affect its function. Building science can be defined as the body of knowledge with respect to the flow of heat, air and moisture in buildings resulting from these agents and their impact on building materials and occupants. All the definitions of life and sustainability include references to service environment, highlighting the key concept that sustainability is a function to both the product and its environment, a point too often misunderstood by developers.
The longevity of housing: what is our hope of how longhouses should last? Some people do-it-yourselfers build so that their "improvements" to the last House is sold to someone else. Bankers and credit institutions expect the structure to last 30 years from the time where they run a mortgage on the structure. Ease of maintenance could mark the end of its safe use. Catastrophic failure of the structure of a House caused by the wind or earthquake will mark the end of its safe use. Green building systems are on the rise and will be recognition of consumers in the next few years. Consumers are aware of the impact of their purchasing decisions. More attention is given to renewable character, impact on sustainability and the environment of the materials and systems that we defend. There are many lessons from existing housing systems; in view of the immense Park of housing in place, it is information much to gain by making a link between existing housing and new housing. We should be able to draw conclusions from the problems of witness and to quantify the behavior and performance of existing structures.
The effect of the do-it-yourselfers market is large. Major retailers "superstores" centres send the message to most owners that they can do by themselves the most projects. If the job is to paint the House for the construction of an extension, is often regarded as the weekend of work. Professional assistance for such projects almost always lead to a better job. We have to be more cautious about what we say to people that they may face. Real estate professionals often see that the projects carried out by the owners can reduce the value of a home by report not to be 'improved' at all. These types of improvements are also common in the commercial sector.
