Sustainable Development
Sustainable development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This is accomplished by utilizing resources in a way that satisfies current development needs, while also preserving natural resources and the environment so that future needs can still be met. Sustainable development focuses on building design methods that utilize renewable and recyclable materials, conserve water and natural energy resources, and take into account the effect current land use will have on future environmental factors. This section provides information and resources about all aspects of sustainable development.
