Book Chapter
Making the right choices – the sustainability dilemma
2013
Overview
Exactly how do we make the right, sustainable choices?
There needs to be a combination of realistic selection and decisions based on good technology deployment, taking account of whole life cycle, embodied energy and sound engineering. We must cut through the green‐wash and hype that often clouds decision making and leads to people making costly mistakes, which can actually have a negative impact on achieving a sustainable outcome.
Short termism is the enemy of sustainability. This applies to our use of natural resources, how we generate energy and how we control and use it effectively, throughout the buildings life.
