Description

For this assignment, you will choose from the following options:

  • Option 1: Green Building and Site Development Paper
  • Option 2: Green Building and Site Development Management Proposal

Read the instructions in the University of Phoenix Material: Green Building and Site Development and select one option to complete the assignment.
For this assignment, you may choose either to research and discuss the existing green building that you profiled in Week One, or develop a new green building design for your community.  For instance, you might propose to construct a new library or city hall (or remodel the existing ones), following green building practices and addressing all of the topics listed in the attached instructions.  The former task will involve mostly research into how the existing building was constructed; the latter would challenge you to address creatively (but grounded in research) the various facets of your proposed project listed in the handout provided.

Describe basic green building and site development aspects used in this project, such as • • • • • • • cost determination. site evaluation. remediation and bioremediation technologies. heat and pollution reduction. building efficiency. ecosystem disturbance reduction. transportation planning. Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper about the costs of green building, site selection and development, and sustainable transportation planning. Include the following: • • • Costs of Green Building: Will it be more expensive to build green, or will it just require a rearrangement of costs? Can you justify the costs with a green construction comparison analysis? Site Selection and Development: Explain site remediation, site improvement, resources, and the benefits of using a polluted site. Sustainable Transportation Planning: What type of transportation will be used? How do you accommodate and plan sustainable transportation? Also be sure to explain the following: • • • The relationship among heat and pollution reduction Building efficiency Ecosystem disturbance reduction Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word a proposal to management about a hypothetical site development and green building construction project for retrofitting or rebuilding a public library in a downtown metropolitan area. This area must have high sunlight exposure and be in a location known to be a brownfield. In your proposal, address the following: • • • Costs of Green Building: Will it be more expensive to build green, or will it just require a rearrangement of costs? Can you justify the costs with a green construction comparison analysis? Site Selection and Development: Explain site remediation, site improvement, resources, and the benefits of using a polluted site. Sustainable Transportation Planning: What type of transportation will be used? How do you accommodate and plan sustainable transportation? Explain the following: • • • How will you attain heat and pollution reduction? How will you achieve building efficiency? How will you achieve ecosystem disturbance reduction? Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
