sustainable design

Standard Terminology for Sustainability Relative to the Performance of Buildings defines a green building as one that meets performance requirements with minimal negative impact on and maximum improvement of the ecosystem during and after construction and expected service life.

-  American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E 2114

Sustainable design is based on theoretical models in which the documented environmental impact of individual building products, systems, subsystems, and whole structures is extrapolated to a point in the future to predict their life cycle impacts. The emphasis of sustainable design is the environmental performance of a facility over the course of its life cycle.
