Par A (40 Marks)
READING (20 marks)
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
1) There has, in recent years, been an outpouring of information about the impact of buildings
on the natural environment, Information which explains and promotes green and sustainable
construction design, strives to convince others of its efficacy and warns dangers of
ignoring the issue Seldom do these documents offer any advice to practitioners, such as those
designing mechanical and electrical systems for a building, on how to utilise this knowledge on
a practical level.
2) While the terms green and sustainable are often considered synonymous, in that they both
symbolise nature, green does not encompass all that is meant by sustainability, which can be
defined as minimizing the negative impacts of human activities on the natural environment, in
particular those which have long-term and irreversible effects. Some elements of green design
may be sustainable too, for example those which reduce energy usage and pollution, while
others, such as ensuring internal air quality, may be considered green despite having no
influence on the ecological balance.
3) Although there are a good many advocates of 'green' construction in the architectural
industry, able to cite ample reasons why buildings should be designed in a sustainable way, not
to mention a plethora of architectural firms with experience in green design, this is not enough
