Robust Infrastructure:
Green buildings
Green buildings relate not only to the structure but how they are used by the occupants. This can include building material choice, building orientation, and building codes, choice of internal equipment such as efficient lighting and air conditioning efficient equipment and also how the equipment is operated. Efficient building considerations can also include maximising use of the space such as co-working spaces and hubs. Other considerations include ability to withstand extremes such as storms, floods, cyclones and bushfires.
