This is a sustainable house built in Toronto. It is
recognized to manage its resources well (by using recycled materials), indoor air quality by insulating the whole house, save water and its energy efficient.
less exposure to mold, mildew and other indoor toxins
reduce green house gases
lower energy and water bills
healthier and more comfortable for household
creates less waste
uses less energy, water and natural resources
design and construction of high-performance green homes
used solar panels on its roof to collect energy
heating and cooling
a unit is installed which combines the heat pump and generator into a simple bundle.
controls air-conditioning, space heating, electrical power generation & hot water
zoned air conditioning
basement has the resistance against heat flow.
this home exceeds normal building standards by 30%
insulation
widows and doors are well insulated
use compact florescence bulbs
use less power and have a longer rated life
filters the water before it comes into the house
have a waste water treatment system that treats all the sewage water
Permeable pavement will allow more water absorption into the ground
could be used in driveways and paved areas
drought tolerant native plants and species
Advanced plumbing with timed control for hot water
Low flow toilets
Zoned air condition
Insulation
Structural Insulated Panel System
SIP is used in chimneys to prevent losing 10-15% of heat
Insulated chimneys
remove wood gases to prevent creosol
Seals window and door by using spray insulation

instead of using paint
lowers the cost of energy
clean energy which could power our cars
transfer energy into homes
replaces telephone polls and wires
could be damage unlike the solar roads
use its energy to warm itself to melt ice and snow
less money used on salt and snow removal
use energy harvested to light the panels up instead of using things to mark the road
harvest energy on roads
Converting abandoned/rundown spaces and buildings into parkland or green space is sustainable because less "new" construction needs to happen. HiLine Park in New York City is a park constructed on an old railway track right along tenth avenue in the middle of one of the busiest stretches of Manhattan. It is an example of how old structures like railways, bridges, factories, warehouses, etc. are transformed into parks and open spaces for the public to use. It "lowers the blood pressure" as designer Ric Scofidio mentions in this video.
