City of Austin: Green habitat learning project. A green builder model home project
The purpose of the Year 14 UCETF project was to design and construct a residential structure that could serve as a demonstration facility, training site, and testing and monitoring laboratory for issues related to the implementation of sustainable building practices and materials. In general, we refer to a modified life cycle assessment to ascertain if 'green' building options reflect similar positive cyclical patterns found in nature (i.e. recyclability, recycled content, renewable resources, etc.). We additionally consider economic, human health and synergistic ecological impacts associated with our building choices and characterize the best choices as 'green.' Our ultimate goal is to identify and use those 'green' materials and processes that provide for us now and do not compromise similar benefits for future generations.
