Environmental and Green Design Principles

Environmental Regenerative Design

• Focuses on creating buildings which minimize resource use and actively reverse environmental damage
• Seeks a positive net impact by restoring and revitalizing ecosystems
• Considers the long-term environmental effects of designs, emphasizing the future focus at every step
• Operates to reverse existing environmental damage and repair the relationship between people and the environment through restorative design
• Aims to create a net positive environmental impact and contribute to environmental restoration and improvement
• Designs buildings for efficient resource use
• Goes beyond mere sustainability by actively regenerating resources and ecosystems

Green Design

• Aims to increase the efficiency of resource use, reduce negative impacts on human health and the environment, and promote sustainable practices
• Considers environmental, economic, and social aspects to create new design methods which address environmental challenges
• Focuses on optimal material use, waste reduction, and recycling
• Works to increase energy efficiency and utilize renewable energy sources in buildings
• Implements efficient water use and conservation via water-saving technologies
• Improves indoor environmental quality and reduces exposure to harmful substances
• Minimizes buildings' negative environmental effects and promotes environmental regeneration
• Involves sustainable construction practices and integrating green design principles in building projects

Environmental Sustainability

• Focuses on meeting present needs without compromising future generations
• Utilizes resources efficiently, minimizes environmental impact, and promotes long-term ecological balance
• Notable historical development includes early 20th-century increased focus on environmental sustainability alongside global epidemics
• Green design seeks to improve the efficiency of resources, such as energy and water, in buildings while reducing negative impacts on health and the environment
• Sustainable design takes a comprehensive approach, considering environmental, economic, and social aspects in resource use
• Requires recognizing the impact and necessary precautionary measures during epidemics and provides technologies to address these challenges
• Principles of sustainability help with implementing precautionary measures which avoid the spread of epidemics
• Technological changes includes multifunctional quarantine spaces and changes in press offices from separate rooms to open spaces
• Adapts to lifestyle developments and precautionary measures during epidemics
• OECD's four main objectives include efficiency of sources, energy efficiency, compatibility with the environment, and complementarity/organization of curricula
• New design methods contribute to precautionary measures during epidemics, including sustainable/green/environmental regeneration design

Restorative Design

• Seeks to repair the relationship between people and the environment
• Encompasses approaches which promote healing, integration, and revitalization; moves beyond sustainability improving well being
• Focuses on creating spaces which promote physical and psychological healing
• Design elements aim to reduce stress and anxiety
• Supports specific therapeutic interventions and may incorporate specialized layouts
• Emphasizes integrating people with disabilities or needs into mainstream settings through promotion of accessibility and inclusivity
• Aims to restore energy and vitality, often incorporating elements of nature and opportunities for relaxation/recreation
• Repairs and enhances the environment-people relationship and promotes a connection to nature

Sustainable Design

• Aims to minimize negative environmental impact through efficient resource use, environmental compatibility, and considering economic/social aspects
• Focuses on designs which meet present needs without compromising future needs, incorporating relevant precautionary measures for situations
• Increases the efficiency of resources like energy and water and optimizes resource use from energy to materials, as well as conserving them to achieve vitality
• Achieves compatibility with the environment and reduces the impact of construction in order to preserve social and environmental health
• Emphasizes updating new methodologies for the selection and distribution of interior design elements
• Targets efficiency of sources and achieving/maintaining economic & psychological vitality/health
• Includes complementarity, evokes environmental/economic/social challenges to create new design methods, and contributes to precautionary measures
• Works to improve human comfort/living environments and preserve the life of ecosystems for survival
• A comprehensive concept in all aspects and works to provide technological solutions in order to design an appropriate internal space for the precautionary measures for epidemics
• Opens advanced technical horizons, integrating the internal space with the surrounding environment
• Prepares

Explanation of Environmental Regenerative Design, which creates buildings to reverse environmental damage. Also explains Green Design, which maximizes resource efficiency and sustainability. Both consider long-term environmental effects and aim for a positive impact.
