Ecological systems in nature before we had human beings you know interfere with them exist in a state of stasis - they are self-supporting, self-sustaining.” ThinkingShouldHumansSelfStatesNatureHuman BeingsExistenceSupportBuildingArchitectureInterfereEcologyEcologicalEcosystemsSustainingStasis Author:Ken Yeang
“We shouldn't just look at new buildings but at existing stock building because that's an even greater problem than the new buildings being built. The renovation of existing buildings and making them green is just as important as designing new green buildings.” LooksImportantProblemGreaterDesignBuildingBuiltGreenRenovation Author:Ken Yeang
“Better use of space, improving the insulation, getting more daylight into the buildings, reducing the energy consumption of the air conditioning and heating systems, making sure that the internal air quality is good, that we have increased natural ventilation opportunities in the mid seasons. You know these are some of the things we can do.” KnowsUseOpportunityEnergyCan DoNaturalSpaceQualityAirBuildingSeasonsEnvironmentalArchitectureInternalsFriendlyConsumptionImprovingReducingConditioningDaylightHeatingAir ConditioningAir QualityInsulationEnvironmentally FriendlyEnergy ConsumptionVentilation Author:Ken Yeang
“I think green buildings are extremely important but it's only part of the equation. A lot of people think that if I put a green building everything is going to be fine, but actually it's not just the green buildings we need, but green businesses, green governments, green economics. We have to extend the greening of buildings to our business and our lifestyles - that is the most important thing to do next.” PeopleIfsThinkingNeedsImportantGovernmentNextBuildingFineEconomicsGreenImportant ThingsLifestyleThings To DoEquationsGreening Author:Ken Yeang
