| Description: | The aim of this guide is to promote environmentally sustainable development and to encourage people to design new residential buildings so that they interact positively with the various elements of their local environment. The result should be buildings that use less energy and have less damaging environmental impacts over their whole life than equivalent buildings designed without regard to these factors. |
