The document discusses environmental sustainability features in buildings. It describes passive features like natural ventilation, lighting, orientation, shading, and green roofs/facades. Active features include solar panels, wind turbines, scoops, and sensors. Examples are given of local buildings incorporating sustainability elements such as solar panels, green roofs, harvesting, and efficient systems. Readers are tasked with considering sustainability features in their own buildings.
