Sustainable Design Policy and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Certification
The 2007 Air Force Sustainable Development and Design Policy mandates the use of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED ) criteria for military construction projects. Additionally, the policy authorizes adding two percent of the original building budget to the total building budget in order to fund the resulting sustainable design costs. To determine if the specific sustainable design goals of this policy had statistical support in the population of LEED certified buildings, the author gathered construction, cost, and utility data on a sample of 160 LEED certified buildings. Simple correlation and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the resulting database. The correlation analysis suggests that this sample offers no statistically significant correlations between design variables. Furthermore, the descriptive statistics suggest that, although the Air Force policy will certainly achieve some of its goals, the two percent budget increase is likely to be too little to achieve LEED certification a majority of the time. Without additional design requirements, the analysis also suggests that the policy will not result in buildings that always achieve the utility reduction requirements of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and Executive Order 13423.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Design Before Disaster
Models of disaster preparedness Across the globe, few sites have faced as many environmental disasters as the islands of the Japanese archipelago. They have endured typhoons, cyclones, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. Residents of Japan have responded to their precarious circumstances by developing a unique culture of disaster preparedness, known as bōsai, one that has become embedded in everyday life. It has equipped the island nation to plan for future emergencies and to greatly reduce their impact. In this practical, engaging text, Miho Mazereeuw--who has carried out ethnographic fieldwork and space-based analysis for more than two decades--offers a detailed framework to design and prepare for anticipated disasters and describes effective interventions in urban landscape and architecture. An urgent and timely book, Design Before Disaster represents the cutting edge in disaster mitigation and adaptation to empower communities in the world's most vulnerable places. Publication of this volume was assisted by a grant from Furthermore: a program of the J. M. Kaplan Fund.
