Draft 2: Summary Reader Response (Final Draft)

Construction Climate Challenge (CCC) (2019) states that “Green technology makes buildings more energy-efficient and sustainable.” The top sustainable construction technologies are active solar power uses functional solar systems, but passive solar power uses the positioning of windows. Biodegradable materials are eco-friendly to the environment. Green insulation reduces the need for “high-end finishes made from non-renewable materials”. Self-sufficient smart appliances help with saving energy thus resulting in zero-energy homes. Cool roofs reflect the sun's radiation away. Sustainable resource sourcing uses construction materials that are recycled and environmentally friendly. Low-energy houses and zero-energy buildings use “high-performance windows and insulation techniques” to lower energy usage. The electrochromic smart glass reflects out the solar radiation. Water efficiency technologies utilize the implementation of “efficient water supply systems”. Self-powered buildings supp
