Choosing the right building plot is an important step in promoting sustainable construction. Here are some factors to consider when choosing a building plot:
Location: Choose a location that is well connected to the public transport network to reduce the need for individual transport. A location near public transportation and shops can also improve quality of life.
Soil condition: Inspect the soil for contamination and stability. A stable floor can reduce the need for foundations and increase the lifespan of the building. Contaminants in the soil can also increase the need for expensive remediation measures.
Orientation: The orientation of the property can have a significant impact on the energy efficiency of the building. A building with good orientation can take advantage of solar radiation to reduce heating costs and maximize the use of solar energy.
Landscape and Vegetation: Maintain the natural environment of the property to protect the local flora and fauna. Protecting trees, shrubs, and other plant species can also increase the value of the property.
Water Resources: Pay attention to the availability of water on the property. Rainwater harvesting can reduce the need for costly tap water.
Sustainable Infrastructure: Check the availability of renewable energy resources such as solar energy and wind power near the property. The availability of charging stations for electric cars and public bicycle rental stations can also contribute to promoting sustainable mobility.
By considering these factors, you can ensure that the property you choose has the necessary conditions for sustainable construction.
