The Enhanced Greenhouse Effect For the past ten thousand years the earth’s climate has been extremely good and beneficial to mankind. Today however , major changes are taking place. Humans beings are changing the face of the entire planet by destroying the rain forests and pumping our pollutants into the air and water. Some of these gases are very toxic and they are destroying our ozone layers which allows life to exist on earth These things are changing the make-up of the earth’s biosphere and
can be attributed directly or not directly to human activity, which alters the composition of the global atmosphere by the earth overheating. Many researchers believe that, global warming is caused by human activities, for instance the emission green house gases to the atmosphere. The debate on global warming has, to its detriment, long stopped being a scientific one; instead, it has become human caused. Is global warming a natural cause or man-made? This essay will discuss the problem of global
bring to the cities, the concept of Green Building is being more and more important considered by local and federal government. According to the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), a green building is one that utilizes design and construction practices that significantly reduce or eliminate the negative impact of buildings on the environment and the building's occupants.

As a nursing home model, Green Houses are obviously providers of long-term care services, including basic nursing and medical services.

Researchers of healthcare management (and healthcare managers themselves) have an interest in studying the differences
keep water out and moisture in. Sealing the glass also affects the heating and ventilation. Stoves were most commonly used for heating the building. The cost of heating can differ in cost depending on warm of the green house. The glass house could be kept as warm as the rest of the house, costing a lot of money, or just warm enough to keep it from freezing, costing less.

Green roof are defined as roofs that support vegetation, covering either full or partial of live plant material. At present, cities are now considering extensive planting as a mean of improving of air quality. Green roof can also be a good material tool in the environment.

Green Building “The building sector contributes up to 30% of global annual greenhouse gas emissions and consumes up to 40% of all energy” (UNEP). The building sector is one of the leading contributors to global warming and, as a result, is one of the leading contributors to melting ice caps, rising sea levels and the recent proliferation in extreme weather conditions. However, it does not just contribute to global warming; the building sector also contributes to urban pollution. In the US alone,

Social Construct of Codes Green building advancement dates back to the late nineteenth century when it started with the concepts of environmental conservation and preservation, and public health protection. The idea at that time was opposed because the public felt that it contradicted social norms that defined how a private home should be constructed for the good of the public. It was later accepted as a measure of environmental conservation and at the present, green building programmes are fully
