Talk:Sustainable architecture

message: User:Naught101 put these in as topics that should be covered in the article:
*Environmental Sustainability in Architecture
**Energy Efficiency in Sustainable Architecture
**Waste Managment in Sustainable Architecture
*Social Sustainability in Architecture
**Mental Health in Sustainable Architecture
**Sustainable Social Constructs
**Art in Sustainable Architecture
*Economic Sustainability in Architecture
**Job Creation in Sustainable Architecture
**Running and Maintinence costs in Sustainable Architecture
They make the article look really horrible when they're in there and completely empty. Naught101, if you want to work on this article in a way that involves intermediate stages like this, you can create a subpage like this: User:Naught101/Sustainable architecture and work on the article there instead. —HorsePunchKid→龜 03:56, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  List of headings to cover 

message: Sustainability existed long before the environmental movement, as did Architecture.    Life-cycle engineering is what should be discussed, about systems, (not just environment). This article is way off track.  --74.107.74.39 (talk) 01:51, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hijacked term 

message: I think the suggestion that this page be merged with green architecture is a poor Idea. Sustainable architecture is a subset of green architecture. Not all green archiecture is sustainable. A building may reduce embodied energy, use energy saving techniques, and even achieve LEED standards, and yet use too many non-renewable resources to adequetly be considered sustainable. 216.114.72.146 18:27, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed merger with [[Green building]]

message: The whole "Practitioners of sustainable architecture" section looks like in indiscrimate list of self-promoting external links. Is there any reason to keep it? ✤ JonHarder talk 22:25, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I am going to go ahead and remove the whole section. Please discuss links here individual to determine their merit. ✤ JonHarder talk 01:57, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I agree that the "Noted architects" section needs investigation/policing. However, I don't think it is reasonable to expect editors to be able to do that on a continuing basis. My review of the list suggests that it might be nigh impossible policing it. How about we eliminate the section entirely? Sunray 22:33, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup

message: I don't think this section is necessary in the article.  I went through about half of them--several have notability and other tags.  See the discussion in Green Building. Please comment here.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Muffinon (talk • contribs) 19:49, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notable Designers 

message: I moved some details on green building materials to sustainable architecture, because it it looks like the focus of the sustainable architecture article is green/sustainable building practices.  This seems to be in agreement with the previous discussion found here that the articles be kept separate but could use a bit of reorganizing.  The discussion also talked about Green building being more policy-focused and Sustainable architecture being more design/practice oriented. If you have any other ideas or concerns please discuss here. Muffinon (talk) 02:08, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Moving green building practices details to sustainable architecture. 

message: Under the section "Lower volatile organic compounds," there is limited discussion on what kinds of building products can be classified as 'low-emitting.'  The Collaborative for High Performance Schools is a non-profit organization providing resources to schools on high performance building.  One resource is the Low-Emitting Materials Table which contains a variety of products including flooring, adhesives, furniture, and paint that have passed CA Section 01350.  These products have been certified by their manufacturer and an independent laboratory to meet the Section 01350 criteria for use in a typical classroom as described in a CA Department of Health Services (CDHS) Standard Practice.  Could this LEM Table be a useful reference for this section?  Thanks!  --Zucchini22 (talk) 23:23, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Collaborative for High Performance Schools - Low-Emitting Materials Table

message: I have added a considerable amount of information and citations to these subsections.
The Solar Panel, Solar Water Heating and Heat Pumps subsections lacked citations and, most importantly, quality information. The previous revisions had several important pieces missing. Most apparent was the lack of information on cost, output, and applicable conditions in all of the sections.
 
I feel that the amount of content and detail added in Alternative Energy Production is appropriate for people without a technical background to fully understand and appreciate the applications of “Alternative Energy Production”.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dambre20 (talk • contribs) 04:12, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Solar Panel, Solar Water Heating and Heat Pumps Sections 

message: The article Sustainable Building Consulting seems primarily promotional, and I don't think it's an encyclopedic topic. I suggest we merge useful info from it into this article. Mindmatrix 19:03, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge Sustainable Building Consulting into this article

message: California state law allows 15% upgrade to green building rules as a municipal option. Hot topic. Would make great separate article too.Brothercanyouspareadime (talk) 23:37, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  RACH Codes need to be written up on put in here 

message: The lead image and lead paragraph both come from the same source, the otherwise non-notable firm Doerr Architecture. While this may reflect substantial contributions to the article it definitely looks like self promotion. Would it be useful to replace both, to reflect the wider views and to show an actual built example of some importance? ProfDEH (talk) 06:34, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified (January 2018) 

message: Most of this section was written by a single-edit unregistered user from 2015, and a casual reading is enough to recognize the stylistic issues and meandering unsourced claims. 
I marked it as a rewrite, but I'd question the necessity of a "Criticism" section at all. Criticizing specific doctrines of sustainable architecture might be worthwhile, but even the one sourced line from another editor doesn't present a criticism of the actual topic. I can't imagine a wide range of quality sources for an "architecture should be unsustainable" counterargument.
Another banner has been present for eight years without a proper sourcing. I'm not well-read enough to attempt any substantial edits or rewrites, but this article needs somebody who is.
