Talk:Environmental impact design

Untitled
This article presents an interesting topic. While the article is a stub, I feel like it presents an idea that could be expanded on. Following the links within the article, I don’t think that the linked articles cover the topic presented very well, and it deserves to have it’s own page, from what I can tell about the topic. It’s off to a good start, I believe, with a neutral tone and a few examples, but the examples could easily be expanded and have more detail. More could be said about the US Environmental Policy Act of 1969, and I’m sure there are other policies that are relevant that could be discussed. I would discuss these additional topics, as well as provide some specific examples of man-made structures that have left the environment relatively untouched or even better off. Also, there are no references yet, and those would need to be added. Images would help clear up the subject for those that may not understand the concept. This article has room for improvement, and I’d like to work on it for a project for my Environmental Economics class. I think I can add to and improve it to remove it’s “stub status.”

Peer Review
The article seems like it has a great foundation laid for what could be a terrific article. I think the article would benefit greatly from two things. First, working on the structure of the article since right now it reads like one long introduction. Second, would be at least one more real world example to help readers visualize how EID is actually applied.Rvillap (talk) 10:46, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

I believe the article has a great layout, but it needs more information about the history of the environmental impact design. The article needs more structure and more examples and ideas that surrounds the bases of this topic. Overall, I believe this is a great start. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SuperSonic8.0 (talk • contribs) 18:40, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

I believe this page has a lot of work to be done, but this can be a productive piece of work because all the material is fun and exciting to work on. Designing for the development of the environment takes extremes amounts of work, and people need to know what designing for the environment looks like and how can we help as individuals and a whole society to make a greater impact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SuperSonic8.0 (talk • contribs) 18:52, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

To support the ideas that environmental building designs are energy efficient and important to the safety of our earth.

'EID In the field of construction' could use more information about their involvement in present day environmental building. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeseel99 (talk • contribs) 03:07, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

Updated references. I took out the Davis one that wiki user Ian suggested, due to it being environmentally out of date. I then replaced it with an ebook by Susan Roaf copyrighted in 2007.

Put headings on the positive impact examples.

Habit Creation Habitat creation as a result of afforestation projects that can "expand forest resources and reduce the gap between timber production and consumption." An example of this is the China Afforestation Project. [5] Coastal Management Coastal management projects that contribute to ecological and recreational objectives. This type of project can strengthen biodiversity and protected areas. It can also promote sustainable use of biological resources at the local level.[6] Flood Defense Flood defense projects which improve the livability in flood-prone areas by reducing future loses with the construction of defense facilities. Flood preparedness and mitigation systems will enhance the regional capacity of handling periodic flooding.[7] Bridge Design Bridge designs which enhance the landscape and contribute positively to the environment. An example of this is the implementation of concrete bridges which are sustainable, recyclable, long lasting and make "it possible to facilitate accelerated construction; thereby, reducing greenhouse gas emissions caused by traffic delays and construction equipment operation."

Adding in more info on EID in the field of construction.

Choosing your materials can be affected by where you’ll be building, the climate, the constructional time frame, and the purpose of the structure. By choosing to construct environmentally safe, you will be preventing the earth from many forms of harm. The amount of manpower, machine power, or unnaturally occurring objects used in the construction of a building have an effect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeseel99 (talk • contribs) 04:24, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
