可持续建筑设计
UNE is acutely aware that construction methods, 材料, 和 operations all contribute to adverse consequences for the planet 和 worsen the climate change problem. Combined with the amount of energy 和 natural resources consumed in the ongoing operation of a building 和 the long-term environmental impacts of altering the natural l和scape, each new structure has the potential to negatively affect the environment.
作为一个机构, 一方面, has been fortunate to experience tremendous growth in the past decade-plus, 和, 另一方面, has a deeply rooted commitment to the health of the planet, UNE has worked diligently to build responsibly, limiting potential adverse environmental impacts 和 keeping our carbon footprint as minimal as possible when adding new buildings to our campuses.
