GREEN BUILDING: TROPICS
In the tropics, few of the green building techniques or LEED certification requirements apply
because climate is so different.
“Passive” design for the tropics is exactly the opposite of design for temperate zones.
For example, “passive” in the north requires air-tightness, whereas “open air” is elemental in the tropics.
Here are some tips for tropical design and building from Costa Rica:
•Extended shade roofs
• Cross Ventilation
• Natural Lighting
• Solar Power
• Using Waste Heat to Dry Clothes
• Living Plants for Shade
• A Flat, Usable Roof
• Recycled Roofing Material
• Rainwater Catchment
• Natural Coloring
• Chemical Free Wall Treatments
• Local Materials Use
• Hire Local Craftspeople
• Outdoor Garden Bathroom
• Blackwater/Sewage Treatment
• Saving Water
• Integrated recycling & composting
• Loft Spaces

GREEN DESIGN FOR RISING SEAS?
The FLOAT House will in fact float up to twelve feet high with vertical guideposts and a raised four-foot chassis, prefabricated with
polystyrene foam coated in glass fiber reinforced concrete. It's also a net-zero energy structure, on track for LEED Platinum: All the
systems will sustain the home's power, air, and water needs -- it'll be solar and geothermal powered, while the roof will funnel and
reclaim rainwater. With 945 square feet of space, the interior has a living room, kitchen, and two bedrooms and bathrooms.

CLIMATE CHANGE ETHICAL ISSUES
1. How much warming should we tolerate?
2. Who gets to use the atmosphere as a sink?
3. Who gets which share of the increase or decrease?
4. Who pays for damages to the atmosphere?
5. Are continuing damage actions criminal?
6. Is it immoral for the US to say mitigation is too costly?
7. Is it immoral for the US to wait until everyone else acts, too?
8. Should we gamble and wait for some saving technology?
9. Do the world’s poor get a say in which gamble we will take?
“if the world took climate change as a moral issue,
it would radically change the way this is being negotiated.”
