4 main stages of product's life cycle - ANSWER: 1. Raw-material Acquisition
2. Manufacturing
3. Use and Maintenance
4. Disposal
Embodied Energy - ANSWER: The material or product should require as little energy
as possible for its extraction as a raw material, initial processing including
transportation of the materials and products during their life cycle.
Metals - ANSWER: Although metals require large amounts of embodied energy for
their production, they have high potential for recycling.
Steel - ANSWER: Is the most common metal used in building as is commonly recycled
as scrap to produce more steel.
Wood - ANSWER: Lumber and wood products represent a large portion of both
residential and commercial construction.
Reclaimed Wood - ANSWER: Basically recycled wood from old buildings or structures
that has been salvaged and prepared for new used.
Sustainable or Alternate Wood Materials - ANSWER: Standard solid wood framing
products can be replaced with engineered wood products such as wood I-joists or
laminated veneer lumber.
Straw particle board - ANSWER: Made from wheat straw, a waste product from
framing
Rice Straw or Bagasse - ANSWER: The residue from the processing of sugar cane

with some recycled content for the core.
When using carpet there are 3 major considerations for sustainability - ANSWER:
Raw-material use
Raw-material disposal
Indoor air quality
Ceiling Finishes - ANSWER: ACTs uses recycled content from old tiles, newsprint, or
pertile.
Building Commissioning - ANSWER: Process of inspecting, starting up, and adjusting
building systems and then verifying and documenting that they are operating as
intended and meet the design criteria of the contract documents.

Environmental Design Research
Functionalism
Economic Factors
Historic Precedent - ANSWER: A design theory approach basing current ideas on
design or styles of the past.
Environmental Design Research - ANSWER: Focuses on theories of the interaction
between humans and their environment.
Functionalism - ANSWER: Places emphasis on providing simple, rational solutions to
design problems without extraneous decoration.
