Sustainable architecture, also known as “Green building” (or “green architecture”), is a general term that describes environmentally-conscious design techniques in the field of architecture. Sustainable architecture is framed by the larger discussion of sustainability and the pressing economic and political issues of our world. In the broad context, sustainable architecture seeks to minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings by enhancing efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy, and development space.
Some key facts:
- 1.1 Heating, Ventilation and Cooling System Efficiency
- 1.2 Alternative energy production and building design

Hello, I work with a company that has just launched a new website for Pronghorn’s Tesana neighborhood, which is located just outside of Bend, Oregon. We’re asking for feedback about the website and about the community from people who are devoted to green living.
An exciting model of sustainability, Pronghorn golf course preserves the second oldest Juniper forest on the planet. Mature trees framing the fairways and enhancing the landscape are hundreds, perhaps thousands of years old. Pronghorn developers situated the golf courses, home sites and amenities in order to accommodate these unique trees. Great care and expense were taken In the course of development to preserve several of these ancient beings through successful transplantation.
John Anderson, Pronghorn’s Director of Agronomy received the prestigious Environmental Leaders in Golf Award in 2004 for his expertise and environmentally-sensitive development of Pronghorn’s golf courses. Designed as an example of sustainable luxury, the two Pronghorn golf courses are maintained using reclaimed water from the city treatment plant which makes 2.5 million gallons a day available to Pronghorn. Additional examples of Pronghorn’s green building practices include the re-use of excavated rock and underground placement of trash receptacles.
Please visit the website at http://tesanaliving.com and let us know what you think. Does it communicate Pronghorn’s commitment to sustainability and green living? Would it inspire you to visit Pronghorn or to buy a home there?
