'Green' architecture focuses primarily on building tactics that don't adversely impact the earth, use less energy, and often use recycled/re-purposed materials. Examples of green architecture could be using geothermal heating instead of electric or gas, or installing solar panels to offset the power demands of your building.

'Green' architecture can also be very literal - utilizing roof space as a roof garden (either cultivated or wild) which not only reduces the rain runoff of your building (lessening your impact on the city's storm sewers) but also reduces heating and cooling costs, and adds pleasing aesthetic elements to your building. Why not go truly green and grow vegetables on your roof?!

Realistically, green architecture is anything that:

-reduces your impact on the earth

-uses recycled/re-purposed materials

-transforms an existing building into usable space

-uses less energy to run

-creates its own energy

-heats/cools a building through creative means

-results in less pollution than conventional architecture

The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat has confirmed the official building height of Burj Khalifa at 828.00 meters (2716.54 feet), as well as the title of 'The World's Tallest Building'.

With the official completion of the building on January 4, the Burj Khalifa surpassed the previous 'World's Tallest' (Taipei 101) by 320 metres, an unprecedented increase of 61 per cent.

The Burj Khalifa has become the 16th building to hold the title of the 'World's Tallest' and stands an additional 773 meters higher, or 15 times taller, than the world's first 'tall building' (the Home Insurance Building completed in Chicago in 1885).

First you need to plan. This involves Contractor, owner,trades, engineers & architects and financing. Design, materials, schedule and costs & contracts are reviewed. Some of this information is submitted to local / state agencies for permitting & zoning and clerk of the court. After receiving "on site" plans you may proceed to a pre-construction meeting to review selections made during planning. You'll review your schedule, notify your trades and start site work to prepare for the foundation. Underground electrical & plumbing are placed, re-enforcement materials & vapor barrier are set. You'll be ready to pour your foundation. (From this point on I'll simplify the process). Walls , interior load bearing walls and trusses are placed. Exterior decking (walls & roof) are installed with waterproofing to follow. Windows and exterior finishes (roofing & siding) completed with interior walls and HVAC, electrician, & plumber to complete installs. You may have other specialty installs depending on your wants for the home. Drywall can be placed and finishing will complete. Interior trim & painting will complete the major portions of work. A final grading, garage door(s), driveway & sidewalks, irrigation / landscaping will finish the exterior. Flooring, cabinets and HVAC /electrical & plumbing trims will finish the interior. There's a good deal of the minutia omitted (sorry you'll need to hire licensed contractors and my goal is not to give everyone the idea they can build a home from my post (liability reasons). There's a great deal of inspections with the local / state authorities and review them your contractor. Also the meetings/walks you'd like to have are Pre-construction, Frame (or pre-drywall) and final.
