The elements that sustain us, earth, air, fire and water are also represented by the classic Platonic solids which help us define our world. The synchronistic goals of reducing heat island effects, managing storm water run off and recharging of the City’s water table and are all tied to reducing the energy use of our buildings."

Green Building and Sustainable Community PROMOTING THE DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION AND DEPLOYEMENT OF TECHNOLOGIES TO MEET CHALLENGES IN THE ENERGY SECTOR. One of the possible solutions to resolve the triple crisis: global economic challenge, climate change and social in - equity, is the sustainable development of “Green Building and Sustainable Community” at the city and local level. Coupling prefabricated building materials via industrial process and 3-D computer - aided design (CAD)* software and Building Information Modeling (BIM)** are economically sustainable and competative approach for the green building development. *WASA Studio, a US Integrated Architecture/Engineering Firm can serve as a case study. ** BIM is a process improvement methodology that utilizing data to analyze and predict outcomes in different phases of building life cycle. Integration of conventional energy and renewable energy an optimum efficient and economically sustainable community with nearly zero - carbon emission can be accomplished in the Gulf regional community Development. Existing solar heating, cooling, waste for fuel, wind turbine technologies are available for the Gulf regional community development. Solar cooling and heating for buildings are promising alternative energy approaches. However, the lack of reliable tools to evaluate the technical, economic and the environmental benefits of these technologies presents the critical barriers to their widespread deployment. US EPA Solid Waste Generation, Recycling, and Disposal in the United States: Facts and Figures for 2010 (reports generated every two years).

The Georgia Public Service Commission approved the program in November 2012, allowing the southeastern utility to acquire 45 MW of solar capacity via distributed generation and 60 MW via competitive RFP in both 2013 and 2014. When fully implemented, Georgia will benefit from an additional 210 MW of clean solar power under long - term contracts.
