Building construction and operations can have extensive direct and indirect impacts on the environment, society, and economy, which are commonly referred to as the 3 P’s (‘People’, ‘Planet’, ‘Pocketbook’). The field of sustainable design seeks to balance the needs of these areas by using an integrated approach to create win-win-win design solutions. This short manual provides an introduction to sustainable design including the site selection process, design stage, construction, the human-centred approach, and post build, with examples from Cambodia.
