For example, issues may include:  Environmentally sensitive design  Protection and preservation of natural resources  Energy-conscious design  Water conservation  Increased materials reuse and recycling  Environmentally sound building materials and construction  Eliminating hazardous substances  Improving indoor and outdoor air quality Some aspects of sustainable design are not new. Attention has been given in the past to energy conservation and efficiency, water conservation, recycling, reduced use of ozone depleting substances, and avoidance of the use of certain harmful substances such as asbestos, lead based paints, and PCB‟s.
