Sourcing and use of natural resources, particularly those finite, either in raw state, processed or produced, materials, items, products and applications, with associated and involved Energy, including 'Embodied Energy', together with Emissions, Pollutants, Waste and Re-use -
With buildings, actual physical construction, occupation+operation, maintaining+servicing and end-use.
And ultimately a Sustainable and non- Damaging and Harmful respect to the relationship; effects, behaviour and treatment towards our planet, it's make-up: environment, ecology, e,g. flora and fauna and fellow inhabitants, e.g. wildlife, organisms, insects, and animals etc...
