3.1 essential questions

1. How do Land Use and Development regulations help or hinder development in a community?
They help by making sure land is used properly and by preventing construction on a contaminated site, and they hurt by sometimes preventing use of land because there is nobody wanting to build on a particular spot of land for its zoned use.

2. Why are building codes important in the construction of buildings?
Without them, buildings would be constructed haphazardly and without regard for use or location.

3. How does commercial building design and construction differ from residential building design and construction?
Commercial buildings usually are larger and have higher traffic and loads than residential buildings.

4. What factors influence the choice of commercial construction materials?
Cost, strength, and weight

5. How do sustainable design alternatives, such as a green roof, impact the environment and quality of life?
Sustainable design alternatives often make things more attractive as well as making them more energy efficient.
