WHY GREEN CONSTRUCTION IS GROWING
Increased awareness of climate change
Rising energy cost
Tax breaks
GREEN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY EDGE PERSPECTIVE• Ethics
• Primarily focused with sustainability
• Renewable materials/energy efficiency (reduce pollution)
• Possible use of illegal foreign labor practices
• Provide the future with more than what we have today
• Ensure construction projects sufficiently meet safety standards and environmental standards set by government
• Diversity• Through diversity, new ideas, innovations, and discoveries to improve practices
• Collaboration with various countries/cultures during construction
• Construction in different (physical) environments
GREEN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY EDGE PERSPECTIVE• Global
• Globalization significant influence in the industry
• Global drivers include: • New technology, governance and regulations, environmental pressures, urbanization, drastic population
change
• Global drivers can create new markets, fluctuate taxes and fines, hinder availability of resources, cause extreme changes in demand
• Environment• Primary focus of Green Construction
• Sustainability of wealth for future generations
• Protecting the environment (carbon footprint)
• Creating homes and buildings more energy efficient
• Raising the quality of buildings constructed (useful life)
GREEN CONSTRUCTION EFFECTS ON SOCIETY
LEED or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program
Pollution
Waste Disposal
Resource and Energy Conservation
WHY THE DRONE INDUSTRY IS GROWING
Military conflicts
Government agencies
Civilian markets
DRONE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY EDGE PERSPECTIVE • Ethics
• To whom the industry conducts business with
• Drone technology poses threat if used by enemies of the United States
• Diversity• Drones currently used primarily for Military purposes
• Diversify abilities of drones to enter new markets beyond• Various climate conditions
• Law enforcement and firefighting enhancement
• Monitoring and measuring weather conditions
• Agricultural Purposes
• By entering different areas of world/cultures innovative changes can be found
DRONE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRYEDGE PERSPECTIVE• Global
• Development of new nations increases demand of drone technology• Drone technology enhances research capabilities
• Drone technology increases security
• As more countries develop and acquire drones, U.S. military demand will increase
• Environment• Raises quality of life and benefits society
• Protection of soldier’s through unmanned aerial vehicles
• Advanced military protecting the U.S. and allies citizens
• Surveillance capabilities can reduce crime
• Less resources expended when military uses drones versus humans
DRONE MANUFACTURING EFFECTS ON SOCIETY
Economic Growth
Creating Jobs
Possibility of a threat to U.S. National Security
OPINIONS OF GREEN CONSTRUCTION AND DRONES
It’s all about what
people…
Hear
Fail to hear
Choose to ignore
GREEN CONSTRUCTION
Being green does not mean you have to be a “tree-hugging hippie”
Being green is SMART not CHEAP
Becoming more accepted
DRONE MANUFACTURING
Drones are not necessarily going to be used to violate Americans’ privacy
Increased surveillance is a positive combatant to homeland crime
Drones will be great tools in foreign conflicts
