Sustainability encompasses responsibilities towards social, energy, water, pollution and economic factors.
International green building certifications like LEED [4,5] considers sustainable sites as one of the elements of the certification and considers storm water management, heat island, visual pollution, water use for irrigation, onsite renewable energy.
Dow Jones uses the NASDAQ - Global Sustainability Index have taken a leadership role in disclosing their carbon footprint, energy usage, water consumption, hazardous and non-hazardous waste, employee safety, work force diversity, management composition and community investing [6].
Semiconductor industry uses large quantities of energy and water and uses many toxic and greenhouse gases in the processes.
Secondary data sources were from direct interaction with process and facilities professionals from the industry and academia in Singapore.

These objectives are accomplished through providing societies with places for education, culture, business, entertainment as well as constructing infrastructure such as water, power supply, sewerage, highways, and railways projects [10-11].
However, there is a lack of professional expertise, shortage of full understanding of scientific and technical requirements.
There isn't any agreement between academics and professionals that academic institutions do not equip graduates with necessary skills required to meet the requirements of R-B construction industry which highlights the need for human development.
Therefore, providing quality education and vocational training is a key driver for building national capacity and equipping professional human resources with state-of-the-art knowledge and technical skills needed to overcome, both the engineering and professional human development challenges.
Provide quality education, professional training programs and diligently engineering methods.

After the establishment of Environmental Protection Tribunals, environmental public interest litigations against water pollution began to break the ice.In Guiyang, due to the serious pollution of drinking water source, the situation of drinking water safety is very grim.
In the source water pollution case of Lianghuyiku Administration v.
Dingpa Paper Mill, in order to determine the causal relationship between pollution and damage, there were two people’s assessors in the collegial panel, one of which was a senior engineer in environmental protection and the other was a professional personal with doctorate degree.
It can prevent water pollution from producing and spreading.
These measures guarantee to protect water sources effectively.

Depending on temperature and pressure conditions can be produced: hot water, water and steam mixtures, wet steam and dry steam.
From this reason there is most important for successful development to appoint very professional partners in development and to split the project to the logical development stages each describing the specific futures and targets for individual stages [8]. 1.
The first stage has to demonstrate the feasibility and suitable technical options of the project and also the way of professional approach in exploration of geothermal potential and suitable technical solution to use it.
The results are cumulated in several studies and professional reports and today are the best library for evaluating also the Slovakian Geothermal potential and availability of geothermal sources.

Roofs insulation materials should not use materials with high density, good heat conductivity and strong water absorption.
To achieve energy efficiency in water supply and drainage design, rational use can be made of excess pressure of municipal pipe network, the use of frequency of water supply equipment; rational design of water supply systems using solar energy as heat source as possible; water saving equipments like water saving materials, appliances and devices should be popularized, outdated products should be prohibited in practice, water consumption and energy consumption from increasing pressure can be reduced, collection and overall utilization of rainwater of energy can also save energy.
Hot water pipe network design should be packed with economical and reasonable materials.
Moreover, he is in good position to cooperate well with professionals in other majors in order to design buildings consistent with architectural principles and energy efficiency principles.
The design of building water saving technology analysis.

For decades, many professionals at home and abroad have paid much attention to the study of cave dwellings in the loess plateau, which is not merely because of the unique architectural style, but more significantly is related to tens of millions of people’s living condition and the new era of "living culture" problem.
There are various YaoMian, wihch adopt different checkers, such as the RuYi, the character Wan or Gong, the double happiness, the water moire and the clouding moire, etc. for good luck and blessings.
Water supply and drainage measures On water supply of the caves, to use water pump pumping groundwater, and the roof water tanks for temporary storage, then make use of gravity feed to deliver water from the tank to the sitting room, kitchen, toilet, etc..
Construction drainage sewage and toilet waste directly drain into the pool to produce biogas. [5] Additionally, dig the cisterns in the courtyard to collect the rainwater and utilize comprehensively to save water.
In terms of living hot water, to use passive solar energy water heater to provide hot water.

Since the green building design and green construction serve as the important means to carry out the strategy of sustainable development in the construction industry, it has already been understood for numerous professionals.
However, application of the concept of green construction can also generate savings in the construction .For example, by reducing the destruction of the construction site, earth excavation operation and the installation of artificial systems to reduce on-site clean-up costs; by monitoring water consumption, reducing water with re-using rainwater or construction waste in allowed occasions; through a more careful Procurement and re-use of resources and materials, reduce material costs.
Some water saving measures are not applied as the cost savings may be lower than its inputs if there is no systematic long-term use. 3.
Overall Frame Green construction general framework is composed by six aspects, including construction management, environmental protection, material-saving and material resources utilization, water-saving and water resource utilization, and energy saving and energy utilization, land-saving and construction land protection.
(3) Water-saving Measure According to the situation of local water resources, water-saving measures will be formulated
