Read the following passage about the importance of green design in construction and mark the letter

[I] There has, in recent years, been an outpouring of information about the impact of buildings on the

design strives to convince others of its efficacy and warns of the dangers of ignoring the
issue. [III] However, these documents hardly offer any practical advice to practitioners, such as those 2

designing mechanical and electrical systems for a building, on how to utilize this knowledge effectively in their work. [IV]
While the terms green and sustainable are often viewed as synonymous, they represent different
concepts. Sustainability is defined as minimizing the negative impacts of human activities on the natural
environment, particularly those that have long-term and permanent effects. Some elements of green
design may also be sustainable, such as those that reduce energy usage and pollution, while others, like
ensuring indoor air quality, may be considered green even if they have no direct influence.
Although many advocates promote green construction within the architectural industry and can cite
numerous reasons for why buildings should be designed sustainably, this is not enough to bring green
construction to fruition. The driving force behind whether a building is constructed with minimal
environmental impact ultimately comes down to the owner; that is, the individual financing the project. If
the owner considers green design unimportant or of secondary importance, it is highly likely that it will
not be integrated into the design process.
The commissioning process is a key factor in ensuring that the building meets the owner's expectations
regarding design, budget, and risk management. At the predesign stage, the owner's objectives, criteria,
and the type of design they envision are discussed and documented, providing a solid foundation for the
design team. Owners who skip this process or overlook green issues often encounter significant
challenges once their building is operational. Although materials and equipment are installed as
planned, the owner may later realize that operational and maintenance costs are higher than necessary,
and that occupants are dissatisfied. These factors ultimately lead to increased ownership costs as well as a greater environmental impact.
Question 15. Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?
“This lack of guidance is challenging for professionals to integrate sustainability into their designs.” A. [IV] B. [I] C. [II] D. [III]
Question 16. The word “convince” in paragraph 1 is OPPOSITE in meaning to __________. A. discourage B. demonstrate C. encourage D. influence
Question 17. The word “those” in paragraph 2 refers to __________. A. effects B. activities C. elements D. concepts
Question 18. According to paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT a characteristic of green design?
A. Reducing pollution
B. Causing permanent effects
C. Reducing energy usage
D. Ensuring indoor air quality
Question 19. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3?
A. The owner's priorities greatly affect whether green design is included in projects.
B. Sustainable buildings are built regardless of the owner's preferences and priorities.
C. Green construction relies on regulations, often ignoring the owner's preferences.
D. The impact of green design often truly depends on project budget and timelines.
Question 20. The phrase “comes down to” in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by __________. A. depend on B. bring about C. keep up D. take on
Question 21. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The owner's involvement is crucial for implementing green design.
B. Green and sustainable design are considered interchangeable in construction. 3

B. Owners ignoring green design or the process often face big problems when using their buildings later.
C. Owners who follow the process usually reduce the cost of building materials and design fees quickly.
D. Owners skipping green topics may benefit from lower design risks and shorter construction time in cities.
Question 23. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Green design is often seen as a luxury only a few owners and developers can actually afford to use.
B. To apply green design successfully, owners must plan finances well and commit to long-term sustainability goals.
C. Green design works well without big costs, if the team truly focuses on using sustainable practices.
D. Ignoring full green design during construction leads to lower future costs and worse long-term environmental effects.

owner's financial backing being essential to achieving these goals.
B. Green design requires the owner's prioritization and financial support, along with a structured
commissioning process to ensure successful implementation.
C. Green construction completely depends on the owner's financial commitment and early-stage
