Answer 1

Sure! Here’s a filled-out version based on hypothetical strategies that might be applied in a building context:

I decided not to use **open floor plans** because **they can lead to reduced privacy and increased noise levels, making it difficult for occupants to concentrate and be productive.**

I decided not to use **heavy reliance on natural light** because **it can cause issues with glare and heat during certain times of the day, potentially leading to discomfort for occupants and increased energy costs for cooling.**

I decided not to use **high-energy-consuming appliances** because **they can significantly increase operational costs and reduce the building's overall energy efficiency, which is not sustainable in the long run.**
