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.
