5.3 选址效率

English（英文原文）	中文（中文翻译）
In addition to the number of other buildings in an area, it's also important to consider the types of these buildings and existing infrastructure. High-density development alone does not guarantee a desirable location. For example, a cluster of high-rise apartment buildings with no other building types nearby would still require residents to travel for basic amenities like medical care, school, and job opportunities. Depending on the method, this travel may have negative environmental impacts. In the context of a project, these essential amenities are known as nearby uses.	除了区域内其他建筑的数量外，还需要考虑这些建筑的类型和现有基础设施。仅有高密度开发并不能保证位置的优越性。例如，一群高层公寓楼附近如果没有其他建筑类型，居民仍然需要出行获取医疗服务、学校和工作机会等基本便利设施。根据出行方式的不同，这种出行可能对环境产生负面影响。在项目背景下，这些基本便利设施被称为邻近用途。
Green Building Strategies / 绿色建筑策略
Green building strategies consider the efficiency of potential locations. Location efficiency refers to the effect of a facility's location on travel behavior and related impacts. If people can have many of their needs met in a small geographic area, it reduces the amount of travel required. Therefore, green buildings seek out locations in mixed-use areas, those with a variety of publicly available buildings and space types that serve many different needs.	绿色建筑策略考虑潜在位置的效率。选址效率是指设施位置对出行行为及相关影响的作用。如果人们可以在较小的地理区域内满足许多需求，就能减少所需的出行量。因此，绿色建筑选择混合用途区域的位置，这些区域具有多种公共建筑和空间类型，可满足多种不同需求。
An efficient location:	高效的位置：
Enables people to safely walk, wheel, and bike — activities that can improve people's health, save them money, and reduce pollution by reducing the number of cars on the road. Supports local businesses and creates opportunities for social and cultural interactions.	使人们能够安全地步行、轮椅出行和骑自行车——这些活动可以改善健康、节省费用，并通过减少道路上的汽车数量来减少污染。支持当地企业，创造社会和文化互动的机会。
Offices, shops, government buildings, and multifamily housing tend to be a good fit for mixed-use development. Other project types, such as warehouses and distribution centers, may need to be in places with less efficient locations. But project teams can still seek locations that support reduced fuel use and the associated pollution.	办公楼、商店、政府建筑和多户住宅通常适合混合用途开发。其他项目类型（如仓库和配送中心）可能需要位于选址效率较低的地方。但项目团队仍可寻找支持减少燃料使用和相关污染的位置。
