2. WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE? The World Commission on Environment and Development defines sustainability as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. When applying this complex concept to architecture, it then refers to design that creates healthy living environments while aiming to minimize negative environmental impacts, energy consumption, and use of human resources. Sustainable architecture is reflected in a building’s materials, construction methods, resource use and design in general. The design must also facilitate sustainable operation during the building life cycle, including its ultimate disposal. While it has to be functional and aesthetically superior, the space has to be constructed with the mind-set of achieving long-term energy and resource efficiency.

3. WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE? Sustainable architecture means being able to satisfy consumers’ requests, taking the time and natural resources needed into consideration from the very early stages of the project, entering the context in the most natural way possible, planning ahead by making the space and materials employed completely reusable.

4. What Makes a Building Sustainable? A green building is a structure that reduces its impact by being resource efficient and environmentally responsible over the course of its life-cycle. They provide the same benefits as conventional buildings, while simultaneously protecting the environment, improving human health and well-being, and conserving valuable resources like water and energy. In extreme cases, green buildings are even able to regenerate natural systems by protecting habitat, cleaning water or harvesting renewable energy. ·Energy efficiency ·Renewable energy generation ·Water efficiency ·Storm water management ·Superior indoor environment SOME OF THE MORE COMMON FEATURES OF A SUSTAINABLE BUILDING INCLUDE: · Green transportation capacity ·Sustainable materials ·Effective waste management ·Easy and efficient maintenance ·Site sustainability

5. “Buildings and construction account for more than 35% of global final energy use and nearly 40% of energy-related CO2 emissions.” -UN Environment, Global Status Report 2017 WHY IS SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE IMPORTANT? While metropolises are continuously expanding, the Earth itself is not getting any bigger. This growth has a huge impact to the environment because the process of developing new habitats for our communities constantly requires a huge chunk of our natural resources. The Earth is not an unlimited well that can replenish itself to match the pace of modernization.

6. Designing sustainable architecture means taking a few fundamental elements into consideration: orientation, shading and sunlight crated by pre-existing elements, natural ventilation, as well as the use of biomass, Ambient Assisted Living or domestics and renewable energy systems, all created and incorporated with materials studied specifically to interact with the environment and its characteristics. Sustainability in architecture doesn’t only mean reducing energy use and waste. It can’t be segmented into various subcategories because it represents a fundamental and intrinsic combination of factors related to our existence on this planet. The choices that make an architectural or urban project environmentally friendly aren’t the only individual strategies to be employed; a sustainable building must define the way in which the people who inhabit them live, for example reducing waste and energy use not only in their own neighborhoods but in the entire city. WHY IS SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE IMPORTANT?

7. Benefits/Impacts of Sustainable Architecture

8. Environmental Benefits of Sustainable Architecture Sustainable architecture is a critical solution to our planet’s pressing environmental challenges, such as climate change, resource depletion, and biodiversity loss. By embracing sustainable design principles, architects, interior designers, and construction companies can: ·Reduce the consumption of non-renewable resources, promoting renewable and recycled materials. ·Lower greenhouse gas emissions by minimizing energy consumption and incorporating renewable energy sources. ·Preserve and promote biodiversity through responsible site selection, landscaping, and the use of native plants.

9. Economic Benefits of Sustainable Architecture In addition to the environmental advantages, sustainable architecture offers numerous economic benefits, making it an attractive choice for building owners, investors, and tenants. These economic benefits include: ··Long-term cost savings due to reduced energy and water consumption, leading to lower utility bills. ·Decreased maintenance costs and increased durability, as sustainable buildings are designed to last longer and require fewer repairs and replacements. ·Enhanced property values and marketability, as environmentally conscious tenants and clients are increasingly seeking out sustainable spaces. ·Potential financial incentives include tax credits and rebates for incorporating sustainable design features in new construction and renovations.

10. Social Benefits of Sustainable Architecture The social benefits of sustainable architecture are not to be underestimated, as they contribute to the overall well-being and satisfaction of building occupants. Green buildings provide: ·Healthier indoor environments result from improved air quality, access to natural light, and better acoustics, enhancing occupant health, well-being, and productivity. ·A sense of community and pride, as people feel connected to and proud of living and working in environmentally responsible buildings. ·Educational opportunities, such as sustainable buildings, often serve as living examples of sustainable practices and technologies, inspiring others to adopt similar approaches in their projects. By understanding and embracing these benefits, architects, interior designers, and construction companies can create spaces that protect the environment and contribute to the economic and social well-being of the communities they serve.

11. PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABLE ARCHITETCURE

12. Energy Efficiency Adopting all solar passive solutions at the design stage before actual construction begins is required for the creation of a practically zero-energy passive building. For example, passive solar heating/cooling, building daylighting, and rainwater collection provisions.

13. Energy Efficient Materials SMARTER WINDOW POWER UP WITH NANOTECHNOLOGY According to Princeton University experts, futuristic smart windows might save up to 40% on energy bills. The researchers created a novel form of smart window that regulates the amount of light and heat entering the building and is self-powered by transparent solar cells built into the window. ENGINEERED WOOD To improve the strength and performance of standard construction wood. Because of its insulating structure and capacity to absorb moisture, it enables contractors to construct highly energy-efficient homes. STRUCTURAL INSULATED PANELS Because SIP construction uses up to 50% less energy throughout the construction process, it is regarded as being energy-efficient. Additionally, because the panels are airtight and substantial, structural insulated panel homes consume less energy to maintain a comfortable temperature. VACUUM INSULATION PANELS By lowering their thermal transmittance value, vacuum insulated glazing technology enables homes and buildings to have windows that use zero energy. As a result, there is no internal energy loss, which greatly improves the area's energy efficiency.

14. Water Efficiency is a resource management approach that includes analyzing water costs and uses, specifying water-saving solutions, installing water-saving measures, and verifying savings in order to maximize the cost-effective use of water resources. STRATEGIES THAT INCREASE WATER EFFICIENCY a)Install efficient plumbing fixtures b)Use non potable water c)Install submeters d)Choose locally adapted plants e)Use xeriscaping f)Select efficient irrigation technologies

15. Materials Selection Eco-friendly materials are used in sustainable design. Some examples of sustainable construction components include recycled metal, stone, verified third-party forest wood, bamboo, and straw. Sustainable materials such as bamboo, hemp, cork, flax, and soy can be utilized instead of traditional materials such as concrete. Bamboo Bamboo is an extremely sustainable building material with numerous qualities that have propelled it to the forefront of the green building sector. It is one of the world's quickest growing plants. Bamboo is a fantastic building material for those who want to live an environmentally responsible lifestyle because it can be harvested in four to five years. Hempcrete Hempcrete is an innovative building material created from the hemp plant's woody inner core. It is a breathable, thermally insulating, and fireproof lightweight natural composite material. It is also a natural pest repellant and is safe for the environment.

16. Sheep’s Wool Because of its unique properties, sheep's wool is increasingly becoming a frequently utilized sustainable building material. It is a natural substance, which means it is derived from animals, but it is also biodegradable and simple to recycle or reuse. Wool is a superb insulator, keeping dwellings cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and it also has excellent soundproofing capabilities. Ferrock Ferrock is a revolutionary and environmentally friendly building material manufactured from recycled elements such as steel dust and carbon dioxide emissions. It is a type of geopolymer concrete that is activated with carbon dioxide and is composed of iron oxide and sand. The material subsequently cures and hardens, becoming strong and long-lasting concrete. Ferrock is not only a green building material, but it is also extremely robust and can take double the load of regular concrete, making it ideal for construction projects.

17. Indoor Environmental Quality ·Indoor Environmental Quality Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) is the quality of a building's environment that is related to the residents' health or well-being. IEQ considers air quality, illumination, moisture, acoustics, and thermal conditions. Access to daylight and vistas, as well as tenant control over the space, are all aspects of IEQ. ·SITE AND COMMUNITY IMPACT A building's location affects a variety of environmental factors, as well as other aspects like safety, accessibility, energy use for the building and energy used by occupants' transportation needs for commuting, effects on the local ecosystem, and use or reuse of existing structures or infrastructure. Engage the community in the design process at all stages to make sure the design reflects their requirements and preferences.

18. SUSTAINABLE STRATEGIES AND ELEMENTS Sustainable architecture incorporates a variety of design features that promote environmentally responsible building practices. Among the benefits of this new way of conceiving design we find the optimization of resources, energy savings, reduction of environmental impact and the well-being of the population.

19. Passive Design Strategies Passive design strategies involve utilizing natural light and heat to minimize energy consumption, as well as natural ventilation to cool and ventilate buildings. These strategies include designing buildings that make the most of natural light, ventilation, and shading. By doing so, the need for artificial lighting and air conditioning can be reduced, resulting in lower energy usage. Active Design Strategies Active sustainable design is an approach to sustainable architecture that involves the integration of mechanical and electrical systems into building design to reduce energy consumption and minimize environmental impact.

20. - Harvesting technology plays an important role in sustainable development by providing renewable sources of energy and resources that can help reduce the reliance on finite resources and reduce the environmental impact of human activities. HARVESTING TECHNOLOGY Building envelope design is an important element of sustainable design. The building envelope is the barrier between the interior and exterior of the building, including the walls, roof, foundation, windows, doors, and insulation. An efficient building envelope is designed to prevent air and water infiltration, control heat transfer, and optimize natural lighting, ventilation, and insulation. EFFICIENT BUILDING ENVELOPE Water conservation is an important element of sustainable design. Strategies like rainwater harvesting, greywater reuse, and low-flow fixtures can help reduce water consumption. WATER CONSERVATION

21. Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) is an important aspect of sustainable design that focuses on creating a healthy, comfortable, and productive indoor environment for building occupants. IEQ encompasses a range of factors, including air quality, lighting, acoustics, thermal comfort, and ergonomics. INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY (IEQ) Smart building technology like sensors and automation systems can optimize energy use and reduce waste. Thus, through automation, energy management, safety and comfort in a home are enhanced. SMART BUILDING TECHNOLOGY: Landscaping choices can make a big impact in civic building water consumption. By using trees, plants, and grasses that are native to the area, architects can greatly reduce irrigation needs. Landscaping can also be used as part of a passive energy strategy. By planting trees that shade the roof and windows during the hottest time of the day, solar heat gain inside the building can be reduced. NATIVE LANDSCAPING

22. Designing buildings that are adaptable and can be repurposed or reused over time can reduce waste and lower the environmental impact of new construction. ADAPTABILITY: A life-cycle analysis can be used to evaluate the environmental impact of a building from construction through occupancy and eventual demolition. LIFE-CYCLE ANALYSIS: The use of sustainable and environmentally friendly building materials like bamboo, recycled plastic, or reclaimed wood can reduce the impact on natural resources and improve indoor air quality. Recycled, reused, repurposed SUSTAINABLE BUILDING MATERIALS AND FINISHES.

23. They are also called “temperature leaks” and, as the name suggests, they impede both energy efficiency and waterproofing. To combat them, it is necessary to proceed with insulation techniques based on thermal materials. Vertical gardens contribute to the recovery of the environment and promote isolation as they cover walls and facades. Among other advantages, vertical gardens filter harmful gases, regulate temperatures and produce oxygen. are an eco-friendly roofing solution that involves growing plants on rooftops. This strategy can help reduce stormwater runoff and provide insulation, which can reduce heating and cooling needs. Additionally, green roofs can improve air quality, provide habitat for wildlife, and reduce the urban heat island effect. GREEN ROOFS VERTICAL GARDENS ELIMINATION OF THERMAL BRIDGES

27. CHALLENGES OF SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE

28. A. COST AND FINANCING Building construction can’t be done without any cost or financial involvement. As sustainable architecture intends to minimize the negative environmental impact of infrastructure, it also comes at its own expense.

29. A. COST AND FINANCING a. Sustainable building materials are often expensive. Example: Solar panels, rainwater harvesting system b. Some sustainable building materials have low lifespan. Example: Bamboo c.Sustainable architecture may dictate how and where a facility should be located.

30. A. COST AND FINANCING Construction costs for sustainable buildings might be high. It can be challenging for developers to justify the up-front expense of a solar panel system because the energy savings may not be understood for several years.

31. B. LIMITED AVAILABILITY OF SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS Another challenge of sustainable architecture is the limited availability of sustainable materials and technologies. Many of these products are still in the early stages of development and are often more expensive or less durable than traditional materials. a.Rarity of resources b.Rarity of manufacturer/construction c. Limited access

32. C. RESISTANCE TO CHANGE AND TRADITIONAL BUILDING PRACTICES Following the traditional viewpoint, opposition to long-term change is ineffective and expensive. They perceive it as a danger to the current norm. Additionally, architects desired long-term security and comfort. Sustainable design will demonstrate its benefits considering the world's environmental issues.

33. CONCLUSION ·Definition of sustainable architecture ·What makes a building sustainable? ·Importance of architecture ·Benefits and impacts of sustainable architecture (through environment, economy and social) ·Principles of sustainable architecture (Energy, efficiency, Water efficiency, materials selection, indoor environmental quality, site and community) ·Examples features seen on sustainable architecture (Green roofs and walls, net-zero energy buildings, sustainable materials, LEED certified buildings, Passive house buildings) ·Challenges of sustainable architecture (Cost and financing, limited availability of sustainable materials, resistance to change and traditional building practices ·Importance of sustainable architecture for a sustainable future

34. Importance of sustainable architecture for a sustainable future The objective of sustainability, also known as ecological design, is to ensure that our present usage of available resources does not have negative effects for our collective well-being or make future access to resources problematic.

35. In the twenty-first century, the sustainable movement has developed and changed quickly. This movement is a response to the different challenges in the human-earth interaction that appear to be more disruptive and seemingly intractable. Many new concepts and approaches emerge once the period of sustainable development emerges, such as biophilia, cradle-to-cradle, resilience planning, natural step, permaculture, living buildings, eco-districts, transition cities, integrative and biomimetic design, and so on. “Sustainable Development is important for the environmental stability of our Mother Earth. The main focus of Sustainable Development is to preserve the natural resources and use them very cautiously so that we can protect our Mother Earth from devastation” THE DEFINITION IS BASED ON TWO CONCEPTS: 1.The concept of needs, comprising of the conditions for maintaining an acceptable life standard for all people, and 2.The concept of limits of the capacity of the environment to fulfil the needs of the present and the future, determined by the state of technology and social organization. Sustainable design is the thoughtful integration of architecture with electrical, mechanical, and structural engineering. In addition to concern for the tradition; aesthetics of massing, proportion, scale, texture. Shadow and light, the facility design team needs to be concerned with long term costs: environmental, economic and human. All in all, sustainable design is more of a philosophy of a building than perspective building style.
