    Green Building and Sustainable Architecture: A Responsible Approach To Environmental and Human Health

    Uploaded by

    Muhammad Jufri
    The document discusses sustainable architecture and green building. It defines sustainability as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. Sustainable design aims to reduce environmental and health impacts over a building's lifecycle, considering resources like water, energy, and materials. The principles of sustainability in architecture are to reduce and reuse natural resources, take a lifecycle approach, and create harmony between humans and nature. The document outlines the pre-building, building, and post-building phases and discusses preserving natural conditions and enhancing human comfort. It provides examples of green building types and describes sustainable remodeling of existing structures.

    What is Sustainability?

    Sustainability - Meeting the


    needs of the present
    without compromising the
    ability of future generations
    to meet their own needs.
    World Commission on
    Environment and
    Development
    Sustainable Design

    Reduces the negative impact on the environment


    and human health, thus improving the
    performance during a building’s life cycle. Careful
    consideration is given to
    water, energy, building
    materials, and solid waste.
    Principles of Sustainability
    in Architecture
    • Economy of Resources - Reduce, recycle,
    and reuse natural resources

    • Life Cycle Design - Structured


    methodology for the building process

    • Humane Design - Harmony between


    humans and nature
    Sustainable Building Life Cycle

    • Pre-Building

    • Building

    • Post-Building
    Pre-Building Phase
    •Site selection, building design, and building material
    processes, up to but not including installation.
    •Examine the
    environmental
    consequences of
    the structure’s
    design,
    orientation, impact
    on the landscape,
    and materials
    used.
    Building Phase
    •Construction and
    operation processes
    reduce the
    environmental impact of
    resource consumption
    •Long-term health
    effects of the building
    environment on its
    occupants are
    considered
    Post-Building Phase

    Old materials become


    resources for other buildings
    or waste to be returned to
    nature. The sustainable
    design strategy focuses on
    reducing construction waste
    by recycling and reusing
    packaging and excess
    material.
    Preservation of Natural
    Conditions
    An architect should minimize the impact of a
    building on its local ecosystem (e.g., existing
    topography, plants, and wildlife).
    Human Comforts
    A building’s design should enhance the work
    and home environments. This can improve
    productivity, reduce stress, and positively affect
    health and well being.
    Types of Green and Sustainable
    Buildings
    • Homes
    • Schools
    • Commercial and public buildings
    • Laboratories
    • Health care facilities
    Sustainable Remodeling

    Existing buildings can remodel and install


    improved mechanical components and update
    operating systems to make a building green.
