environmentally conscious design techniques
minimize the negative environmental impact
enhancing efficiency and moderation

1. materials
2. energy
3. development space

=========================================

Energy

Sustainable energy use

• Low-energy house 
• Zero-energy building

Energy efficiency = life cycle of a building most important goal of sustainable architecture

Heating, ventilation and cooling system efficiency

• Renewable energy generation 
• Solar panels 
• Wind turbines 
• Solar water heating 
• Heat pumps

=====================================================

Sustainable building materials

Green building

• blown-in fiber glass insulation 
• sustainably harvested wood 
• Trass 
• Linoleum 
• concrete (high and ultra high performance roman self-healing concrete ),
• panels made from paper flakes
• baked earth
• rammed earth
• clay
• vermiculite
• flax linnen
• sisal
• seegrass
• cork
• expanded clay grains
• coconut
• wood fibre plates
• calcium sand stone
• locally obtained stone and rock
• bamboo (non-toxic low-VOC glues and paints.)

Recycled material , Lower volatile organic compounds, Materials Sustainability Standards, ==================================================================================
