Study of sustainable architecture – use

of energy as related to construction

and operation of building.

What is sustainable architecture ?

Sustainable architecture is architecture that seeks to minimize the negative

environmental impact of buildings by efficiency and moderation in the use of materials,
energy, and development space and the ecosystem at large. Sustainable architecture
uses a conscious approach to energy and ecological conservation in the design of the
built environment.

What is Energy efficiency?

Energy efficiency simply means using less energy to perform the same task – that is,
eliminating energy waste. Energy efficiency brings a variety of benefits: reducing
greenhouse gas emissions, reducing demand for energy imports, and lowering our costs
on a household and economy-wide level. While renewable energy technologies also help
accomplish these objectives, improving energy efficiency is the cheapest – and often the
most immediate – way to reduce the use of fossil fuels. There are enormous
opportunities for efficiency improvements in every sector of the economy, whether it is
buildings, transportation, industry, or energy generation.
