Definition
• Design creating healthy living environments. Minimizing negative environmental
impacts, energy consumption, and human resource use.

The importance
• Sustainability in architecture addresses the negative environmental and social
impacts of buildings by utilizing design methods, materials, energy and
development spaces that aren’t detrimental to the surrounding ecosystem or
communities. The philosophy is to ensure that the actions taken today don’t have
negative consequences for future generations and comply with the principles of
social, economic and ecological sustainability.
