Green Architecture: A Concept of Sustainability

Abstract

At present the concept of sustainability has become very common interest in various disciplines. The reason for this popularity is to achieve the sustainable development. The Concept of green architecture, also known as “sustainable architecture” or “green building,” is the theory, science and style of buildings designed and constructed in accordance with environmentally friendly principles. The techniques of Green architecture are commonly used to decrease the number of resources used in the building construction, use and operation, as well as curtailing the harm done to the environment through the emission, pollution and waste of its components. To design, construct, operate and maintain buildings energy, water and new materials are utilized as well as amounts of waste causing negative effects to health and environment is generated. In order to bound these effects and design environmentally sound and resource efficient buildings; “green building systems” must be introduced, clarified, understood and practiced. The given research paper aims at emphasizing these complex and difficult issues of sustainability which comprise the scope of almost every aspect of human life.
