Introduction

Sustainable Development
Sustainable development refers to a balanced approach that aims to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs.
How did sustainable development
started?

Sustainable Development
It is a concept that first appeared in 1987 under
the publication of the Brundtland Report.

It starts in the second half of the 19th century.

Western societies discovered that industrial and
economic activities significantly impacted the
environment and the social balance.

 GREEN
BUILDING
Green building refers to the practice of designing, constructing, and operating buildings in an environmentally responsible and resource-efficient manner.
HISTORY
OF
GREEN
BUILDING
In the 1960s, American architect Paul Soleri proposed a new concept of ecological
architecture.
In 1969, American architect Ian McHarg wrote the book "Design Integrates Nature",
which marked the official birth of ecological architecture.
In the 1970s, the energy crisis caused various building energy-saving technologies
such as solar energy, geothermal energy, and wind energy to emerge, and energy-
saving buildings became the forerunner of building development.
In 1990, the world's first green building standard was released in the UK.
In 1992, because the "United Nations Conference on Environment and Development"
promoted the idea of sustainable development, green buildings gradually became
the direction of development.
In 1993, the United States created the Green Building Association.
In 1996, Hong Kong introduced green building standards.
In 1999, Taiwan introduced green building standards.
In 2000, Canada introduced green building standards.
In 2005, Singapore initiated the "BCA Green Building Mark"
In 2015, China implemented the "Green Building Evaluation Standards"
In 2021, the first, both low-cost and sustainable 3D printed house made out of a clay-mixture was completed

Green Star certification is an environmental rating system for

buildings and communities, developed by the Green Building
Council of Australia (GBCA). It is widely recognized as one of
the leading green building certification programs in Australia.
Green Star aims to promote sustainable design,
construction, and operation practices for buildings and urban
developments.
