Appropriate Building Technology Lecture 2.1

Sustainable building design and construction can be achieved through consideration at all stages of a project from conceptual design to execution. This includes using materials and construction processes that are resource efficient, promote good indoor air quality, and conserve energy and water. Key elements of sustainable buildings are passive design features for heating, cooling, and lighting, compact building forms, and prioritizing occupant health, comfort, and productivity.

BUILDING PROCESS CONSTRUCTION PROCESS


Cost minimization and sustainable design can be • Skilled construction worker
achieved through close and serious consideration • Quality of construction
at all general stages of a building project and the
construction process • Assembling templates, alignment, guidance
General stages • prefabrication
• Conceptual stage
• Preliminary design stage
• Final design
• execution
Sustainable identification

The idea of sustainability or ecological design is to ensure that


our action and decisions today do not inhibit the opportunities
of the future generation.
this means making sure that our efforts work with our earths
ecological system rather than against it
A sustainable building meet the interest of the owner, while
considering the environment and the society
The concept of sustainable building incorporates and integrated
a variety of strategies during the design, construction and
operational of building projects
Sustainable identification

sustainable architecture is designed, built, renovated, operated,


or reused in an ecological and resource efficient manner
It is architecture which is designed to meet certain objective
such as protecting occupant health: improving employee
productivity using energy, water and other resources more
efficiently: and reducing the overall impact to the environment
Implementation of sustainable building

• The building itself is subordinated in its FUNDAMENTALS


function to the people
• Make demand analysis
• The design is of central importance
• Consider the useful life of the building
• Sustainable construction takes place in the
• Avoid difficultly separable materials
minds of planner
• Use low pollution materials
• Sustainable construction means a new
orientation of the orders for designing and
• Use durable materials
planning • Well-designed architecture

ADDITIONAL NATURAL LIGHT


• Minimize energy for transportation • Appearance depend on weather, daytime and season
• Use permeable material for paved areas • Colored objects look better
• Compact building • Gives people a sense of day, season and climate
• Place window effective – daylight • Promote the human metabolism and encourage the
soul
• Include passive features for heating, cooling,
ventilation and shading
• Save energy

ORIENTATION USER BEHAVIOR


• Consider the impact of trees, topography, • Huge on energy consumption and indoor climate
neighboring building… • Users are to introduce with the special aspects of
• Prefer south – north orientation for the sustainable building
building and windows
INDOOR CLIMATE
• Air exchange 25 – 30 m3 person

 COMFORT

• Well-being of people
• Uniform temperature(air and external walls between - a crucial base for the
physical and mental capacity)
• Human metabolism works perfectly in comfortable condition
• Used materials and their colors
• Good illumination increase activities
Sustainable building material

Composed of renewable rather than nonrenewable resources


Environmentally responsible because impacts are considered over the life of the product
• RESOURCE EFFICIENT include such criteria as : recycled content, natural plentiful or
renewable, locally available, reuse or recyclable
• GOOD INDOOR AIR QUALITY (IAQ) – include meet such criteria as low or non toxic
moister resistant healthfully to maintain.
• ENERGY EFFICIENT : materials content, and system that helps reduce energy consumption
in building and facilities
• WATER CONSERVATION reduce water consumption in building, conserve water in
landscape
