Architecture and Sustainability<\/h3>\n

One of the key factors in improving the sustainability of a project is understanding the energy requirements of a building. Buildings such as houses, shops, offices and with Other uses account for 40% of world energy consumption and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions according to the European Commission (2010,2013).<\/p>\n

Achieving energy-efficient building<\/a> design is the way to improve sustainability \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Solar control

Construction project that uses architecture to minimize energy consumption and improve thermal comfort.<\/p>\n

– Building envelope design should seek to control solar radiation absorption and its effects within the future building;
\n– Sun protection and surrounding shading to reduce the incidence of direct solar radiation;
\n– Optimization, building compactness and window to wall ratio.<\/p>\n
