1 Sustainable materials

One of the first steps to reduce your building’s environmental impact is to select materials that are low in embodied energy, carbon emissions, and waste. Embodied energy is the amount of energy required to produce, transport, and install a material. Carbon emissions are the greenhouse gases that are released during the material’s life cycle. Waste is the amount of material that is discarded or unused during construction or demolition. Some examples of sustainable materials are timber, bamboo, recycled steel, hempcrete, and straw bale.

Nowadays environmental concerns are rising for creating concrete jungles. There is something that every designer can do to reduce the negative affects on nature. Material choices are one of the best options for that, natural ventilation, using the natural resources for creating energy, such as wind, sun, water. Which will make design more sustainable as well as will reduce some money for clients in the future

2 Passive design

Another way to reduce your building’s environmental impact is to use passive design principles that harness natural elements to regulate the indoor climate. Passive design can reduce the need for artificial heating, cooling, lighting, and ventilation, which can save energy and money. Some passive design strategies are orientation, shading, insulation, thermal mass, natural ventilation, and daylighting.

3 Energy modeling

To measure and improve the energy performance of your building, you can use energy modeling tools that simulate the energy consumption and generation of your building based on its design, location, and operation. Energy modeling can help you identify the best solutions for reducing energy demand, increasing energy efficiency, and integrating renewable energy sources. Some examples of energy modeling tools are EnergyPlus, eQUEST, DesignBuilder, and OpenStudio.

4 Life cycle assessment

To evaluate the environmental impact of your building throughout its entire life cycle, from cradle to grave, you can use life cycle assessment (LCA) tools that quantify the environmental effects of your building’s materials, construction, use, maintenance, and disposal. LCA can help you compare different design options and optimize your building’s sustainability. Some examples of LCA tools are Athena Impact Estimator, Tally, One Click LCA, and eToolLCD.

5 Green certification

To demonstrate and communicate the environmental performance of your building, you can use green certification tools that provide a framework and a rating system for assessing and verifying your building’s sustainability. Green certification can help you gain recognition and credibility for your green efforts and attract more clients and investors. Some examples of green certification tools are LEED, BREEAM, Green Star, and Passive House.

Adding vegetation and plantation to your home or any design is good. However maintaining it is difficult. We need to design their system for maintenance. Instead of green plantations. We can go home farming which is very beneficial for clients, for environments as well. However, climate zone and context is crucial for these items

6 User feedback

To monitor and improve the environmental impact of your building after it is occupied, you can use user feedback tools that collect and analyze data from the building’s users, such as occupants, managers, and operators. User feedback can help you understand how the building is used, perceived, and maintained, and how it affects the well-being and satisfaction of the users. User feedback can also help you identify and address any issues or gaps in your building’s performance. Some examples of user feedback tools are surveys, interviews, focus groups, and sensors.
