Architecture plays a key role in shaping the built environment and in recent years there has been a significant shift towards adopting environmentally friendly measures to create sustainable buildings.
Here are some ways architecture contributes to a sustainable future:
Green building certifications: Architects are increasingly designing buildings that meet certifications for green buildings such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), BREEAM (Building Environmental Research Methodology). These certifications promote energy efficiency, water conservation and environmentally friendly building materials.
Energy Efficient Design: Architects incorporate passive design strategies that maximize natural light, optimize ventilation and reduce the need for artificial heating and cooling. This helps minimize energy consumption and reduce overall operating costs.
