Frequently asked question

Sustainable building design is an approach to building design that emphasizes environmental sustainability, including energy efficiency, water conservation, sustainable materials, and waste reduction. This approach aims to create buildings that have a minimal environmental impact and support long-term sustainability

Energy-efficient design is important in sustainable building because it reduces the amount of energy required to operate buildings, which in turn reduces greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impact. It also helps to reduce energy costs and improve indoor air quality.

Common energy-efficient design strategies include insulation, efficient lighting and lighting controls, high-efficiency heating and cooling systems, renewable energy sources, water conservation, and sustainable materials.
