According to researches, buildings use 71% of total electricity consumed, 39% of energy and 12% of drinking water. In addition, it is stated that 40% of carbon dioxide emission and 30% of the resulting wastes originate from buildings. The solution to these problems starts with using buildings that respect the environment and consume natural resources to a minimum.
Green building design is a complete process starting with the architectural design and carry out with mechanical and electrical systems design. From land selection, recyclable material selection, shading design, natural lighting, insulation selection to natural ventilation, many topics are considered.
