SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE

➢ Sustainable Architecture

➢ What Is Sustainability?

In the broadest sense, sustainability refers to the ability to mai ntain or support a process continuously over time. In business and policy contexts, sustainability seeks to prevent the depletion of natural or physical resources, so that they will remain available for the long term

Sustainable architecture principles:

Environmentally-friendly building materials :

Energy and resource efficiency :

➢ Sustainable Development

• Sustainable development is a concept that aims to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs

• It is an approach to development that takes into account economic, social, and environmental factors The goal of sustainable development is to achieve a balance between economic growth, social well-being, and environmental protection

NEEDS

Efficient use of space :

• A sustainable architect typically chooses to use envir onmentally-friendly building materials

• A sustainable architect recognizes that the energy efficiency of building s can be increased in a variety of ways.

• A building can be oriented to take full

• advantage of seasonal changes in the sun’s position, and energyefficient lighting and appliances can be installed.

• The importance of indoor environmental quality for affecting how an individual feels in a space and focuses on features such as a healthy indoo r environment with adequate ventilation, temperature control, and the use o f materials that do not emit toxic gases.

Sustainability is the key to a better future. Humans rely on natura l resources for business, activities, and survival. Ignoring sustaina bility can lead to the exhaustion of natural resources. Sustainability is important to study even if you aren't an environmental science major.

Circulation Pattern

The landscape is structured into a series of outdoor areas on the basis of visitor circulation and architectural function. The one-sided entry into the site was a key constraint for circulation.

Runoff Management

The surface run-off management strategy was proposed as an exten sion of the landscape design. Runoff was diverted towards the lower slopes by careful land grading, keeping ex isting trees in mind, into storm drains with recharge pits.

Excess volumes were dispersed into the low-lying area on site in the South-East, from where it was known to percolate into a pond outside the site.so

USED MATERIAL

• The galleries cover Terracotta

• Traditional Paintings, Stone and Wood carving,

• Metal crafts, Natural Crafts, Tribal Crafts, Pre-weaving techniques and Cocoons and lastly Handlooms.

An ecosystem is a structural and functional unit of ecology where the living organisms interact with each other and the surrounding environment.

Atmosphere

An atmosphere is made of the layers of gases surrounding a planet or other celestial body. Earth's atmosphere is composed of about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and one percent other gases.

Manmade Ecosystem

Artificial ecosystems are human-made structures where biotic and abiotic components are made to interact with each other for survival. It is not self-sustaining and can perish without human help. Examples of artificial ecosystems include aquariums, agriculture fields, zoos, etc.

IMPACT OF HUMAN ON ENVIORN MENT

Humans impact the physical environment in many ways : overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and defor estation. Changes like these have triggered climate chan ge, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water.

CONSTRUCTION IMPACT ON ECOSYSTEM

Every single construction action has an impact on the environment. From the materials that we choose, the technologies that we use, to the construction sites we build, all gen erate carbon gases that cause global warming. Of course, we cannot stop our business es and the whole economy, but we can balance our environmental impact with thoughtful actions.

Climate

Climate is the long-term weather pattern in a re gion, typically averaged over 30 years. More rig orously, it is the mean and variability of meteor ological variables over a time spanning from m onths to millions of years

STRATEGIES OF SUSTAINABLE

Solar Thermal Energy

This strategy can be used to pre-heat water from the municip al main, or well, to decrease the amount of energy needed by an on-demand water heater

Greywater Re-use

Greywater is a term used to describe water that has been used for showering, bathing, and hand-washing.

ACTIVE DESIGN STRATEGIES

Active design strategies use purchased energy (including electricity and natural gas) to keep buildings comfortable. These strategies include mechanical system components such as air-conditioning, heat pumps, radiant heating, heat recovery ventilators, and electric lighting.

Solar-electrical Power

Solar Electrical Power is generated by photovoltaic (PV) modules that harvest energy from the sun and convert it into electrical Energy.

High Efficiency HVAC System

An HVAC system refers to mechanical systems for Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning to maintain the desired environmental conditions within a space

Building Automation

Building Automation refers to the computer networking of electronic devices designed to monitor and control the HVAC, security, fire & safety, lighting, humidity and audio-visual control systems within a building.

High-Efficiency Appliances

High-Efficiency Appliances must meet regulated targets for energy consumption. These targets are set lower than typical energy-use for the same appliance.

NAME-VAISHNAVI B. PATIL FINAL YEAR B.ARCH DIV-B ROLL NO. 25

PASSIVE DESIGN STRATEGIES

Passive strategies are integrated into the design of a building to work with natural elements on a site (including sun and wind patterns) to provide natural heating and cooling of spaces through different seasons.

Site-optimization

Careful consideration of a building site will: minimize the disturbance on the land, protect current vegetation, mitigate the need for additional infrastructure, and provide opportunities for daylighting, solar heat gain, and natural shading and ventilation.

Natural Cross-Ventilation

Natural Cross-Ventilation occurs when air enters a building through openings such as windows and doors on one side, and exits on the opposite side.

Natural lighting

Natural lighting, also known as daylighting, is a technique that efficiently brings natural light into your home using exterior glazing (windows, skylights, etc.), thereby reducing artificial lighting requirements and saving energy.

Roofing

High albedo roofing materials reflect sunlight and limits the amount of heat absorbed by the roof to reduce unwanted heating of attic an d top floor spaces

Choice Of Materials

Choice of material depends on the outside climate around the building . However, the properties of material used, which governs their usage, can be noted as three different properties i.e. color, insulation property and assembly type.

Rainwater Collection

Rainwater Collection harve sts runoff water from roofs and other horizontal surfaces to be reused on the property.

ECO VILLAGES & CITIES

ECO - VILLAGES

Ecovillages are models of sustainable living. They are a grassroots movement of cohousing projects where its members live in intentional communities.

Principle of eco-village :

The principle of eco-village are based on the idea of living in harmony with the natural environment and promoting sustainability Here are some of the key principle the guide the design and operation of an eco-village.

ECO- CITIES

An Ecocity is a human settlement modeled on the self sustaining resilient structure and function of natural ecosystems.

The ecocity provides healthy abundance to its inhabitants with out consuming more (renewable) resources than it produces, without producing more waste than it can assimilate, and without being toxic to itself or neighboring ecosystems. Its inhabitants’ ecological impact reflect planetary supportive lifestyles; its social order reflects fundamental principles of f airness, justice and reasonable equity.

Some features of eco-cities include:

- Self-contained economy that obtains resources locally

- Carbon-neutral by promoting techniques like the use and production of renewable energy

- Well-planned city layout and public transportation system that makes walking, cycling, and public transportation the priority methods of transportation

- Plenty of sidewalks, bike bridges, and easily accessible bike racks

- Access to public resources

- Urban renewal actions

- Reduction of CO2 emissions
