BUILDING DESIGN ACCORDING TO THE GREEN BUILDING PRINCIPLES
Abstract
An ecological approach to construction and the Green Building concept force construction processes participants to meet specific requirements. In relation to designers and making designs of buildings, the requirements to be taken into account have also been defined. Above all, social, financial, and environmental benefits throughout the entire lifecycle of a building must be taken into consideration. It is significant to choose materials that ensure the safety and durability of the structure, as well as its thermal insulation up to the required level, and to use construction materials and products made from recycled raw materials. Green building is primarily about the efficient use of energy and resources, and automated construction technology, which should improve the comfort and functionality of buildings. When designing, the aim is to minimise interference with the natural landscape by fitting new buildings into the existing landforms and among adjacent buildings. An ecological building has an impact on both nearer and more distant surroundings, hence the right location is vital. Designing in accordance with the Green Building principles entails acknowledging the needs of society, such as ensuring accessibility for people with disabilities, creating social space and improving the quality of life of residents. The principles of sustainable development apply to both newly designed facilities and those undergoing thermal modernization. This article presents an example of a design made according to Green Building principles.
