Green building methods and sustainable architecture focus on environmentally responsible and energy-efficient construction practices. They aim to minimize negative environmental impacts not only during the building process, but also beyond. For example, access to renewable energy sources is incorporated into the finished building to improve sustainability. Key principles of these methods include energy efficiency, water conservation, and the use of sustainable materials.
In order to be most effective, sustainable architecture should take into consideration broader urban contexts, site planning, and transportation, taking input from the community at each stage. These practices create more livable and resilient spaces. Adoption of green building is growing worldwide due to increased environmental awareness and its long-term benefits.
This Collection seeks to showcase the latest trends around this topic by inviting submission of original research investigating new approaches for green building and sustainable architecture.
