This document discusses sustainable buildings and their importance in addressing climate change. It makes three key points: 1) Buildings are a major contributor to carbon emissions and energy consumption, accounting for over 40% of final energy use in Europe. Sustainable buildings can help reduce this impact. 2) Sustainable buildings are designed to minimize environmental damage and maximize the use of renewable energy. They aim to have low energy needs and carbon footprints. 3) Several case studies and projects are highlighted that demonstrate how sustainable building design principles have been applied to significantly reduce the energy and carbon footprints of new and existing buildings.

- 7. Sustainable Buildings are part of the Solution To be as low energy as possible to protect the occupants from the inevitable rises in energy cost. Paradigm of sustainable buildings To get as much of the energy needed as possible from renewable energy. To have as little impact on the environment as possible in terms of water, waste materials, transport. To make buildings that people love to live in.
- 8. Under the main provisions of the Directive, member states to Apply a methodology to calculate the energy performance of buildings. Apply minimum performance standards on all new buildings and on existing large buildings (over 1000 m 2 ), when subject to material alterations. Ensure that when a building changes occupants an energy performance certificate is made available and displayed in all public buildings. Legislative driver: EU Directive on Building Energy Performance

- 10. Sustainable design is not a style and that there is nothing called as ‘Sustainable Aesthetic’. Sustainability in buildings is about the performance of buildings, about designing every building on the fundamental premise that it must do as little environmental damage as possible. Understanding the benchmarks of building performance at every stage: DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION and OPERATION. The difficulty is to know how sustainable a building is?
