This document provides an overview of green architecture and sustainable development. It discusses key topics such as:
- Definitions of sustainable development based on meeting present needs without compromising future generations.
- The three pillars of sustainability: economic, social, and environmental.
- Standards and legislation for green buildings in the UK, including the Code for Sustainable Homes and Passivhaus.
- Principles of eco-friendly design such as using renewable energy, environmentally-friendly materials, and maximizing energy efficiency.
- Challenges in changing habits and mindsets to fully embrace sustainability in the design, construction and use of buildings.

Energy: TER, building fabric, white goods/fittings, lighting, use of renewables, cycle storage provision, home office Water: potable consumption (less than 80 l/p/d), rainwater collection Materials: Environmental impact, responsible sourcing Surface water run-off: SUDS, flood risk reduction Waste: site and household, recycling and composting Pollution: GWP /NOx emissions from materials in build Health & Well-being: Daylight, sound insulation, private space, Lifetime homes Management: Guide, CCS for work, security Ecology: Protection, enhancement, economic house footprint Net emissions of CO 2 from ALL energy use in the home Relevant points in 9 categories 6 stars exemplar development in sustainability terms Whole building and lifestyle considerations CfSH Level 5/6 requires max energy use of 46kw/m2/yr )
Basics of a CfSH House Passivhaus ORIGINATED IN GERMANY in 1990s Passivhaus Institute founded in 1996 A standard for energy use in all building types Higher quality of design & construction Over 6,000 buildings (mostly houses) have been built to the standard, mainly in Germany and Austria Design appraised using the PHPP (Passive House Development Package) i.e not SAP used by the CfSH UK established practice - Carbon Lite programme, Bronze Silver and Gold Likely to lead standards in future Principles of Passivhaus Compact plan form High levels of insulation Air-tight construction Mechanical heat recovery and ventilation system (MVHR) No heating solar gain Energy use max 15kw/m2/yr for heating and cooling TOTAL energy demand less than 120kw/m2/yr The Effect of Passivhaus MINIMISE HEAT LOSS MAXIMISE EFFICIENCY The Zero-Carbon Challenge Building Research Establishment (BRE) Watford
