What is "sustainable architecture"?
Sustainable architecture is a design approach that focuses on creating buildings that have minimal negative impact on the environment. This involves using materials and methods that conserve resources, such as energy and water, while reducing waste and pollution. The goal is to create structures that are energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and adaptable to the natural surroundings. Sustainable architecture often includes features like renewable energy sources, efficient insulation, and natural ventilation to reduce the need for artificial heating, cooling, and lighting.
