All over the world, there are cities with a population of millions and metropolises. While it is constantly expanding, the Earth itself is not. This growth has a huge impact on the environment because we need to use a large portion of our natural resources to develop new habitats for our communities. These cities, which have an irregular and dense construction, protect both the environment and our health. threatening. The biggest reason for this threat is that the buildings are related to the environment and human health. being made inconsistently. On the urgent need for sustainable architecture social consciousness, international environmental movements that have been carried out for decades, and shaped by the laws that come into force one after the other. to be considered a sustainable development. now a delicate balance must be struck between the form, function and interaction of a building with its environment. needs. The environmental impact of the implementation of sustainable architecture in new or old buildings. There are also economic and social benefits.

How to Design Sustainable Buildings?
The term “sustainable design” is easy to use when starting a new construction project. it seems, but in reality, making a building design sustainable is a complex task. is the process. Materials, energy, resources, space planning, weather and many other factors Here are a few ways to consider when designing a sustainable building that includes and vehicle is available. The choice of building materials used has a negative impact on the environment. no effect is important. In the developing stages during the production of building materials EPD documents, which represent its contribution to the environment, show the sensitivity to a green life. EPD Certificate, or in other words environmental product declaration document, product life cycles Communicate in a transparent and comparable way the environmental impacts that occur throughout It is a directory of independently verified and registered documents that provides product performance clearly declared is advantageous in the Green Building markets, which is a priority today. compliance with European Union laws and export market requirements. providing. DGNB, with a detailed life cycle assessment with a holistic approach, BREEAM, LEED etc. Green Building certification systems are also trusted, verified and continuously accessible numerical data is obtained. Various building evaluation systems, building takes into account the overall performance of the building, not the individual performance of its materials and EPDs allow for this. The EPD document, which is also owned by the Aspen factory, provides a green future. It also shows that it produces sustainable materials. given by construction companies With the importance and support, sustainable designs will increase even more in the coming periods. seems to show.
