Earthquake safe architectural design sustainability and energy share in efficiency

In order to ensure earthquake safety through the architectural design itself, it is necessary to have extensive knowledge about earthquakes. In order to emphasize this, the contents of the earthquake are given in detail in the study. In other sections, information on earthquake-safe architectural design and earthquake-safety is given through architectural form.It was noted that the 2018 TBDY rewarded regular structures between the lines by using approximately %30 less iron and concrete.It was pointed out that international building certification systems do not give points to the earthquake safety criterion. The aforementioned certification bodies do not score even the structures with earthquake insulators in terms of sustainability.In fact ,the insulator systemis one of the most important precautions that can be taken about earthquakes.As stated in the 2018 TBDY ,the earthquake insulator does not require other design and structural measures in the buildings. Therefore, this situation is unfair to the structures that meet the criteria. It is stated that the main factor that is determined to cause loss of life and destruction in earthquakes is not the earthquake itself,but the buildings themself. The regular selection of the carrier system is associated with architectural design.In the vertical and horizontal direction,the architectural design should be arranged in such a way that it is free from complexity,simple and allows the carrier system to be continuous.It is stated that this situation is the first condition of a successful structural design against earthquakes.Earthquake resistant structures have a great share in being energy efficient and sustainable because they provide long-lasting use.Earthquakes have a negative impact on our lives and its consequences in many areas.Despite this,its importance in the field of architecture is underestimated.Building energy certification companies ,many of which are foreign organizations,have not included the fact of being earthquake safe among the criteria.It is also known that they are not included in the scoring.It is pointed out how important this issue is and how much it will benefit us when taken into account.The more earthquake –safe and long-lasting a structure is,the more sustainable and energy-efficient it is.The contribution of this situation to being sustainable and energy efficient has been demonstrated through carbon footprint and CO2 calculations.If the energy consumed for the production of materials to be used in the building can be reduced, CO2 emissions will be reduced.Decreased CO2 emissions form the basis of a sustainable enviromental.
