A study on application of ecological design principles for architectural sustainability

Industrialization of the 20th century has resulted in vast consumption of unrenewable fossil deposits for the energy needs of the technologically developed nations. Today, extensive use of these unrenewable resources of which a considerable portion is consumed by buildings along with their vast economical disadvantages, necessitate searching for renewable energy sources.Indeed to reduce such negative effects on our environment, it is imperative to take responsible attitudes by us, the architects as well. In our country, which has rich potential of renewable energy resources, techniques about usage of energy should be extensive and adopted by the users. So, the damage to the economy and environment can be reduced and consequently the next generations may take advantages of natural resources as well.Thus, to provide sustainability of ecologic circle has vital importance to our lives. Environmental problems which are caused by misuse of energy, threat on the ecologic circle of all life forms. The career groups that participate in the planning and construction stages of the buildings must design structures and spaces which are sensitive to the nature and energy efficient. By the same token buildings must be revised and if required renewed by necessary inventions to benefit the involved communities.
