Abstract

This paper aims at finding practical strategies for designing sustainable high-rise apartment buildings in Ho Chi Minh City responding to varied municipal issues. Two steps are made. Step-1 identifies the critical issues of Ho Chi Minh City which are associated with high-rise apartment building projects. Step-2 finds potential and applicable strategies which are solutions for the critical issues in Step-1 with reference of seven selected assessment methods. The study finds the set of 58 strategies applicable to designing sustainable high-rise apartment buildings in Ho Chi Minh City.

Highlights

The emerging term ‘sustainable development’ proclaimed initially in the 1987 World Commission on Environment and Development has caught widespread concerns and become the global tendency responding to the critical environmental matters of greenhouse gas (GHG), global warming, and climate change [1]
This paper focuses on the practical strategies for designing sustainable high-rise apartment buildings (HAB) in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), which are driven by the presently critical issues of the city
Step-1 identifies the critical issues of HCMC urban which are associated with HAB projects

Summary

Introduction

The emerging term ‘sustainable development’ proclaimed initially in the 1987 World Commission on Environment and Development has caught widespread concerns and become the global tendency responding to the critical environmental matters of greenhouse gas (GHG), global warming, and climate change [1]. The strategies for sustainable design in planning, design, and construction should be studied in a local situation and diverse contexts in order to achieve large effects of sustainability on the global scale. Vietnam early affirmed the sustainable development at the 1992 Rio Earth Summit and again concretized that affirmation at the 2002 Johannesburg Earth Summit as launching the National Agenda 21 which was domestically introduced in the Decision No 153/2004/QD-TTg, namely, ‘The Strategic Orientation for Sustainable Development in Vietnam.’
