Abstract
Every day, more buildings are incorporating sustainable architectural principles, but it is crucial that these principles remain accessible to low-income families. The primary objective of this project is to design a sustainable residential building, specifically a single storey structure, to accommodate four individuals from the economically backward section of society. The proposed design emphasizes the use of environmentally friendly materials and strives to achieve high energy efficiency by considering the natural environment of the site and minimizing both operational and embodied energy. In order to enhance the indoor environment quality and minimize the negative impacts of cement and steel, this design prioritizes the surrounding natural environment. Additionally, a life cycle assessment was performed to determine the building’s design life. Key sustainable building parameters, such as daylighting and ventilation, have been incorporated into the design to reduce operational energy consumption. Furthermore, a cost analysis was conducted to compare the proposed design with conventional construction methods. The results indicated that the proposed design not only boasts a lower cost but also integrates the use of environmentally friendly materials, aligning with sustainable objectives.
