Abstract

Among  the  direct  environmental  consequences  of construction,the most significant is its consumption of water and other resources. Water is the origin of every form of life. It is a habitat,an aliment ,a means of production and transport,and a commodity.By its very nature,  water  creates  networks:it  is  linked  to  other natural resources,land,forests,biodiversity, etc.Aquatic systems   are   interconnected;environmental   problems have repercussions from one end to the other of a hydrographic  basin.  Various  groups  and  stakeholders use  water  for  their  needs.Construction  is believed  to consume around half of all the resources humans take from  nature.Sustainable building and construction, is a holistic,multidisciplinary approach.This approach is increasingly  being advocated for buildingsandinfrastructure. Energy efficiency in buildings has become a key factor that has a great impact of energy security,optimization of energy of structure and energy efficiency improvement. Furthermore,this Article is aimed to initiate implementing sustainable design of building construction in reduction of consumption of energy       resources specially water and present suggestions for conservation of water resources.
