The impact of architecture on sustainability

Journal of Building Survey, Appraisal & Valuation, 2017, vol. 6, issue 2, 118-130

Abstract: This paper sets out to show how the decisions made at the architectural design stage, particularly when carried out in conjunction with the building services design, can have an impact on the running costs and energy consumption of buildings. It makes suggestions as to what needs to be considered and the arguments for and against the likely impacts of each assessment to allow the embedding of sustainability into buildings to enable energy conservation in a climate change world.
