GREEN BUILDINGS

Abstract

It is seen that the green buildings, which have emerged in order to reduce the damage to the environment and nature, with the rapid depletion of resources, changing climatic conditions and the materials used in the building, respond to the demands of the users with technology. These structures, which allow the continuation of ecological balance and allow the living beings in nature to live together in a whole, cause the emergence of long-lasting, more robust and quality structures by using sustainable materials. It is seen that these structures, which emerged with a multidisciplinary approach from the design stage, meet the criteria applied in the building within the framework of certain standards and the subjects such as land use, water, energy, heating and cooling, ventilation, lighting, waste management and recycling within the scope of renewable energy. It is also seen some certificate systems have emerged in ensuring the production to be made within this scope. In the study; In order to protect and sustain the natural resources that contribute to the "green building" system, the criteria that affect the building have been examined within the framework of this multidisciplinary approach.
