Integrating Sustainable Design with Building Information modeling for Thesis - 1

Integrating Sustainable Design with Building Information modeling for Energy Management in Saudi Arabia - Thesis Example We see the royal palaces and architecture as an example of art. Stone, sand, clay and wood were the construction materials and architects tried to build royal palaces which required less artificial lightening at day time. The architects made the palaces airy. With the improvement in the building materials and construction time, building home became an easier job. Energy solved many problems in building and designing a home. Artificial lightening and air conditioning create a home that is a luxurious shelter. Lightening and air conditioning require more energy and to generate more energy, there is a need to burn more coal to supply the demanded power. The burning of coal produces tons of green house gases that endanger many animal and plant species of the world. In the modern world, people think about the environment and relation of environment with our home. To achieve environmental and economic sustainability, one has to construct such home that has the modern luxuries but has reduc ed carbon emissions. Green home designs are presented and explained why it is necessary for the world in which we are all living. Green home has higher energy efficiency and it utilizes natural and biodegradable materials. There materials have positive impact on the environment and produce less waste. ... Sustainability is the capacity of the system to sustain. If certain system has plenty of resources that are not being consumed by the usage in various works, the system is said to be a sustainable system. Solar energy can be utilized in various works but the energy from the sun never ends, in this way solar energy is a sustainable energy and it is the sustainability of the system to utilize the solar energy. Wind is also a sustainable source of energy. The energy produced by the solar or wind does not produce any green house gases. There is a need for the sustainability as we are facing the worst era today, air and water pollution has raised the temperature of the earth and caused depletion in the ozone layer. The depletion of the ozone layer permits ultra-violet rays to enter the earth’s atmosphere. The penetration of these ultra-violet rays causes a raise in the temperature of the world. The raise in the temperature causes glaciers all around the world to melt at a faster sp eed that significantly raised the sea water level at some places. To reverse or to stop all these reactions, there is a need to stop the emission of green house gases. Sustainability is the key to have all the luxuries of life without the flow of green house gases. We need sustainability to save us and to save all the other creatures of the world. We have to protect our forests and water resources. Homes are represented as our shelters and as the major consumers of energy. In lightening and maintaining a home, energy is required. Natural gas, wood and heating oil are required by the homes to heat the home in colder regions. But preference should be given to the natural gas (if available), if there is a need to warm up the home as natural gas produces less green
