Abstract

Sustainability encompasses the preservation of all life forms and balanced growth, considering human, economic, social, and moral aspects. It aims to reduce disparities, ensure resources for future generations, and use environmentally friendly technology. Sustainable development involves policies to improve society while maintaining a balance with natural resources. There are five concepts related to sustainable development: economic, social and humanitarian, political, ecological, and technical. The three main types of sustainability are environmental, social, and non-sustainability. Sustainable design involves environmentally conscious building techniques, emphasizing efficiency and minimizing environmental impact. Key principles include using low-impact materials, energy efficiency, design for reuse and recycling, and the use of renewable resources. Material selection focuses on non-toxic, sustainable, and recyclable materials. Rationalizing energy use and utilizing renewable energy sources are important considerations for power sources.
