Sustainable architecture combines innovation with environmental responsibility, contributing to reducing pollution, conserving resources, and combating climate change. Sustainable architecture is an effective solution for protecting the environment by incorporating environmental principles into building design and construction.

Sustainable architecture primarily aims to significantly reduce energy consumption, through:
- Passive solar design: The building is oriented and uses intelligent window and opening design to maximize the use of natural sunlight for heating and lighting in the winter, and minimize exposure to direct sunlight in the summer, reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling.
- Effective thermal insulation: Using high-performance insulating materials in walls, ceilings, and windows reduces heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling systems.
- Natural ventilation systems: Designing buildings to promote natural air movement helps cool and purify indoor air, reducing reliance on air conditioning.
- Use energy-efficient appliances: Incorporating energy-efficient appliances and lighting systems reduces waste.
- Renewable energy sources: Relying on renewable energy sources such as solar panels to generate electricity or heat water, or wind and geothermal energy, reduces dependence on fossil fuels and thus limits carbon emissions.
- Urban planning: Design mixed-use neighborhoods with easy access to public transportation, to reduce reliance on cars.
