Introduction
Today we will discuss *sustainable design for green homes*, a topic that
has become crucial in light of the environmental challenges we face.
Green homes represent an effective solution to reduce energy
consumption, improve air quality, and conserve natural resources. In this
presentation, we will explore key concepts on how to design green
houses, along with a case study of a prominent project in this field,
*BedZED* in the United Kingdom, which stands as a pioneering model for
achieving sustainability and living with zero carbon emissions.

Definition of Green Homes
A green home is a building designed and constructed using
environmentally sustainable
principles. These homes aim to minimize negative environmental
impact through innovative
building techniques and the use of sustainable materials that
reduce natural resource
consumption .

Key benefits of green homes include:
• Energy Efficiency: Low electricity prices and costs.
• Water Conservation: Rainwater Collection, Advanced Water
Treatment.
• Air Quality: Use of Non-Toxic Building Materials.
• Waste Disposal: Recycling and Eliminating Waste.
• Nature Conservation: Preserving the Environment.

Principles and Foundations of Green Home
Design:
• Sustainable materials: Use renewable or recycled materials

to reduce environmental impact.
• Reclaimed wood: Reduces the need for cutting down trees.
• Recycled concrete: Reduces the need for new materials.
• Natural insulation: Provides thermal efficiency and
maintains air quality.
5
Design:
• Roofs:
- Roofs: The roof can be covered with a layer of soil and plants
can be planted that are suitable for the environment of the
area to provide insulation and reduce heat.
- Solar panels: Install solar panels on the roof to benefit from
solar energy in generating electricity.fig.2

Design:
Floors:
- Renewable materials: Use floors made of rapidly
renewable materials such as cork and bamboo because
they are environmentally friendly and heat insulating.
- Concrete treatment: Treat concrete floors to increase
their durability and increase their ability to store heat
during the winter or the difficulty of acquiring it during the
summer.

Walls in Green
Homes
Wall insulation: Designed to provide thermal insulation,
reducing the use of artificial cooling or heating
systems, natural materials such as insulation or plant
fibers are used to insulate the walls, which determines
the room temperature and maintains a better
temperature for the house. - Green walls: These plants
include all plants that help improve the quality of
indoor air and insulate it naturally and soundly.
9
Ventilation in Green Homes
Designed to allow natural airflow through large windows or vents,
reducing the need for industrial cooling devices. - Smart ventilation
system: **recovers heat** from the outside air to warm the air
inside, improving indoor air quality and reducing energy
consumption
10
Building Shape and
Orientation
- Solar orientation: Heat moves to cold areas
towards the south from natural sunlight for
heating, while in hot areas it moves to the north
with gradual shading of heat.
- Integration with the surrounding environment:
Green house designs often blend with the
surroundings, providing shade and improving
ventilation
11
Example of a Green Building:
The BedZED Project(Beddington Zero Energy Development) is a
groundbreaking residential
community located in South London, designed with the aim of achieving
sustainability and
zero-carbon living. Completed in 2002, BedZED is recognized globally as a
pioneering model
for environmentally sustainable living. Its success comes from a holistic
approach that
integrates sustainable building materials, innovative energy systems, and
resource-efficient
technologies.
- Goal: To achieve zero carbon living and reduce environmental impact
through innovative design that relies on renewable energy and resource 12
recycling.
13
The BedZED project is fully ready because it is capable of sustainability in
several areas: 1. Independent energy: Its design is based on the solar
insurance policy, as the buildings triad is characterized by exploiting sunlight
and heating homes, with glass windows and highly insulated roofs. There are
also carbon rules that determine electricity, which determine who relies on
the electricity grid and reduces their carbon emissions.
2. More rational for water consumption: It contains a rainwater collection
system to provide moderate water for drinking and toilets, which costs from
the consumption of potable water.
3. Raw materials: BedZED was built using a local network and treated, such as
wood to control the negative impact of environmental construction.
4.
5. Waste management: It allows the organization of recycling and composting,
which limits the waste diverted to landfills and contributes to the production
14
of natural fertilizer used in common green vegetables.
Positive environmental impact of BedZED
project:
• Reducing energy consumption for

heating.
• Reducing fresh water consumption.
• Significantly reducing carbon emissions
thanks to reliance on environmentally
friendly transportation and renewable
energy sources.
• Promoting sustainable and healthy social
life through shared green spaces and
encouraging environmental education.
15
Final Conclusion:
In conclusion, it is clear that green homes are not just a trendy movement
but are part of the necessary solutions to address contemporary
environmental challenges. Through smart design and efficient use of
natural resources, we can build sustainable homes that enhance our lives
and preserve our planet for future generations.
