Design Features of Eco - Friendly Home for Sustainable Development

Abstract: Technology used for construction of Eco-friendly home reduces its carbon footprint and lowers its energy needs. Constructions of building are rapidly increasing along with the latest technologies and advancement. Physical development of a country does not only cover construction of buildings in the cities but also the residential area. There are many design aspects which need to be carefully implemented into a house so it works well with the climate and economical. This paper outlines the main design parameters like energy efficient design, recycled and sustainable building materials, waste-water treatment and reuse for eco-friendly home. The building industry will be greatly benefited by the research and development of sustainable house design. This paper includes a 3BHK eco-friendly home planning with solar panel, rainwater harvesting system, plantation, energy efficient fixtures and proper ventilation. The ecological and social potential of eco-homes are being undermined by a technocratic focus, the capacity and behaviour of occupants, and a weakening of design as developments are scaled up. In order to maintain the continuance of sustainability housing programs, the programs need to always evaluate the economic viability, socio-cultural acceptability, technical feasibility and environmental compatibility.
