Abstract
Sustainable architecture has important roles to play in reducing the impact of buildings on the environment, due to the fact that performance of building has great influence on life quality, comfort, security, health. However, the number of resources consumed in the construction, use and operation of buildings, as well as the harm done to the built environment through the emission, pollution and waste of its components, gives greater concern and contributing largely to environmental degradation and climate change. To counteract this, it is essential to incorporate sustainable design elements into our buildings. This research investigates the role of sustainable architecture in achieving environmentally friendly office buildings, it addresses the challenge of minimizing the environmental impact of office building. The project draws upon a comprehensive study of office building across various regions and leverages a thorough review of relevant sustainable architecture literatures. The proposed office building integrates key sustainable architectural design elements like landscaping, energy efficiency, water conservation, and renewable energy. The study emphasizes the importance of prioritizing and addressing the need to minimize the environmental impact of the building throughout its life cycle, from pre-design to post-construction. By doing so, we can contribute to a more sustainable future, conserve resources, and improve public health.
