| Summary, etc. biblio.abstract | In recent decades, the global community has witnessed an urgent need to address environmental challenges, particularly the escalating levels of carbon emissions that contribute to climate change. The residential sector is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions due to its heavy reliance on non-renewable energy sources, inefficient design models, and unsustainable consumption patterns. In this context, eco-friendly and sustainable home design emerges as a critical pathway toward environmental preservation and climate resilience. This research undertakes a comprehensive analytical study of sustainable architectural practices and home design strategies that contribute to the reduction of carbon footprints [1]. The study encompasses various dimensions of green housing, including the selection of eco-friendly building materials (such as recycled and locally sourced materials), incorporation of renewable energy systems (such as solar panels and wind turbines), and the application of passive design principles (such as orientation, insulation, ventilation, and daylighting) that reduce the need for artificial heating and cooling [2].<br/>The study examines water management techniques such as rainwater harvesting, greywater recycling, and low-flow fixtures that minimize environmental impact. It also highlights the role of smart technologies like automated energy systems and smart meters in optimizing household energy use. Additionally, the research assesses the social and economic feasibility of sustainable housing by analyzing factors like cost-effectiveness, energy savings, and public acceptance. The findings provide practical recommendations for homeowners, architects, and policymakers, advocating for greater awareness and supportive policies. Ultimately, eco-friendly housing is presented as a key solution for reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable development. |
