Stone, brick, and wood

Steel, cardboard, and fabric

Concrete, straw, and mud

Glass, plastic, and aluminum

High cost, limited availability, and lack of variety

Low maintenance, easy to transport, and modern appeal

Sustainability, durability, and aesthetic appeal

Environmental impact, susceptibility to damage, and lack of cultural significance

By using outdated construction materials

By using excessive lighting and heating systems

By using non-renewable energy sources

By using passive design strategies, energy-efficient materials, and renewable energy sources.

Inefficient heating and cooling systems

Lack of proper insulation

Use of non-renewable energy sources

Proper insulation, energy-efficient windows, efficient heating and cooling systems, use of renewable energy sources

Passive solar design utilizes the sun's energy for heating, cooling, and lighting within a building without the use of mechanical or electrical devices.

Passive solar design relies on artificial lighting rather than natural sunlight

Passive solar design has no impact on energy consumption within a building

Passive solar design uses only mechanical and electrical devices for heating and cooling

Using only non-renewable materials

Consider sustainable materials, energy-efficient design, water conservation, and green roofing.

Designing buildings with no consideration for energy efficiency

Wasting water and not implementing any conservation techniques

By providing insulation, reducing energy consumption, managing stormwater runoff, and creating habitats for wildlife.

By increasing air pollution and contributing to the urban heat island effect

By causing structural damage to the building

By attracting pests and insects to the building
