Research on the Application of Sustainable Building Design in Civil Architecture

With the development of the global economy and the growth of the population, the construction industry accounts for an increasing share of global energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, there is an urgent need to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. However, people are increasingly demanding higher quality of the built environment and pursuing healthy, comfortable and safe living and working environments, and green buildings and sustainable buildings are effective means to meet these demands. Starting from the application of sustainable building design in civil buildings, this paper discusses the connotation and principle of green building design, as well as the application of green building design in site selection, lighting, ventilation, water saving, window energy saving, solar photovoltaic and other aspects. The conclusion shows that in the context of national carbon neutral strategy, green buildings can reduce emissions, protect the environment, and improve living comfort and human health, thus achieving energy saving goals.
