Would you like to live in a Green Building? (arquitectura bioclimática)









Green building consists in the design of buildings according to the climatic conditions taking advantage of the avaiable natural resources, such as wind, sunlight, vegetation and rain. The objective of green building is to decrease environmental impacts by decreasing the energy consumption.

This type of building is more expensive than normal buildings, but a green building is sustainable and it saves a lot of energy.

Nowadays there isn't so many green buildings because in developed countries there isn't so much respect to the environment.

To get warmer temperatures in winter and cooler temperatures in summer a house must have south-facing windows (if it's on the northern hemisphere) or south-facing windows (in the southern hemisphere). To insulate well a building it must have thick walls.
