The civil engineering industry produces a lot of waste and unwanted pollution. There is solid waste, air and even noise pollution during construction. Additionally, for most structures, they will eventually be demolished and the materials will become waste. This is why the topic of sustainability has been so popular in recent years. The definition of sustainable development by Brundtland, 1987, is as follows: “Sustainable development meets the economic, social and environmental needs and interests of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs and interests. » Nowadays, the biggest concern is considered to be resources, because they are limited on earth, but humans have unlimited needs. Furthermore, the lack of resources (e.g. building materials) will mean that we compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs and interests, which is not sustainable development according to the definition above. There are several ways to create a sustainable civilian product. The word “green building” should ring a bell. A green building is a structure that uses an environmentally friendly and resource-efficient process throughout the life cycle of a building. This can be done by reducing the materials needed through improved designs and some innovations or by modifying it a little, to use the materials more efficiently. Make good use of natural energy, the most common is to use natural lighting by installing large windows, which reduces electricity consumption. There are houses called earth houses around the world that are based on this idea and maximize the potential for sustainability. Earth houses, sometimes known as earth berms or earth sheltered houses, are an architectural style...... middle of paper ...... and live on at least the 10th floor. A mud house is more likely to be located in the countryside, where transportation may not be as convenient. I would have to drive to work or school every day, which costs me more than public transportation in the city. It also increases my personal production of CO2 into the environment, which may well cancel out with the energy saving capacity of my earth house. The lack of experienced mud house builders means that repairing my houses will be more expensive and time consuming. Additionally, I am not convinced by the energy saving ability of this system, as it is very likely that it will require additional electricity to control the humidity in the house, which a conventional house does not. don't need it. Although I can see its durability in storms or earthquakes being a very useful thing in some areas, there are cheaper and economically better alternatives..
