Regenerative Design - General Principles and Implementation Strategies in Building Design

Abstract The built environment, through the consumption of energy from non-renewable sources and associated CO 2 emissions, as well production waste throughout its life cycle effects soil water degradation, contributes significantly not only to phenomenon climate change, but also irreversible degradation natural environment. concept regenerative design provides a framework for holistic approach these issues in order identify most effective remedies, proposing restoration regeneration global socio-ecological environment system engineering practices suitable specific context. defining aspects applied buildings sector refer architecture inserting ensuring healthy well-being indoor reducing zero promoting renewable sources, minimizing carbon footprint by rational use materials management cycle.
