Introduction

The following 10 basic principles are implemented in JSa architecture workshop projects. Although there are numerous other strategies, these provide a quick guide for their application in the proposed projects and serve as tools to measure their effectiveness.

The buildings and the construction industry are the major source of contaminants of the planet.  Moreover, since electricity in our country is largely produced by fossil fuels, building construction and operation contributes greatly to the carbon dioxide production, which is the main cause of the climatic change. From the practice of architecture real solutions can be found to prevent and to invert this tendency.
