“…The production process of the design guidelines and checklist is composed of three stages: (1) identification of environmental, social, and economic problems related to the relevant structures, (2) identification of the requirements for sustainable design of the relevant structures, (3) determination of elements, variables, and their desired values in the design guidelines and checklist [12].…”

“…The basis for the identification is that the problems affect the total six stability conditions shown in Figure 2, such as health, safety, and environmental preservation. When identifying problems, system designers take up local/particular problems in their country or region, in addition to global/general problems [12].…”

“…The aim of this conversion is the convenience of system users. The framework of "element-variable-desired value" concretely shows design targets of each part of the relevant structures; thus, it enables the system users to quickly find what should be designed and the design courses [12].…”

“…The "sustainable design guidelines" and "sustainability checklist" need to be revised, adjusting to changing situations, and higher user-friendliness and accuracy. The revision process can be divided into three spheres: (1) changes in the theoretical world, (2) changes in the practical world, (3) feedback from the users [12]. After making preparations from the above three perspectives, system designers modify the guidelines and checklist tables.…”

“…Obvious changes over time in the theoretical world need to be reflected into the design guidelines and checklist [12]. First of all, searching for recent changes in environmental, social, and economic problems, system designers can modify the list of problems related to the relevant structures.…”

Achieving sustainability is the ultimate goal-oriented challenge. Control science can be applied to all goal-oriented tasks. Accordingly, utilizing control science, we have been progressing in research on sustainability and sustainable design. Here this chapter illustrates the methodology for designing sustainable structures with two examples. In this context, “structures” include various city components, such as buildings, roads, and parks, as well as the whole city. First, this chapter illustrates the control system for promoting sustainable structure design. Next, it shows the process of producing and revising sustainable structure design guidelines. Based on this process, Section 4 demonstrates how to produce and revise sustainable housing design guidelines, with the completed guidelines’ extracts. Moreover, Section 5 outlines a way of producing sustainable urban design guidelines. Designing the whole city needs extensive spatial planning; therefore, the guidelines consist of three parts: (1) development allowable areas, (2) spatial relationships among city components, (3) principles of designing city components. This methodology’s characteristics include visualization of the whole picture for promoting sustainable design, user-friendliness, comprehensiveness, and adaptability to different and changing situations.

The significance of sustainability in the housing sector is essentially demanded nowadays, driven by the global emphasis on sustainable development and urgent environmental challenges. It emphasizes the need for innovative strategies to enhance resource efficiency and mitigate negative environmental impacts during construction. Achieving sustainability requires incorporating environmental design principles and eco-friendly building materials, necessitating comprehensive considerations in urban planning and design. This involves promoting sustainable public transportation, communities, facilities, and green spaces. The aim of this study is to convert non-sustainable houses into sustainable ones; aiming to support Iraqis seeking housing that meets international sustainability standards. It also aims to assist the Iraqi government in fulfilling its commitments under the Paris Agreement and improve the quality of life for Karbala’s residents. The primary objective is to design a house that balances environmental, economic, and social factors, adhering to international environmental standards and sustainable development requirements. This involves utilizing sustainable techniques like renewable energy and eco-friendly materials. The project adopts a comprehensive approach that accounts for the various dimensions of sustainability during the design process.

Current housing design faces various environmental, social, and economic issues, such as climate change, aging population, and workplace needs. Dealing with such issues and pursuing sustainability is a target-oriented challenge. The science of system control can be utilized for all target-oriented tasks. Therefore, applying system control, we have been developing methods for sustainable design. Based on our finished research and practice results, this chapter shows how to design sustainable homes. Section 2 briefly illustrates the methods with two figures: (1) the control system for promoting sustainable housing design, (2) the process of producing and revising sustainable housing design guidelines. Section 3 demonstrates a concrete process of creating sustainable design guidelines. First, it identifies global and general problems related to current homes and specifies requirements for sustainable housing design. Next, it converts these requirements into a tabular form of “housing elements, variables, and their desired values.” The completed table has turned out compact “sustainable housing design guidelines” for general use. The methods have four significant features: (1) total visualization for promoting sustainable design, (2) user-friendliness, (3) comprehensiveness, (4) flexibility toward optimization.
