“…For this reason, a large continuing body of works has demonstrated its values and why vernacular architecture should be taken seriously in architectural practice, for example, References [1,14,15]. The most frequent expression which summarizes the aims of the research includes, 'lessons from vernacular architecture' and 'learning from the vernacular' for example, References [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. As such, it has simply become related to specific arguments such as positioning it as a didactic alternative to the contemporary architecture which is associated with uncontrollable greenhouse gas emission, disproportionate energy consumption and unsustainable use of earth's resources [1,27,28].…”

Although a growing body of research has debated the array of sustainability lessons of vernacular architecture, social sustainability discussions remain less advanced in comparison to the other pillars of sustainability. This has narrowed the plural lessons of vernacular architecture and limited the broad concept of sustainability to a partial one. Against this research gap, this study aims to conduct an assessment of the social sustainability of residential vernacular architecture through the application of a proposed Social Criteria of Green Building Assessment Tool (SCGBAT) assessment method. The SCGBAT proposes eight sets of social criteria categories namely; health and safety; participation and control; education; equity, accessibility and satisfaction; social cohesion; cultural values; physical resilience and also, 37 indicators for the evaluation of social sustainability. To empirically operationalize the proposed SCGBAT, this study utilizes the vernacular architecture typologies in the vernacular landscape of Louroujina village in Cyprus as a case study. Methods for data collection are desk review for secondary data while 135 close-ended questionnaires were used for primary data. The data are statistically presented based on Linkert scale and interpreted using both quantitative and descriptive analysis. The results demonstrated that the investigated vernacular architecture ranked lowly in Physical Resilience Indicator (PRI), Environmental Education Indicator (EEI), Accessibility and Satisfaction Indicator (ASI) but demonstrated sufficient lessons in the context of Health and Safety Indicator (HSI); Participation and Control Indicator (PCI); Social Equity Indicator (SEI); Social Cohesion Indicator (SCI); and Cultural Value Indicator (CVI). To this end, this paper contribute to the advancement of knowledge on the assessment of the social sustainability of vernacular architecture by innovatively applying a green building assessment approach and identifying the strengths and weaknesses of such approach in a vernacular setting.

“…Tačiau tradicinėje terpėje naujomis formomis buvo įkūnijami vis tie patys darnaus bendrabūvio su aplinka dėsningumai (Andriušytė 2010), kurie šiais laikais asocijuojasi su pastatų ekologiškumu plačiąja prasme. Park (1998) manymu, istorinė architektūra, ypač liaudiška, yra natūraliai "žalia", nes ji giliai susijusi su kraštovaizdžiu, o Zhai ir Previtalli (2010) bei Kazimee (2008) pabrėžia, kad iš jos derėtų mokytis kurti draugiškus aplinkai pastatus, naudoti vietines medžiagas ir efektyviai naudoti energinius išteklius. Tradicinės architektūros sprendimai kinta lėtai, tačiau pokyčiai remiasi gyvenimiška logika ir poreikiais.…”

“…Šių dėsnių įtaka pastatams, taikant tūrinius planinius sprendimus, taip pat gali būti įvertinta atsižvelgiant į skirtingus būstų tūrinių planinių sprendimų variantus įvairiuose Lietuvos etnografiniuose regionuose. Viena tokių vertinimo metodikų yra pateikta tyrimuose (Parasonis, Keizikas et al 2012a;b), kuriais remiantis, atlikus Lietuvai būdingų tradicinių gyvenamųjų pastatų tūrių lyginamąją analizę, galima nustatyti tiek jų formos įtaką energiniam naudingumui, tiek efektyviausią tūrinį planinį sprendimą.…”

Anotacija. Pastaruoju metu vis svarbesniu reikalavimu pastato kokybei tampa ekologiškumo kriterijus, kuris tiesiogiai siejasi su jo energiniu efektyvumu. Tuo tarpu architektūros ir inžinerijos principai, kuriuos taikant statiniai taptų energiškai efektyvūs, ne visada gali būti vadinami ekologiškais, nes jų taikymas dažnai prieštarauja tokioms sampratoms kaip vietinių žaliavų naudojimas, mažai gamybos bei transportavimo energijos reikalaujanti statyba, savaime suyrančios arba antram ciklui panaudojamos medžiagos. Tradicinėje, ypač kaimo statyboje, šie principai galiojo natūraliai, bet retas tradicinis pastatas dėl dažnai prastesnių jo atitvarų fizikinių savybių gali būti vadinamas energiškai efektyviu. Europos sąjungos direktyva 2010/31/ES numato, jog po 2020 m. visi nauji pastatai turi atitikti beveik nulinį energijos poreikio reikalavimą. Šiame kontekste ir esant minėtajai priešpriešai, pristatomame tyrime sulyginta tradicinių pastatų energinį efektyvumą užtikrinančių priemonių nauda (išreiškiama sutaupytos energijos kiekiu per pastato gyvavimo laikotarpį) ir energijos "išlaidos", reikalingos šioms priemonėms įdiegti. Sulyginus keletą skirtingų tradicinių pastatų sprendimų, nustatoma, kokie istoriškai susiklostę "pasyvūs" pastatų formavimo principai yra efektyviausi energijos taupymo aspektu.Reikšminiai žodžiai: tradicinė architektūra, įkūnytoji energija, pastatų energinis efektyvumas, pastatų geometrinis efektyvumas, pastatų ekologiškumas.

“…Kazimee et al [25] sought to demonstrate the principles of vernacular design and technologies such as the sustainable performance of common homes and settlements in a case study of Nuristan's vernacular architecture in northeastern Afghanistan. Barozzi et al [8] provided an analysis of adaptable envelopes and shading sys ems implemented in contemporary architecture, with a review of various design methods and a brief examination of case studies.…”

Morocco faces enormous climatic constraints. A large part of the national territory has a hot and dry climate, hence the importance of the climate aspect in the choice of an energy saving strategy. The use of reinterpreted, decontextualized, totally or partially vernacular architectural techniques and/or forms is visible at different levels in the Maghreb countries. The large-scale integration of this aspect seems to be ignored by the designers. The objective of this research is to evaluate the impact of the building orientation and vernacular architecture towards the occupant comfort, in order to meet its energy and comfort needs at a lower cost on one hand, and on the other hand, to design more efficient collective buildings from a thermal and energy point of view. The proposed methodology allows examining the thermal performances of a traditional building under the climatic conditions of the city of Rissani in order to naturally control comfort summer and winter, in addition to ensure a good thermal comfort without using any heating or cooling system. Finally, the simulations carried out lead to the identification of the optimal orientation that demonstrates an effective reduction in indoor temperatures and a decrease in the large daily fluctuations in these temperatures. The research focuses on the influence of the orientation of a building's facades in relation to the solar radiation and on providing the necessary thermal comfort.
