Structural design and construction using energy analytical modelling for sustainability: a review

Abstract

Introduction 1.1BackgroundSustainability is an essential concept that recognizes the entail to estimate economic, social, and environmental determinants to elevate long-term well-being and prosperity for all. It requires us to think long-term and consider the impacts of our actions on the planet and society as a whole [1]. Ultimately, the goal of sustainability is to create a world that is liveable and prosperous for everyone, now and in the future. This requires conserving natural resources, minimizing waste and pollution, and creating a more equitable and just society. Sustainability improves the resilience of the system which has ability to absorb and recover from disturbances or shocks, whether they are natural disasters, economic crises, or other unexpected events [2, 3].
