【 摘 要 】

When discussing the importance of sustainability principles for both architecture and construction fields, the selection and analysis of design directions (from concept to implementation phase) represent a major topic of the whole integrated process. The constructions sector has already established itself worldwide as an important consumer of both energy and resources. Therefore, the long life of the edifices implies that initial design decisions (conceptual phase) have a significant, amplified effect over time. This paper presents a proposal for a contemporary solar house, with a design in accordance to sustainability criteria. The research highlights the methods applied in the conceptual phase, as well as a comparative study in terms of embodied energy, with two scenarios for the structure: wooden frame versus masonry. Life cycle assessment methods (LCA) have played an important role in optimizing the proposed model in order to deliver a product that is both environmentally and economically efficient.
