In this paper, the principles of Permaculture will be presented and linked to the aspects of family house construction: the use of building materials, waste management, water and energy. Permaculture is a set of knowledge on designing sustainable human communities. It copies models from nature. Sustainably provides food, energy, shelter and other material and non-material needs. Through permaculture we rationalize and save natural resources, efficiently plan energy and shape it in human principles. Elements are developed according to our needs and obligations, so we are always watching, re-evaluating and redesigning. Care for people is a key factor in all projects. It is therefore necessary to systematically reflect on the relationship between everything that surrounds us and everything we do to reduce the energy used, the impact on the Earth's resources and the quality of the environment. Resources, constraints, microclimate, soil type, water, house, road, fencing, infrastructure are analyzed. Attention needs to be devoted to energy (use renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable and fossil sources), food (it is necessary to turn to smaller organic food production in gardens), water (water conservation as a resource s a responsibility that every one of us has to take), construction (use of natural materials that do not harm the environment and can be reused or recycled), waste (by not separating waste, it becomes garbage that can not be used later), people (man must be free and choose the best for himself), economy (local trade support). To minimize the amount of energy lost on the system management, we divide it into zones. The purpose of zoning is to save energy. The zones are arranged so that we locate individual elements in certain zones according to how often we use or maintain them. Further, a study will be carried out on the project entitled Recycled estate Vukomerić, which was carried out according to the above principles.
