With the desire to reduce total energy consumption and contribute to the quality of life for both our and future generations, we are turning to new ways of construction. The construction industry today strives to work on the principles of sustainable development and according to that developes environmentally friendly building materials. By designing and constructing buildings with optimal energy consumption and collecting waste in a safe way for the environment is increasingly contributing to the world. It is a construction that enhances the existing standard of living, provides a healthier and more comfortable space for living. It is based on natural laws, uses the potential of nature and does not destroy it. It leaves our Earth for generations; it does not consume it and makes minimal use of its non-renewable resources. It is based on renewable energy sources that support the needs of modern buildings - the sun, wind, the inland heat of the Earth, the natural flow of airflow and air alternations. With this final paper, we will be introduced to sustainable construction and its principles. We will conduct a study of a building that is designed according to the principles of sustainable construction, which will show how small changes can create a better quality and great savings in both time and energy. The principles we will be better acquainted with in the final paper are: multifunctionality, use of materials, use of energy, water management, mobility, maintenance of greenery and waste management.
