Abstract

The research will explore how the design and construction of nearly zero-energy buildings can be addressed from a bioclimatic perspective, considering factors such as orientation, natural ventilation, sustainable materials, and energy efficiency strategies. Some case studies in different climates and regions are presented to understand how bioclimatic principles adapt to various environmental and geographical conditions. The documentary methodology focuses on reviewing articles published in Scopus database journals, mainly from recent years. The main results show that sustainable constructions are necessary for conserving the environment but also favor human life and the reuse of biodegradable raw materials.
