* '''Sustainable Design''' — Architecture that "Minimizes" "Environmental Impact" and "Maximizes" "Human Well-being" over the "Long Term."
* '''Passive House''' (Passivhaus) — A "Rigid Standard" for "Energy Efficiency": buildings that use "Insulation" and "Air-tightness" so they "Don't Need" traditional "Heating or Cooling."
* '''LEED Certification''' — (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design): a "Rating System" that "Scores" buildings on "Water Use," "Energy," "Materials," and "Indoor Quality."
* '''Biophilia''' — The "Idea" that humans have an "Innate Connection" to "Nature," and that "Integrating Plants, Light, and Water" into buildings "Reduces Stress" and "Increases Productivity."
* '''Circular Economy''' — (See Article 514). In design: using "Recycled Materials" and building in a way that "Parts can be Re-used" when the building is "Demolished."
* '''Embodied Carbon''' — The "Total Carbon Footprint" of "Making" the building (Mining the ore, baking the concrete, transport).
* '''Net-Zero''' — A building that "Produces as much Energy" (through 'Solar/Wind') as it "Consumes" over a year.
* '''Greywater Recycling''' — "Filtering and Re-using" water from "Sinks and Showers" to "Water Gardens" or "Flush Toilets."
* '''Green Roof''' — A "Roof" covered in "Soil and Plants," which "Insulates" the building and "Absorbs" "Rainwater."
* '''Passive Solar''' — Using "Large South-Facing Windows" and "Heavy Floors" (Thermal Mass) to "Catch and Store" the "Sun's Heat."
