Abstract
During the last few years, the importance of moving toward sustainable industries has been recognized by everyone, which has a significant influence on global warming. One of the most important objectives of sustainability is to reach energy efficiency and reduce carbon emission. Due to the importance of this issue, a huge amount of valuable studies have been done in this field, and a significant number of studies still are required to investigate the limitations of this topic. This study aims to have a comprehensive review of sustainable buildings from various perspectives. The most important contribution of this chapter is to study the challenges, obstacles, objectives, interests, and preferences of sustainable buildings from the perspective of different stakeholders. The review process involved analyzing papers published on three scientific and reliable databases, including review articles, conference proceedings, and journal papers. The papers focused more on the details of different aspects of improving energy efficiency and energy reduction to minimize the environmental, economic, social, and other impacts of fossil fuels. The outcomes of this study provide a valuable reference for stakeholders, including governments, policymakers, researchers, and decision-makers, and offer suggestions from the selected past studies. The review highlights the need for researchers to consider the challenges, benefits, and recommendations for future work in this area. The paper provides motivation and attracts future research endeavors to enhance energy efficiency in buildings and achieve sustainability.
