What is the role of research in eco-friendly architecture?

The role of research in eco-friendly architecture is crucial. Research helps architects and designers to understand the environmental impact of building materials, energy systems, and construction practices. By conducting research, they can identify new technologies and materials that can reduce the carbon footprint of buildings. It also helps to evaluate the performance of eco-friendly buildings and to develop new strategies to improve their sustainability. Additionally, research helps architects to maintain a balance between energy efficiency and human comfort, ensuring that a building's sustainable features do not compromise its usability. In short, research is essential to creating eco-friendly architecture that is both effective and practical.
