As it has been stated, the durability in sustainable architecture is an important issue
and sometimes also a major problem which needs to be solved both at the design and the
execution stage of buildings. It is however, underestimated and its role in the design strategy
for sustainable architecture is unsatisfactory, compared with the prevailing energy issues. The
relations between embodied energy of materials and their durability characteristics has not yet
been appropriately studied and recognized. Efforts to make the longevity of buildings more
attractive and an important task for designers and other members of construction procedures
should be undertaken. It is worthwhile to consider the suggestion of carrying out in-depth
studies of the building performance long after its erection, and that by the designers. The
feedback method would be of use in this case to the advantage of architects who would thus
be able, to gain knowledge about errors and faults committed during the design procedure.
Given the changing role of architects, as members of the multidisciplinary integrated design
teams and the importance of architectural science being a valuable support in professional
activity, the knowledge of durability problems should be better appreciated in architectural
practice. It should also be taught as part of the architectural educational system.
