In this article the research is concentrated on defining the possibility and potentials of design to enhance the energy efficiency and refine the climate conditions in the existing residential buildings in Armenia. The digital model of existing residential building is used to calculate the annual energy consumption, by simulation software—Autodesk Green Building Student. The horizontal solar panel systems offered by local market leaders were applied to calculate the annual savings, the required installation area, prices, etc. Consequently, the actual efficiency of energy saving technological process of residential buildings in Armenia is estimated. Based on the applied strategies and obtained fact, some recommendations are made for residential buildings. This article is intended to help and to be stimulus for architects and constructors to consider and include green technologies in their new projects.

Green buildings starting to become an unavoidable trend due to the introduction of an assessment standard for green construction in Armenia. In the world green residential buildings grow even faster than green public buildings. The total area of residential buildings is approximately two times higher than in public buildings. In this work is eliminated the main problems of residential building in Armenia, in socio-demographic, functional, psychological, economical and technical aspects.

This research is intended to do an overview of green building and market trends, to determine the recent state and future industry prospects, to analyze the current state of green architecture in Armenia. The major fraction of this research work is based on scientific research and literature review. The information has been derived from legislative documents, evaluation guidelines, governmental reports, company databases and through an extensive analysis of the scientific articles as well. There had been arranged several interviews with key representatives of the construction and architecture field. Besides of the interviews done with the professionals, there were done a questionnaire survey for citizens of Armenia. Have been collected more than 200 answers.
