“…Furthermore, the researchers concluded that a 19 % decrease in yearly cooling and heating energy consumption was also accomplished over the building's lifetime. Abd-ur-Rehman et al [13] investigated several energy saving strategies and clean energy usage potential for Saudi Arabian residential structures. The authors discovered that the energy performance of the system is improved (IECC) by adding the design criteria of the International Energy Conservation Code into simulation programs.…”

Several elements contribute to the environmental effect of building construction, and many stakeholders share responsibility for these issues. Architects and engineers have a considerable interest in the design of the materials and building methods because they are vital in the creation of a design. The environmental effect of various building construction materials should be evaluated to select environmentally friendly building materials. The environmental effect of life cycle of a material comprises not only the energy used in its production but also emissions released into the environment at each stage of production. Embodied energy is one way of measuring construction and recycling environmental impact and the effectiveness of CO2 emissions. The use of indigenous and local construction materials together with energy-saving and environmentally friendly alternatives, including different forms, construction, and management techniques, reduces needless spending by cutting down on construction expenses. This study focuses on developing a comprehensive and integrated approach to environmental sustainability and cost control in low-rise building construction in Saudi Arabia and some other Arab countries by using alternative construction and management techniques and environmentally friendly and energy-efficient innovative materials. Multiple design alternatives, which utilize appropriate cost effective building materials, consider the physical environment, utilize methods of industrialization, and incorporate cost effective construction techniques, are discussed.

In recent years, natural-fiber composite building materials have experienced a revival and have become an important area of interest for the international building and scientific community as a sustainable solution for new constructions and restoration interventions. Natural fibers are obtained from renewable sources and are thus environmentally friendly, while at the same time they do not harm human health, as they do not contain toxic substances. Furthermore, natural reinforced composites present enhanced thermal and acoustic properties. However, the variety of components, the presence of hydroxyl groups, and the surface impurities which plant fibers possess, create a series of issues related to the design of composite materials, as they affect their final properties. Aiming to optimize the physical and chemical characteristics of fibers, several treatments have been applied. International research focuses mainly on hemp fibers, which are considered particularly durable and have thus been extensively studied. This literature review discusses the properties of hemp fibers and hurds, treatments which have been applied up to today, and their effect on the fiber and hurds, as well as the composite materials and discusses future trends. Mortars reinforced with treated hemp present mechanical benefits in most of the cases, such as higher flexural and tensile strength. Also, the improved adhesion between hemp and mortar matrices is commonly accepted by researchers.
