Abstract

There is no doubt that energy today has become a feature of the era in which we live, which prompted some to call our current era the "energy era". Rather, the amount of energy consumed by an individual has become a measure of the progress of nations and peoples. The more a source of energy is discovered, the more the aspects of life on earth change, the disappearance of a civilization, and the advent of another, and the entire era may be referred to in relation to this new source of energy. Therefore, energy and its various uses are the main pillar upon which different civilizations are based, since ancient times until now
Architectural trends rationalizing energy consumption:
• Green energy architecture.
• Self-powered architecture.
Green Building Energy:
Green energy is "energy that is not scorching as much as it is kind energy that helps sustain life for our time and the time to come." Green energy is traditional and non-traditional energy, as it is compatible with the environment in all its aspects.
Green energy architecture is defined as "architecture that provides means to save wasted energy and work to make it continuous energy" or what is called "green energy". It uses ecological materials that are recyclable and derived from sustainable sources. Which means that the building has a longer life and easier maintenance methods, meaning that the idea of green energy depends on treating the environment gently and preserving it, which helps the continuation of life, whether in the current era or the coming ages.
