Abstract

With the advancement of construction technologies, the use of new types of construction materials, as well as the need for investors to make new housing facilities as economical and energy efficient as possible the development in the design importance and the way of understanding the space, today it is possible to recognize a significant difference between the sustainable and the local way of construction.

This paper focus on the sustainable principle of the building construction materials, in this paper will investigate on the structural system of family houses in Bosnia and Herzegovina checking and comparing it with the principle of the sustainable building construction. The results gained by analyzing seven family houses were built in last 10 years in Bosnia and comparing it with the scientific sustainable principles of the building construction. It has been conducted that the structural construction materials of the family houses in Bosniamostly match the sustainable construction principles.
