Objective: The study aims to evaluate the sustainability of blue, green, and brown buildings, focusing on key factors such as energy efficiency, pollution control, and environmental impact.
Method: A comparative analysis of case studies including "The Edge" (blue building), Badriya Juma Masjid (green building), and DDA Vasundhara (brown building) was conducted. The study also involved expert insights and the application of quantitative and qualitative methods to assess the buildings' performance across several criteria.
Results: The findings reveal that blue buildings outperform green and brown buildings in terms of energy efficiency, technology integration, and environmental sustainability. The Edge, a blue building, reduced carbon emissions by 60% and operational costs by 70%, showcasing superior energy conservation technologies.
Conclusions: Blue buildings offer the most significant benefits in reducing environmental impact, setting a new benchmark for sustainable architecture. Investments in blue and green building technologies are crucial for promoting sustainable urban development.
