It is a complex key strategy that develops the architectural, structural and envelope system for sustainable buildings. To identify the integrated building strategies is necessary to analyze the social, surrounding and environmental resources for an efficient design in an urban context. The aim of this study is to recognize the strengths of the project through its functions and benefits to the city and understand the environmental factors to reach a sustainable design. For this design, it was imperative to recognize what had been lost in the process in the metropolitan expansion and how the natural landscapes could be incorporated back into the site. With this in mind, and guided by LEED standards, unique green strategies such as an optimized building mass, a vegetated roof (green roof), green façade, and smart lighting techniques were analyzed and implemented in a proposed building for the Doria area of Milan.

Urban developers, architects and engineers search for areas to plant vegetation. In dense cities, green facades and roofs can be a solution to create urban green. Besides a modern concept, it increases the ratio of greenery in urban built-up area and reveals urban green spaces. To reduce the energy consumption, the concept of nearly zero energy building (NZEBs) is important and application of sustainable forms of energy are some of the major steps taken in this direction.Different guidelines drive EU countries to use greening systems-green roofs and green façades-as a sustainable strategy to maximize environmental buildings performance. That topic is implemented in consistency to an Italian standard (UNI 11235:2015). The UNI 11235 contains the instructions for designing, building up, monitoring and maintaining the green roofs. The paper was focused to know the types of green façade systems and their mechanisms, to understand the advantages and disadvantages of green façade, and to conclude with recommendations which improve the building performance.
